User2338417 Sent on 09/28/2015Wonderful place to have your wedding/reception. The brides changing room was fabulous! The area around the Griswold is beautiful. The pictures turned out amazing. We didn't have anyone to play the music during the ceremony and the Griswold had someone do it for us. The staff was great to work with. -
User2204584 Sent on 06/30/2015This venue was a wonderful place to hold our wedding ceremony and reception! The rates were very reasonable and they were flexible with our choice of vendors! Vicki was a wonderful help in making sure there was always someone there to lend a hand while we were at the venue and our ceremony and reception went without any issues as a result! $

We used an outside cater who brought food in. The kitchen was adequate for food preparations but needed to be prepared off site by catering company. To serve alcohol approval from three area churches is regarded
We needed to provide all table service and decorations -

We had everything set up, paid and ready to go. 6 months before our wedding they EMAILED me to tell me they double booked and we lost our venue -
User2541937 Sent on 02/24/2016Originally, I had made my contract with the previous manager of the Griswold, Vicki. Vicki was a pleasure to work with. Sadly, as my wedding was nearing, I was contacted by the current management, Tammy who had replaced Vicki. Tammy brought in several tours while we were setting up on the day before my wedding. These tours involved snowy shoes tromping through my reception, touching items and taking pictures. On the day of my wedding, Tammy also brought in more strangers with snowy shoes in to dirty the floors on tours. No one asked if we were ok with the tours and I felt that it was very disrespectful and my personal items were vulnerable. My wedding was supposed to be special, not a marketing tool. After my wedding ceremony, walking out as bride and groom, we were bombarded by the staff about giving permission to post photos.
The auditorium does not include the use of their sound system if you plan on getting married on the stage. The dressing rooms above the kitchen were dirty with cobwebs, spiders and live stink bugs on the walls. The facilities are out dated. The venue itself was affordable and the brickwork outside provided a good photo location.
However, the pros did not outweigh the cons. Management was terribly rude and disrespectful with no social boundaries.
