Family (Engagement Party Function)
East Riddlesden Hall, National Trust的点评
点评:I had my daughter’s engagement part reception at the East Riddlesden Hall and were delighted to have booked the hall.
We were planning this for years to hold a reception here, as this place is stunning, beautiful, historical and anyone can fall in love with it on first sight.
It took us days to get in touch with the event manager (Agatha Cooper), on the day we made appointment, she was not there and we were received by a very helpful and polite lady (sorry forgot name), who showed us around even on a freezing day.
I arranged to go with my daughter over the weekend and visited the inside of the hall. What we were promised to be included was not included at the end.
Laura and Jess were very helpful, whereas the tone of the event manager’s communication was challenging and came across confrontational rather than helpful.
A minimum spend on drinks was required and I asked to make J2O drinks available, which was promised and, on the day, not a single drink bottle (apart from tea and coffee through hot water) was made available.
We were promised that a golf buggy will be available to take guests to the toilets and yes it was parked there and not on a single occasion it was made available.
Despite of promises that the lights in the car parking area will be available, it was completely dark and lights were not switched on.
We were promised that the toilets will be cleaned at intervals and kept clean, these were not cleaned a single time during the hire period. Muddy and filthy toilets.
In closing, I wish to have been writing glowing comments but sadly event manager’s reluctant to help and not available on phone was disappointing right from the beginning to the end.
I would advise everyone to pay attention to details for every single contractual detail prior to paying and signing contract.
翻译:我女儿的订婚招待会在 East Riddlesden Hall 举行,很高兴预定了大厅。
我们计划在这里举行招待会已经好几年了,因为这个地方令人惊叹、美丽、历史悠久,任何人都会一见钟情。
我们花了好几天才联系到活动经理(Agatha Cooper),在我们预约的那天,她不在,一位非常乐于助人、彬彬有礼的女士(抱歉,我忘记了名字)接待了我们,她带我们参观了大厅,即使在寒冷的天气里也是如此。
我安排周末带女儿去,参观了大厅内部。我们承诺包括在内的服务到最后并没有包括。
Laura 和 Jess 非常乐于助人,而活动经理的沟通语气却很挑衅,给人的感觉是对抗性的,而不是乐于助人。
饮料有最低消费要求,我要求提供 J2O 饮料,他们答应了,但当天没有提供一瓶饮料(除了用热水泡的茶和咖啡)。
我们被承诺会提供一辆高尔夫球车送客人去厕所,是的,它停在那里,但一次都没有被提供。
尽管承诺停车场的灯会亮,但那里一片漆黑,灯也没亮。
我们被承诺会定期清洁厕所,保持干净,但在租用期间,厕所一次都没有被清洁过。泥泞肮脏的厕所。
最后,我本想写一些热情洋溢的评论,但遗憾的是,活动经理从头到尾都不愿意提供帮助,也不接电话,这让我很失望。
我建议大家在付款和签订合同之前,注意每一个合同细节。
