Beautiful venue with professional staff.

I cannot say enough about Alisha Fox, she has been a pleasure to work with as we planned and executed our wedding event. She is knowledgeable, courteous and professional at all times. She was responsive to all my questions and was absolutely lovely in person.

Professional service, beautiful venue

We recently had a smaller wedding (72 guests) at Hagley with the ceremony and reception on-site at the Soda House. The day was perfect from start to finish! I worked closely with Alisha, the events manager, and couldn’t have done it without her and the on-site manager, Bob. The venue/building is beautiful for a wedding less than 100 guests with a great price point. I would absolutely recommend Hagley for your wedding!! Service and location is terrific!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Having photographed a few weddings at the Hagley Museum now, I can say their staff and venue are first class. The setting and grounds are absolutely beautiful, and the options as a photographer are seemingly endless. The grounds are so large they have a guide to help you around the grounds. The staff at the ceremony and reception sites really are terrific as well. There's great communication from the start, and they make sure we know about everything that's planned for that day.
