    From start to finish, Ceresville Mansion served as a fantastic venue. We worked mainly with Jenni, who is incredibly experienced in wedding planning and knows Ceresville inside and out. She put us completely at ease through the whole process. Melissa, our day-of coordinator was equally calm and collected. She was incredibly organized and made all of our family members feel comfortable during the rehearsal and the day of. In addition to being a gorgeous venue, especially for outdoor weddings, the whole staff was incredibly professional and I cannot not think of a single thing that went wrong.

    Natalie and the Ceresville team provided excellent service. The responses were prompt and they were flexible and very accommodating during the ceremony and reception. The venue was also beautiful and serene. I would definitely recommend them.

    Excellent Venue. This is a nice old fashion mansion located in Frederick. It has been remodeled and looks very classy and new. I love the back patio which is very elegant.

    Ceresville Mansion venue is amazing! We had a beautiful fall wedding there. I had the pleasure of working with Kate,Vicky, and their awesome staff. Kate was there every step of the way working on our wedding plans and Vicky made sure the day of the wedding ran smoothly and was perfect! They were all very accommodating. My guests loved this venue and I would definitely recommend this venue to everyone we know! Thank you for making our wedding day soo special!

    100000% satisfied with Ceresville Mansion. We LOVED working with the staff (Tom, Kate, and Jessica - outstanding!!), the service was unparalleled, our guests are STILL talking about the food and the location was everything we dreamed of. From planning, to the tasting, to our BIG day, we loved every moment with Ceresville. We had 134 guests who fit perfectly - we were worried there would not be enough space for everyone on the dance floor but there were absolutely no issues. We had a DJ and a photobooth and decided to do food throughout the night rather than a plated dinner. Ceresville was open to every idea we had and executed our event without a single hitch. We HIGHLY recommended the mansion to anyone looking for a perfect wedding spot.

    Ceresville was amazing to work with from start to finish. We worked with Stephanie leading up to the big day, and Molly was our day-of coordinator. The only negative is that our readers' microphone didn't seem to be on during the ceremony, so now that that's out of the way (brides and grooms, your day will never be 100% perfect anyway, just accept it!), here are all the positives. (Also note that I'm giving 5 stars anyway -- that's how awesome they were.)

    -The staff is so nice. Stephanie fielded quite a few emails and questions from me, and last-minute seating chart edits, all with such a sweet tone and without complaint. I only ever saw her smile. And my bridal attendant Lindsay was always there with a smile to ask me if I needed anything on the day of.
    -They are true professionals. My DOC Molly, who I met at the rehearsal, was so professional and prepared and had answers to all my questions, and knew exactly what needed to be taken care of. She had such helpful advice for me as well -- without her advice, when I walked up the aisle, I wouldn't have thought to look at my groom right away, and I'd have missed his huge smile when he saw me in my dress.
    -They are attentive to what's going on. Ceresville was able to get their own table numbers out for us to use when our florist forgot to bring ours!
    -The food is awesome. We did a brunch buffet and oh man was it good -- lots of guests were commenting not only on how they loved the brunch food, but also on how tasty it was!
    -The mansion is beautiful inside and out. We were there during the day and the natural light was beautiful. The weather was perfect so we did our ceremony out back where there's a gorgeous pergola and pond with lilies.
    -Their rental includes a lot, including a DOC, so less work for you!

    I could go on and on about the amazing experience I had with Ceresville. Thank you guys for making my + Evan's day so special!

    We absolutely could have not asked for a better venue to hold our wedding than Ceresville Mansion. Jessica helped us every step of the way leading up to the big day. No matter how big or small the detail seemed to be Jessica helped make it perfect. We came into the mansion looking for a simple elegance, but got a fairy tale dream. No body can take the stress of planning off your shoulders but when it comes to the day of; Ceresville and its staff members take all your worries away. I never thought I could just relax the way I did while getting ready for the most important day of my life. They are so attentive on all your needs, it is truly amazing. Highly impressive!

    Best Day Ever

    Picking Ceresville was one of the best decisions that we made. Our event coordinators made everything so easy. We started out with Stephanie who was more than perfect introducing us to Ceresville and getting the planning process started. When Stephanie left Ceresville we were seamlessly handed off to our second coordinator Kate. Kate went above and beyond answering all of my last minute emails and assisting me and getting all of the last minute additions.
    We planned to get married outside with a back up plan of getting married inside. However, we got hit with a surprise storm that threw off both plans. Our Ceresville team went into action and at last minute we ended up getting married on the dance floor which created one of the most intimate experiences of my life!
    Our guest still cannot stop talking about how great the food was! We had the pleasure of attending two tastings so we got to try a lot of the options at Ceresville. ALL of them were great and a fan favorite seemed to be the shrimp and grits. The in house catering made everything so easy.
    Lastly, I want to give special thank yous to our day of coordinator and wedding attendant. They spent the day running around and doing everything in they could to make us happy. If I could do it all over I would pick Ceresville every time!

    Ceresville is the absolute perfect setting to have your wedding! The coordinators (Thank you Meghan!) were so quick to respond, and never made me feel like a pain, even though I asked TONS of questions. The food was delicious, and people can't compliment us enough how beautiful and perfect everything was! I really can not commend Ceresville enough for the beautiful work they do, and the way that they put brides to ease!

    Ceresville Mansion was absolutely the best wedding decision I made! I choose this venue after receiving an email from theknot.com suggesting it. Loved what I saw on the website, called the mansion immediately, drove 2 hours that day to go see it for myself, and booked it! I even already had another venue booked which I lost $800 for canceling but Ceresville was so worth it! The staff at Ceresville Mansion are so friendly, professional, and helpful! Jenni Meisner was my coordinator who was with me from the day I went to check out the location until the day I got married! She helped plan and organize everything and answer any questions I had! We were in almost constant communication via email which made the wedding planning go very smoothly. I never had to worry about anything involving the venue. This venue takes care of the catering, tables, chairs, linens, set up, clean up, organization for the wedding day, and sooo much more! I didn't have to worry about a thing. We just showed up on the wedding day, got ready in the 3 rooms provided for the bride, bridesmaids, and groomsmen and groom, and had an amazing day! The "bridal stalker" kept us fed, drinks in our hand when we wanted them, and helped insure every detail was perfect the day of the wedding. It was so nice to have someone there in case anything went wrong and to help with anything. The mansion is beautiful and I could not ask for anything better! My guests were stunned at how amazing everything was. The food was also fantastic!! I loved everything about this venue and my wedding day! Absolutely recommend to anyone looking to get married in the Frederick area!!

