Beautiful multi purpose venue. Popular for weddings. They host the Citrus Blossom Festival on the grounds several times a year. Various vendors, some very unique. You can purchase beer and mimosas while wandering the grounds. Nice, peaceful place to enjoy some outdoor time Make sure to visit Curated Crafts and MayMays when you're there read more

Seriously could not have asked for a better experience! Carrie and Chris were very accommodating and flexible. They were always quick to respond to our questions and made planning our 500 guest event so much easier. Thank you EM!! 10/10! read more

A hidden historic home behind the museum in Redlands. There are three floors. Most rooms are on the second floor. There is so much detail to the walls - wallpaper and carved wood. The windows are draped with lace curtains. The exterior is also very colorful. I was amazed how large the property is. There is a glass house next to the house. There is also a large tented area that hold over a capacity of 300. I can see why this home is rented out for special occasions. There is a chapel onsite. There are also a couple of waterfalls. The garden has lampposts throughout. read more

We found this amazing place on Instagram! My friend and I decided to reach out to see if we could book this venue for our market. Chris and Carrie were absolutely amazing to work with and were able to guide and help us with everything to be able to book. We toured the venue and every turn we took into a new part of the venue was just as breathtaking as the last. The mansion is unique and historic. The courtyards are beyond what you can imagine!! Did I mention there is so much shade?!! It's beautiful here for weddings, parties, and even markets. We are beyond excited to host The Adventure Markets (@theadventuremarkets) here. read more

Wedding of my dreams!! I had always dreamed of having a romantic and elegant wedding. From the gardens and gazebos to the charming historic chapel and the majestic mansion, our evening was magical. The food was divine and the staff was dedicated to making our wedding special. The one stop shopping made the planning easy. My favorite moment was dancing with my husband under a canopy of twinkle lights in the Greenhouse. Thank you Edwards Mansion for making a dream come true read more

My son was married here last week. This is such an awesome venue, I can't say enough good things. Our coordinator, Robin, was friendly, professional and so very helpful! We used their recommended DJ and photographer and couldn't be happier with this choice. They each were friendly, professional and accommodating. Everything was done so well and helped enable the kids to have their vision of a perfect wedding!! read more

I went as a guest to a wedding. The set up was so nice. The facility and patio areas are clean and the gardens are beautiful. It made for a wonderful wedding. I will say that while the wedding was occurring, there were others on another part of the garden/patio that were taking a tour to plan their event. There was also another wedding that was ending and leaving. Not as private, but still beautiful. read more

My family visited here for a friends wedding and the venue was absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful fountains, a chapel, and the mansion has character. The night lights were beautiful as well as the gazebos. The staff were friendly and helpful from what I observed. I was in the wedding party so I had a closer view of the service level. A gal named Robin deserves recognition for her service. I can't speak to prove but I'd recommend. read more

Such a beautiful place to get married. We reserved the west gazebo and it felt so intimate and private. It was so shaded, fresh, green, and whimsical. Parking was so big and nice. The west gazebo was so nice that just a few flowers brought everything to life. Pastor Leon was also so nice and made our wedding just perfect. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful ceremony. read more

When I was a kid Edwards Mansion was an upscale somewhat formal restaurant. I remember this because my dad is cheap and I do not know why we came here but we took my grandparents from Missouri and my dad had a coronary when the bill came. Now it is mostly a venue for weddings and receptions and looking at the photos from the website it looks beautiful. I did notice the price for wedding is either $495 or $695 in the chapel or gazebo...can that be right? Even if it is without all the bells and whistles that is super cheap. www.edwardsmansion.com read more

I'll start out with the only problem that I encountered because that's what every bride to be really wants to know. This place is not very technologically efficient. That means that if you are planning a wedding/reception from a distance, you will want to have a local person helping you out. I have to give it 5 stars despite that because everything went so smoothly. I went with their cake provider but used my own florist. The cake was beautiful and also edible. What more could you want?! Their caterer was also more than acceptable. We used the beer, wine, and soda option for the bar...which is great for an afternoon affair. Also, it's nice that they have things on hand to purchase because somebody, namely me, forgot to buy a guest book. The DJ they use was OK. I asked for a mix of music that would not offend the older people at my reception. Apparently in DJ language this means, "I only want Sinatra." Then, I mentioned that I wished he play something a little newer so my friend asked him to. All you DJ's should know that, "don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me," is not a desirable song lyric for a wedding reception. I'll post some pictures that I think are appropriate here, but if you really want to see them all: http://amyromanek.com/usreception1.html http://amyromanek.com/usreception2.html http://amyromanek.com/usreception3.html read more

