S N P J Picnic Grove

I had my wedding reception scheduled for July 2 2011, at SNPJ on Evanstown Road in Herminie, PA. Everything was going fine (and the hall was booked almost a year in advance) until 9 days before my wedding when I get a call from the lady who ran the place (M. B.) stating that the grass was wet and they wouldn’t be able to cut it, which meant that the guest would have to park in the grass and walk through high grass. I told her I understood; it has rained for months straight and may be too wet to cut. Then she proceeds to tell me that the plumbing isn’t working and that there are no bathrooms! This, she claimed, was due to a problem with the septic tank and the drilling that was occurring around the area.
I was devastated! The lady was rude and unaccommodating. She said, «well if you want to cancel, you can go ahead that’s fine with me.» This was again 9 days prior to the wedding. She said that there would be 5 porta johns for us to use. I had asked her for a handicapped one, thinking that it would be big enough for me and my dress to fit in to, along with my other female guests. I was told no. They said they would give me $ 100 off the hall rental, which I did not feel was significant for the embarrassment and aggravation of having 175 guests look at uncut grass, sulfer deposits from the backed-​up septic tank, and use porta johns in nice clothes. I was able to find another hall at the last minute. I was promptly given the money back by M. B., but was made to feel guilty for cancelling. I was not offered my security deposit, although this was out of my control AND also not an act of God.
I will never ever go to the SNPJ picnic grounds again and I will strongly tell anyone who will listen how rude and unsympathetic the SNPJ picninc grove staff are. Who wants to be told 9 days before their wedding that, «there is a closet up on the stage and you could just change in there and then go outside to pee».
This is the 4^th time I have put this review on here and it keeps getting filtered, not sure why. I will keep posting it. Thanks!
