The day of the wedding was awesome, but leading up to the wedding, getting ahold of them was exhausting. It wasn’t until I badgered them with calls and multiple emails that I would finally get answers. I think if you’re on a budget they’re perfect, but seriously plan your wedding 1.5/2 years out because it takes a life time to get decisions made.

Wow.. where do I even begin? Let me start by saying, we feel so honored to have had our wedding here at Charles Davis Mansion and we consider ourselves lucky to have met Bill (the owner) and his team (Kevin and Devon). From the very start of us considering Charles Davis Mansion as our wedding venue, Bill was incredibly attentive and responsive. Our messages were never ignored and he answered all our questions with clarity. Within a matter of hours from when we first reached out to him, we were able to swing by the mansion for a full tour. It is so evident how passionate Bill is about the mansion and its history. He made it clear that should we choose CDM as our wedding venue, they would do absolutely everything they could to make our day PERFECT. And they exceeded that by far. From setting up almost everything we would need for the rehearsal dinner and wedding, to providing a list of their preferred vendors, to adding small, thoughtful touches all around the house in preparation for our arrival. The amount of care and consideration they put forth was evident. Our guests went on and on about the shear beauty of the mansion and the back yard. Mrs. Magnolia and the hanging lights over the deck add such charm to the atmosphere. CDM provided all the linens, chairs, tables, the dance floor, the speaker system, the bar cart, some wedding decor, and tons of gorgeous china tucked away in the butler’s pantry. I can say that the mansion truly felt like home, and Bill and his team felt like family. You’d be blessed to have your wedding here.

God I don't even know where to begin. We started our planning and venue search 8 months before the date. Valle Vista was the first place, and the only one that we looked at. They had every single little thing we wanted, and infinitely much more that we never would have thought of. The different appointments throughout the process and the purposes they served, such as selecting the cake and choosing runners for tables, or finalizing how everything will be looking for the big day. They were there with us every single step of the way. On our day, Amelia was an absolute gem to everyone, including the ushers, bridal parties, and guests on absolutely everything and anything to make the event function smoothly. There's no words to describe her and the staff's work other than being a truly well oiled machine. The food and cake was exceptional and all the guests loved it. It's impossible to put into words how incredible the whole day was, and I wish I could put it all into this small review. Not a single bad thing was said about anything by anyone all night, and rather they all had such a one of a kind time. None of this would have been possible without choosing Valle Vista. Truly an 11/10 pick. Thank you from the bottoms our heart for the best night ever. -Winters Wedding

Sarah was so wondering the day before and the day of. Any questions we had she’s readily available.
