Chamberlain Farm & Pavilion

The wedding that we had at Chamberlain farms pavilion was phenomenal. It was decorated very nicely for the wedding and the people there were very friendly.

I was pretty stunned when I got the opportunity to photograph a wedding at this venue. I had never heard of it, and its pretty unique and awesome. There is a ton of different spaces and locations for creating some really wonderful bridal party photographs and wedding portraits. And they really do an amazing job with helping organize the wedding and make it run smoothly. I would highly suggest checking it out.

TLDR: venue, stunning. Staff, great. Owner? Needs to be taken out of communication/retire. We started wedding planning in 2019 for a 09/2020 wedding. With the pandemic we faced SEVERAL hurdles, covid and non covid related, throughout the process. In 2020 when we had to cancel last minute, the venue was good about communication regarding state mandates and they monitored them with vigilance and updated accordingly. However, their contract heavily states "no refunds under any circumstances for any reason". I feel like an exception for *worldwide pandemic* should be included, because this caveat also meant we were entirely an annual deposit that would go towards our balance, when we didn't even know if we were going to have a wedding even in 2021. Jacqui made it very clear there would be no grace on that front. Fast forward to less than 3 weeks from our wedding date, 10/31/2021. Within a few days of providing payment, Patricia does politely inform me that the venue had a policy change and that our event would have to be cut early by 30min to accommodate. When I pointed out that we actually had a signed and paid for contract stating we got entertainment until 10pm, I didn't hear back. This was because Jacqui didn't know how to respond to an email with "reply all" *sarcasm*. I found out at the decor meeting and received the email saying it's a town ordinance. Fine, can't argue with that. Fast forward to one week before the wedding. I inform the DJ that our originally scheduled time is being moved up, and he has to allow for his breakdown between last song and 10pm. He took initiative and contacted the venue directly to clarify if his team could get extra time after 10pm to pack up, or if he would actually have to pack up earlier than our event end time. The DJ needed an hour to pack up, vs the 30min the venue estimated. Without telling me, Jacqui told the DJ to "do what you have to do to be gone by 10pm" (see screenshot). The DJ actually replied, copied me in it, saying he needed to check with us (like the venue should have). I emailed the DJ separately, thanking him for keeping me in the loop, an then emailed Jacqui and Patricia my frustration with being intentionally left out of the loop. I was also upset that we weren't getting what we agreed to and paid for with a written agreement, and asked for some sort of wiggle room/compensation (discounted appetizers, anything really). Instead, Jacqui responds to me that I get 7 hours of the venue and nothing more (see SS). I told her that her complete lack of empathy, compassion, and willingness to work with us was incredibly frustrating. I never heard back from her, and the wedding has come and gone. Also, I called the police office 10/29 and asked about the event/sound ordinance, and there actually isn't one. But town hall was closed so I couldn't get that in writing. Lying to break contract is a BIG no-no. Good things: Patricia and her assistant Chris were phenomenal throughout. They set up all of our decor perfectly, went with our unconventional requests (such as having a Scottish quaich to do a whisky toast instead of champagne flutes). They made great effort to organize the bridal party (much like herding kittens on catnip) and remembered everyone's names. Day of, I was so nauseous I thought I would be sick. Patricia was right in the bridal suite, asked what we needed, and within 2 minutes of asking for ginger ale I had it in hand and a second one available to me. Her and Chris communicated great with each other and the rest of us, made everything happen smoothly and ON TIME! And constantly checked in to make sure we all had what we needed and were happy and had our needs met. The food was excellent and all of the staff were super friendly, and it felt genuine when they wished us congratulations! I have to give an extra special shoutout to Ian the bartender. He was very fun, charismatic, and when I misplaced my phone at the end of the night (spoiler it was in my overnight bag the whole time) he stuck with me and helped me look for it.
