The Victorian provided a beautiful and unique wedding experience for my daughter, her husband, and our families. Our guest expressed their delight with the beauty of the house and the antiques that filled every room. I enthusiastically recommend the Victorian as a wedding reception vendor. The owners are kind, responsive, generous with their time and expertise, and help you to feel "at home" throughout your event.

The reception center was beautiful and the refreshments were great, but the photography was sub par. The pictures were very generic with no interesting angles or poses. Some were off center or slightly slanted. I would suggest the venue, but not Robert Wood Photography. Although, if you want any pictures at the reception, they do not allow any other photographers to shoot at the house.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
