The Magnolia - Brookside

Andrea Wright

Beautiful. I am so glad I had the chance to be part of such a beautiful day at such a beautiful venue

It's a beautiful place to have an event. When I was there I thought of a family concert by some of the musicians here in our town. Great size for 40 to 50 people, food, drinks.

Great staff. The railing in the back looked a little rough. I am hoping that can be touched up in pictures.

The prior google reviews here are reviews for Brookside Gardens (previous owners). I'll have to be honest, and I'm not usually one to complain. We weren’t impressed by the overall experience with Whitebird Events (owner of Magnolia at Brookside). There were some good things. Jordan, the manager for the evening, is a sweet heart, and the venue is a beautiful property with a lovely layout and location. We did have an amazing night and received many compliments on the look and feel of the venue. BUT: The venue, in general, was extremely dirty. The kitchen was absolutely disgusting. Food and flowers left in the fridge, counters not wiped. The sticky floor my husband mopped, dead flowers and signs left in the bathrooms. The bridal suite looked as though someone was drilling out sheet rock. Significant sheet rock- like dust everywhere. Sewer smell in bridal suite that did dissipate after a few hours. Our hair/ makeup girls mentioned the dust and the smell. The bar was gross and sticky… Jordan, understandably, was just doing what she was told, so no complaints on her, but she started clearing table decorations at 10:15 and taking people’s drinks from the table while they’re still drinking them. That was, absolutely, not okay. Nothing like sending the message, “get out of here” like clearing tables and taking drinks an hour and 45 mins before we had to, officially, be gone at midnight. My photographer showed up at the wrong Magnolia because both Whitebird Events venues have the same name. (Not their fault she showed up at the wrong place, but two venues with the same name, I can see, is confusing) Disappointing, especially considering the amount of money we spent on this venue. TWICE, actually, because they charged us to reschedule during Covid. The major issue being cleaning up with AMPLE enough time for that to have been done AFTER the party was over…. I sent these complaints to Deborah (owner). She did offer to provide some type of compensation to reconcile, but when I showed interest, she has not responded.
