3/5 Janna Q. 5 years ago on Google
Adele
Grage
is
a
beautiful
for
a
wedding/reception!
I
do
have
some
advice
for
future
couples
looking
at
using
this
venue
to
help
save
them
the
stress
we
had
to
feel
leading
up
to
the
wedding
due
to
booking
issues
(the
reason
why
I
docked
stars):
1)
When
you
go
in
to
book
the
place,
make
sure
that
you
see
that
your
time
is
getting
booked
on
the
calendar.
This
was
our
biggest
headache
with
the
entire
wedding
and
time
leading
up
to
it
as
there
were
issues
4
times
with
us
not
being
on
the
right
calendar
or
it
being
in
the
right
place
(I
think
it's
because
they
had
a
lot
of
turnover
between
the
time
we
booked
(14
months
out)
and
the
big
day...
unfortunately
new
staff
and
management
had
to
pick
up
the
pieces/try
to
fix
which
I'm
sure
was
stressful
for
them
too).
Note:
Not
being
on
the
calendar
or
in
the
right
monthly
folder
(there's
a
system
of
folders
for
each
month,
because
our
April
wedding
was
put
in
the
December
folder)
means
the
venue
gets
double
booked
for
the
time
you
paid
for.
2)
If
you
are
unable
to
see
that
you
were
put
on
the
calendar/right
place
in
that
first
consultation,
we
recommend
calling
every
1-3
months
to
be
sure
it's
what
you
agreed
to
and
that
no
one
else
is
getting
booked
over
you
(when
you
pay,
it
books
the
ENTIRE
building
-
a
lot
of
our
frustration
was
that
other
groups
were
getting
double
booked
for
the
same
times,
they
just
wanted
1
side
but
when
you
pay
for
the
entire
building
it
feels
wrong
and
my
husband
was
supposed
to
get
ready
on
that
side!
He
didn't
need
to
be
getting
dressed
for
his
big
day
with
strangers).
3)
On
that
note,
if
you
don't
select
a
full
day
(for
example,
we
realized
we
also
needed
to
book
3
hours
the
night
before
to
setup
and
went
in
to
book/pay
for
that
also)
that
the
hours
you
specify
are
on
the
memo
of
your
check/their
calendar
too/all
the
places.
We
booked
7-10pm
and
paid
for
the
night
before
in
Dec,
but
3
days
before
the
wedding
in
April
we
were
told
we
could
have
8-10pm
because
another
group
was
in
there.
I'm
not
pushy,
but
at
that
point
I
had
to
ask
"but
we
paid
for
3
hours".
We
ended
up
getting
8-11pm.
This
worked,
but
also
wasn't
ideal
because
we
had
a
noon
wedding.
This
stressed
out
my
parent
because
they
needed
their
sleep.
I
had
to
manage
my
own
frustration
about
it
and
an
upset
parent
which
was
a
lot.
4)
Make
sure
you
ask
which
tables
can
be
used
when
you
book/pay.
Get
the
number
of
tables
and
write
them
down.
The
group
that
was
double
booked
in
the
building
before
us
(for
the
night
before
-
yes
-
both
the
night
before
and
wedding
day
were
double
booked)
told
us
we
could
drag
back
over
the
tables
to
the
side
we
used
for
the
reception
when
they
left...
then
a
park
ranger
came
in
morning
of
and
needed
those
tables
for
a
different
venue
(somehow
they
didn't
all
belong
to
Adele
Grage).
We
had
to
resetup
half
of
the
room
again
while
our
hair/makeup
artists
were
there
under
a
schedule.
My
family
about
lost
it
on
the
park
ranger
(even
tho
he
was
the
messenger),
because
of
all
the
issues
I'd
had
so
far
there.
...
*Overall,
I
want
to
say
great
location,
super
pretty
(you'll
get
great
pics!),
kid
friendly,
nice
that
it
has
chairs/tables/kitchen...
but
I
wanted
to
provide
the
above
advice
to
others
who
plan
to
setup
and
have
a
wedding/reception
here...
things
I
wish
I
had
known
how
to
handle
differently.
I
still
probably
would've
picked
the
location,
but
I
wish
I'd
known
how
to
handle
it
(us
both
being
introverts
and
non-confrontational)
so
that
we
wouldn't
have
had
the
stress
we
felt.