I went to a wedding there recently and it was one of the worst reception food I ever tasted. The bride & groom choose the vegetarian menu but even the vegetarians at our table considered it insulting. The mushroom stroganoff was just big chunks of mushroom in a cream sauce. We all were looking for the bed of noodles to accompany the sauce but no such luck. They also had a spinach dish that resembled baby food. The rest of the dish just included steamed vegies, salad & bread. We ended up going out afterwards to get some real food. The wedding took place outside in the evening but it was still very hot even with the swamp coolers that they had going. All the drinks were watered down since the ice all had melted into the lemonade. The pictures on their web site are deceiving. The wedding & the site did not look anything like the pictures portrayed on their web site. I could have endured the heat & the poor condition of the wedding but the food just put it over the top as one of the worst weddings I have ever attended. read more

My wife and I got married here a couple of weeks ago. Edward's Mansion has some beautiful outdoor venues that require almost no decorations. We only had 15 vases of flowers for decorations and everything still looked absolutely beautiful. The natural trees and scenery are stunning! Our wedding day had some weather precautions (it was possibly going to rain) but Edward's Mansion was on top of it, having a full backup plan setup for our ceremony and reception. Fortunately, the rain held off and we were able to have our wedding ceremony at the East Gazebo and reception in the Tea Garden as planned. The staff at Edward's Mansion were all professional and courteous. Robin was our wedding coordinator and very helpful during the rehearsal the day before. All the wait staff was attentive to us and our guests. The food was excellent (we had a bunch of different hors d'oeuvres in lieu of a sit down meal). Our wedding day simply couldn't have turned out better. Thanks to Edward's Mansion, a lot of the day before and day of wedding stressors were non existent. We would heartily recommend this venue to all engaged couples! read more

Came here for a wedding in February. Its off of the freeway but I mean, getting to the actual spot was kind of tricky since you have to go through a small alley? Im not sure if i would call it an alley but lets just say the place isn't sticking out like a sore thumb. Large parking area which is great. The location itself is pretty nice, lots of spots for great photo ops. read more

We celebrated my daughter's quinceañera this past Saturday in the East Pavillion and everything was amazing!! Beautiful table linens and chairs. Kerry and Liz were very helpful from beginning to end. They answered all my questions and concerns. Chris helped with last minute questions the day of. All guests were happy, the quinceañera and rest of our family had the best time. I was concerned about the mosquitoes that were there when we decorated the day before but Rodrigo and Alfonso assured us that the will take care of it and the next day there were no mosquitoes in sight!. Thank you guys for such a beautiful experience! read more

Perfect place for a gothic style wedding. That being said I knew I had to book this place regardless of what other reviewers had to say. If you want to be the only wedding party at the venue dont book a saturday. Our wedding was on a friday night in October 2016 near Halloween. And we were the only ones there. Pros. Great locations for photos. Very quiet area cant even tell the freeway is nearby. Bar drinks fairly priced but very strong. Cons. 1.We were going to have a surprise groom dance and wanted specific songs played and mixed at specific times of the songs and getting ahold of the house DJ was hard. He would not answer any of our messages until we contacted the main office to which he finally responded to us. 2. We wanted our 3 songs played for the entrance, bride song and exit. So I gave the piano sheet at the same time we made the final payment and they lost the sheets and didnt inform me until the rehersal. I had made specific comments on my song as it needed to be played slower than shown on the sheet and provided links to youtube videos on how it should be played and the pianist did not listen to my notes so as I walked down the aisle the song was rushed and I could hear mistakes. 3. We purchased candelabras and we couldnt even light them because the owners didnt want the wax burning through the tablecloths and scorching their old tables. Had it not been for the bowls we had with candles in them it would have been much darker inside the East Pavilion. I cannot comment on the food as I only ate a total of 2 bites as people kept coming to our table to congratulate us. We opted for supplying our own tableclothes as this venue charges for every thing possible. Ridiculous charges for the cake as well. We personally love the bakery that Edwards Mansion works with but in the end we didnt even know where the cake was at until we cut it. The bakery does not charge extra fees for the decorations BUT Edwards Mansion DOES so we had a plain and simple and forgetful cake. However the cake was delicious and we barely had any leftovers left not counting the top tier which they boxed up for us. In the end everyone had a lot of fun and the servers were very attentive to our guests. We still have people talking about our wedding a year and a half later read more

