Amazing Venue with Amazing Staff
Whitehouse Caterers at Overhills Mansion was the best caterer and venue we could have hoped for. This was only the second place we visited as an option, and we knew from our first visit that this is where we wanted to get married! Our first visit was with Terri who provided us with a full tour of the facility and a cost estimate for what we had in mind for our day. Most of my communication thereafter was with Lynda, who I cannot say enough good things about. She answered every email in a timely manner, met with us at least 3 times (probably more) to go over logistics or any concerns I had, and I was lucky enough to have her there the day of our wedding as well. We had a very specific vision, as our wedding was Alice in Wonderland themed, and they were not only accommodating with our vision, but also went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us. We had our ceremony and reception there, with a brunch buffet for dinner, and all of our guests raved about the service and the food. We also had a short rehearsal there the week of the wedding where we met our day-of coordinator, Rosie, who was an amazing help the day of, especially with our ceremony. The waitstaff and bartenders even seemed like they were having a good time with our guests!
Some things to keep in mind:
PLEASE NOTE that these are not complaints, simply things to consider when choosing this venue.
1. We got married mid-afternoon on a Sunday because we wanted to be the only wedding that day. If you get married on a Saturday, there will likely be another wedding either before or after you.
2. You are able to drop off your decorations a few days before your event, but you will need to have help with getting all of your decorations out on the day of. You are not able to pick anything up the next day.
3. While we had a rehearsal, it was on the Thursday before our Sunday wedding. We were not able to have this scheduled until one month before the wedding, which was a little stressful, but honestly, it’s completely understandable. It is unrealistic to expect a venue to hold the space open for you on a Saturday for a $50 rehearsal fee when they should be booking another wedding or event that day.
Overall, Overhills and Whitehouse Caterers was the absolute best venue we could have hoped for. I cannot recommend them enough, especially Lynda and Rosie!
