My fairy tail come true

Better than I could have ever dreamed of! Miriam is absolutely amazing and walked me through each process with recommendations and answered my questions any time of day. Steve is beyond words! He was our maître d’ and I was absolutely blown away. We felt like royalty on our wedding day. Anything we needed, our entire timeline, helping with my dress, legitimately anything that could have been a worry was taken care of by Steve or Sam our bridal attendant. We are forever grateful for the entire staff at the Bourne Mansion not only for making our night the best wedding I could have ever imagined but for being able to work with such incredible people that I will never forget in my lifetime. Book your wedding here!

Amazing Experience!

We had our wedding at the Bourne Mansion, and it was an absolutely stunning venue. The beautiful outdoor ceremony and the grand ballroom for the reception created the perfect setting for our dream wedding. The staff was incredible, and the food was superb. Everyone raved about the many options during the cocktail hour, making it a highlight of the evening.

Miriam, the director of sales, was fantastic. She answered all our questions and provided excellent recommendations. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, she consistently responded promptly, helping us feel confident and well-prepared.

Steve was the Maitre D’, and he did an outstanding job ensuring everything ran smoothly and timely throughout the day. He took his responsibilities very seriously and worked hard to ensure we had the perfect night. Steve provided helpful advice and helped us resolve any issues that arose, both big and small.

Overall, the Bourne Mansion exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue.

My dream wedding day!

I cannot put into words how amazing it was to work with each person at the Bourne mansion. We got married on June 7, 2024 and the day was an absolute dream. From the day we met Miriam, she assured us that our wedding day was going to be spectacular, and it was that and MORE! She was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the planning process, answering any and all questions. She always led us in the right direction and had the best recommendations! Steve was our Maitre D, and he was absolutely incredible. He ensured that the schedule was followed and assisted each and every step of the way. He was very organized and not a beat was missed! Him and the bridal attendant worked so well with myself, my family, and bridal party so well the night of the wedding, i could not have asked for it to be run any smoother!

Our experience with the Bourne mansion was absolutely incredible, and I wouldn’t change a single thing! From the first day i ever walked into the Bourne mansion for my first appointment with Miriam, to the end of my wedding night, was such a pleasure with the Bourne Mansion team. MY DREAM WEDDING!!!
