Love it!:
A friend of mine who had her rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception at Turkeyfoot Island Club last year had me read sarai's review listed below. We are both in disbelief. Sarai can't possibly be taking about the same club. I helped my friend plan her wedding and met with Joann the manager of Turkeyfoot Island Club many times. She was always as nice as could be. Acme Catering catered both events and they were great too. Sarai must have done something wrong not to receive her deposit back. Turkeyfoot Island Club is great.
No People Skills, Not worth the aesthetic:
Right on the lake, this is a quaint little spot for many an occasion. And to the Acme caterers credit, they were great. However, dealing with the Manager of the place, Joann Nunno, was not a pleasant experience at all. I booked a small wedding here (65 people) and it would have been an overall lovely experience if not for her. Clients beware. Her disposition was passive/aggressive throughout. From my initial contact with her she tried to turn me away as opposed to getting my business. In having to keep in touch with her, she makes you feel as though you are inconveniencing her as you have to pull teeth to get the appropriate information in going forth with your planning.
In meeting her the following day to clean up after our event she was barking, derogatory & looming, making us feel anxious & rushed. We followed procedures that we were told prior to, as well as offering to go above and beyond to help - she said everything was great but later she made sure our deposit was withheld which didn't make sense. We didn't do anything against or outside of the contract to warrant that.
The President of the place was then no help at all as she told the Board she was lied to. I was very respectful throughout and took great care to be extremely diplomatic in presenting a situation that was unsatisfactory. I have worked in customer service and sales of high end boutique Hotels on the east coast, and quite frankly, I'm insulted to have spent so much money and to be treated with such disdain. The President even said 'the place is not really meant for weddings, but for sit down dinners', so in that case, he should keep it as such and no advertising should be made for it otherwise. Save yourself the headache and don't bother with this place. Their smiles are a charade, they have no people skills here. They'll leave you feeling angry that you ever paid them a dime.
