“*Disclaimer* We used Lionscrest right before they were sold to Wedgewood. Our experience with Lionscrest was fantastic - it's an unbeatable venue and we really appreciated the team there. I never had any doubts or stresses about the venue's preparedness for our wedding because they were always so prepared for all of our meetings and we heard good feedback from every vendor we worked with (most of whom were very familiar with Lionscrest). They provided us with a day-of coordinator, Tatiana, who was an actual superstar and made it all run so smoothly. I never heard of any drama or problems happening the whole time - she was very conscientious and amazing. We also did their inclusive package which allowed us to narrow down our vendors and gave us confidence that everyone was reliable and vetted. The cost was definitely worth it, because we saw so many other venues that honestly weren't as nice but were as expensive or more! We absolutely recommend Lionscrest and wouldn't change anything.”

“We had the absolute wedding of our dreams at Flagstaff House — truly a fairy tale come to life, and somehow even better than we imagined. From the moment we began working with Annie, we knew we were in the best hands. She was warm, responsive, incredibly organized, and always ready with thoughtful solutions. She made every step of planning feel seamless, and her calm, confident presence allowed us to truly enjoy the process and the day itself. The staff at Flagstaff House was just as exceptional — attentive, kind, and effortlessly professional. Our guests felt so well cared for, and we received compliment after compliment about the level of service throughout the evening. And the food… absolutely impeccable. Every dish was executed to perfection — flavorful, artfully presented, and reflective of the high standard Flagstaff House is known for. The venue itself is nothing short of magical. With its stunning views and intimate elegance, it provided the most breathtaking backdrop for our celebration. We’re still floating from how perfect the day was — and that’s entirely thanks to Annie, her team, and the beauty and excellence that is Flagstaff House. We are forever grateful.”

Besides both being huge football fans, CU was also very near and dear to our hearts because it was the place that originally brought us together. The views from the rooftop are absolutely breathtaking and the staff worked hard to make sure everything was exactly the way we asked and planned for. I love being able to look back at our wedding day and appreciate how unique our experience was. This venue is a must see!”

I encourage you to book this place for upcoming weddings or events. The venue is even more beautiful in person compared with the photos. Planning: GBI team was incredibly detailed and caring about the nuances of planning our event. When we'd come with a suggested plan, they were very engaged in providing strategic recommendations to make it run as smoothly as possible. Property/Grounds: The property is stunning. We received endless compliments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony site, cocktail hour location, and dining room were. You really feel like you're in a magical oasis. Food & Drink: The food is a highlight of this venue since they are a fine dining restaurant! The appetizers were a hit, especially the mini beef wellingtons. People loved the cupcakes, even though I didn't get the chance to try it!
