Amazing Venue!

Truly the most wonderful venue! The staff were excellent and kept everything stress free! The food is just out of this world. I wouldn’t change a thing; if you’re in the fence just book!

Fantastic venue!

Janet, their coordinator, was helpful, responsive, and very organized. She let us go in to decorate early on our wedding day. We had a very hot day so she allowed our guests to stay inside for the cocktail hour. The staff were attentive and extremely friendly. I heard from many guests how the drinks were great and the food was delicious. The grounds are absolutely beautiful - especially at night. There is a waterfall, fire pit, a fountain, garden, etc. Lots of variety for pictures and room to run around in for young guests. Thank you and highly recommend!

Look no where else

What can I say about Janet and her team at The Mansion!? Janet was always one email or phone call away, answered all of my questions and always gracious and kind. You can see/feel the excitement she has for you. Don't look anywhere else book this place, its beautiful outdoor garden space and then inside the hall where you have these beautiful wooden beams to eat and dance the night away. The day of our wedding Janet was there to help out in any way. Her staff were kind and had food out in a blink of an eye, passing appetizers and drinks. I wish I could do it all over again. Thank you so much for making our night (and planning) so magical.

Highly Recommend!

If you are an anxious bride who wants their day to be perfect, I highly suggest going with The Mansion at Bald Hill - their Event Manager, Janet was an absolute dream to work with! Her punctuality in email and phone responses, attention to detail throughout the planning experience, and passion for the wedding space was incredible. Having her manage the wedding on the day of let me sit back and enjoy the day with my loved ones. We loved that the venue provides so much flexibility for a ceremony either indoor or out, beautiful grounds to take photos, and a patio space for guests to enjoy the fresh air. We could not have had a better experience and would recommend this venue to anyone!

Wonderful Venue!

My wedding was at this venue on July 17th. I had very high hopes for The Mansion at Bald Hill since the first time I saw how beautiful it was in person! Not only did our wedding go so smoothly, it absolutely exceeded my expectations. Janet was there helping and facilitating every second of the way - with the littlest of jobs to ones more involved! I could not thank her and her staff enough for the hard work they put in for our rehearsal dinner and wedding the next day. The food The Mansion cooked and provided was delicious both nights. Everything went seamlessly from our point of view, even with the crazy rain shower and changing our ceremony spot last minute. Our wedding guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the entire night. The Mansion has a list of preferred vendors who were also super easy to work with and I would highly recommend as well. My husband and I would recommend The Mansion for any event!

Gorgeous venue

Exceptional in every way! Beautiful grounds and amazing hospitality. Between the gorgeous backdrop for our outdoor wedding ceremony to the beautiful outdoor patio with waterfalls and fire pits for the cocktail hour, the venue was just stunning. The reception with beautiful bar, high ceilings, and gorgeous woodworking helped make our night the best one ever.

Perfection

It was a dream to work with the Mansion at Bald Hill and our wedding day was perfect. We LOVED working with Janet! She was there to answer our every question during the planning process, as well as made both the rehearsal and the wedding itself run so smoothly. My husband and I have food sensitivities/allergies, and everyone there (both in the banquet hall and the Mansion restaurant itself) was very accommodating to our needs. We give them our highest recommendation.

Lovely Venue for a Vintage Garden-Chic Wedding

Planning: Janet was very responsive to my frequent emails and was incredibly flexible when we had to postpone our wedding due to covid-19.

Cost: Extremely reasonable food/beverage cost - our guests are still raving about the hors d'oeuvres and entrees (I didn't get to eat much, but it looked amazing!) Site cost included use of ceremony site and bridal suite for getting ready. Oh, and breakfast (the breakfast is delectable). We loved that there was no guest minimum.

Site: Gorgeous grounds. Beautiful English garden for ceremony, fountains and fire pit at night. Very quiet and private! So glad that there's only one wedding per day - we felt very well taken care of.

Overall: From the start, we knew that we would get married at the Mansion at Bald Hill. It's a beautiful location with superb service and value. We highly recommend!

Couldn’t be happier

We couldn’t have been happier with our reception at the Mansion. Janet from the beginning was professional, helpful, and reassuring as she guided us through our COVID wedding. They were extremely accommodating with a tent and bar outside during the pandemic. The outside amenities were perfect for our fall wedding. The staff were welcoming and polite, and the food really is out of this world! Highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
