Amazing experience!

We were absolutely thrilled with the professionalism of the staff and the beautiful atmosphere! The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and very helpful. The bartenders did a phenomenal job accommodating our guests. Our son’s wedding reception was a wonderful night I highly recommend this venue for any special occasion. We will be happy to book the Purple Iris again for our next important event!!!!!!!

The Best Wedding Venue in the Area

We held our daughter's wedding and reception at The Purple Iris last week and could not be more pleased. Tiffany and staff were very professional and so helpful. We made some adjustments last minute with no issues and even made some changes to standard menu options. The venue itself is gorgeous and has many options for ceremony location, all beautiful. We had a truly wonderful experience from start to finish! Thank you so much for making our daughter's day the best!

Amazing Venue!

The Purple Iris was a perfect place for our wedding and reception. Tiffany made the wedding planning process a breeze and the day of was even better than we hoped! We first visited the house a year before our wedding and fell in love with the location. The next day, we decided to have dinner at the resturant and to this day I think it is one of the best meals we have had! We immediately decided to book the venue. Tiffany was very helpful in every stage of the planning process and set up an excellent tasting to help us decide the final menu. The day of our wedding could not have gone any more smoothly. Tiffany and her mother checked in on us throughout the night to make sure we had something to eat and drink, and they boxed up leftover food to have after the event in the carriage house. I cannot thank them enough for making our wedding such a wonderful day. If you are looking for a wedding venue in the area, I highly recommend the Purple Iris!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
