I had my wedding in May 2023. I was impressed with the decorations. However, the wedding coordinator Ms. Ruby was rude to some of my bridemaids and hostesses by the tone she was talking to them. My guests did not get a chance to see my husband (the groom) and I do our last dance since Ms. Ruby was rushing my guests out the door at 6:30pm but my event was supposed to end at 7pm. The floor plan was not correct that they put the long big table in the middle of the aisle at the reception area. It was in way and should have more room for the dance floor. This venue is well overprice for the service we had received. The DJ hardly play any songs that we requested, even though he had the list in weeks of advance. During the wedding cocktail hour, they would not allowed my guests to come inside and they had to eat their appetizers outside (I did not request this to happened). The guests had to wait outside and some of my guests had left. The catering company complained about not letting them come in early to prepare and cook the food and they had to come 1 hour before the ceremony started. I wonât be using this venue in the future, since it was a lot of miscommunication and disorganization. Reviewed on 08-01-2024

Rhonda Cobbs-Henry(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-01-2023 Greetings to fellow people looking for a venue to hold your special day or event, especially if it is your first time like it was for me. I want to share how a birthday party turned into a real-life fairy tale and a dream come true-birthday party. Since the event, I still close my eyes at night and remember that particular day again like yesterday. I first came in contact with NaKayshions Wedding & Event Center while searching for a venue to renew my wedding vows on The Knot website. Still, after CoVID shut the country down, it was a while before I contacted the owner again.Meanwhile, during the waiting period for the country's reopening, among other things, I was prompted to change the event from a wedding vow renewal to a 60th birthday party. It was indeed one of the best decisions of my life. So after I contacted the venue a second time and spoke to the owner about my plans and what I wanted, I set up an appointment to visit the location. It was my first time at the event center, and when I walked into the venue and looked around, my vision suddenly came to life. At that moment, I knew it was the location I would use for my special day.The journey began first with the price quoted to rent the venue in the range of my budget. I placed my deposit to hold my date and received a receipt for all transactions. If I called with questions, the answers were provided on the spot. The staff was knowledgeable about the business, and any questions answered never disappointed my curiosity, especially anytime communication was necessary regarding my big day. Ms. Shirley and all other staff members, especially the owners, the DJ, and security, worked with me until the event day. It was not just a use of a venue; they treated me like family, and I made new friends. The other vendors I used for my special night could gain access to the event center and set up on time before the event with no problem. Reflecting on the journey, I thought it essential to share that going to the venue to see how the decorations were set up a week and the day before the event took place caused me to tear up; it was so beautiful. Lastly, the night of the event was so special as the staff was there to help me celebrate made it even more special. I can't wait to use the venue again, and I hope you will consider it a choice to hold your special event. I can't guarantee it, but I bet you won't be disappointed. Reviewed on 22-04-2023

LaJeana Green(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-09-2019 Unorganized with owners that doesnât take ownership. I purchased the âBESTâ package and received less than average. A month before the wedding I called several times and for my tasting. I finally spoke to Mrs. Shirley (the decorator) and schedule a date. I rearranged my work schedule to make the appointment. When I arrived I was informed they schedule me for my mock table setup that I didnât have a chance to look at anything!Luckily they had a setup for a party where the colors were similar and I just added to the design. Food Vendor:Weeks before my wedding of trying to contact the food vendor. I contact Mr.Jackson and he finally setup an appointment for the tasting awesome. We purchased 10 additional chairs to the âBestâ package making the total count 60. Some of my guest didnât have chairs I shouldâve had 6 extra chairs available because a family of 6 did not attend. I reviewed my wedding video and only 50 chairs where placed. Both of us are from Michigan so we knew the exact count of our guest.The wedding coordinator: Ms. Ruby was nice but that changed quickly. She was not very organized. I rented 2 flower girl baskets and ring pillow from the venue. She came to ask me where they are! I originally had 2 flower girls but one flower girl and her family of 6 didnât make it. I had 2 packs of flower girl petals she only used 1/2 of 1 pack!My flowers ran out of flowers halfway down. At the reception there was no assigned sitting she was very rude at telling my guest to move.she once came back and told me that someone didnât move. My expensive bottle of champagne was not on my table as promised. She didnât do the mother son dance. At cake cutting time she asked me where my knife was? I rented them from the venue so she had to run around to find them. It was 9pm I was scheduled to take pictures with my outside vendors car (I found he was wonderful). We go out to take pictures while my guest partied. All of a sudden I see a group of people come outside Iâm thinking they are watching us but Ms.Ruby told them that we were doing our sparkler send off and told everyone that it was time to go!She was telling people that âtheyâ lock the gates at 10pm. My time slot was from 6pm-10pm she rushed my guest out at9:30pm!On top of that she had my sister and sister-in-law cleaning. I told them the next day that they werenât supposed to clean. I was outraged!! A clipboard wouldâve been helpful instead of asking me what I wanted to do next.STRESSFUL! After my wedding and honeymoon. I called and spoke with Mrs.Jackson about my concerns. She said that even though they provide and recommend the in house vendors listed on the website. Thatâs their set prices and the owners (Mr and Mrs Jackson) arenât responsible for any monetary refund for the vendors services. She also offers me 50% off my next event that I would have to book within the next year.My thoughts are if you offer and provide services do not separate ownership from your business when the website list these services under Nakayshionâs not a separate vendors. I was told I had to seek a refund from the coordinator personally and they only apologized for the seating. Oh and bring forks if you have a cake you would think for the cost of the BEST package everything would be provided as I was explained I didnât have to worry about anything. On the day of Ms. Ruby hid the forks behind the DJ b/c I didnât bring them!I didnât know! Venue beautiful but service and customer service not so good. Reviewed on 17-01-2020