    This place is absolutely stunning! This was the best place for my wedding. Our adviser Ms. Jenni was top notch. She was always available for advice and worked with us and our budget. The mansion is a historic masterpiece. We loved it! Our guests loved it! Hope to attend other events here in the near future.

    I recently had my bridal shower here and I can't say enough great things about Ceresville and their lovely staff. My mom was looking for a place that would be elegant and classy and Ceresville was it! As the bride to be, I felt so taken care of. I had about 40 guests for the bridal shower and so we brought a variety of things that needed to be set up at each table as well as decorated throughout the location. Every staff member was so helpful! I even needed batteries at one point and it was delivered! I am very pleased with how everything turned out. The food and drinks were great too. I would definitely recommend Ceresville.

    I had my wedding at Ceresville this past September on a Saturday. I have so many positive things to say about Ceresville and its staff.

    I worked with Stephanie leading up to the wedding, she was on top of emails and was always responsive and helpful, even to our vendors! Her professionalism and experience were beyond any expectations I could have had. She made herself available to us when we needed to meet with her. She really made my wedding planning stress free and I will forever be grateful to her for being such a huge help to creating my dream wedding.

    Visually, the venue itself has so many great spots that make for beautiful pictures, from outside behind the mansion on the pergola, to upstairs in the mansion, to out front on the terrace of the mansion, to even the grass near the parking lots... possibilities were endless. Our photographer got so many great shots, the one posted of our wedding party is upstairs in one of the rooms.

    Ceresville requires that you use their in house catering, but fear not, because their food selection is delicious. I would suggest attending one of their group food tastings, you will be able to taste a variety of their menu items :)

    The actual execution of all of my planning for the wedding went smoothly. Robbie was our day of coordinator and he did an amazing job. Robbie was on top of any concerns or issues that arose and made sure that everyone was where they needed to be throughout the night. The transition from the outside space from ceremony to reception was perfectly managed by Robbie. I have included an image of the seating setup under the tent, even an image of a napkin fold that I requested so I can slip in menu sheets I created. I LOVE how it all turned out! We also had Robin who was there to assist me and grab Robbie when I needed him.

    Seriously, if you are on the fence, make the right decision and go with Ceresville... you will not regret it! I will forever recommend Ceresville to everyone and anyone :)

    I could not say enough great things about Ceresville Mansion. I am SO happy we chose this venue for our reception - I felt so comfortable knowing everything was taken care of and the experience and professionalism of Stephanie Norton/the entire staff would ensure me a stress free wedding day. - and it did! My (now) husband and I went searching for the perfect venue, knowing we wanted something different - not a hotel or country club - we wanted our reception to stand out, and it certainly did. The twin parlors made for a great cocktail hour, we lined the fireplace with black and white old family wedding photos and the pond outisde we lined with candles and flowers made for some amazing photos All of the personal touches and decorations we envisioned were placed perfectly before we arrived. Anything that I needed at the reception Angela, the bridal attendant took care of, and the event manager Wayne took care of. The planning process with Stephanie was amazing - she was so great to work with, responsive and caring. The food at the reception was so good! My only "complaint" was this was the only venue that carged a big fee/wasnt free (35$ per person) for the tastings - you'd think we are spending enough money trying to feed that good to 130 people that I wouldnt have to give another 70 to try it - however, they set up the tasting similar to a reception, so it was worth it in the end. Every place in the DC is pricey, and Ceresville's rates were relatively reasonable given the area. If I had to do it all over again I couldnt imagine it being anywhere but Ceresville! I had a blast!!

    I cannot say enough about how happy my husband and I are with our wedding at Ceresville Mansion! My husband is from PA and I'm from FL and we live in VA. That being said we searched high and low for a place that we could afford for a wedding of about 100 people in the greater DC metro area. We stumbled upon Ceresville on WeddingWire and decided to investigate online. We read dozens of glowing reviews and thought well there are some really good reviews but could this be too good to be true? It took one visit to Ceresville to realize that all the good reviews were true! We had many concerns about planning a wedding in Frederick, MD (an hour away from our home in Alexandria, VA) but as soon as we met Stacey we knew everything would be okay. She took care of all of our planning needs and looked after every detail of the wedding. She made me feel like a calm bride (not easy to do considering I was planning a DIY wedding and was doing everything myself and by hand) and I never worried about a thing. In fact, the entire staff is amazing! We had an event coordinator the day of who literally ran the show for us. All we had to do was get dressed and enjoy our day. We had special rooms to ourselves and a lovely attendant who made sure we had everything we needed (she made sure we had drinks, food and she was our eyes, ears and feet the day of since we chose not to see each other before the wedding). The food was DELICIOUS! I am still getting compliments (in fact three people from my office asked if the mansion had dinner service so they could eat there again!). The Chef is also an owner of the mansion. He has such pride and passion for making every event there amazing and we were so impressed when we met him. He was there on our day making sure every last detail was perfect and he was always smiling!

    The house itself is so charming and beautiful. My guests felt very at home and comfortable. The mansion has a wonderful history and is very elegant and tastefully decorated. The grounds are well kept and there is a stunning pergola and reflecting pool outside. We were lucky enough to have our wedding outdoors and it was so romantic. The reflecting pool is also a koi pond and looks amazing when it is lit with candles and covered in rose petals. In the spring/summer there are beautiful blooming lilies as well (although ours was a winter wedding so we settled for floating candles). The pergola is also covered in blooming vines in the spring/summer. We were able to bring our own garland and decorations (something a lot of other venues would not let us do) since the flowers had not yet bloomed. My wedding pictures are stunning because of our beautiful setting.

