Not handicapped accessible or workable for grandparents or other older relatives. No elevator and they have not added a foldable chair lift for the considerable stairs, so there was really no way to get around the space smoothly for a crowd. Unfortunate, because the setting is pretty. (If they update accessibility, we will come back to revise this review).

They also have a décor closet with leftover centerpieces, sequin runners, etc. that you can use, which saved us a lot of money! The food is AMAZING. We went with a 3 protein buffet (rotisserie chicken, roast beef carving station, salmon) with salad, rolls, and 2 sides. It was AMAZING-- easily the best wedding food I've ever had. Another bonus with TTOG is that they offer two day-of coordinators, which I couldn't have appreciated more. A few weeks before the wedding, we met with Emad to set a timeline for the night so that everything moved along smoothly as the night progressed. I dropped all my decor off (and a list of the ones I wanted to use from their supply) the week of the wedding, and they do all of the set up and tear down for us! Everything looked perfect the night of. We don't have a single complaint about the venue, Emad or Maggie, or the bar/serving staff. If anything went wrong, Emad or Maggie took care of it and we didn't notice a thing! For the price, they offered a lot more than any other venues downtown that we looked at, and came in at our projected budget. I cannot say enough nice things about TTOG and would 100% recommend them to another couple.

First of all, when the client contacted me and asked me to help with her daughter's wedding, I…read morereadily agreed. The Loose Mansion managers, Abbey and Loren, seemed to have an attitude issue. I wanted the wedding event to be just as memorable for the client as they... but they seemed to want to make things unnecessarily difficult. When I arrived at the scheduled time, neither Abbey nor Loren were there. No one else knew anything about any of the A/V equipment that Loose Mansion provides. Awhile later, Loren arrived. I introduced myself and was as pleasant as I could possibly be. Again, I received a "not so warm" reception. There was just a prevailing attitude of arrogance, entitlement and an unfriendliness. Because Loose Mansion was providing the video projector for the event, I asked Loren if we could plug my computer into the projector prior to the arrival of guests to make sure everything operated correctly. She told me that she probably wouldn't have time to allow me to test the hook-up because she was "so busy". I thought to myself "had you arrived at the time we had agreed upon, perhaps you would have had time to check important components like making sure the A/V would work." I was told that I would need to bring my own sound system and mics because they don't allow any "outsiders" to touch their equipment. So I came prepared with speakers, speaker stands, mixer, mics, and audio playback. As I was setting up the computer, I couldn't get the "Loose Mansion" WiFi network to work. I said something to Loren and she told me that I would have to connect to the "office network". The WiFi network was so ridiculously slow that no webpage would even load up. I thought that something must be wrong... so I connected to the network with my phone to check the speed there. Again, practically non-existent speed... so bad that nothing would work (see the screen caps from both my computer and my phone). I was afraid to say anything to Loren or ask her to reset her router for fear that I'd get another harsh response. So I just set up my own hotspot and used that. I finally did mention it to Loren and she said "Yes, it's very slow... we just tell people to download everything they need in advance." It seems ridiculous that a professional "event space" facility would have WiFi that is virtually of no use whatsoever. As the set-up for this very nice wedding event proceeded, I noticed that Loren was wearing a black skirt for the event, but with old green sneakers. I thought that she was just wearing these old green sneakers because they were comfortable during the set-up process, but surely she'd change into something more presentable for the wedding once guests started to arrive. Wrong! Later during the event, I overheard one guest mention her appearance to another guest... they were also surprised that management would allow an onsite manager to dress like this for a client's wedding event. They forgot to turn on the speakers for the ceremony, so if you were sitting in the room used for the ceremony, it sounded like all of the sound/music was coming from the room behind you (there were speakers in other rooms of the house). After the ceremony, as guests went for cocktails, we started to set up our gear for the after-dinner event. The "unused" Loose Mansion speakers were still sitting on the small stage... and when I asked Loren if we could move them aside so we could have room for our speakers, she said "No, we'll leave them right where they are!" Unbelievable! Another thing noticed was the fact that in order to lower the projection screen from the ceiling mount, Loren had to get a tall staffer who stood on top of a bucket or something and then used a plastic coat hanger to try to reach the bottom of the screen and pull it down. Tacky! My review is directed to other vendors/event planners. I've never had to deal with event space management who was NOT a team-player with the goal of wanting to create a stellar event by working TOGETHER with vendors. Instead, there was noticeable resistance. It's really too bad!

