Simply put, there is no better place to get married than the Van Dusen Mansion. The venue itself is stunning, seamlessly incorporating the beauty of the historic mansion that brought our vision of an elegant wedding day to life, with the natural immersion of the courtyard to deliver an unforgettable ceremony, with a perfect ballroom for dinner and carriage house for the party. The staff are incredible to work with- they're experts for a reason.
Gorgeous Venue!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at The Van Dusen Mansion, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for us. The mansion is absolutely stunning, and the team’s professionalism made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. After placing our deposit, we received a clear and detailed planning timeline, which the team stuck to from beginning to end. Monica, the venue director, was incredibly responsive and genuinely excited to work with us. We were planning a hybrid cultural wedding, which can sometimes be daunting for vendors, but Monica embraced it wholeheartedly and made us feel supported every step of the way. We also appreciated the flexibility of being able to tour the venue multiple times without any pushback. By the time our wedding day arrived, it truly felt like we were inviting guests into our own home. One thing to note: the venue requires that the get-ready rooms be cleaned out before the ceremony begins. This was a bit inconvenient as things got hectic, and we recommend couples assign someone specifically to manage that, as we did lose track of a few personal items after the event. The only other downside is that you're required to use their exclusive catering partner, Mintahoe (we've left a separate review for them). Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The Van Dusen Mansion is a stunning venue with a fantastic team, and we’re so grateful to have celebrated our special day there! Photo cred: @storytellercoweddings
Highly recommend!

Our wedding at the Van Dusen was absolutely spectacular! From our initial tour, to our planning meetings, and the day of, everyone we worked with was the epitome of professional, responsive, and knowledgable. Monica answered our questions periodically as we went along through the planning process and was incredibly thorough. I was planning my wedding remotely from NYC, and this would not have been possible without her excellent guidance. I felt very at ease when at the last planning meeting with Monica, she knew exactly how we wanted things and our specifications for various parts of the evening without any prompting. Our day of coordinator was Shelly and she was also incredible. I was initially nervous having a day of coordinator that I had not yet met, but I can’t emphasize what an amazing job she did! She was so on top of everything on the day of and seamlessly coordinated the vendors, wedding party, and calmly addressed any hiccups during the day without causing alarm. I did not hire a planner for our wedding, and I truly did not need one with the level of support and coordination that the Van Dusen provided. On the day of our wedding, my vision was executed perfectly. I had family members assigned to do various set up tasks, and they would go to do them and they were already completed by the Van Dusen staff! The attention to detail blew me away. I would highly recommend getting married at the Van Dusen, especially if you are looking for an all in one venue that will allow you to forego the wedding planner and spend that money on something else more fun!
Magical venue for wedding any time of the year

Getting married at The Van Dusen was magical. They help you through the whole planning process, provide advice on vendors, timeline. Not to mention the day of coordinator helps make your day perfect. The getting ready space is fantastic. We could not have had a better day!
