We had an incredible wedding weekend at the Mazant this past March. Everything about the place was beautiful, and our overall experience met all of our needs and exceeded all of our expectations. We had booked the Mazant sight unseen based upon a recommendation from our wedding planner, who had herself gotten married there. We weren't exactly sure how it would be in real life, and we are beyond grateful for her recommendation and that we took the leap! We rented the whole place for ourselves and for some of our wedding party to sleep there. We had 18 people (all adults with a mix of couples and friends) staying there, and it never felt crowded. Each room is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchen and overall common space layout is delightful and so well designed. They have everything you might need for large events (LOTS of fridge space). The pool and hot tub and outdoor seating areas are divine. On Friday night we hosted our welcome event (160 people) in the yard, and it was exactly what we envisioned. On Saturday we had our ceremony (170) in the yard, and it was also perfect. We had enough room for most people to sit, and about 20-30 standing in the back. We then second lined from the Mazant to our reception location. Interacting with Jeff the owner and Kevin the house manager was great - they were both super helpful, responsive, and organized. We are already talking about coming back and renting this space for friend or family trips!

THE FOOD! Our guests to this day says that the food was the best food they ever had at a wedding. WOW! The service? PHENOMENAL. Everyone had a smile on their face and they were so quick to help you. There is not a bad thing I could say about this place. My husband and I still reminisce about our day and we agree that it could not have been this good without The Parlor and it's staff. THANK YOU!

From the moment we started planning, the team at Margaret Place made everything feel seamless. Communication was always prompt, warm, and thorough — we never felt like a burden, even with plenty of questions. Their planning support genuinely set us at ease. The venue itself is a dream. Margaret Place delivers a rare combination of historic charm (it’s a beautifully restored 1854 Greek Revival mansion) with modern, event-ready amenities. The courtyard and indoor/outdoor layout gave us flexibility — for the ceremony, reception, mingling, dancing — and made decorating easy. The on-site bridal suite deserves special praise. Spacious, with beautiful natural light, a wet bar, and a relaxed vibe — it was the perfect place for our friends and me to get ready and soak in the anticipation before walking down the aisle. Finally, the inclusive nature of the venue made planning far less stressful: furniture, sound, lighting, cleanup, even flexible vendor-selection (besides the bar) were all either included or simplified. Choosing Margaret Place for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. It wasn’t just a “venue” — it felt like a partner in our celebration. Every detail, from communication to ambiance to execution, exceeded our expectations. If you want a wedding that feels effortless, beautiful, and uniquely yours — this is the place.
