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!

Best and Easiest Wedding

Even though I never thought I'd plan a wedding, my now wife told me to do it because she was too busy focusing on her education. Barr Mansion's staff quickly allowed us to book and assigned us a "Day-Of" coordinator Molly. Before the event, Molly met with us multiple times, answered questions, drafted outlines, and made sure we had rock solid plans. Additionally, she independently worked with each of our vendors and even brought to my attention a few miscommunications/errors (on my part) in the plan. During the event, the Barr Mansion staff, including Molly, made sure all things went off without a hitch. Weirdly enough, I never knew where Molly was until I needed her support on something. Many of our guests let me know the staff was incredible as well. Between the Barr Mansion support, Molly's support, and Barr Mansion's recommended vendor list, I could not imagine an easier wedding to plan. Lastly, many of my guests and most importantly my wife said that it was their favorite wedding they have ever been to.