    The last thing I want to say is that Ceresville took care of everything for me and that was something that made my wedding perfect. The only hitch was a missing unity candle (but they had a spare and it was just fine). I made everything (menus, programs, escort cards, centerpieces) myself and I was allowed to bring the stuff over early to make sure it would be there for the day of the wedding. So many other places I looked at wouldn't even let me bring my own things (especially flowers) and I would have paid a lot more for outside vendors to do it for me. Ceresville provided all my linens and tables and chairs and I didn't have to pay for a single rental. On th day of my wedding, my parents were shuttling supplies to the mansion and were running really late. As soon as they arrived the Ceresville staff unloaded the car and set everything up perfectly in no time at all. I sat in my bridal room drinking champagne and thinking about my future husband while the staff did everything. My parents were helping and my mother told me that they were so kind and helpful. We had also gone over everything during the rehearsal and our even coordinator made sure everything was in place according to our instructions.At the end of the night, we all left feeling like we had the time of our lives and none of that would have been possible without the staff and the beauty of the mansion. The spotlight was on the bride and groom from the moment we arrive until the moment we left and we will always remember our day!

    Ceresville Mansion is an all-in-one gem!

    Juli Rosenberry and the Ceresville staff were incredible throughout our wedding journey. Juli kept in constant contact, was transparent about venue and food costs, and helped us get in touch with their preferred vendors. Ceresville made it so easy, having both the gorgeous venue, catering, and a vendor package available (DJ, Videographer, Photographer, Flowers, Decor, Limo service, plus options to add more services, so we could customize to our liking), so the planning process was straightforward, and as easy as possible!
    The rehearsal was flawless, with Juli working easily with our wedding planner, and then the day of the wedding, everything was beautifully orchestrated. The food was incredible (seriously - don't sleep on the Mac & cheese or crab dip appetizer stations!), service was impeccable (Judy made sure my folks and we got extra Mac & cheese). We're so grateful to Juli and the Ceresville Mansion staff!

    Ceresville was the first place my fiancee and I visited when looking at ceremony/reception locations. I fell in love with it! My fiancee made me look at a few other places, but my mind was made up! My whole wedding was prefect, and I have Ceresville to thank! Stephanie, our event coordinator was FABULOUS!!! She was very accommodating and allowed me to be as hands on as I wanted. The food was also incredible. I know many other places do not charge for the tasting menu, but it was worth it. They fill you up!! It really helped when choosing what we wanted for the wedding. All of our guest loved the food and said it was some of the best they've had. No one left hungry, including me!! I'm very embarassed because I cannot remember the name of the lady who was with me the day of the wedding, but she was wonderful. She was there to give me champagne, help me walk up and down the stairs, and kept all my girls happy! Even though we were married in early December, we did not expect the snowstorm! Many of our guests arrived late, including our minister, which caused us to have a late start. Ceresville was very flexible and allowed us some extra time at the end, however there was a charge. Many friends and family have previously been to the mansion for wedding, and all I've ever heard are positive reviews. I'm so happy I choose Ceresville and cannot image being married anywhere else!

    Ceresville was our first stop in the search for a wedding reception venue. Each venue we visited after Ceresville never lived up to what we were promised with Ceresville. Our day turned out to be much more than I could have ever expected! I didn't have to worry with coordinating any deliveries, setup, cleanup, etc. the entire day. The staff was absolutely amazing! Anything that we wanted throughout the day, they were able to provide. A special thank you to our coordinator Stephanie Norton!! She made the entire planning process such a breeze! We couldn't have asked for a better experience!! Thanks again!!

    Ceresville was so great! My husband and I couldnt have asked for more. The old mansion provided such a romantic and charming atmosphere. All of our guests continually commented on how beautiful the mansion was, both inside and out. There is an amazing reflecting pool and pergola outside, which is where we were to have our cocktail hour. Unfortunately it began to rain very hard as the guests were driving from the church to Ceresville. The staff was able to quickly move the entire setup from the outside patio to the inside parlors and everything was great. All of the food was great and I loved that they served chocolate dipped strawberries with each slice of cake.

    We worked with Alison Elliott-Lynn during all of our planning and she was soo amazing. On the night of the wedding Stacey Andree was there. She was great too, always keeping me in the loop about things throughout the night. Whenever I wanted something or needed something it seemed like she took care of it before I even asked.

    Ceresville was very reasonably priced compared to many other reception venues in the Montgomery County area. I would very highly recommend them.

    Ceresville goes above and beyond for every aspect of the wedding. Not only is the venue beautiful inside and out, but they make planning so easy every step of the way. Our coordinator was Alison, who is SO friendly, and you don't have to worry about forgetting anything during planning because she will check it all with you well before the big day. The coordinator on the wedding day, Wayne, is amazing! He will talk you through everything and get everyone organized so you don't have to worry about a thing. Also, the bridal party has there own personal helper the day of who does everything from get you food and drinks to making sure your belongings go with you at the end of the day. My guests LOVED the place, and now all my aunts and uncles want there kids to get married there too :-). Oh and of course, everyone thought the food was fantastic, and that doesn't always happen at a wedding! Good to know the money was very well spent (and reasonable)!

    The Ceresville Mansion provides remarkable service for an unforgettable night! The venue is unbelievably gorgeous. All of the staff members are professional and friendly. They go above and beyond in everything they do. The have a back-up plan for every circumstance! All of the staffs members on the day of our wedding were knowledgeable of the time line and the personalized touches we wanted to add. The food was very yummy and was enjoyed by all of the guests. The wedding coordinated responded promptly to all my e-mails. She was very flexible when stepping up times to meet with us. She was very organized and accommodated to all of our special requests. We could not have asked more!!

    This place is amazing. The whole staff is there for you and make any special day perfect and special. The book out some time but it is well worth it. The food was perfect and everything tasted amazing. The place itself didn't need much decorating cause it is so beautiful in itself. My wedding day was just perfect and they made it so easy. I would only recommend this location to everyone.

