This review focuses on the Great Hall venue space in the back of the building. Me and my fiancee toured the venue, along with her mother in consideration of hiring Wild Onion to host our wedding reception. It's readily apparent that Wild Onion does not pay close attention to how the venue space is maintained or cleaned. There were large stains everywhere in the carpet. In fact it didn't look like the carpet had ever been cleaned since it was installed. It didn't help that the carpeting was a light gray and highlighted every little stain. You can also notice the high-traffic areas in the carpet, because when it never gets cleaned, the tracks the servers (and guests) take become rather visible. To the owners: part with a few nickels and get that carpet cleaned once or twice a month. Another notable oversight was how clean the venue was kept otherwise. There were food splatters on the walls, stains in the fabric on the room divider that folds in and out of the wall (these were visible because the last two segments are still visible when it's fully retracted), and I even saw a 5-foot long dust bunny hanging from the window moldings in one spot. Who the heck knows how long that or any of the other obvious giant cobwebs have been left there. Lastly, I'm not sure they keep up on the maintenance with the Not-So-Great Hall. There were sections of wall that looked like they'd received 10 years of abuse from countless gatherings, with the paint scraped off and various shades of rubber deposited in its place, and were never repainted. Broken window treatments were also a common theme, especially in the side room that contains the lounge area, bridal suite, and bathrooms. Why am I going on about this in a google review? Because I am convinced that the wedding industry is one giant PsyOp. Wild Onion managed to censor our negative reviews on every wedding site, so no wonder literally every venue on those sites has a near-perfect rating. I also felt it was a huge waste of our time given how the space was portrayed versus how shockingly poor it is kept up. The mother of the bride, albeit jokingly, said that if we got married there she would be staying at home. Atmosphere: 1
