Franklin Park is one of the most beautiful wedding venues. We got married in early November in the Palm House and our friends and family are still raving about how beautiful the space is. From the very beginning Taylor was SO responsive and sweet, answering my 100s of questions throughout the planning process. Sarah kept up the same level of customer service as we neared wedding day. We truly appreciate how helpful the whole team was in the planning process. Even though there was an event at the conservatory at the same time, the team did a great job keeping the public out of our reserved spaces. I know they have renovations planned for the Palm House so I can't speak to the future of the space, but it was the best decision I made in the wedding planning process. Highly recommend.

The Venue The venue itself is stunning year round. Words can't do justice to how gorgeous the building and grounds are. We had spent months looking at other venues beforehand, but nothing even came close. The property has a history and story to it as well, which we can definitely appreciate. It feels secluded with trees and foliage surrounding it on all sides and the mansion is unreal. This place is a hidden gem. The Staff Lisa Ferraro is just the best. She is so kind, insightful, proactive, and all-around fantastic at what she does. We'd spent a good amount of time getting to know her on the first day that we toured and everything just clicked. We had great, fun conversations and felt so much more relaxed about our wedding knowing that this was it. She connected us with the best vendors (shout out to Matt the DJ with Seamless Sounds!), went out of her way to accommodate the accessibility needs of our guests, and asked all the right questions to keep our wedding planning on track. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went perfectly and we can't say enough great things about her! The rest of the staff nailed it too-- the setup day-of looked beautiful and teardown went flawlessly.

My family of about 30 had a lovely evening at Raymond House. The food and service were excellent. I couldn't believe the price I was quoted for such a large amount of food. Dee was so gracious by allowing those who wanted to linger to continue hang out by the pond even after our scheduled meeting time. I highly recommend Raymond House to all who are interested.

Has a great view and we paid $1200 but the $200 you get back after you clean up the day after your evert. I would definitely recommend this venue to everyone!

My experience with Weymouth Hill was absolutely lovely from start to finish. At every step of the process, Elizabeth and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we hoped for. The three things I most appreciated about Weymouth Hill were the transparency, the flexibility, and the excellent service. One thing I noticed while researching venues is that many locations have unclear pricing, or charge extra on top of their flat rate for useful or even necessary items, such as additional chairs over fifty, shuttle services, or parking attendants. Not so with Weymouth Hill. Elizabeth’s pricing documents are clear, reasonable, and completely open. And, as I will touch on more later, she didn’t charge us extra fees for services that came up last minute, such as running a shuttle bus so our guests wouldn’t be rained on, or moving our entire ceremony inside the Lodge on the morning of to avoid the rain. It was so helpful it was to know exactly how much everything was at the start of the planning process. Another thing I found so wonderful about working with Elizabeth was her flexibility and willingness to adjust. For example, I forgot to communicate a couple extremely key details to Elizabeth: one, that we would be bringing in some sound equipment that we would have to drop off the night before and arrive early to set up, and two, that we would be doing line dancing that would require us to break down nearly all the tables after the meal. Elizabeth learned about both of these during our rehearsal the day before the wedding, and she took them completely in stride. She let us drop off our equipment and let some of our party in early to set up, and while we had originally planned for the groomsmen and other guests to help with table breakdown, she even reserved some extra workers from set up to help things move more quickly. She was also completely willing to move the ceremony inside or out depending on weather, which turned out to be a very valuable thing indeed! The last thing I loved about working with Weymouth Hill was the excellent service Elizabeth and her team provided. I have at least half a dozen wonderful examples, but I think these two moments exemplify it best. As we got closer to our big day, the forecast started to look a little ominous, but it was only supposed to be light rain several hours before the wedding, so we rehearsed outside and planned to be outdoors. Then, the morning of, the rain was not only harder than expected, but later in the morning as well. To add to the stress, I was about an hour late getting to the venue. I arrived half in a panic, so worried that we would end up with damp seats and a drizzly ceremony. I hurried into the English Cottage with my bridesmaids and found Elizabeth as soon as I could to apologize for my tardiness and see if we could possibly move things inside so late--only to find that everything was already set up inside the Lodge. Elizabeth had taken care of everything. That sense of relief carried me through the rest of the day. Elizabeth and her team gave me the “Chillest Bride Award,” but rest assured, I was only able to be so calm because of their excellent work! Another day-of example: as my husband and I were filling out our marriage license details, we asked Elizabeth about how to fill in a particular blank, and she thought to ask where our pastor was registered as an officiant. As it turns out, his state of residence does not have reciprocity with Ohio! Yikes! That’s definitely not a hiccup you want to have at your wedding. But Elizabeth, once again, had a solution ready to go. She called up a judge, asked him a couple questions about the reciprocity, and set up to meet him at a baseball game he was attending so he could sign the license. Elizabeth drove over there herself to bring him the paperwork. I don’t think I need to highlight how stellar that kind of behavior is, but I will: Elizabeth went above and beyond in every possible way. Her preparation and willingness to go the extra mile saved my husband and I endless headaches and, potentially, having to do a second, legally binding wedding. I don’t think any other venue would have done half as much as she did for us. Overall, as I said, my experience with Weymouth Hill was stellar. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an elegant wedding location with an excellent staff. Our wedding was a joyful, beautiful celebration, and I’m so glad we had it at Weymouth!
