“We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than Beverly Mansion! From the moment we toured it, we knew it was something special, and it truly exceeded every expectation on our wedding day. Nick and Faith were absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire process. They were incredibly helpful, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. Having a team like them made the planning process so much less stressful, and we always felt like we were in great hands. The venue itself is absolutely magical. It is breathtakingly beautiful, and every space feels thoughtfully designed. We had around 200 guests, and there was more than enough room for our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, dancing, and everything in between without ever feeling crowded. We received so many compliments from our guests about how gorgeous the venue was. People are still talking about it!

“Brookshire caught our attention when searching for venues for their beautiful ceremony outdoor space and the all inclusive aspects of the venue. Both of those impressed us throughout the whole wedding planning process and afterwards when seeing our wedding photos. Kira was our amazing coordinator through Brookshire and she was very easy to communicate with and helped us plan the details for our big day. Leading up to it and on the day of we felt confident that with her and the staff everything would run smoothly. With Brookshire being all-inclusive it was very easy to pick out the details we wanted regarding cake, centerpieces, linens, food/drink, dj and more because Brookshire had all of those vendors booked for us. We just got to tell each vendor our ideas and then they took care of the work making it come to life at Brookshire. We were glad we could also bring some personal touches into Brookshire and have the coordinators help us arrange those. All of our guests were impressed with the food quality, the outdoor and indoor space along with the smoothness of how the wedding day ran. We truly got to enjoy our day as Brookshire was very organized and made sure our day was just how we wanted it to be. Thank you for the attention to detail, open communication and great staff making it our best day ever!”

“The venue itself is stunning. The mansion is beautiful and well maintained with so much history throughout the space. The gardens and yards are magical and was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and celebration. The whole venue is tucked behind trees making it feel perfectly isolated from the world outside, like you are in a separate fairytale world. On top of the venue being beautiful the staff was attentive and thorough. There was not a single thing that my family or I had to worry about on the day of. Our decor was set out beautifully and everything was organized, packed up, and loaded into our cars for us to take home at the end of the night. The entire Dempsey staff was caring and attentive to my husband and I as well as all our loved ones. Lisa, the venue manager, has many years of experience and it shows in how she runs the Dempsey. She is prompt and handles anything that a wedding might throw her way. Most of our vendors we booked came recommended by Lisa (Kelly - day of coordinator, Matt with Seamless Sounds- DJ, Hudson’s Edge - caterer, O&B on the Go - bartenders) and we had the absolute best team of vendors for our day all thanks to her advice. Our entire wedding day my husband and I were able to be fully present and enjoy our day together because we knew we were in good hands with the entire Dempsey team.”
