Bridal shower brunch

My daughter really wanted breakfast foods and a mimosa bar for her shower. Bennett Curtis House was a great choice for this! The food was excellent. Everyone was helpful and professional. They were prompt in getting answers back to me with any questions I had.

The Staff worked with me from the time I approached them about hosting my wife's 50th Birthday Celebration! It was a great event thanks to their attention to detail and meeting my requests at each step. My thanks to them for helping to host an excellent celebration.

Outstanding!

The Bennet Curtis team was so easy to work with! We elected to do 3 stations at our wedding reception. The food was delicious and there was something for everyone. One of the fabulous ladies even searched for my husband and I during passed appetizers to make sure we didn’t miss out!

What a great historic place to have a wedding. We enjoy working there. Scott and Keri make it a pleasure to have a wedding there. The food the staff the serene atmosphere just wonderful. If your looking for a garden wedding this place is great, with backup of indoor reception. The indoors of the mansion brings you back to the days when elegance was the norm not having your reception in a big box. If your stressed about the wedding the B/C is one stop shopping with the "ULTIMATE PACKAGE" all you have to do is in one day say please take care of my wedding. They will.... from food tuxes cake and photography. Go there it's worth the drive!
