Wedding in Bossler mansion
From our first contact, the team at Bossler Mansion made us feel welcomed with their polite and friendly approach, responding to our questions quickly throughout the planning process. The venue itself transported us to another world—walking through those doors felt like stepping into a fairytale, and we finally got to live out the royal experience we'd dreamed about since childhood. Every detail of the space screamed elegance and romance, from the ornate architecture to the lighting that made us feel like we were dressed up as Victorian royalty. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how special the atmosphere made them feel, and honestly, we felt like princesses and gentlemen the entire night. If you're looking for a venue that delivers that magical, romantic experience where you can dress up and feel like nobility, Bossler Mansion is the place to make it happen. We couldn't have asked for a better backdrop to celebrate our love.

My husband and I got married at the Bossler Mansion in fall 2026. The house is just as gorgeous as the photos and served as the perfect backdrop for our small, intimate wedding. We and our guests loved the house! The cherry on top is how amazing Alona is! She was incredibly kind throughout the entire wedding planning process. We planned our wedding from another state. She gave us a tour of the house over FaceTime, and gave us photos of the venue so we knew what the expect. She was there the entire time to make sure we had what we needed. The Bossler will always be a special place for us. Thank you, Alona, for a wonderful and memorable experience!

What a wonderful venue! The architecture is magnificent being built in 1869. You don’t see character like this in a venue. I highly recommend taking a look at Bossler!
