Exceeded every expectation in a venue!

While looking for a wedding venue, I always dreamed of having my wedding in my hometown, so it says A LOT on why we chose The Raymond Venue, which is about twenty minutes away from our hometown. From the moment we stepped foot on The Raymond's property, we were immediately shown their love and hospitality. This isn't just a wedding venue. This is a place filled with some of the most wonderful people you will ever meet that truly go out of their way to make sure your wedding day is perfect! On top of the amazing people who work there, this venue has everything you need. From a gorgeous bridal sweet for you and your girls to get ready in, to a cool and relaxed grooms suite for your guy and his friends, to an indoor/outdoor option, a something borrowed room that will help decorate your entire wedding, a bar service that takes care of everything and leaves you not having to stress about beverages, a gift shop with the CUTEST items, this venue has it all. The venue exceeded all expectations, but it was the staff of The Raymond Venue that I will always remember when I think back to our wedding day!

The Best Experience!

We could not have had a better experience at The Raymond. Claire was fabulous, both before, during and after the wedding. Even the smallest detail was taken care of and I was able to fully enjoy my daughter's wedding. They even had a list of preferred vendors to select from when we didn't know who to use. Those recommendations were also helpful and appreciated and did not steer us wrong. Without hesitation, I would recommend The Raymond for ANY event needs.

It's magical!

The Raymond Venue hosted my December wedding. It's hard to put into words how GORGEOUS the space is. Not to mention, the staff goes above and beyond to be kind and helpful. They truly put you at ease. The Bridal Suite is so lovely, with its plants, vintage sofa, chandelier, and pink neon sign. I was welcomed in by Tammie - who made sure the air was set, I knew what all The Bridal Suite had to offer. My husband got to hang out in The Bird Dog, which is basically a super swanky lounge just for the boys. We got AMAZING pictures just in these two getting ready spaces. We did our first look on The Cottage porch in the courtyard another great spot for photos. My vendors loved coming to The Raymond as they were welcomed in and helped if they needed to know where something was located. I know my photographer loved shooting here as she got some swoon worthy photos inside and all around The Raymond Venue grounds plus on The Raymond square. If you have not seen this place in person, you should schedule a tour to see what it's all about! I think you will be impressed.

Dream Location!!! Best kept secret

A magical place. Absolutely the most beautiful weddings I have ever been a part of . Such a unique venue. Charming, warm, photogenic, vintage meets- classic- meets perfect. I can’t recommend Yhe Raymond Venue enough. The staff was so kind and welcoming. The rooms for the bride and her party are so exquisitely decorated. I will want to take 100’s off photos. The separate building for the groom and his party is AMAZING! . you really just see this space to appreciate what I’m saying. .

The Raymond Venue

Out of all of the venues I have been to, The Raymond Venue has always stuck out to me for several reasons. They have their own staff present during set up and the event to ensure everything is taken care of. Other venues I have been to did not have that-it was just a space you rented. They are very nice, laid back, and personable. It is always a good time at The Raymond Venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
