You can't beat the Patrick Henry Ballroom! The venue is incredible from all the history to all the beautiful and elegant touches! You truly feel like you've created your dream wedding! My husband and I loved it and knew immediately after touring that it was the perfect venue! Seth, the manager is incredible to work with and super sweet! We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! It was definitely what we wanted for our special day!

Seth and his team are incredible! They took my vision and make it into something better than I imagined. His staff quickly turned my ceremony into the reception for 200 people in no time and it was beautiful! They are so easy to work with and very accommodating. The venue is absolutely stunning!

The great thing about the Patrick Henry is that it is so elegant and beautiful already that you do not need to spend much time/money decorating, which is one less thing to worry about when wedding planning! Also, working with Seth and Alric was great, too!

We had our wedding reception at the Patrick Henry Ballroom in May 2016. The room alone speaks for itself…I loved the classic beauty, the history, and the elegant details of the space that is so rare, but also the excellent customer service! Seth went above and beyond to make sure everything was just how we wanted it and to make sure that we didn’t have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. Not only that, but he was accessible and responsive. He even responded to a panicked email I sent him at midnight one night at 6am the next day when I had left my wedding shoes at the venue following a photo shoot. Also, Alric was phenomenal with set up. On the day before our wedding, when my table number chart wouldn't fit on the easel we had gotten, Alric made a stand out of a table they had and told me not to worry...iit looked beautiful! We truly got high quality customer service with the beautiful historical setting that is the Patrick Henry Ballroom.

We got married over Memorial Day weekend last year. I booked the Patrick Henry two years before, because I just knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. They were wonderful to work with and the entire day went smoothly. It was the perfect venue for our perfect day.

Had our ceremony and reception here on 9-20-14. It was absolutely perfect. We were a little worried about the idea of the flip from ceremony to reception but it was perfect. We stayed in the Governors suite. It was the perfect size for all of us girls to get ready in on the wedding day and it was so convenient.

Our photographer was from Arizona and he said out of the hundreds of weddings he has shot, this ballroom had the best lighting he had ever seen.

Highly recommended!
