Baby Shower

I had my daughter-in-law's baby shower at the Bennett-Curtis House and it was amazing! I chose to do a 10 am shower with breakfast and omelette bar, and the food was delicious! It was set up so beautifully and my guests enjoyed it! The staff was wonderful to work with during the planning process and accommodated every one of my needs.

Plated dinner for 170

Scott went above and beyond!!! Food was hot and tasty! His staff was very professional and cleaned up everything when the event was over. He answered all texts and calls immediately. I would highly recommend Bennett Curtis house for your catering needs. He also supplied all glassware which was a lot. Bartenders were fast and efficient there was never a wait. I am very happy with his services.

Professional, Communicative, and Personable

Scott was incredibly professional, responsive, and thorough throughout the entire planning stage. On the day of the event, he was very personable and effectively communicated between everyone at all times to ensure everyone was on the same page. We could not have asked for a better venue, coordinator, or staff. The food and drinks were fantastic. Bar service was incredible. Everyone had a really great time, and we owe it all to Scott and The Bennett Curtis House staff.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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!
