A Dream Come True

All my life I've dreamed of what my wedding would be like and how perfect the day would be. Let me tell you. The Hartley House and Crystal Mustard exceeded my expectations and more for my wedding day. From the planning to the day of the wedding, every detail was covered and taken care of with exceptionally. Crystal took so much time to make sure we had everything we needed just the way we wanted. The planning was meticulous but easy. Crystal and her staff were wonderful as well as the vendors she uses. Everything is arranged in house which made the whole experience that much easier. The house has ample room for the bridal party to get ready in comfort and relax. The venue itself is gorgeous and makes a beautiful backdrop to the most romantic day of your life. I cannot recommend them enough!

A dream venue!

Hartley House is a dream wedding venue with a wonderful team!

Throughout the process, Crystal and Lisa always had our best interest at heart and helped with every aspect of our wedding. Every meeting was very intentional and organized because they truly cared about making our wedding a day we've always dreamed of.

Whenever we felt overwhelmed or unsure throughout planning, they both made us feel comfortable, reassured, and offered great advice when we faced difficult decisions.

We also want to give a shoutout to Natalie for stepping up when one of our photographers couldn't make it. She took it upon herself to take photos on her phone to make sure every moment was captured. She was so very helpful and attentive.

We are so thankful to Crystal, Lisa, and the rest of the Hartley House team for their kindness, attention to detail, and execution of our wedding day.

We could not recommend them more and wish we could relive it over and over again!

Best wedding venue!

My husband and I got married here in September, Crystal and her staff made the whole process a breeze. I received many compliments on the venue, set up and how well it was all put together. I truly could not have done it without them!

I recommend Hartley House to any and everyone looking for a venue! One of my good friends even booked her wedding for next year. We love Hartley House and will cherish all of the memories forever
