Beautiful Venue
The Madonna Inn was a beautiful wedding venue, but the communication and coordination with the staff left much to be desired. The head venue coordinator was difficult to work with and constantly butted heads with our wedding coordinator, making our day more stressful than it needed to be. The chairs for the ceremony were set up just 10 minutes before our guests arrived, and the overall communication from the venue could have been a lot better. Despite these issues, the staff was generally great, and the venue itself was stunning. However, the poor coordination and communication made the planning process more challenging than it should have been.