Rena Childs(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2020 If you are a same sex couple, donât bother! They will not do your ceremony. They will however take your money to do a reception! Lmao ...While I am completely understanding of your religious beliefs, donât waste my time, having me drive an hour to look at a venue that you wonât even host my event at. When I emailed them, I specified that we were a same sex couple, they responded saying they would love to talk about prices! Itâs pretty simple to just say unfortunately we donât accept same sex ceremonies. Instead they had me drive there, then tell me my date was booked( highly doubt it was) .. then give me a tour, tell me the prices and then follow it up with we are Christian based and donât do same sex marriages, but if you want to do the reception, we can maybe do that.

Amanda Jones(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2019 Mr. and Mrs. Jackson really make this place. There were some staff changes throughout the planning process but Mrs./ Mr. Jackson were always on top of things. We had a few mishaps but the Jackson's were sure to oblige in any way possible by going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. The actual day of our wedding was spectacular for the most part. Emmanuel was extremely helpful and kept a smile on his face while providing us with exceptional service. There were a few minor details that left us a little less than impressed. The bartender complained to our guest for having to serve the drinks in glassware not plastic as well as to the groom himself. We thought that was slightly tacky considering this was never an issue with the venue who hired them. Also the DJ left us a little bothered for two reasons, we had a special playlist for the wedding that we spent hours getting together. I'm pretty sure he didn't even have it on hand because he played 0 songs from it. The ceremony music and 1st dance song / bride\\ father dance was fine. He also didn't announce our best man or maid of honor at the reception or us the newlyweds! And was gone by 10pm when our allotted time was until 11pm. Our last song of the night was played by some staff member who had hooked his phone up to the sound system. Some of our guests felt a little rushed out the door as well. We were asked to start picking up the event space at about 9:40pm to prepare for the last dance that was over an hour away. There were storms that night so that also played a factor, but we definitely did not get the venue to 11pm. Mrs. Ruby was helpful to us too! For the most part she helped keep the flow of things going. The overall experience was fantastic and highly recommend them if looking for an event space in the DFW area! Thanks so much Mr. and Mrs. Jackson for helping create our wedding vision, we can only hope to have our marriage be as successful as you alls! Reviewed on 16-10-2019

This week we just celebrated our 26th anniversary, so as we look back over our years together, we must include the beautiful time we had at Naykashions. From the planning, to the wedding, and everything in between ( including impeccable customer service), and attention to every detail, we can't brag enough about the Jacksons and Naykashions.

Everything that Na'Kayshions had to offer us was not only what we were looking for but also the best deal around. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson are so genuine and easy to work with. We felt like they really cared about making our event special. Ms. Shirley was so patient with us with our many many changes and requests. She was very helpful with suggestions and worked with us to make sure we were always happy. We owe so much to Ms. Charita who worked closely with us from the very beginning. Let me tell you, this girl knows her stuff!! I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. She is such a genuinely good person who went out of her way many times to help us. She did everything she could to keep us happy and stress free. I honestly don't believe our wedding would have been as smooth and as beautiful as it was without her.

I was married in the historic chapel, but they also have a beautiful garden terrace and a breathtaking lakeside gazebo. I had my reception in the Grand Hall and it was PERFECT! In addition to the stunning venue and the passionate staff, they also offered all the decorations, food and even a DJ as part of the package. For the most part, all I had to do was show up. When I arrived on the day of the wedding everything was PERFECT! The chapel was dressed with simple elegance, the grand hall was decorated even more beautiful than I imagined, the service was just as fantastic as it had been throughout the planning phase and the food was some of the best I have ever had!

Brittani Shipp(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-11-2015 My mom & I took a tour of this venue this weekend, as the prices listed online are great! The pictures also looked pretty inviting. After spending 30+ minutes getting information on the facility and touring, we sat down for our quote. The starting prices of each package were well above what the prices are online. Maybe the prices online are for 50 guests (who knows because it definitely doesn't explain). The lovely lady that toured us was wonderful & informative. Overall, the facility needs some updating, it has a bit of a musty smell, and I just think you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere. Even their premier package only includes 1 entree, and the permanent decor is dated (old greenery & gold details). The space can definitely be dressed to your liking, but I do not think the price is worth it. Reviewed on 10-11-2014

The owners are kind but somewhat lacking in business etiquette. I recommend communicating with one primary person throughout the entire process. Make sure they have enough of all the table decorations in your colors, ask if the pond is cleaned and sprayed for mosquitos and that the hedges are trimmed so your guest can see you as you are walking down the aisle (a very important factor), the chairs could use some painting or touching up, the additional items sold from their store are overpriced (ex: a pair of basic white slippers were apprx. $30.00) you can find the same items way cheaper at any local store. Those were my main concerns. Although, these were my issues please keep in mind that they are very accommodating if you express your concerns. They will definitely listen!!!
