I've been going to Katie for years. She does amazing blonde color! She was even able to fix my hair after an at-home bleaching experiment!

I wish I could give Colt and staff more than 5 stars. I had my wedding here on May 5 2024 and it was amazing. I knew it would be wonderful but it was so much more. My husband and I wanted a Brunch wedding and Colt made it happen. If anyone needs a place to have a party Jordan springs is the place!!!!!!!

Historic Jordan Springs gave us a fairytale wedding! Colt was fabulous in taking care of all our needs. He's clearly highly experienced! I don't have any regrets! It was truly magical! Make sure to sign up for the tasting!

I cannot recommend JS enough! Our wedding was Dec 17, 2022. Colt and the JS crew ensured everything ran smooth and really made our day stress free. We did the dream maker package which included ceremony,reception venue, photographer and DJ. Colt, the event coordinator provided us with a binder full of FAQs and bridal tips and tricks. In addition, he was very prompt answering all my questions that I sent in leading up to our wedding. The day of went incredibly smooth and was coordinated perfectly by Colt and crew. All my guests were incredibly impressed with the venue the day of and spoke highly of Colt and the staff at JS. I am truly grateful to have used them for our big day!

I am disappointed to be writing this review, but if there is someone who it can potentially help, I want to put it out there. Tl;dr: This venue refuses to offer contracts/invoices for their clients. Their offerings and packages seem fantastic, but without a written agreement, there is no promise of what is to be delivered and expectations. We reached out to Jordan Springs and were very impressed with the offerings they have and the price. They have great reviews on Yelp, The Knot, and other websites, so we decided to book a tour of the venue. The tour required the house tour rate of $16/person. We enjoyed the tour and got more information from the Events Director, from the standpoint of just getting the most basic offerings (venue and food/drink) and their all-inclusive package (venue, food/drink, photography, DJ, cake, and lighting). Offerings were stated on a handout we were given, and then he went through and wrote down all the pricing for the differing offerings on the back. After taking the time to think about our vision for our wedding, we reached out and asked to book Jordan Springs as our wedding venue. We picked a date and wanted to confirm the rate since we had inquired about a different day of the week. The Events Director gave us a rundown of the costs via email, but we did not receive a detailed invoice. We were told the next step was to lock in our date by paying the deposit. I asked if it would be possible to get an itemized list of everything included in the pricing before putting down our deposit since we just had the pricing written on a piece of paper. We were also told about additional offerings, via their online brochure and while on the tour, that we wanted to learn more about and have added to our package. I asked if we could begin building an invoice of what was included, as well as learn about optional add-ons. I figured even if prices were not solid for things next year, I could at least receive information. The Events Director sent a Sample Invoice and let me know that the salon for hair and makeup was a separate entity, but I did not receive any other information such as the salon name/point of contact/pricing. I was grateful that what I wanted was sent over, but disappointed that we did not have our own contract or invoice. I was also concerned because alcohol was a separate choice for your wedding, so I again expressed interest in us building our own invoice and making our choice for how we wanted to handle alcoholic beverages at our wedding. I shared that we would just feel more comfortable having a contract first, and then we would be happy to pay the deposit after review. I heard back from the Events Director, and he expressed that they were not able to plan the whole wedding in a single invoice, which I understand. However, I was just asking to have a breakdown of everything that could be included, on the invoice, and information on optional add-ons (pricing, points of contact - if applicable). He said it sounded like we were looking for a more "corporate entity" to host our wedding and said that Jordan Springs may not be the best fit. I responded, apologizing if my intentions were not clear, but clarifying what I was looking for, and offering feedback on utilizing invoices/contracts. I found this experience unfortunate, mainly due to the fact that the Events Director would not provide us with an invoice for our wedding or any sort of contract. I have read many websites and forums about couples not having contracts with wedding vendors, resulting in mismatched expectations. I do not understand how they do business without contracts, and now, looking deeper into their reviews, it appears others have experienced some upsetting situations because of it. Contracts are important to create a shared expectation around what is being delivered, and weddings indeed are a business transaction, so we chose to host our wedding elsewhere. I hope this review can prevent someone from potentially making a mistake and losing out on a deposit or otherwise having an unpleasant wedding experience.

