BON DEA PRIVATE ESTATE-Overrated and Incompetent, Scammers

Negative Points ::::Very expensive and very overrated when it comes to delivering a professional service. Incompetent and lazy personal. Gives you the impression that these personal wedding organizers are there to help you, when in reality are only interested in your MONEY. 50 percent up front.. My daughter stressed and shocked 4 days before the wedding day when she arrived from Australia to finalize the wedding items , to find that the entire country side was burnt down. [The owner informed his staff to keep it quiet and not inform the clients{] How dishonest and disrespectful.] ,. Then She was to get name tags on tables as ,she was asked :"where are they?. No guidance of any form to assist as a wedding planner and so unpleasant...So Unprofessional. The Best men and Groom had no beveragers at Midday[Wedding starting at 16H00 and they were not cold when I requested them. R15,000.00 worth of beverages were paid up front. The Perspex arches with presumable flowers were to arch them, were non existent when she walked down the ilse very disappointing as that is what sold her in the choise of Venue.. which , later came crashing down. The DJ THEY HIRED refused to play her playlist and played his choice of Music which, was not out liking at all. The Grooms father was charged and billed cash to buy his own coke , as so were others as I discovered,when there was an open account at the bar for Ciders,wine and soft drinks early in the evening. THEY were ALL IN TO SCAM THE GUESTS FOR UNTRACEABLE CASH. Totally appalling.. I had bar tab check ups all through the night to see where our account was at...?? The rooms in the estate are so over priced . Sharing bathrooms ,light bulbs that go on and off during the night on there own. and Staff screaming at top of there voice the next morning at 08h00.. Positive : Beautiful out building to get prepared at, Has a nice view if its not burnt out But very misleading on their professionalism as wedding planners with empty promises and no real help and guidance... We were also not permitted to bring the classic car where we wanted the drop off and had to do it there way.. Whos wedding is it YOURS or Theirs.??? Very Disappointing for such a so called upper class Private estate. Stay away if you want Headaches.....and pay for them