Attended here for my Sister In Laws wedding. The first and foremost thing I noted was that this place has been around a very long time. As I stepped through the grounds and was admiring the various locations in it, I overheard several older couples talking about how they were married here or came to see someone from their generation become married here. Overall this place a beautiful ambience. The only downside to it is it sort of felt like the Disneyland of Marriage. There were several marriages/receptions happening while visiting. The manor itself is old, rustic, and full of old school. It's very beautiful and will remind people of old victorian style homes. While wandering through the first floor I was able to find out that not only does this place do weddings and such but it's also has a few rooms people can spend the night in. That's where you can cue ghost stories. I'd be scared to spend the night in this place. It's straight up ghost story material. Speaking of ghost stories, apparently this place has a few of them. Thankfully I didn't hear about them until after I'd left but apparently the wife has gone into the changing room and placed her sisters wedding gown on the bed and hung hers on the back of the door and left. When she came back a few moments later she had found her sisters dress on the back of the door and her dress on the opposite side of the bed. Good times. Despite the ghost stories and hauntings, I would still recommend this place for weddings, anniversaries, etc. ...but the spend the night at your own risk. read more

We just got married here over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, on Saturday: West Gazebo and Greenhouse for the reception. It is a beautiful location. But..... We scheduled for a morning ceremony at 11.30, with the reception to follow. Because it was so early, we knew we needed to have access to dressing rooms and decorating at 9am. We mentioned this fact at every meeting with the venue, at least 6 time. Every time, we were told that the office would not open but we could track down the grounds keeper and he would open up the house for us. We were assured over and over, it would not be an issue, we would have access. We arrived on location at 9am, and no one can be found. The hairdresser/bride/maid of honor are all left standing outside, with no way to start dressing. The grounds had not yet been swept, so we could not decorate. Finally, someone arrives at just 10am, and the house is opened up, and the area starts to be cleaned. We go inside, but the bridal room is locked, and there is no power. Finally, we get access to room and power by 10:20 and now we only have 1 hour to get ready!!!! Our ceremony was delayed until 12:30, while the guest are getting impatient, and the staff seems to have no idea why we are running late. When confronted, the staff seemed to blame us for the timing problems, and acted politely put out that the pianist and kitchen would now have to be delayed. Fortunately, we were able to decorate the reception area the night before. But even then, there were problem. They had the tables set out incorrectly. We told them of the error, and how it needed to be resolved, and the coordinator Harriet didn't seem to believe us and had to run off to check the contract. After a few minutes, she came back and agreed, it was in the contract as we said, but they would now be short on table linens. And I had to convince her that what we wanted, was indeed the common layout for the room and the needed tables did exist. (Every time we visited the venue, the layout was the same as we specified.) As there was no other staff on site at the time, we located the extra tables and realigned the room ourselves. But now our cake table was gone. The groom ended up locating a cake table the next morning, and placing it himself. Apparently, no one actually reads the contracts, as a similar issue happened outside. We had ordered aisle markers, and when we asked where they were, she again had to dubiously check the contract. Yes, it was there, too. Once the wedding started, everything seemed to go well enough. But I am confounded by the idea that the wedding coordinator couldn't be bothered to arrive 1 hour earlier, or read the contract, in order to avert all the issues that we had. Especially considering we were the only event that entire day. read more

Me and my now wife had our wedding here. The turnout of the event was amazing the staff both before and during our wedding was amazing! It made our wedding day memorable. The food was amazing as well. We had the chicken fajitas and the Chile verde and both are amazing. Shall I mention drinks? Well this is the best place to buy your drinks cheap and delicious (alcohol). Now for the cake! It was delicious and satisfying really hit the sweet tooth. The florist from the Mansion is amazing as well our decor was beyond what we had expected. Really this place holds a spot in our hearts for the rest of our lives. read more