    We could not have asked for a better venue to host our wedding ceremony and reception than Ceresville Mansion. We had the pleasure of working closely with Jenni to make sure that every small detail was thought out and plans were made to give us the wedding of our dreams. Jenni was amazing. She helped to keep our planning on track, gave good advice as a seasoned wedding professional, and never made us feel like the wool was being pulled over our eyes when expenses and budget were discussed. She even went the extra mile to be there on my wedding day and see me down the aisle even though my event was in the hands of the extremely capable banquet staff at that point. It was those small little touches that meant the most to us. The guests raved about the food and the service. The night really could not have gone better. If you're looking for a venue that has the whole wedding ceremony and reception thing down to a science, Ceresville is your place!

    Fantastic experience!

    We had our wedding there last month and could not have had a better experience. Excellent food, excellent ambiance and very helpful staff who seemed just as excited about our day as we were. We can't say enough good things about Ceresville, and neither can our guests!

    Ceresville Mansion was the perfect setting for my garden ceremony and reception. The entire staff is wonderful (a special thank you to Jenni, our coordinator who was never annoyed or exasperated with my incessant e-mails) and the food is spectacular. There�s not much that I can say about Ceresville that hasn�t been said already � it�s worth every penny and is a great value for the price.

    I can not say enough good things about Ceresville and their staff. From our first visit there to the very last moment of our big day, we were treated with the utmost care and made to feel like our day really mattered. Alison was our coordinator and I couldn't have been luckier to have such a gracious and detailed-oriented person to help our vision come true. She was always so responsive and flexible to all our crazy ideas and made us feel 100% comfortable and stress-free. Alison made sure EVERYTHING was taken care of including making calls to all of our other vendors to make sure everything was set beforehand. On our big day, we didn't have to lift a finger! Everything was set up exactly as we had requested. When we got there, we were greeted with food in our suites. There was even a designated staff member whose sole purpose was to get the bridal party whatever they wanted. Throughout the night, we were asked constantly if we were ok and given whatever we needed. The attendant even got whatever food from the buffet that our bridal party wanted and served it to them. Speaking of food.... everything was delicious! I heard multiple guests raving about how it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! If you want a one stop shop where everything is top-notch, you have to go with Ceresville!

    From start to finish Ceresville was AWSOME! I had no idea what I was doing and they were there to lend advice without making me feel bad. On the day of my wedding, the "Bridal Stalker" as they are called, was the best, she was super friendly and I really felt she was there for me. I definately recommend Ceresville and I hope to find an excuse to go there myself in the future!

    AMAZING!!!! I can't say ENOUGH about how awesome the people at Ceresville are. The mansion itself is absolutely gorgeous and charming. You will die when you walk into the Bridal Quarters! I worked with Jessica (who got married at the mansion too, a week prior to me! She was so well-prepared and on top of her game with my event, that I had no idea she was even engaged!!) On the day of, I had Melissa help me, and I even got my own "bridal stalker"; her name was Natalie. Everyone worked together, and on the day-of, I didn't have to lift a finger or freak out about a single thing! I couldn't have found a better team of people to work with!

    I would recommend Ceresville to ANY bride (with 150 guests or less). Stephanie Norton was our coordinator and from the start, helped kept us organized. They send letters when upcoming payments were due (otherwise I'd surely forget!), gave us lists and forms asking us for information they needed, updated estimates constantly as things changed, etc etc! Wayne, the rehearsal and day of coordinator was absolutely on top of everything, kept things on schedule, and always let me know how much time I had until the next "event". Angie was wonderful on the wedding day, getting whatever we needed and helping us relay messages (so that we did not have to get up and run around). The venue staff helped us set everything up--centerpieces, linens, flower petals...and even helped get things packed up! It was SUCH a breeze, I really didn't need to request friends' help other than the groomsmen. I had friends asking what they could do to help and I was like "uh, I don't know...I think the staff is taking care of it". Everything just went sooo smoothly and the venue is so beautiful, and with their quality of service, there is no other place I can think of that is a better value (and near stress-free) for a bride & groom.

    I was extremely pleased with how my wedding at Ceresville turned out on June 25th 2016. Stephanie was great as our coordinator leading up to the big day and Molly was a great banquet manager on the day of. Everything ran smoothly and looked beautiful. They even wrapped up our meals that we'd only gotten to take two bites of and sent them home with us. There isn't anything I can think of that I would have changed about the day, it was just perfect, thanks so much to Ceresville for that :)

    Ceresville could not have been more incredible for our wedding day! The staff is beyond exceptional. We worked with Stephanie and she made the entire experience so simple and was very good at communication. Everything at Ceresville was seamless. Everyone commented how amazing the food was and the service. Ceresville is beautiful and I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a magical day :-)

    Victorian Mansion and Professional Wedding Venue

    This venue was the perfect size for our 60 person wedding. The venue was gorgeous enough that we didn't need much decoration beyond the tables. I absolutely loved the pergola as the ceremony site with the little pond. One guest said that attending our wedding felt like being in a Monet painting. Compared to other venues, this place really gets the details right, with a light champagne breakfast for the bride's wedding party, time for a private secluded moment for the bride and groom the 15 minutes after the ceremony, a coordinator that tells each member of the processional when to go so that it all goes smoothly, and a vendor all-inclusive package, so that the couple does not have to fuss with too many vendors on the day-of. Food was also delicious. Highly recommend for more intimate weddings.

    The Ceresville Mansion is a fantastic place to have a wedding. We had been there for a wedding a year before ours, and were very impressed. The staff is very professional and make sure everything happens the way you want it.

    We had a rather large number of guests for our ceremony, which we did inside the ballroom due to weather. We really wanted to do a ceremony in the middle of the floor, which was a little unusual for them. Normally, it was hard to fit 140 people inside with that setup, but they experimented with different set-ups and finally created an "in the round" setup. The guests were comfortable and the ceremony was unforgettable. They went the extra mile to make our wedding beautiful, and did it with style.

