Gorgeous Venue

We had the privilege of having the first wedding at the Von Isley Estate. From our very first visit, the luxurious grandeur of the staircase to the newly remodeled reception hall, various rooms with all the amenities, a kitchen for your catered delights, we just knew that this was the place to embark on our forever journey. The Von Isley captures the ideal setting for a bride and groom’s dream. The owners, Josh and Gerna, took it upon themselves to accommodate us in every sort and fashion down to a minute detail and our wedding would not have been nearly as grand without their help and guidance. I wish there was a better way to describe it other than perfect. It was a genuine pleasure to get married at the Von Isley Estate. A day and place we’ll never forget. ❤

The Von Isley Estate is a 10 out of 10!

The Von Isley Estate is a 10 out of 10! From the very beginning when we went to see the estate to the day of the wedding was perfect! The house itself is absolutely stunning! It speaks for itself! Josh and his family were such a huge help and extremely knowledgeable about vendors to recommend to us, to us hiring Josh to DJ and MC the reception himself! I can’t say enough great things about it. I recommend The Von Isley estate 1000 times over!!! My wedding was perfect!

Seriously, pick this place!!!

This place is classy, well-kept, affordable, gorgeous, and managed by some of the NICEST people. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. It has PLENTY of space, has a spacious kitchen, a bar, stays cool despite a crowd of people, is VERY clean, and needs minimal decorating because of how ornate it is on its own. Josh is incredibly accommodating and is an absolute gem; he is also a great MC and can keep a party going even if folks don't know how to dance (spoiler alert: he does!).
There is SO much room and plenty of space to get ready without the risk of the bride running into the groom. There are indoor and outdoor arrangements available, and the schedule flexibility is incredibly helpful. I could go on and on.. the big day went without a hitch and I will recommend this venue to everyone!!

Vintage Christmas Wedding of My Dreams!

Josh and his mother have turned the estate into the most beautiful and intimate venue for any occasion! His knowledge of the estate's history was fascinating, and we even made some family connections to the location! Our wedding was perfect. They helped take the stress out of planning and were extremely responsive and attentive to details. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and the vintage Christmas vibe made our night beyond perfect. Thank you SO MUCH for everything you did to help with our special day!

I would relive this day over and over if we could!

Our wedding at the von Isley estate was nothing short of amazing! We really utilized all there is to offer on our wedding. I highly recommend booking the entire weekend and having close family and friends stay with you in house.

Arriving Friday gave us so much time to settle in, set up and enjoy the space. The house was very cozy and had everything we needed to accommodate overnight stays. The attic space was an extra for our kids to stay occupied. There was enough fridge space for wedding goods and extra overnight things as well.

Our rehearsal dinner was held inside the space, Joshua had tables and chairs set up and we ordered catering to go so it all ran smoothly and was fun!

We had our ceremony outside in the garden area, utilized the carriage house area and the fire pit on the night of our wedding! I noticed guests spending time out front as well and we took some beautiful photos on the grounds. We hired Joshua’s Dj company as well and they were wonderful.

We used the reception hall for dinner, dancing and bar. Everything was very organized and fun.

Josh and his crew went above and beyond accommodating us prior to the wedding and during our weekend stay! I wouldn’t change a thing and so happy with our big day at the Von Isley!

Best Venue in the Valley

The Von Isley Estate is where you should have your event. No if ands or buts. I spent months researching and touring over a dozen other venues in the valley and absolutely none could offer even half of what the Von Isley could.

I choose the Friday to Sunday package from my wedding which gave us access to not just the reception space, but the whole home for that time. This allowed for a seamless set up Friday and the most fun sleepover with my bridesmaids then night before. When using the reception space, you are able to use the venues tables, chairs and linens at no extra cost!! This only will save you 100s if not more.

Josh and his mother (the owners) are the type of people who want you to have exactly what you want and will do everything in their power to make it happen. They are extremely kind and have been in the wedding industry for decades, so their advice is so helpful! They are there for you from the first tour till clean up is complete! No question is too small and no ask too big. They help set up, coordinate and clean up. Just a heads up no other venue offers to coordinate your vendors day of for free. They truly care more about your experience than the money they can make off you.

The moment I walked in to the Von Isley Estate, I knew I had to have my reception there. The home is historic and classic without feeling stuffy or museum like. It truly feels like your own personal Cinderella castle for the wedding. Everything is tastefully decorated making it easy to customize to your style. The home and grounds offer a ton of gorgeous picture options too.

I would 100 out of 10 recommend this venue