My wedding took place on June 26th 2009 and it was nearly perfect. Let me start by saying that Maureen is absolutely amazing! Her patience and willingness to work with me really put my mind at ease during the whole planning process. The entire staff at Edwards Mansion is very polite. The Pastor - I would recommend using your own pastor if you have one. He is a nice man but very long-winded. He had a few too many anecdotes during the ceremony and talked for nearly 17 minutes at the beginning. This didn't affect us much, but I'm sure the guests were becoming restless. The Florist - I have to say that Nina is one of the nicest people I dealt with while planning my wedding. Her attention to detail is amazing! She threw in so many things for free like my toss bouquet, endless flower petals, tulle, and miscellaneous decorations. She really listened to what I wanted and the flowers turned out perfect! I had mostly lavender roses for all of my decorations. The DJ - He has to be the best part of our reception! I could not believe how spot on he was with the music choice throughout the evening and he really brought a lot of extra excitement to the party. He was one of the vendors I wish I could have given a bigger tip to. Photography and Videography - I did not use the Edwards Mansion vendors for this because they were not very reputable. I went with The Photo Couple and Premiere Productions which I would recommend very highly to anyone. Food/Beverages - The food was delicious. We chose the lasagna due to its price being only $17/person including salad and bread. I didn't happen to eat on the day of but we were treated to a complimentary tasting session a few weeks before the wedding and it was very good. The bartender they provided was wonderful. He was very attentive and polite. The service staff was SUPERB! Although we chose buffet style serving and a cash bar, the servers brought food to myself and my husband along with a drink on the house from the bar. I was very impressed by this unexpected attention to detail. The Grounds - Beautifully manicured and tucked away very nicely from the freeway and surrounding noise. Plenty of parking. The new bathrooms by the East Pavilion are so adorable and very clean. The chapel is gorgeous, but we chose the East Lawn which was absolutely beautiful. The staff did forget to take down the Greek pillars and lattices in the East Pavilion, but I didn't notice one bit and they actually looked better than I thought they would. The bridal suite is so cute and even has a hot tub and a refrigerator. You can even bring your dress and other bridal things to keep in the room the day before so you don't have to worry about transporting them on the day of. Let me say that this venue is so reasonably priced for what you're getting. Your wedding is really a product of all the hard work and planning you put into it. If you do your research and are really sure on what you want, everything will be practically perfect. read more

Had our wedding here a month ago and had a couple hiccups but for the most part the wedding was beautiful! As a tip, do not use the bakery they refer you to. Also, this place had two other weddings going on at the same time and we had other guests in our area so do be aware of that. One of the wedding cordinators was in the chapel (which I had paid for) with all her stuff, and told me I couldn't roll out the aisle runner because it would get in her way? Beautiful venue. Great food. Horrible referrals. Horrible staff. Also, we stayed the night in the bridal suite which had no warm water (couldn't even shower together on our wedding night), no lights on deck, spa was filled with chlorine, and twice people tried to get into our room. I'd choose somewhere else. There's other beautiful venues out there with less the hassle. read more

For where Edwards Mansion is, geographically speaking, it's quite amazing the place looks as nice as it does...as GREEN as it does. When I was told I was going to a wedding in Redlands, I was expecting a ceremony done among orange groves with a reception in a conference room with peg-board walls. But the grounds at Edwards Mansion are really nice and is the only redeeming factor of this review. Anthony B's comment about being "The Disneyland of Marriage" is so spot on. It's seemed while we were there for one wedding, 2 or 3 other weddings were already taking place at the same time on other areas of the property. While I understand the idea business-wise of doing this (why waste one day doing one wedding when you can do 3 or 4 and make more money?), it takes away from the charm of the place...kind of makes you feel like cattle, get em in and get em out. But the biggest downer of this place is the reception food. HORRIBLE. Chicken done in some kind of cream sauce was dry and bland. I mean, when I go to a wedding, I look forward to the food. Shit, if the bride a groom decide to have In-N-Out cater their reception, I'm all for it! But bad reception food is the worst. And what kind of reception bar has Pepsi, not Coke? Seriously a rum and Coke should be just that...COKE NOT PEPSI. Edwards Mansion has a lot of charm that on the surface looks nice as a wedding venue, but when you take into consideration the "bad", there's much to be desired and improved upon. read more

The place is beautiful. We just had our wedding and reception here 3 weeks ago and it's perfect. The food is really good. The cake is amazing. Maureen is very accommodating to our requests, Robin made sure everything went well during the wedding ceremony and i must say DJ Cesar did a great job during our reception. Thank you Edwards Mansion for making our wedding memorable read more