Our daughter and son-in-law recently had their wedding reception at Loose Mansion and we were…read moreextremely please with the event. We cannot recommend Loose Mansion highly enough. My wife and I were impressed and pleased with the professionalism of the staff and the preparation of the event space. The event manager, Loren, appeared to be everywhere and invisible at the same time, and the staff worked seamlessly with the outside vendors. Every guest that spoke to me about the venue mentioned how beautiful it is and how well everything ran. My wife and I also stayed in the Carriage House and that simplified and enhanced our experience. We love to take a morning walk, and the neighborhood was fun to explore too. One last item that I don't want to overlook is their process of event preparation. It seemed that every need, every eventuality, was anticipated and prepared for. On the front end, it seemed a little daunting, answering all those questions and choosing among so many options, but the payoff came at the reception. Everything ran smoothly and we were able to relax and enjoy our guests. The Loose Mansion team could not have been more thorough.

I am a family member that rented Wynbrick Mansion on Jun 29 for a baby shower. The inside is…read morebeautiful and the staff was very cordial and great to work with. THEY EVEN TOLD US MULTIPLE TIMES HOW NICE WE WERE TO WORK WITH. We also let them know how we appreciated their kindness. In reference to the reviews on various social media sites submitted by the owner, Sherri Stechmann on behalf of Wynbrick Mansion, the following review is related to our experience at Wynbrick Mansion, BASED ON FACT. It can also be backed up with the owner's video and our pictures and text messages which are included. (UPDATE: Yelp has removed her review however the information below still applies as she has placed slanderous statements on other social media sites) Facts below: Fact: Brianna Hernandez Marx did have a baby shower at Wynbrick Mansion on Saturday, Jun 29. Fact: The family arrived at the Wynbrick Mansion at 11:47, which is documented on timestamps and video of the owner. Fact: The outside of the facility was a complete mess, with yard waste all over the lot, a trailer of yard debris taking up parking spaces, a black type that guests had to step over, and a large pile of mulch outside the entrance. Fact: The family asked a male employee, at 11:50, to sweep the front entrance to look better for guest and ensure nothing was tracked in to the house. Fact: The male employee simply placed a broom on the front porch and inferred the customer should sweep. Fact: A family member did ask for the owners phone number and left a message for a return phone call. After that, he was busy helping us set up that he was unable to answer her phone call. Fact: At 12:00, when the family was allowed to enter, a male and female employee were standing inside the door. Upon entering, a family member stated to the male employee his disappointment with the condition of the outside of the facility and the fact he handed a broom to the customer to sweep. Note: The owner has continued to reference comments made to an "18 YO Latina women/employee" however she left a voicemail at 12:11 and text message at 12:30 stating her concern with someone asking the male (son) about the broom - not getting in anyone's personal space. Fact: The contracted family and many of the guests were hispanic. At no time, and all public posts and text messages will confirm, that no one stated the facility or owner was a racist. In fact, if you review all posts, you will see Sherri and the Wynbrick Mansion used the word first and all reference to "racist" actions. Fact: No adult, to include anyone associated with the contract and/or payment made comments about "suing" Sherri or the Wynbrick Mansion. Fact: At no time did the family ever ask for a discount. Fact: During the event, a guest did pass out due to the fact it was hot outside and inside the sunroom. Note: That as simply stated in a post from the mother-to-be in which Sherri immediately discounted the statement and stated it was fake. Fact: The family was aware that Sherri had a death in the family, prior to the second showing, and actually sent a faithful and sincere condolence to her though a text message. Fact: At no time, did Sherri or the Wynbrick Mansion offer an apology or any willingness to assist in resolving the concerns. For anyone reading the posts, you will see an extremely negative attack on the mom-to-be and the family who hosted the party. The owner has sent a text message to a family member stating she is telling new customers about all her slanderous statement. Unfortunately, the owner should've really watched her own video before she started her misrepresentation of the family - her customer. Please check the Photo section of the Wynbrick Mansion review for pictures to validate the facts above.
