The Muckenthaler Mansion is such a beautiful estate for both indoor & outdoor events. It offers wonderful Vintage Charm throughout. I have worked weddings as well as other private events at the Muck. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. I look forward to my next event at the Muck.

I absolutely loved working at the Muckenthaler Mansion. Not only is there team one of the best, but they are all polite, courteous and willing to help with whatever the occasion may be. I would recommend any of my clients to be married or hold their next event at the Muck! Duane is the best!! Prompt reply to email, takes pride in his work and is with his clients every step of the way.

Whether your event is large or small, Muckenthaler's grounds and ambience will guarantee a lovely, unique setting. Duane and Rick work hard to make sure your celebration is memorable and stress-free. The entire staff is dedicated, experienced and easy to work with.
