Fantastic venue!

When trying to find a place to book our wedding, we were quickly becoming demotivated due to venues either not responding or were way outside of our price range. Elaine was an absolute joy to work with, and was extremely helpful in offering suggestions when we were not sure where to proceed with certain items. All in all, a positive experience!

Elaine and Taylor are amazing

The governor hill mansion was an amazing place to have a wedding. The historical building is beautiful and Elaine and Taylor helped plan and coordinate to make sure everything ran smoothly. You cannot beat the price either!

Our Wedding was absolutely amazing thanks to Eileen & her staff!! The mansion is gorgeous & very well kept so we barely had to decorate besides centerpieces, etc. They take care of everything from setting up, cooking, coordinating, cleaning up...it’s really perfect because the bridal party & families can enjoy themselves!