We recently had our wedding there October 3, 2015. To start off they charge per person for EVERYTHING which is utterly ridiculous. I've worked in event planning and hospitality for over 10 years and the things they were charging for was extreme. To use the linen they had they wanted to charge you $6.50 per person! That made absolutely no sense at all. I went and purchased all my own linen for not even half of what I was going to be charged to use theirs. The day before our wedding we wanted to set up some things before so we would have enough time the day of to get ready. We asked them if it would be ok and they told us that we shouldn't. When we got to the venue for our rehearsal we saw other areas setup for their events the next day. They told us we would have enough time because there was no wedding before us or after us. We went to do a walk through of our area (The West Pavilion and The West Gazebo) and noticed alot of things. Broken lattice on the pavilion hanging off in the entrance way, dead birds and mice next to the gazebo and tent, blood spots under the gazebo. It's like they never clean or do any type of a walk thru of their premises. My mother had to call them and tell them everything they needed to fix before my wedding. The morning of the wedding my mother and I went to setup the gazebo and the dead bird was still there so we had to call them again. We hung up flowers and draping on the gazebo. After my wedding we left all of the decor up because they said there was not a wedding after ours. We were going to go retrieve the items after the reception. During the reception my mother walked over there because she thought she left something there and noticed that someone had tore all of the decor down and setup some other decorations. Our decorations were nowhere to be found. When we let the venue know about that they said that it was the people after our ceremony fault for tearing it down. Yet they told us there wouldn't be anything in that space after my ceremony. A few months before the wedding we asked the venue if they charge a cake cutting fee if we were to do a cupcake tower. They said they did which I feel is stupid because there isn't anything to cut and we would't be using any of their china. So since they said yes we figured we might as well do a wedding cake. My wedding cake was big enough to serve 120 people. We had around 85-90 people that actually showed up that day. After the wedding was over I found out from over half of my guests that they didn't even receive a piece of cake. When we called the venue to let them know that the cake was cut incorrectly because we should've had leftover cake they told us it wasn't their fault and wherever we purchased the cake it was their mistake for lying about how many it served. I was excited for the food because I heard that Edwards had really good food. When I received my plate the vegetables were cold and the lasagna wasn't too good. All I ate was the roll. After the reception I went to In n Out to get a burger. I just feel this venue needs to do a lot of cleaning up and remodeling slightly. They need to take better care of their grounds. They also need to take responsibility for what happened during the events. They wanted to take no responsibility or even so much as apologize for what happened to my things or my cake. The manager is horrible! I will say that the banquet staff, Ms. Judy and Ms. Harriett were very pleasant. I would not recommend this place unless you had to book last minute like we did because our other venue overbooked. read more

My sister got married here a few weeks ago. It was so romantic. There are bunches of beautiful trees, a few fountains, and the lighting was perfect in the gazebo for pictures (her wedding was in the early afternoon, so we were worried the light might be too harsh.) They also rang a bell after the ceremony which I thought was super cute. The Mansion is right off of the freeway so it's easy to get to, but is tucked back behind an orange grove so it feels quiet and lovely. I loved the intimate feeling of the space, but that there are plenty of cool places to explore and take pictures. There's tons of parking, and everything is handicap accessible. The staff who worked with us were super helpful, and we literally did not have a single freak out moment. Timing and organization were awesome. And dude. Their food and coffee was SO good. My one pro tip? Go inside the mansion and take pictures on the stairs (especially during the day). The wooden staircases and lighting is gorgeous. read more

Thank you Edwards Mansion. Everything was better than perfect! The Set Up crew had everything organized and cleaned in advance. They were overly helpful in every way. The grounds looked the best that I have ever seen. The wait staff were totally attentive. I felt like we were at a 5 Star venue. The food was excellent; I could not believe how large the portions were. All the guests kept making comments about the location. Most had never been to the Mansion. Thank you so much for all you did to help make my daughter's wedding the most memorable day of her life!!! read more

Edwards Mansion - Amazing Day! - Caterers Near Me - Redlands, California

First off, Edward's Mansion is one of those places that seem to have ceased to exist in most Southern California towns. You know, gorgeous old buildings that are taken care of and treated with respect instead of torn down and replaced with Baby Gap? That said, my cousin got married here about six years ago and it was beautiful. From the viewpoint of a guest, it ran very smoothly and there were no huge holes in service. read more