    Ceresville is a beautiful place - most people do outdoor ceremonies, but we decided to do ours indoors because of the unpredictable spring weather, and the terrible traffic noises outside. They are located next to a highway, and it gets loud. On our wedding day, April 18th, the grounds (or maybe the farms surrounding us) were freshly fertilized, so there was a very pungent manure smell. That was not the venue's fault, but be sure to ask about it before you book a spring date.

    We chose Ceresville because of the price and everything it included - the in-house catering was a big deciding factor. They had a great number of menu options, and the food was delicious. Our families are both full of "foodies," and were very pleased. We also were very happy that it included a long-range planner (Jenni - thank you for everything!) who made sure of every detail, even things we didn't know we needed to decide on! ...and also a day-of coordinator, who made sure all the vendors were coordinated and we were doing everything at the times we originally wanted, without pushing us around. At the rehearsal, they gave us a little wooden miniature of the mansion to keep for memories, it was really sweet.

    Overall, Ceresville is a fantastic place to get married! We liked how much was included for the price, the grounds and building are beautiful and functional, and they really work with you. We highly recommend it!

    When looking for a venue for our wedding Ceresville was not a place I first thought of. I expected it to be over priced and not my cup of tea. BOY WAS I EVER WRONG! After going to an open house the choice was made! I am so thankful we chose Ceresville. The staff was always there to answer my questions, on top of what was to be done next and the food was delicious! I never thought I'd get married in a venue so beautiful. Many thanks to the Ceresville team!

    Jenni and the staff at Ceresville Mansion have provided two weddings now for our family. My older daughter was married there in 2007, and the younger one in May of 2013. Both experiences were a pleasure from our very first meeting with Jenni, to the final goodbyes as they helped us to load gifts and flowers into our car at the end of the evening. The staff at Ceresville are highly professional, skilled, flexible and very pleasant to work with. They provide a level of support that leads to a beautiful wedding with a minimum of stress. I always felt that they were working in the background to ensure that nothing fell through the cracks or was forgotten. This allowed us to just relax and enjoy this highly memorable celebration with our guests. I especially appreciated the wonderful working relationships that the Ceresville staff have developed with other local wedding vendors, such as the DJ, limo company, florist, etc. This made everything work so smoothly. And the food is fantastic!

    We received so many compliments from friends and family who felt that Ceresville Mansion provided a venue with just the right combination of elegance and fun.

    We were married on a Friday early August at Ceresville Mansion and it was perfect!!! Since they only book one wedding on Fridays, we had the whole day to get ready there. Our wedding planner was amazing to work with and made us feel at ease. Everything came together perfectly.

    My daughter's wedding was a dream come true. Not a wrinkle, no tiny complication, all because of their amazing venue and their fabulous dedicated staff. Our ceremony was supposed to be outdoors at 6pm, but the weather called for a thunderstorm at exactly that time. This amazing set of people were ON THE PHONE with the weather service every few minutes! They actually did a complete set up, 120 chairs, chuppah, etc. BOTH outdoors and indoors, to make sure. With the latest info, they said we had a window of opportunity, and could have it outdoors if we followed their schedule. We had a blue sky, gorgeous ceremony,unhurried and spiritual...and ten minutes after we came inside for the reception, the heavens opened. If they weren't so caring, so particular, it would have all been very different.
    The food, the atmosphere, the absolutely seamless, invisible attention that went into our dream day were beyond all expectations. The ceremony was orchestrated with great professionalism, so that it felt just natural. The whole evening flowed so that no one in the wedding party had to think about a thing. And people were having such a good time, they suggested we extend the party a half hour, which we did at very minimal cost, and it made the evening complete. We can't say enough about this place.

    We looked at about 10 venue in the DC/MD/VA area and Ceresville mansion was by far the best for us, and for our guests. Kate Moreland is a great person and was a perfect wedding planner for the year we worked together and Melissa did a great job keeping things in order the day of our wedding. Every suggestion Kate gave us worked perfectly, we had so many options but our choices seemed to make every aspect just fit together perfectly (Bill Izer for DJ, Shaun Campbell for Photos, Karen Rodkey for Cake, LBloom for flowers, and Hampton Inn and Suites for lodging). The mansion was perfect and having the entire grounds just to us was great. Plenty of room for everyone to get ready and places to relax and take so many pictures in different settings. The staff did an amazing job the day of the ceremony and reception. The ceremony area was perfect and the cocktail hour set up was beautiful. The reception was flawless and the food was amazing (lobster, beef wellington, stuffed shells). There was not one complaint by us, or any of our 130 guests. So many people complimented the Mansion and the food; it was truly a stress-free ceremony and reception and the flexibility of the staff made us 100% carefree to enjoy our day.

    All of the staff at the Ceresville Mansion are absolutely wonderful. Each and everyone of them are poised and professional while also being excited for the big day! Jenni Meisner was absolutely wonderful during the planning process and our day-of coordinator Melissa was fantastic! Not only was the venue beautiful in July, the day went so smoothly thanks to the experienced staff! Thank you so much for making our day so memorable!

Not only is the venue itself amazing, but the staff is very professional and will do anything they can to make the day what you want it to be. From the beginning, Stephanie, the event coordinator, was easy to get in touch with and very on top of all the details. I was a bride that didn't really know what I wanted, and Stephanie was able to help guide my decisions with food, drinks, table setting, linens, ceremony details, and much more. Tom Heilman, the executive chef, made an amazing spread of food. All night long people were raving about the delicious meal and appetizers. On the day of the wedding, Melissa was by my side helping me every step of the way, making sure I was where I needed to be on time, gathering the bridal party, and keeping everything on schedule. I was very set on having the ceremony outside, but alas, on the day of the wedding, it started to rain. Looking back at the video now, I am almost glad that it did because the inside of the Mansion is just beautiful. Everything about my wedding turned out to be exactly as I wanted it, and a large part in that is because of the staff at Ceresville Mansion. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a quality venue.

    Beautiful Venue - the Total Package!

