Wonderful so far!
We are going to be able to have the wedding of our dreams outdoors with tree stump benches for our guests, overlooking a pond. They offer help during the wedding, valet parking, and a room to stay for the bride and groom the night of the wedding. The barn for the reception is beautiful. It's perfect! -

Linsey Sent on 07/19/2022I'm so happy we chose The Landing!
It was everything we asked for, agreed to and paid for. Something worth bringing up is the sound system. There's nothing wrong with it but from what I understand it was installed by someone who did so in an untraditional way Jojo didn't pay for and made it more confusing to use because they didn't leave any instructions or give her any information to help her maintain it for her clients. She's doing this on her own from what I understand and there also isn't always reliable service people to hire in small towns. She knew enough about it to get it up and running for us and my husband took over on the extra things he wanted to include. People usually bring in DJs if they are worried about things like that. My husband can work his way around a sound system and we didn't want to pay for a DJ so he took care of it and we had no issues whatsoever. At any venue, you should clarify if the owner can/will make adjustments to the system for your event or if additional help is required. They aren't actually required to do all of that for you. She was kind and took great care of us. She didn't get to attend the day of because of her daughter's wedding, I believe. But even so, she texted us throughout the day to check on us and the help she hired, who did their jobs. The land around the venue and ceremony area were all taken care of in a timely manner. It looked stunning! We chose to stay the night before in the bridal suite and decorate early so nothing got in the way day of. The venue was very clean and we had no issues setting up. The contract was clear and we were perfectly satisfied with the venue/service. I recommend The Landing for anyone looking for a good price point/relaxed setting. You have more freedom to do what you want here compared to some pricer options in the area. There wasn't anything left out or inappropriate about the service. I'm grateful for the time and effort she dedicated to getting to know us and our needs. The rehearsal dinner and wedding all went smoothly. Thanks, Jojo!The Landing's reply:
Oh, Linsey, I am so grateful you chose The Landing. I still think of you often and so wish I'd been able to attend your wedding. The photo of you laughing after ceremony is one of my most favoritist ever!
Thank you for this review. Just want to say the recent bride who complained about my not knowing how the stereo works has twisted how it really went down. She was supposed to test it on Friday if going to use it and a guest came up to me at reception and asked to use the stereo. It hadn't been paid for yet (previously discussed) so I was a bit surprised that they were going ahead with it. I looked in closet and the aux cord was not hanging over the stereo so the guest told me she had one in her car and went out to retrieve it. The stereo still sounds gorgeous!
A month after the wedding, the woman claimed it worked on Friday but I know it isn't true because I would have went to WM and bought another aux cord for Saturday!
I will never forget your help with the stereo downstairs and all our good convos.
Hope you are doing great and enjoying Missouri!
Best wishes always, JoJo

Amaya V. Sent on 07/17/2022this venue is a scam!
I have a second review. The venue owner messaged me about my review asking if the reason I was so upset was because of the mr & Mrs pictures she had up (I’m gay) and the Bible verses that were up, I had said no, because I never once mentioned that in the review, I had stated multiple times as to why I was upset with her and her venue. I had bug bites all over my legs from the fact that she had us get married on freshly mowed grass that had the clippings all over it, and upkept land. And I want everyone to know that there were so many other things wrong I couldn’t even begin to count them. She was extremely unprofessional and has no idea what she’s doing owning a wedding venue. She will literally leave a giant balloon arch from another wedding that isn’t even your colors in the loft, so it’ll end up in all your photos, she literally told us that it was our fault that the sound system didn’t work because we didn’t test it the day before but we had no idea how it worked, it’s not our job to test her equipment, and we were there already for 9 hours decorating the venue while she sat on her butt and slept on the couch downstairs. She also will tell you that she has staff that will help clean up the outside and help set up your wedding but be prepared to hire your own crew to mow the lawn, clean up all the clippings, and to clean up random things she just had lying around in the venue and outside the venue. That’s another thing! She literally lives in the venue downstairs and admitted to me that she stays in there a lot of nights (after we got married there) which I feel is something she should disclose. She also took a bath in the bridal suite before someone got there for their wedding, and when I asked her about it she was like “why does it bother anyone that i would do that, they didn’t come until a lot later” like?? It’s weird lady. you also can’t store much in the fridge because it’s full of all her personal food and stuff left from other weddings. I went ahead and asked for a refund after she had messaged me and told me I lied about everything in my reviews and my bridal party lied in their reviews too, (because obviously 5 people who say the same thing are all wrong, right? Lol) and she accused me of only asking for a refund because “obviously something unexpected financially came up and you’re asking for a refund” to which I was APPALLED because my wife and I aren’t those type of people, and we literally were in great terms for a year and she liked us alot, so for her to just come out the blue and accuse us of something like that is ridiculous.The Landing's reply:
I already told you I can not give a refund to you due to the lies you keep repeating.