My son got married here this past weekend. I can't say enough about Colt and his staff. Everything ran smoothly and on time. The food was delicious!! Gigi and Demetria did the make up and hair. They were beyond amazing and did on short notice after their hair and makeup place fell through. They all made it such a special wedding and went above and beyond. I really can't thank the entire staff enough!!

My wife and I got married here on June 15th, 2019. Colt was awesome. The venue was awesome. The food was awesome. The cake was awesome. Everything was awesome! I couldn't have asked for a better day to kick of our marriage. Colt was very attentive and always replied to our emails and questions within 24 hours. He also knows his stuff. Everything ran very smoothly. At first when we booked it, it did seem a bit expensive (we chose the dream maker package) however after going through the process it became evident that it was an economical choice and we ended up saving lots of money doing it this way....this package included food, choice of linens, choice of lighting, a DJ (who killed it btw), cake (which was delicious and designed exactly how we had wanted it thanks to colt), and photographer. I highly recommend this venue and Colt to all couples who are planning to get married in the area. It was a magical experience! -Chris

I can't speak on Katie but D is amazing! Hands down the best hair stylist in this area! I have super fine thin hair, she twirled her hair curler and Bobby pinned me into the perfect princess! If I had to rate how good I looks between a 1-10 with 10 being the best! I was a 12 on my wedding day..legit!

When I first met with Colt he asked my budget and I told him 10K, I had no idea he meant venue budget only and not my entire wedding budget, which 10K was my entire wedding budget. So when he said the budget was totally doable I paid my non refundable 2000 deposit. Then, he tells me they will match the cloth napkins to my wedding colors free of charge, when I told him i'd like khaki napkins to match the mens suits he tells me its the only color they can't do for free. So I decided to pay for them, this was before I'd realized my budget was blown out. I already had a florist, photographer, band, and pies. Then we talked food, 30/plate for pork chops and mashed potatoes. Being in the restaurant business for 15 years this threw me way off. So I questioned it and he informed me that it was so high to accomodate the kitchen/wait staff, makes perfect sense. Then, I notice another 2000 tacked on the my invoice... "Servicing fee"... Wait a minute? Thought the service was paid for in the cost of the food... Also, I was required to leave a tip (20%) I was so broke by the end of it I tipped him with my honey moon money (500). So I just paid 3 times for service. Not to mention, the food was TERRIBLE!!! All of my guests said it was awful and they didnt tell me until way later bc they felt bad. Also, I kinda wanted a dry wedding my family and friends are big drinkers and I knew I couldnt afford to pay for drinks and my husbands family is Christian non drinkers, they paid most of the wedding costs. Colt would not let me have a dry wedding, which I get, theyre not going to miss out on the opportunity to make money. On my wedding day the bartender (which I had to pay umpteen "servicing fees" for) could not handle it. So colt, who was supposed to be coordinating everything else then had to be bartender. Did I mention my husbands super traditional Christian family, bc Colt's outfit at my rehearsal dinner was extremely inappropriate, white linen pants that were too small, u could see everything. Another thing that bothered me was thru out the entire process he constantly tried to upsell me on their services. I get that but once I told him I have all my own vendor he should have been ready to accomodate them with open arms, instead he kept on mentioning how if I'd use his vendors it'd be better for this or that reason. I'm sure he makes an incentive. It was just a huge money pit and I could not afford to lose my 2000 deposit so we started our marriage with a $7000 debt we didn't need. I just wish he had told me I'm really sorry but our venue is way out of your price range. Or just be more specific when asking what the "budget" is... Bummed.
