The James Ward Mansion is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. We were taken aback by its beauty and sophistication as soon as we walked in. I feel so lucky to have been able to get married here! The entire space is gorgeous, but the bridal suite is the perfect place to spend your morning getting ready. The staff (especially Julie and Tom of T&L Catering) were wonderful and easy to work with. They went above and beyond my expectations for our special day.

This James Ward Mansion is a fantastic venue to host an event. We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday party there and it was absolutely spectacular. From the beautiful interior to the staffs ability to create a Gentleman's Tequila Lounge to a beautiful Ladies Champagne Room? Everything was taken care of leaving our family and our guests to truly enjoy the night.

There is nothing more we could ask for. JULIE is amazing to work with and I highly recommend this venue and their exquisite staff.

The James Ward Mansion was unbelievably perfect for my 30th birthday and I could not recommend them enough. The venue is super spacious and held my group of 60 guests with ease. Theres a few rooms that the guests can move between and all of them are drop dead gorgeous and set up for guests to move comfortably. They've got multiple bathrooms, a FULL kitchen for the catering staff, a lounge, a cocktail room with a huge white fountain in it, an upstairs with a HUGE bathroom/powder room to get ready in and a gorgeous master bedroom styled the same mansion-esque way as everything else here. I worked with Julie and Anna and they were so sweet, responsive, flexible to my needs and felt more like family by the end of my event. We worked with T&L Caterting and they just helped make the event ten times better. There legitimately is not one thing that could have gone better (and I'm a picky type-A person!) and I can't wait to use them for my next event.

James Ward Mansion was the perfect intimate venue for my wedding of ~50 guests. Everyone loved the cozy vibes and all of the different elegant rooms for pictures and exploring. Julie was a pleasure to work with every step of the way. We also went with their preferred caterer and DJ (T&L Catering and All Star Entertainment) which was a great choice. Everyone worked well together and we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

We could not asked for a more magical venue to celebrate our wedding day. The Mansion is breathtaking with its wonderful southern charm. The amazing staff are always ready to help with anything we needed. It really felt like they were family. They knew the best places to take photos and make the most of our special day. We had our wedding on a Sunday so parking was free in the lot around the corner. The most important day, deserves the most amazing venue to hold it.

We recently had an event at the JW Mansion. The venue is beautiful, rooms are bright, so our photographer was able to easily capture some beautiful pictures, food was absolutely phenomenal, and the level of service we received from the staff was absolutely impressive. Staff are very friendly, kind and went above and beyond to ensure that the event was a success. As you know there is a lot of stress and pressure when hosting events, staff reassured us not to worry or stress. We would like to thank Anna, Leo, Jackie, Julie, and the entire staff for making the event even more special. We really appreciate your hard work, kindness and can-do attitude. We are extremely grateful to you all for making a life-time memory more special. Appreciate you all!!!

My now husband found this place with a simple google search. After looking at photos I knew if we toured the venue this is where we would get married. I was right. We just got married 6.2.24 an our experience was spectacular.

The staff: Julie was great to work with when it came to booking, visits and scheduling my rehearsal. She was kind and knowledgeable when it came to answering my many questions, and she always did so in a timely fashion. On the day of Anna was on site to make sure everything ran smoothly and it did. I could not be more thankful for her!

The Venue: It was love at first sight. After booking Julie let us know the mansion would be undergoing some updates/changes from when I first toured and they came out amazing. The whole place is very bright and airy. I chose to have a day time wedding and the skylight in the cocktail room provided so much natural light for the best photos. Along with the large windows in the main space.

The bridal suite can easily accommodate a large bridal party. I had a very small one and it was the perfect spot for getting ready and the photos that come along with it. The groomsmen suit received an update and it is the PERFECT spot for the boys to lounge and get ready in. It feels very much like an upscale whisky/cigar lounge (according to my husband and his friends).

The venue is extremely budget friendly and honestly speaks for itself. This is perfect if you are looking to provide minimal décor. There is not a set caterer on staff but the venue does work closely with two (2) specific ones who were a pleasure to speak with while choosing the best option for us.

There are three (3) styles of events and due to our small guest count we were able to have a dance floor. I do recommend if you have 7-8 tables to request they remove one after dinner to create a larger floor.

All in all I had the wedding of my dreams here, it was everything I wanted and more. I will always recommend this Venue for Weddings, and other major celebrations.

The James Ward Mansion was my first and last choice when planning my husband’s retirement party. Julie of TJWM is simply amazing to work with and T&L Catering went over and beyond with both food and service. My guests were well pleased the beautiful esthetics of the mansion and delicious food!

My husband ended his night on cloud nine as we danced the night away in celebration of his 30 years of service from EOFD.

This venue was perfect for our intimate Art Deco wedding we had during memorial weekend. Most our vendors were recommended by James Ward and set-up was flawless day of our wedding and Anna was amazing she was with us all day and was super helpful with managing vendors.

Thank you Julie and Anna for all your help in making our wedding a success!! Highly recommend this venue for any special events. We had around 75 guests and it was perfect. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and the intimate ambience it created.