The balloons had fallen off or were taken down from the wall behind the futon and should not even have been in any photos.
If someone wanted to use the frig in the Gathering Room, I make sure the shelves are cleared. I don't use that frig so if there were leftovers from another wedding, I could throw out if needed space, but the only thing your party put in there was a bag of cheese. Why are you bringing this up now when you could have asked the day of wedding if you needed more than the bar frig and a drawer for the cheese? Unreal.
The bath thing -- you brought it up and I told you that was a review from last year that stated I had bathed before bride arrived and it was not true. I haven't used the tub since two times in 2017 when new and I explained that the reviewer was not in the room when I told the bride I had just washed it out but you are twisting it! Shocking.
We already discussed that no one tested the stereo on Friday. That is discussed the day you sign contract -- if you want to use the stereo, it must be tested on the day before the wedding. You told me a month out you were coming to bring the $100.00 for use of the stereo (contract) and when you didn't pay, I assumed you had changed your minds about using it. I was surprised on Saturday when a lady came to me to ask about it! The aux cord was not hanging on stereo and your friend said she had a cord in her car and she'd be right back. She was friendly about it and I was happy she was able to solve the issue. The music was gorgeous. The issue now is that even tho you did not test it on Friday (and I told you if you had, we would have known aux cord had been taken and I would have gone to WM on Friday night to buy a new one!) you have stated twice now, that it worked on Friday. We have discussed all of this in texts and I don't understand why you are pursuing this if "it isn't about the refund...."
After the wedding, I heard you make outrageous statements and I was about to go in and contradict you and tell the truth, but then I heard you say, "and, I've just turned 21..." and I thought, Oh, my goodness, she is still so young and probably emotional. I heard you tell your BIL that you weren't going to pay me for the use of the stereo, so that is a breach of contract. I let it slide because it was over and it was so beautiful, with a great playlist that everyone seemed to enjoy. And, since I was NOT sleeping, I heard every song!
I did sympathize that you got bit on your leg and if I'd known that day, I would have gladly given you a salve to apply that takes bites away in minutes. On a farm, it is often a factor to have bugs in the grass and especially since everyone knows I refuse to use chemicals. I explain my Hippie worldview on every tour.
As for all the art being turned backwards to the wall, I asked you in a text when you contacted me month later, because I wondered if that is what set you in a sad mood for the day. One of your guests came up to me and said that your parents didn't attend so that made you sad -- I hadn't asked, so I wondered why she came to tell me. So, I had no indication otherwise that you were sad about the venue.
I really do not understand why you continue to say that your guest did yard work. Luke and a lady who helped with the arbor moved a bench a few feet and it took them about two minutes and they were very polite and willing to help. In a public review, you wrote that it took an hour to pick the bugs out of your dress but in a text to me, you wrote that you spent 15 minutes cleaning the bottom of dress. That is quite a lot of time difference on a wedding day.
I am so sorry you have sad feelings about your day but like I said already in texts and here, I will not give a refund to someone who lied about SO many issues. Like, some of it was just fantastical!
And, that you were in breach of contract with no damage deposit (guest did cause damage but it was not very costly and I assured her I was not upset and go enjoy the day.) and bragged about not giving it to me as well as the use of stereo.
You can continue to leave reviews, but I will respond.
As I sent in a text, I wish you a happy life. And, I don't understand your Sponge Bob responses. -
