Perfect spot for an elegant, timeless wedding

Highly recommend having your wedding at The Brown! From start to finish, Jodi, Cameron and Lucy were always available to answer our (many) questions over the several months of planning. The day itself went off without a hitch, allowing myself, my fiance and our families to just enjoy the day. The crystal ballroom is stunning (the carpet helps absorb a lot of the sound, helping the event not feel as loud) and the service is fantastic. I loved that we had multiple rooms plus the hallway on the second floor, allows your guests to spread out and chat with friends and family if they don't feel like dancing. Having my wedding here took a lot of the logistical stress out of our day. Happiest day of my life!

The best team ever

I am still on cloud 9 from my wedding held at The Brown. My wedding was everything I could dream of and then some. A large part of the success was due to their absolutely incredible wedding team. Jodi, Cameron, and Lucy truly made my dreams come true. I couldn’t imagine three better individuals to work with, from their professionalism, kindness, accomodation, flexibility, sense of humor, and all of the personal touches.

Jodi made us feel like our wedding was the only thing she was focused on. She was constantly in touch, responded promptly, was able to make everything work just the way we requested, and she even created a personal countdown for our wedding via email. These personal touches MATTER.

Beautiful venue and delicious food!

The beautiful historic hotel was a beautiful backdrop for our amazing wedding! And the food..... SO tasty! We got so many compliments on how beautiful it was and how delicious the food was! The tasting here was so wonderful that it was difficult to choose which courses to serve! The personnel were professional and kind. They helped make our day great too!
