We work at the Black Woods Event Center quite frequently and are a contributor to their wedding package. The team on site at the event center is great to work with and very responsive to communication.

Cotton Mansion Events was the perfect venue for our wedding. Kirsten was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process, answering all our questions promptly and going above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly on our big day. She was attentive to every detail, helping orchestrate the event flawlessly. The venue itself is breathtaking - a stunning historic mansion with vintage charm and rich architectural details that provided a spectacular backdrop. From the moment we toured Cotton Mansion we were smitten with its beauty and knew it was the ideal place to hold our ceremony and reception. We received so many compliments from guests on both the gorgeous venue and Kirsten's fantastic coordination and execution. We couldn't recommend Cotton Mansion Events more highly for couples seeking a vintage, elegant, one-of-a-kind wedding location with a consummate professional overseeing the event.
