My mom and future mother in-law hosted my bridal shower here a few weeks back. I cannot express how incredible the whole team was. Lexi was wonderful to work with leading up to the event and helping with the room layout. The entire staff was attentive and so kind. We did a brunch with an open bar, the bar tenders were quick and the food was all fantastic. Such a perfect space for a private event!

Got married here 5/11/24, the staff was very attentive, food was amazing, and the mansion was so beautiful. The 2 hours before the ceremony were chaotic since rain was on and off and we were unsure if an outdoor ceremony would happen or not. 10 minutes before the ceremony started staff ran out wiped all the chairs, and were able to make it happen! Received tons of compliments on the beauty of the venue, and how delicious the food was. 4/5 stars just because at the end of the night we were pushed out faster than our allowed 30minutes, the manager was literally locking doors as people were walking out of them, and we got a couple complaints about the bar staff. Besides that it was all amazing

Linens, cloth napkins, flatware, china and glassware are also included. The catering for all functions is provided by Royal Scot and they do a wonderful job.

I could not say enough good things about the community house. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and Tim and Kassie went above and beyond to ensure that was the case. We had such an easy time planning primarily because we didn’t have to have to search for a ton of vendors. The community house had all the big things included. The food was delicious as was our cake (both thanks to the community house). Everyone agreed the venue was beautiful and the food was delicious!
