Troy-Hayner Cultural Center

"Beautiful building and very clean! The first time I visited I was greeted by a wonderful woman MarryJane and she was lovely, I let her know I was getting information about taking some photos there that weekend and got all the information I needed, I show up the day of and was greeted again until I waited for my clients to show up, they showed up and my client had a service dog for heart issues, I confirmed with the staff that we would be allowed in as long as we held the dog the entire time and we did so, however we had 2-3 employees circling us the entire time, which I understood maybe they were worried about the dog making a mess? However I felt like if it was a problem we should have been told not to bring her inside. We located what rooms we were allowed to shoot in and I was fixing some blinds that were very low and needed a bit more light, after checking the rule sheet there was no nothing regarding adjusting blinds, one of the employees runs in and yells at me to stop and I did and explained I did not see that in the rules, so am I still in the wrong? We continue taking pictures with her watching over our shoulder, my clients were African and I have to wonder if that had something to do with how we were being treated this time, because the previous time was wonderful. Anyway we get done with our photos and go to leave and the front desk lady asks for my full name, I give it to her and ask why and she just smiles at me and shakes her head, maybe she did not hear me, maybe I am banned? I have no clue, so I left it at that. I would have loved to give a better review but the fact we were told it was ok to take pictures and were okay bringing in her service dog, I assumed a but more respect while I was working, instead it felt like a lot of passive aggressive comments and smirks, I kept asking if the dog was a problem we would be 100% okay leaving, I understand the fear of an accident happening to a historic building, but constantly being reassured that it was alright, I think it is a beautiful building and would love to have more events there, but not have myself and clients treated that way again."

"Nice tradition! Christmas in the house!"

"Hubby and I went to Porchfest here. It was a small, outdoor craft sale and demonstrations. There was also music and several food trucks. Within walking distance, there were also several outdoor areas where you could enjoy other musical entertainers."

"Beautiful venue for a small outdoor wedding. The place has so much history. The architecture was incredible and was awesome for pictures. Many opportunities for a beautiful event space."

"What a great trip. We went today with a group of senior citizens and Rachel and Steve were so wonderful and helpful. They shared a lot of great facts about the history of the building and the beautiful artwork on display."
