The Best Day

For our wedding we wanted an affordable venue with rustic charm. Historic Ann’s is just that and more! Julie and Ellen were extremely helpful with organization and they were simply wonderful to work with. The venue has so many resources available and plenty of space. The indoor and outdoor areas provide plenty of spaces for the guests. Julie also has a list of vendors that have worked with them before-that was extremely helpful as we did not have to worry about directing multiple vendors the day of. If you want your wedding to be a historic moment-be sure to choose Historic Ann’s!

Perfect space for our wedding!

We are so glad we decided to get married at Historic Ann’s. The hosts are friendly and communicative, and happy to answer any questions.
The space is absolutely beautiful and very enchanting. We were able to decorate to match our theme & vision for the event, which made things even more special.
Having the different areas available helped to keep the party moving, provide spaces to rest from dancing, and gather in areas away from the music so you can talk.
It was also nice to be able to rent the Airbnb’s so we didn’t have to worry about where we were staying those nights.

The perfect venue

The entire process was a joy. The venue is beautiful. Jill is an absolute dream to work with. I would book this venue a thousand times over. It was absolutely perfect! The entire time we were there everyone at the wedding was talking about how nice the house and outdoor area. Being able to stay onsite was extremely helpful. We didn’t feel rushed. 100/100

Perfect Wedding weekend

We chose this based on the fact our family was able to stay on site. Perfect place. It is in downtown Union City so there are neighbors. The home has the perfect historic feel. The owner and on site manager were easily accessible but not hovering. Linens, tables, chairs, ICE, and many extras were included making it even more affordable. (glassware, easels, chargers, big tea dispensers, serving platters, blue tooth sound system, fire pit, stylist chairs, jiffy steamer)

Cortteaira’s Review

My husband and I absolutely love this Venue. It is very beautiful, and has amazing owners. We had our wedding here in 2021, and also booked it again for our baby shower two years later.
Everyone that attended both events couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful the venue was. I would highly recommend for you to book with Julie Hill for all your events.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
