I do not think that I could say enough good things about this place and about this venue. First, Lauren is one of the best humans on this planet and I hope every bride has someone like her if they are planning on doing all of the planning themselves. I chose the package Lauren offers where I got to have her as the "Day of Coordinator" and she was on top of EVERYTHING. Any question, any idea, and every anxiety I had over this past year about this day, I would even go to her. She would help talk me through everything I needed and made sure any of my extra ideas that she could arrange for me prior to the day of, she did. I think there is a responsibility on every brides end, to have a good understanding at what a venue has to offer when choosing one. There is also a responsibility for a bride to ask questions and make sure everyone is on the same page to make the day perfect. You cannot assume anything. If you are looking for a place that has great staff, the prettiest view and everything in between- I would highly recommend Bell Manor. My wedding day was better than I could have ever imagined, and I truly felt like I made a great friend in the process. Thank you again Lauren and Bell Manor! Love, Adam and Tiffany

At Bloomrose Hall, we have a passion for history. We believe that the beautiful Bloomrose church building, that was built in 1883, needs to be preserved and enjoyed for many years to come.

Bloomrose Hall was just what we were looking for for our wedding. The old church building is so cool and looked beautiful in our photos! I’m so happy that this venue was affordable and also allowed us to choose whichever vendors that we wanted. So many other places we looked at required you to use certain services or companies, but we didn’t like being forced to use certain caterers or decorators. We had a tight budget for our wedding and wanted to DIY a few aspects, like flowers and decor. We were so happy that they were so nice and easy to work with at Bloomrose Hall and gave us the freedom to create the wedding that we envisioned.

Darby House was a beautiful property to host our wedding. While their communication style was a bit slow, with emails typically taking 3-5 days to respond, the venue itself was perfect. My wedding coordinator, who was different than originally planned, was absolutely fantastic and made everything smooth and enjoyable. I never had to worry about a thing on our wedding day. The only downside was that I accidentally left a locket of my deceased brother on my bouquet at the venue, and when I emailed both my original coordinator and the florist provided by Darby House, I did not receive a response. Overall, though, Darby House provided a wonderful backdrop for our special day.
