Most Magical Wedding EVER

Our wedding was absolutely incredible. It was better than we had imagined. Jessica and Miriam helped us plan every little detail, there was no stone left unturned. The price for this venue was incredible compared to others we had looked at. White Chimney Estates was so much prettier than others and seemed to offer more. I would highly recommend booking your wedding here, you will not be disappointed.

White chimney was amazing

White chimneys was an amazing value for the money we spent they were very helpful and even when it rained they went out and dried off all the seats ahead of time. They made sure we had a wedding day full of great memories

Best venue and team ever!!

White Chimneys Estate was everything we could have hoped for and more. It was the perfect place for our wedding, with gorgeous outdoor gardens and beautiful indoor spaces.
The team at White Chimneys truly made the experience. They were incredibly supportive from the start and always willing to share advice and guidance, which made us feel so comfortable and confident throughout the process. On our wedding day, we were able to fully enjoy every moment knowing we were in such good hands.
And we can’t forget Don Julio the donkey — he was such a fun and memorable part of our day and an absolute hit with our guests. White Chimneys Estate will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we’d recommend it in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team. 🤍

An unforgettable wedding day

White Chimneys was the perfect venue for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The property is absolutely beautiful and created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere for our day. The weather was beautiful allowing us to have an amazing outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and yard games. The reception/dinner inside the barn was truly breathtaking. The lights, the décor, everything was perfect and just how we pictured. Having the ability to use the vendors we wanted was a huge plus.
From the moment guests arrived, we kept hearing how stunning the venue was—and many told us it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to. The space felt both elegant and joyful, which made the entire day feel extra special and memorable. We truly had the best day of our lives. We are so grateful to White Chimneys for helping make our wedding day unforgettable, and we would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful and magical place to get married.

Wedding of my dreams!

The value of money for this venue is incredible! You get a garden/countryside/barn all in one. The pictures turned out amazing as there are tons of picture perfect spots. Jessica did a wonderful job ensuring the day went as planned along with my wedding planner. The guests still talk about how beautiful the venue was and how much space there is. Everything was catered to just how I envisioned and I would recommend White Chimneys Estate a million times over!

Amazing Day

When we first stepped foot on the White Chimneys property, we knew we were at our venue. The responsiveness to see the venue was very quick after inquiring. We loved everything Jessica had to offer for a June wedding. We left with all the information we needed and the outline of the process was made simple for us to work with vendors whom they spoke highly of. One of our favorite things about our experience was the ability to rent bigger structures like the welcome signs or seating chart that actually took the stress of making and transporting these off our plate. Additionally, White Chimneys is in a great area that allows for great structure for your wedding weekend with restaurants and hotels nearby and amazing accommodations for getting ready on site to make your timeline fit your day. The grounds are beautiful all year round; it is very spacious to allow for a great flow for your day (with multiple options to make it mirror for your vision), and has unique and whimsical touches for pictures and guest experiences to stand out. You can tell this is a property that is rooted in family and loved very dearly. Communication from there was simple! We worked primarily with Miriam and absolutely loved her and Jessica. Having them both with us on the big day only added to our experience and we left our wedding feeling as if we’ve known them for years. Your experience here is yours and they do everything to help your day be the most special for you. I would highly suggest booking White Chimneys for your wedding!
