Great Wedding Venue

Barr did a wonderful job for our wedding that was in early March. Throughout the entire planning process everyone who assisted was very responsive, helpful and patient with our many questions. On the day of the wedding everyone at Barr was upbeat and very organized. As far as I know our coordinator didn't have any issues with deliveries or set up and I can't express how nice it is to glide through your wedding day knowing that all has gone according to plan.

The dinner was awesome! We personally loved every course and our guests are still telling us how delicious it was. I will admit we were a little nervous since we hadn't tried any of the items we selected at our tasting since it was held in a different season than our wedding date, but all were fabulous.

Our guest were also super impressed with the bar staff. They brought the BEST energy. We had a heavy drinking crowd and everyone who attended raved about how much the bartenders hustled. We had so many people talk about how cool the bartenders were, we wanted a party wedding and could not have achieved it without their hype.

Hire Molly Mullaly!

Barr Mansion is a stunning venue to have a wedding at. However, our special day was the best day ever thanks to our day of coordinator, who became our full blown wedding planner, Molly Mullaly. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was running smoothly on our day, and leading up to our wedding day she guided us with the best vendors and made sure we were all prepared with everything needed. She is a natural at what she does and is so professional, but at the same time makes you feel like she's known you forever. I am so thankful to have had her by my side on our wedding day, because she truly is the reason it was the best day ever. I even gave her a speech at the wedding to let her know how much we appreciated everything she did. She is truly the best!