My wife and I were married here and had an amazing, seamless experience. The Mansion staff was on point with every detail we requested. The ceremony, the reception, the food and the bar exceeded our expectations. My wife was especially impressed. Our families had such a great experience that my sister also held her wedding at Edwards Mansion which was was another success down to every detail!! read more

My husband and I got married here April 25th 2009. It was very beautiful and I loved that they were an all inclusive business. It made the whole wedding process very easy. The food was great, and they had an available vendor for everything I wanted :) We literally just sat down with a consultant and said, I want this this this and this...and they made it happen. :) Vendors we used: DJ, Cake, Chocolate Fountain, Caterer, Bartender, Tables & Chairs, Linens Vendors we brought in: Pastor, Photographer, Centerpieces/Decor, Florist The only recommendation I would make would be to bring in your own DJ/Sound guy...the one they gave us was sub-par and seemed very unprepared for the size of the venue (people in the back couldn't hear). Out of all the vendors we did use, he was the only one that didn't meet expectations. Other than that, we had an unforgettable day and had a very tough time leaving the party! read more

Let's see how good my ol' memory is.... I came here for my 8th grade dance, a couple of dinners (do they have a restaurant here anymore?), and two and a half weddings. I count the half because my dad and I crashed another reception while waiting for my cousin's reception to start serving food. If I've ever learned anything from my dad, a thick, Eastern European accent will get you everywhere. Overall, it is a beautiful venue, especially for the IE. There are different places on the grounds for events, and the chapel is so charming (but tiny so church ceremonies will probably have to happen elsewhere). I haven't been here in a while, so hopefully it is the same as it is in my memory. It might be a bit dated though - check out the picture of the bride on the chapel and gazebos link on their website.... read more

A beautiful place... But the DJ had the music on so freaking LOUD!!! Like louder than standing front row at concert in Staples Center. A couple of people in the party I was in left with ringing/pained ears including myself. Also I think someone (not from our party) but a guest from another or I think it was one of the staff. But someone ran out of the restroom next to our tent smelling like weed. It looked like they had an apron on. That right there made the experience even worse. Congrats to the couple we witnessed getting married though :) If only the DJ turned the volume down to a "Safer" level for a small party, we would have enjoyed the whole night. Also if management could be so kind to check with each staff member and be sure none of them are smoking weed on the job? That would be lovely. Thank you!!! read more

I went here for my cousins wedding today. First coming in I could tell it was older. No doubting that what so ever. Lol. The flowers and other plants were very nice. One thing I did notice though in the out side garden patio area was that all the paper lanterns were smashed up. The only other thing I really have to "complain" about is that the reception area that had the heaters smelt like propane. I had a few other guest talking about their head hurting and what not. The staff couple be a little friendlier but theirs not to much you could of done about that. Overall I enjoyed my cousins wedding here but their was most definitely quite a few minor things that could have been added to, to make it a little bit better. Oh on a side note if your looking to have a big ole wedding this is not the place for you but a pretty family oriented wedding this could work out pretty well for you here. Overall good experience but not the best. read more

Being a minister...I can only review from one side. I did a wedding for a couple here and the venue is very cute and has the 'old style' look to it. Its a great little place for a small wedding. Plenty of parking. Its a little confusing at first....but then, any new place is. I asked the couple why they chose the place. They said they had looked around and it was the best place and fit their pocket book for the entire wedding. Lots of spots for photos. And if you are in town and have kids and want to kill time close by...its right next door to the Museum. They few staff I worked with seemed friendly and willing to help where they could. read more

I am a wedding officiant. I like the place if the wedding is on a Friday or Sunday. It's too crazy during Saturday. I have attend here as a guest and I found the food to be mediocre. For your pictures, beware you may have another bridal party behind you in the pictures or the location where you wanted to take pictures may be taken and you will have to wait your turn.