    I cannot recommend the Ceresville Mansion highly enough. We were originally supposed to get married there on May 3, 2020, and with the initial shutdowns due to COVID, we had to reschedule to September 13, 2020 with about six weeks notice. The staff here were so incredibly helpful every step of the way. We worked primarily with Alison, but even when she was on vacation for a week the staff member who filled in for her (Ali K.) was top-notch. They are incredibly prompt in all of their communications and very patient in answering our (what felt like hundreds of) questions. The space is gorgeous, the outdoor areas are picturesque and well maintained, and the food was absolutely delicious. This place really is a package deal and 100% worth the cost.

    I could not have asked for anything more from Ceresville. Jenni, our coordinator, was very helpful and professional during the planning process. She coordinated and got all of the vendors organized the day of and made sure I didn't have to lift a finger. My only job was to find the vendors and they took it from there. The ballroom was beautiful, service excellent, food delicious. Everything was perfect. Our banquet manager who worked our event was cool, calm, and collected. He kept everything running on time, which is a pretty amazing feat! I would highly recommend for weddings or any other event!

    Beautiful Venue, Amazing Team!

    I could not be happier that we had our wedding at Ceresville. During the planning process, Lina was incredible. She was so responsive and made sure she always got us a detailed answer for everything we needed. The day of the wedding I was blown away with how much attention everyone paid. Starting off from getting ready, the team made sure we had food, water, and whatever we needed. During the wedding, the team made sure everything ran so smoothly and people were constantly making sure we had everything we needed. I knew the service was going to be good the day of the wedding, but it was so much better than I could have ever imagined.

    The venue is absolutely stunning and so well taken care of. The food was also so great, we had so many of our guests tell us how much they enjoyed it. I would highly recommend Ceresville.

    Ceresville Mansion exceeded my expectations by giving me my dream wedding. The food was so good, all my guests were happy, everything was beautiful. And the price was not that bad!! Everything went so smooth on the wedding day, I did not have to do anything. Phil and Jen took care of everything, and my wedding coordinator Stephanie helped with all the planning every step of the way. I am so happy with the results, and would do it all over again with Ceresville if I could!!

    Surpassed our expectations!!! Amazing!!

    Ceresville Mansion exceeded our expectations, Michele Dura-Davis helped us plan everything from the very beginning always answered any questions I had quickly. She also helped us by making sure we were on track to submitting everything before the big day which was a big help. Overall she was wonderful and we are so glad she helped us! The staff from the mansion went above and beyond to make sure everything on our special day was perfect. The attention from Vicki our day of coordinator was amazing, she made sure everything ran smoothly and that we were on track with the sequence of events of that day. Everything was perfect, all my guests can’t stop talking about how amazing the attention was, everyone felt important that day. Lauren was my bridal assistant and she was wonderful! She was always making sure I didn’t need anything and even helped me carry my bridal train before I walked in to the Venue because it was raining outside! The attention and great customer service from all the employees at the mansion was more than what I had expected, I am so thankful I choose Ceresville Mansion as our reception venue. It was an unforgettable day all thanks to them!

    We had an amazing experience at Ceresville Mansion!! Jenni, our coordinator, was AWESOME to work with for an entire year of planning. She provided excellent guidance in preparation for the big day and was incredibly patient in answering all of our questions throughout the wedding planning process. Jenni and the staff (including the wonderful chef) were all very accommodating with our special requests. On the day of the wedding, Robbie was the GREATEST!! He made sure everything (and everyone) was on track and made our day effortless. We didn't have to worry about a thing, Robbie constantly kept us in the loop with what was going on and NEVER got flustered with last minute details or changes. At the end of the night, my mom needed batteries quickly for our exit and Robbie, in a flash, promptly delivered. He is one of the hardest working guys who seems to really cares! He handles high pressure situations with ease and a smile which helped to keep us calm. He went far and beyond in making our day special!!

    We have received so many glowing feedback from our guests! They loved the food and thought the venue was simply gorgeous and so did we. Our wedding was 09.09.2017 and it was a beautiful magical day!!

    Thank you all so much for everything you did! It was the BEST. DAY. EVER!!!

    Ceresville Mansion was absolutely amazing. Stephanie was our coordinator and sh was sooo helpful all the way up to the day of the wedding. I'm pretty sure I bombarded her with phone calls and emails the week before but she took it all in stride. The staff there the day of was spotless. The wedding party was well taken care of with our own staff member to cater to our late arrival and hungry bridesmaids and groomsmen. We received numerous comments from our guests about the beauty of the location as well as how spectacular the food was. I would definitely recommend this vendor!!

    Ceresville made it happen for us. The entire event went without any problems. They provided us with the customized service, an event manager as well as an assistant. They were able to give the bride and groom convenient accommodations. They directed the guests exactly where they needed to go at all times. Not a second of downtime, not a second of boredom. And their food service is great, they are very flexible with their menu and will help you ensure all of your guests are seated and fed. This here is a very hassle-free way to hold your wedding and reception.

    Although we thought it was a bit pricey at first, we could not match the value at any other venue. The staff were wonderful. We had an intimate wedding for 60 and decided on a brunch. The chef was fantastic!!!! The venue was gorgeous
    and we were given winter rates for an April 15th wedding. Having the upstairs for everyone to get ready in was especially helpful as my husband suffers from migraines and was able to rest.

    The staff made our wedding very special! They guided us through the entire process from planning the big day to the day of the wedding itself. They were so helpful and professional. Their little details are what really made the wedding day special for us, like laying out the bridal accessories in the bridal suite just right and their decisions on where to place certain wedding decorations. The food was amazing, as well as the service. The kitchen was able to accommodate all dietary restrictions of our guests and gave those guests special attention, which made the day not only special for us, but for our guests. We couldn't ask for more.

    My experience in planning our daughters wedding celebration was stress free thanks to Jenni at Ceresville. She was there every step of the way . She was very patient and accommodating with my requests and changes I made along the way during the planning. We all need a "Jenni" when planning this type of event. Everything went smoothly when the day arrived . The staff were absolutely amazing !

    Ceresville Mansion was and is everything that we could ever ask for. The venue, and those who work there and helped made our wedding what it was is like butter to our bread.

