Reviews
"We recently scheduled an appointment to tour St Thomas & The City Club for daughter's wedding. To say the Venue is beautiful is an understatement. Lynette the Event Coorinator/Wedding planner was who completed our tour. Her knowledge and expertise was most helpful and we are looking forward to working with her as we plan. Since booking this venue we have had questions arise and Lynette has responded in a timely manner. The packet they provide upon booking the event is also very helpful and provides info beneficial to your planning."
"I wouldn't say I regret choosing this location for our wedding. However, if you are looking at this venue, I would highly advise not to hire Lynette as your wedding coordinator. This venue is stunning and the building is owned by a high-end restaurant so catering and bar service is covered. When we signed our contract, Shannon was the coordinator. She was extremely knowledgeable and had great work ethic. We were so excited to work with her but she moved out of state 2 months before the wedding and Lynette took over. We had several issues with her from the start. She was supposed to process our last payment 3 days before it was due and ended up sending me a blank receipt without charging my card. Our planner called to ask her the same question about measurements for the altar and tables 3 times and she never responded to her until my husband called and yelled. We also had issues trying to get her to update our day of timeline. Several times she said she would get it updated and just never did so we had to redo it ourselves and provide copies to our vendors. We called multiple times asking to speak with an actual manager because we felt something sketchy was going on but Lynette was always the one to call back. The whole time we were trying to figure out if she was just lazy or incompetent and it caused a lot of stress thinking she was going to do something to mess up our day. At the rehearsal, it was obvious she had no idea what she was talking about. We had warned the officiant of what was going on so he ended up just leading the whole thing. Day of the wedding comes, and she is no where to be found. She said she would open the venue for us at 8am. 9:30 comes around and our planner is calling and waking around the venue trying to get in to start decorating. I just don't think she is a good fit and she caused a lot of unnecessary stress. We basically paid $1,600 for someone to cause stress and confusion and the venue was not there to support us."
"You will not regret choosing St. Thomas! This venue is absolutely stunning. It does not need many decorations because it is so beautiful in itself. Off season is affordable! They have a catering package and provide wonderful hours. The staff is so sweet and great to work with! Would 100% choose St. Thomas again and again. Could not recommend a venue more!"
"I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to hold my daughters wedding at St. Thomas Preservation Hall. Due to Covid and military deployments we had to change our date several times and they were very accommodating even holding to our originally contracted fees. It was 2 years from the time we started planning until we finally had the wedding there and the venue went through a few changes in coordinators during that time. Again it was seamless. We ended up with Kerri as our coordinator. She is amazing. We had a rough couple of weeks leading up to the wedding. Our grooms father passed away a few weeks prior and the bride’s father was involved in a serious motorcycle accident 5 days prior (and still somehow managed to convince the hospital let him out in time). We were last minute getting a lot of information to Kerri and she just rolled with it. With all the stress that brought we didn’t have to worry about anything the day of except getting our bride ready to go. Kerri took care of the rest. The bride room downstairs is a great place to hang out and get ready and they even have a room for the Groom as well! I highly recommend this venue! I would give it more stars than 5 if I could!"
"Saint Thomas is a gorgeous venue, inside and out. Heather is beyond amazing! From start to finish of planning and throughout the wedding she was very knowledgeable, helpful, organized, and lifted so much off our shoulders in terms of the day of. I highly recommend her services if utilizing Saint Thomas. Poppy, all of the staff, and bartenders were fantastic as well. I couldn't have asked for a better day and people to work with!"
