Best Day Ever

Historic Ashland was the best wedding venue Matthew and I ever could have chosen! ❤️ When we were taking tours, we were looking for something timeless, classic, and unique with a view. :) The land was something that was important to my husband when choosing a venue, and HA does NOT disappoint when it comes to views! Their property is private and beautiful - overlooking a gorgeous field of green that makes you feel like you’re in a fairytale. The mature greenery and private land was a huge deal for both of us that really set HA apart from other venues! Not only is the outside of the venue gorgeous, but the mansion, lodge, and cottage are each BEAUTIFULLY restored and provided amazing photo opportunities for our first look and entire wedding day! The inside of each building is modern and sleek, but the original character and timeless touches were kept in tact when restoring them! Getting ready in the mansion was such a fun experience for me and my bridesmaids, and we loved how much space we had to do hair and makeup!
We also loved the indoor ceremony options HA offered, as our wedding in June was extremely hot (like 96 degrees) and we did not want to be sweating through the ceremony!! The lodge was the perfect indoor ceremony space - fully air conditioned, comfortable for our guests, and beautiful against the fireplace! We couldn’t have been happier.
Historic Ashland was the first venue we toured, and the perfect mix of Matthew and I. :) After touring several other venues that week, it was such an easy decision that HA was the one for us! Leah & Amanda made booking our wedding day simple too! They are organized and professional, and they made us feel like we were in good hands throughout the whole planning process! Meeting with them for a final timeline and seating chart overview helped ease my nerves about all the vendors being on the same page. They took the reigns to ensure everyone worked together to make our day run smoothly!! Leah, Amanda, & their team are the sweetest and were so much fun to work with. They made our day so special and we are grateful we chose HA. We still have friends and family tell us how beautiful our venue was. We will cherish our wedding day memories there forever ❤️ Thank you Leah, Amanda, & Team 🥰

The best day ever!

The best of the best! Our wedding was the best day of our lives thanks to all the staff at ashland. From our tour we knew right away that we were going to get married here. We worked with Leah, Amanda, and Courtney and all three were a dream team! We are so thankful for all their help!

10/10 venue with everything you could need

From the second we finished our tour at HA, we knew we wanted to have our wedding there. Leah (owner) and Amanda (our day of coordinator) were professional, communicative, and extremely helpful. The property is stunning - we had our wedding in late October which was right around peak fall color, but we've seen it in snow, in the spring, and in the summer and there is truly never a bad season. There are a variety of outdoor backdrops for pictures. I think the best thing about HA is the day of coordinator - Amanda made the actual day of our wedding so simple and stress free, we truly had nothing to worry about. We couldn't have picked a better place.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