    First off - we want to give Jenni a huge kudos for EVERYTHING. As an out of town bride, you can imagine how stressful planning a wedding could be. Nope. Jenni made the planning process absolutely stress free. Whether it be conducting meetings over FaceTime, or corresponding through email, Jenni was there for us from beginning to end. Second - the venue itself is beautiful, and perfect in every way. All of our guests couldnt stop talking about how breathtaking and amazing the venue looked. Also, the food prepared was beyond our expectations, and we couldnt have been more happy with our meal and appetizer choices, and how they came out.

    The staff at Ceresville Mansion highly succeeded our expectations and they truly made our wedding that much more special. They made sure everyone was taken care of, happy, and stress-free. Also, when it came to setting up for the ceremony and reception, everything was set up perfect and how we imagined it would be. We are so happy that we chose this venue as our wedding destination and would recommend Ceresville to anyone in the area, or out of town! Thank you!

    Ceresville Mansion is nothing but spectacular!!! I don't believe that I could have chosen a more magical venue for our wedding. From beginning to end they were nothing but friendly and accomodating. My coordinator Stephanie was always helpful and responsive to any request that I had. The food as wonderful, especially since they ventured out of their comfort zone and made jerk chicken a menu option for us. Our guest were nothing but please and are constantly asking us how did we find such a beaituful venue. You will NOT be disappointed if you choose Ceresville Mansion for your wedding.

    Everything & more

    Hosted my wedding reception at Ceresville in October and I cannot say enough good things about it! The venue is beautiful, both indoors and outdoors, the staff is extremely professional and responsive, their catering is above and beyond. We've received many remarks from guests commending us on Ceresville. They also have an all-inclusive option, which is a huge plus! Kate and Haley were so easy to work with and made our vision come to life. I could not have asked for a better experience or imagined a better venue to host our special day!

    This wedding location was an amazing place. They did everything we wanted and more. They are extremely organized and make sure you have everything you need on the day of. I would definitely recommend them to everyone. The location has an indoor and outdoor location for the ceremony. There is a room for the groomsmen to get ready and one for just the bride and one for the bridesmaid. They have someone there the day of the wedding that makes sure you have everything you need.

    I can't begin to tell how wonderful the Ceresville Staff is. I started out to name the personnel who excelled, but that wouldn't do justice to the many behind the scenes and names I can't remember. The personnel excelled from the time we started to look at venues right through the finish of our event. Thank you so much for the wonderful time and experience we had for our daughters wedding.

    My husband lives in NYC and I live in The DMV and Stephanie was very flexible in meeting us on the weekend. The venue is beautiful and required minimal work for me in terms of decorations and planning which is a relief. The location is an hour from DC but even with renting a shuttle for out of town guests staying in DC the entire wedding costs half the price of what I would have paid for a similar venue in the city and we were able to have the venue for much longer. I definitely would recommend to others!

    I am not the bride, but the groom’s mother; however, I had to write this review to express my most sincere gratitude. Ceresville Mansion is phenomenal! My son and daughter in law got married there on October 29th and the whole event was spectacular! We had only a few month to prepare the wedding and we DIY almost everything, but the staff at the venue was so accommodating and incredibly easy to work with! They were extremely organized and professional with a remarkable understanding of their guests needs in this type of situations. Robbie in particular, was always a couple of steps ahead of anything we could require making the process so effortless!
    I also worked personally with Natalie and she couldn’t be more pleasant and professional. She always answered my emails promptly and reassured us that everything would be alright, and it was! From the mansion’s décor, to the event coordination and the food!!! We had a morning wedding followed by a magnificent brunch that all our family and friends couldn’t stop talking about! I recommend this venue to any couple! Thank you so much for making my son and daughter in law’s wedding their best day ever!!!

    Originally when we started looking for venues, we wanted something near the water. When that didn't pan out we started looking at historic houses. We live in Alexandria, VA, and it just so happened that Ceresville was having an open house during the week so I convinced my then fiance to go check it out. We were impressed from the very beginning and ended up cancelling all the other appointments we had with other venues and booking the next day. Jenni was wonderful and worked with us from beginning to end. They really are service oriented and we didn't have to worry about anything on our special day because we had a "stalker" that did everything for us! They even packed up everything we brought and all our gifts before we had to leave. We got married on a Saturday afternoon and the weather was kinda iffy and they set up the chairs outside and about 15 minutes before the ceremony was supposed to start, it started pouring! The staff didn't miss a beat and set up quickly inside. I would highly recommend this venue! I have never seen the level of service that they provided at any other place and they really give options for weddings on any budget!

    I was recently married October 15 ,2011 at Ceresville Mansion.
    I would just like to say that Cereville Mansion was hands down the best venue for my wedding. Not only is it a one stop shop but the experience here was like no other. The staff made my day the best it could possibly be. My husband and family were so taken back at how at home they made us feel. My guest's were equally impressed with how "at home" they made them feel. I would reccomend Ceresville to anyone who is looking for that extra "wow" factor for thier wedding. They just don't come close to anyone else.

    From the first day we visited Ceresville, till we were driving away on our wedding night, Ceresville has been a stunning location that will always have a special place in our hearts. The mansion has gorgeous historic charm that offers versatility of indoor and outdoor entertaining areas. On top of that, the Chef and his kitchen staff create the most amazing food. After our tasting we had a hard time deciding what to serve because everything was so good! Our guests raved about the beauty of Ceresville, the delicious food, and the great service from the entire staff. Robbie and Vikki were our day-of coordinators and they were a fabulous team to work with. Special thanks to Heather who made sure that we were taken care of throughout our event. Last but not least, Stephanie was undeniably amazing to work with. She was super friendly and very responsive throughout the planning process. She was always accessible to help with on-site planning and handled our changes and curve balls that came along with the wedding planning process. She prepared numerous estimates for us so we could keep an eye on the budget, and she gave us suggestions based on previous successes at Cersville. This was absolutely the best place to get married. I can’t wait too have an anniversary celebration there!

