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

As soon as we toured, we immediately felt like it was where our wedding would take place. Having the entire space for the entire day was fantastic. The bridal suite had more than enough space for me and all of my ladies (along with all of our things). The staff was beyond friendly and both Justin and Kristine made us feel completely at ease the entire time. We loved that their team handled all the setup (and tear down), executing my vision to a level beyond my hopes. There wasn't a candle or a flower out of place. Also, their sound system is unmatched.
