mellwood art center

I loved this venue so much!! It was beautiful and very spacious, but the only problem was lady running the place. She was rude and not flexible about anything. Although she didnt cause any problem with my wedding and I would recommend the venue because you can have any caterer and bar tender I would be careful about asking for anything special because they are not flexible at all

Mellwood was a great location if you want to do all the work yourself. It is a great price for the location, but they do not budge as far as when you get into the location, when you must leave and we left a few things there that were never seen again. So make sure everything is picked up before you leave. The cleaning up after yourself was really the downfall of the space.

Some of the rental items "disappeared" after the wedding and I had to pay a lot to replace them. I've been told by multiple people that they mysteriously have items that are no where to be found when held at Mellwood

I had trouble with mellwood art center from the first day of contact, I should've read the signs. We needed a large venue and were stuck with them. They don't care if they get your business or not, and they definitely don't care if you come back. We dealt with SCOOTER the most and she is horrible business person. They cashed our deposit and months later when we investigated they said it was because the urinal broke the night of our reception-we had no idea!! they DO NOT communicate at all. It was very unorganized. The only positive from using them was that it was a large space, and you could bring in your own alcohol and caterer. Anything left in the space (my bridal shoes and other items) vanished after 2 am-they do not have a lost in found which they should! BAD BUSINESS! and you do all the work yourself-do not expect any help from them at all!!

The Mellwood offers you the biggest bang for you buck by allowing you to bring in your own catering and alcohol.

I will have to say that I thought Mellwood Art & Entertainment Center was going to offer so much more than what they did. My family and I were very disappointed with their staff services on our day and I would recommend to other brides to look at other locations. The space was great but the service was poor. We were not allowed in until almost 9am, when they told us 8am.(Staff was still setting up when we arrived) Then we were given the daytime contact number but when we called for assistance, the gentleman was home for the day and told to call someone else and the restrooms were not properly stocked with the basic amenities.

Terrible! They took us to court after our event. I cant possibly put all my words into this space, please email me nhenson1@hotmail.com if youre interested in our story, i will gladly share it. Wave3 troubleshooter has agreed to hear our story, hopefully we can get enough info out there so that perspective couples with guests of over 300 people dont have to endure what we did. Absolutely terrible service, bold faced liars and as unprofessional as they come. 0 stars is too much.

Mellwood was great! We actually had booked for August 21st and our church was unavailable, so they were able to switch it to a date our church was available. They are extreemly flexible, you can use your own caterer/bartending service. They also do all of the arranging of tables and chairs for your event, you just give them a floor plan and the set it up how you like it. The best part was that we had the room from 8am and didn't have to have it cleaned up until 2am!

My husband and I loved that we could pretty much do whatever we needed and wanted at this venue. The only negative thing we have to say is how horrible our on call guy was and we did everything ourselves but they never came to clean the night before us so we had to clean everything. We were slightly PO'd.

I really liked having my wedding and reception at the Mellwood Art Center. The venue is beautiful and interesting and it is a total bonus that you can bring in any vendor and your own alcohol. Really the only difficulties I experienced were with communication. Everything wasn't as formal as I would have liked, although it caused us no problems. My biggest issue was with the accessibility of the rental space. Not being able to access the room during the evening on weekdays was difficult because several of my vendors had day jobs and often worked Saturdays at other weddings, so scheduling walk throughs was difficult. We were able to work around it though. Luckily I work close to the venue and we have a flexible lunch policy.

Mellwood offers a special place for venues! They cater to your wants and desires and make everything so special. They are also very affordable and you can choose any vendor to cater your event! I would highly recommend Mellwood for any type of event, especially a wedding!

I really like Mellwood. My husband and I each really liked two different places and couldn't agree on where to have the reception. We stopped at Mellwood on a whim and fell in love with the space. It is very ecclectic and artsy - you can dress up the space or dress it down. The event coordinator is very helpful if you need suggestions but they pretty much leave it up to you to bring in any vendors you want. Extemely flexible with your needs and the time you have available to decorate or hold your event. Lovely space.

great! you can bring your own catering and alcohol
