Barrow Mansion

I dealt with Jim Kellermann at Barrow Mansion. He gave me a tour of the place a few months ago and a term sheet with their pricing and what they offer. We decided to rent the front two rooms for the wedding service this past Saturday, and booked the space for 4 hours. We had a small service with 25 people in attendance, so the front room was perfect for that.

As a gay couple, we appreciated the fact that we were treated well and our follow up questions leading up to the event were responded to quickly. The florist came in and set up an arch with flowers, and our photographer took photos of us in front of the mansion and inside the building. We used the adjoining room for a celebratory toast and so our guests could mingle after the ceremony. Having the ceremony in an attractive historic building made the event more special. We brought our own sound system for the music on our playlist, and the wifi worked fine. The acoustics in the space are good.

The downtown location was convenient for our guests, some of whom came from Manhattan on the Path train, as the Grove St station is 2 blocks away. Other guests who drove were able to park nearby on the street or in a parking lot.

Jim from Barrow Mansion is incredibly helpful and was instrumental in making our day magical. He is extremely responsive, totally open to allowing us to customize our experience, and very accessible to allowing us to visit multiple times throughout the course of the planning process. We were able to hire a draping company to place white Viennese drapes around the main theater/ballroom and the parlor was perfect for the cocktail hour. The bowling alley was also a huge hit with our guests! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and strongly recommend Barrow Mansion as a venue to any other interested couples!
