Prospect House was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was clear, honest, and extremely responsive - they made the planning process so easy. On the day of, the venue itself was clean, cozy, and incredibly inviting. The team went above and beyond, providing complimentary drinks in the getting ready room, checking in throughout the day to see if we needed anything, and even helping us unload and load all of our decor. The quiet outdoor space gave us a chance to step away from the chaos and really take a moment to reflect on our special day.
