It’s truly remarkable that someone with such disdain for people would want to be the face of a people-oriented industry! There's so much more to say but please let me ‘bottom line’ the takeaway: Dealing with Elk Mountain Estate was a terrible experience from soup to nuts. Laura seemed much more interested in showing us her art collection than giving us any answers about load in procedures. They need to hire a knowledgeable, personable public relations director who understands how to deal with clients, especially new brides who need empathy bc they're under pressure. And the wifi doesn't work if you're more than 25 feet from the house. Trying to get wifi passwords ahead of time to print on our wedding signage was an exercise in futility, you’d think we were asking for her bank info. Try having to buy your own trash cans at Lowe’s 4 days before your wedding because she refuses to tell you their garbage protocols or how many cans they have no matter how many months you’ve been politely asking. Try planning an outdoor DIY wedding and your vendor can’t answer basic questions about power, to the point where you're so afraid you have to spend $3000 to rent a quiet generator. You want transparency and trust and at the very least: communication. In vendors, you’re looking for allies and warm folks with whom you have a great working relationships. Please understand that planning your own wedding - let alone a DIY weekend in the mountains - is an impossibly hard, emotionally fraught endeavor that lasts for months and months. Her poor attitude colored our entire experience from the initial planning to the execution of all weekend events to the cleanup/check out process to even getting our security deposit back (she said 3 weeks, but it took over 2 months) - she even had the audacity to look us in the face and tell us 'they really don't do weddings!' whereas that's all their Instagram advertises. When she actually did engage, her haughty and dismissive attitude towards a new bride trying to plan the biggest day of her life was shockingly disrespectful. She never answered her phone and her voicemail remained ‘full’ for 10 straight months. Every answer was yes or no, the bare minimum, no information was freely offered, and most follow up questions were simply ignored. It was all like that, for over 10 months. Imagine having to wait 3 weeks for an email or text answer just to find out how many tables are being provided in the basic package she sold us - only to have to wait another 2 weeks to find out if those tables are 8 feet or 10 feet long. She was so charming when we first met her - until we paid our first deposit and she became completely uncommunicative. I simply cannot stress enough what a negative impact her behavior had on us during our entire wedding planning process. The houses are NOT AT ALL worth the trouble of dealing with the host, Laura - the single most unprofessional and intentionally disrespectful person I have ever done business with, in any capacity, in my 52 years on this planet.
