Our Wednesday Wedding
Aristide McKinney is a beautiful venue, but we had some real challenges with communication throughout our planning process. Our planner was referred to us but didn't show up to the rehearsal or wedding day itself, which left us confused but her assistant picked up where she left off. The venue did let us decorate the day before, which was helpful, and the staff made sure I stayed hydrated during the ceremony. While the space itself is gorgeous, the equipment feels outdated and could use an upgrade. If you choose this venue, I'd recommend being very hands-on with the assistant rather than the planner of the venue or bring your own. Overall, it worked out, but better communication and follow-through would make a big difference.

Dream wedding with a caveat
Overall, I give my wedding at Aristide 8.5/10. The venue is stand alone gorgeous. Our reception floor plan, catering, ceremony space, and floral were as promised and we were happy with the Walter’s Wedding vendors that we used (DJ Brendan-CoHost Entertainmet, DesignHaus Floral, Jason from Emily Chappell photography). HOWEVER, we owe a HUGE recognition to our personal wedding planner/day of coordinator to really pulling off the specifics of what we wanted on the day of. We had a wonderful experience with the sales manager, Katy T when we booked Aristide-McKinney, but the communication with our lead event coordinator often times left us frustrated, in the dark, and with a negative vibe that was not expected from someone working in this industry. We even found some mistakes in charges on our portal. The lower rated part of my review simply comes from our experience in this category taking place in the planning process and I feel without an outside coordinator, we would have had a worse experience. There is always grace for mistakes, but paying THOUSANDS to a corporation this large, leaves you with the impression that you wouldn’t have to cross your own T’s and dot your own I’s. Our day of coordinators from Aristide were changed last minute, which again, could cause some frustration or anxiety to never have met the staff prior to the wedding day. We leaned heavily on our personal coordinator that day who worked alongside Aristde’s staff. Both of the venue coordinators that day, Emily and Aly, worked wonderfully with our personal coordinator and we are grateful for their attention and hard work to make our day a success! On the venue side, I do wish they would have lit the string lights outside for cocktail hour and turned on the fountain for ambiance as told to us when we toured the venue, but not a huge deal. Do I recommend? Yes. Do I think you will have to be a type-A bride who is on top of things and paying close attention leading up to your big day?-also yes.

Bride
Aristide, McKinney was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the beginning, the communication with our wedding planner Kait was quick and responsive - she typically got back to us within 24-48 hours. The venue itself offered so much value for the base price, with an almost all-inclusive package that made planning a breeze. On the day of, Kait made sure everything went smoothly and we were able to fully enjoy the celebration without worrying about the details. We were thrilled with the quality of service and support Aristide provided, and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a stress-free wedding experience.
