Our ideal choice for our wedding day

We looked at several venues - all attractive, all well-staffed, all with amenities - but we chose the Richardson, as their accommodating nature, incredibly personable staff, and eye-catching renovations made this out top choice.

Erin was our guide, and she brought her knowledge of the history of the hotel along with her empathy to a new couple and what they are going through. Her expertise really helped ease our stress over the gravity of our choice, and she handled our tour around another event with seeming ease. We loved how we were the focus of her attention, while she still made our families feel not just included, but important.

We could actually picture our wedding set among the ambiance and architecture, and the Richardson stood out above the others in that regard. We can't wait to work with the professionals here in the months ahead and we have absolute faith that our wedding's venue could not be better.

Look no further!

My fiancé and I have just booked our wedding at the Richardson Hotel and we could not be more excited! After seeing multiple other venues, we had a vision for how we wanted our big day to look, and the Richardson Hotel crossed off everything and more.

Scheduling a tour of the venue was a quick and seamless process. We met with Erin and she was incredibly positive, thorough, and accommodating. The thing that stood out to us the most was the team's care, organization, and thought that goes into making our day special. It is apparent that they are passionate about what they do and they are here to support us throughout the entire process.

While we are still early on in the process, we are so happy that we have decided to host our wedding with the Richardson Hotel and we would highly recommend it to others!