My husband and I had our beautiful wedding and reception here and everything turned out perfect! We had no problems whatsoever and we were so very happy in the end. The guests were all had a great time. So many people after the wedding had told us the food was amazing, which it was. I don't remember exactly what we ordered because we changed it too many times but it was chicken, a garden salad and rice pilaf. One regret is not getting seconds. The service was absolutely great, they were friendly and always smiling. The staff in the office were also very helpful throughout the entire year it took to plan the event they were always there to answer my questions and help me out when I needed assistance. And last but not least... the DJ. He was the cherry on top. He is honestly the number one reason everything flowed so nicely, we are an interracial couple and he played both types of music as 50/50 as best he could and everyone was having a good time and dancing and laughing. DJ Cesar was the best. Also the scenery was so beautiful, you don't need to purchase decorations or extra flowers because it's already so perfect. If you're even considering or thinking about having your wedding or special event here you would save yourself so much money and you should just stop looking. This place was perfect. read more

I have never had the need or want to review a place I have been to or worked with. My wedding was beautiful and everyone had a great time, the problem is the lack of communication and respect of what it means to actually have a wedding. They book way too many weddings in a day, trying to cash in any way they can. I have an issue when it comes to our wedding experience from the beginning. Judy who plans the weddings for the mansion failed to let my family know that our ceremony space had not just one but two weddings before ours at 7pm we were never told this till the day of when we came to set up both spaces. We were not able to set up the ceremony space till 6:20 pm. Because of this everyone involved was beyond irritated and stressed especially me. Judy that day told a family member of mine of the situation at hand, I wasn't addressed about it at all despite her seeing me on my wedding day she just walked away. My mother who had a beautiful dress on and hair done had to create and complete a ceremony space in under 30 minutes leaving her dress dirty which was very upsetting. With just one other helper my mother was able to pull of a miracle. Judy did not talk to me that day about any misunderstanding. I received no apology or ways of making any of it better for my family who had to deal with the mess she had created for us. If they were smart they would fire her and hire someone capable of emailing someone properly instead of having someone print out a email so she can respond to it. Communicating what the situation was from the get go would have definitely made me pick another day or another venue, but because of how money hungry they are they choose not to do the right thing and have maybe one wedding to two tops a day. They have no regard to what a wedding day should be and how to aid in executing it properly so stressful situations like this don't happen. The reason for three stars is due to the fact that everyone else involved from the Dj, to those serving our guests, the caterer, Chris, and the bartender were great. Hire a new coordinator and maybe reviews like this wouldn't be a thing. read more

This is to follow up my previous post. Now that I am post-wedding... My wedding was beautiful (though I was disappointed for reasons that had nothing to do with the mansion). The staff was super heplful- deal with Maureen whenever possible, she is the only one who knows what's going on- though Robin is very helpful too (she will find answers for you) . They allowed me to decprate my spaces as promised. The only bad things I could say about it were these: The food sucks. Not only could I have cooked better at home, but I could have gotten better food in a drive thru! the Tri Tip was good but it pissed me off to have forzen veggies and extra-dry previously frozen Chicken Kiev served to my guest. The catering staff was dumb.. My dad doesnt eat beef and when he asked for just chicken, the server said she couldnt do that then took his plate to the kitchen, scraped off the tri tipo and brought him back the tiny Kiev.. which was forzen inside. I kind of feel that for $3K for 50 ppl, we could have gotten fresh ingredients. Not Cool. Also, use your own DJ, the one I got was able to do everything I asked but read everyone's name wrong and ingnore the song list I gave him. He pronounced by husband's name wrong multiple times (Carter is that hard to remember).. Otherwise everything was great. read more

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! The owner Chris is extremely unprofessional and unorganized. Constant last minute changes and cancellations on their part. Just one example is we had the engagement suite rented over a year in advance for our wedding and we were notified a month before the wedding informing us the room was no longer avaliable. To top it off this was due to the owner just needing to hide a personal friend that was hiding out/on the run. (Words from Chris directly). Every time we contacted the venue, the receptionists seemed almost clueless to any of the reservations and would constantly forget details. They also assigned us a wedding coordinator that was supposed to be in contact weeks before the wedding but our first time seeing the coordinator was the day before the wedding. The wrong linens were supplied and they coordinator refused to help us organize the correct one. Constantly had to remind them to clean up different parts of the venue as well with bird poop and leaves/branches everywhere, and if it wasn't for our persistent it would have been just as dirty the day of the wedding. Just all in all extremely horrible business and customer management and I would NEVER recommend this place even to my worst enemies. Be warned. read more

Went to a wedding here last night and it was beautiful. They had a nice small chapel with tent type reception areas. It was a rainy night and it was just fine. Reception area was beautiful with lots of soft lighting and plenty of room. I think there was approximately 200 and there was plenty if room for more. It had a dance area and bathrooms that were close. Really nice venue. The mansion itself I assume was used for dressing areas. Beautiful grounds and plenty of parking read more