    We highly recommend this venue for your wedding! You certainly get what you pay for! We had the privilege to work with Jessica as our wedding planner and she was great and so helpful! Melissa was our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely wonderful!! She kept things moving and if we needed anything, she was on it within seconds! My husband and I, as well as my parents, enjoyed our entire day with no worries at all - she took care of everything! The staff at the mansion was very professional and the food was to die for!!! Our guests are still talking about how delicious their meals were! Everything from the beginning of the planning stage up until the end of our reception was very organized and our day was planned down to the minute. Everything went so smoothly! This was the best decision we made to have it at Ceresville Mansion!

    I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Everything is gorgeous and little decoration is required beyond the beauty of the house and the grounds. I have had so many compliments on the food and the staff from my guests as well as my parents, and on my wedding day I just showed up and they took care of everything. I even had a "stalker" that day that took care of whatever I needed - water? check. find my mother? done. So professional and unobtrusive. It was a fantastic day.

    There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe how great the entire staff was at Ceresville. They made a highly stressful time in our lives so much easier, allowing us to truly enjoy ourselves at our daughter's wedding. The ambiance, food and service were outstanding and I'd highly recommend them to anyone who wants a fantastic event and one that family and friends will be talking about (in a good way) for years to come!!! Well done!!!

    My wedding weekend was flawless and free of stress because of Ceresville and their amazing staff. I don't even think words can fully encompass how much I appreciate them for all that they did and how amazing my day ended up being. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone who will listen - these people know what they're doing!!! The venue is SPECTACULAR, the food is AMAZING and the staff is INCREDIBLE. That is what you need to know. From Meghan to Melissa and then to Jesse, these three and so many more made sure my every need was met, they were responsive, knowledgeable and absolutely hilarious whenever my jitters got the best of me. I'm not one to share my happy places, but this place is worth everyone knowing about...phenom.

    Stephanie Norton and the entire staff at Ceresville were fantastic. We wanted a rare special accommodation at our wedding and they didn't even hesitate to make it happen! Although it drizzled the morning of and we were unable to have the ceremony outdoors, the quick turnaround to have the wedding inside was easy and looked effortless. Even indoors the ceremony was intimate and perfect. We thank all of the staff at Ceresville and highly recommend them to future couples!

    My husband and I cannot express enough gratitude to the people at this mansion. The wedding was perfect. Everything went so smoothly. They made my day worth every penny. The idea of getting married here was perfect. I loved the idea that we did not need to go out and rent other things like linens, caterer, place settings, and tents. Having everything there was perfect. Our planner was very sweet and kept me in line with the things that needed to be accomplished. Having a planner included was perfect. Thanks again Ceresville Mansion for a wonderful day!

    Ceresville Mansion is a beautiful place to get married and the staff could not possibly have been more friendly or accomodating. They are extreemly experienced and walked me through all the various options multiple times, answered questions thoroughly and promptly, were understanding of last minute changes, coordinated events with all of my vendors, and provided every convenience. I had both the ceremony and reception at Ceresville and both were very well coordinated. The familes and guests all thought that the service was flawless and the food was very good. A big benifit for us, was that we wanted the ceremony to be outside but could have been moved inside at the last minute in case of bad weather. Snacks and drinks were provided for the family and wedding party while we were getting ready and there were people on hand to ensure that my groom. I can't say enough great things about the location or the staff! Thanks Ceresville!! :-)

    We searched 8 different places for our reception and wedding in the DC area. Ceresville was by far the best and Kate was perfect. Every planning meeting, discussion, and detail was executed perfectly. Our day went perfect and the food was amazing as well. The service from all the staff was flawless. We cannot say enough good things about the Mansion and all the staff (especially Kate). The price was surprisingly a great value for the high quality of the venue and food. This is the perfect place!

    As an event planner myself I was very picky about our venue. We wanted an outside garden ceremony and indoor reception all at the same venue. Ceresville was perfect! And the sales staff was wonderful to work with. We had some specific desires related to bar service options and Stephanie worked with us to find the best way to get it done. The Chef was very responsive to dietary allergies/restrictions and created special versions of our entrees instead of the usual give them 'salad' and 'pasta' options. The food was fantastic. Total value for the money. The day of staff was on point and I am picky about service. Every member of the serving staff was wonderful and gave all our guests the royal treatment. Our guests raved about the food and had a wonderful time! My new husband and I so enjoyed having our celebration at Ceresville.

    My husband, Mark Barry and I were married at Ceresville Mansion on November 28, 2015. We could not have been happier with our choice. It was an absolutely beautiful venue where the staff took care of every detail. We had 88 guests attend and everyone raved about the food as well as the staff being so accomodating . The vendors that Ceresville suggested were all great too. Kate was extremely helpful throughout the entire process from beginning to end. The time there went so quickly and we wish we could do it all over again. We would highly recommend Ceresville Mansion to everyone.

    Our overall experience from start to finish was more than we could have ever imagined at Ceresville Mansion. I remember touring five venue options in the Frederick area back in August and without hesitation knowing Ceresville was it! Aside from the beautiful architecture and historic elements of the structure, the staff was attentive, sincere, and professional. I worked with Jessica from the start and Molly the day of. I cannot say enough great things about the two of them! Both seemed to truly care about my wedding and me as the bride. The planning process was easy and fun, and Molly made the day of carefree and I was able to focus on the excitement of my ceremony and reception! They coordinated everything with my vendors (all FABNet which I think really helps, they were familiar with all of my vendors) which made things much less complicated on my part. Overall, everything was perfect and I couldn't have been happier with my choice in venue!

    I had an amazing experience at Ceresville. The staff met all my expectations and was very understanding. Jessica was pleasant to work with. The staff worked with us through our wedding making it as stress free as possible. Our guests were amazed at the professional service they received from the entrance all the way through to the end of our wedding. I am truly pleased with everything this Mansion offered us.

    I would recommend the Ceresville Mansion to anyone! This place is absolutely AMAZING both inside and out! My husband and I had an evening ceremony in their outside courtyard, the pictures turned out STUNNING! The pond that sits in the center of the yard is beautiful and so romantic. I also can't say enough about their staff. They are all so kind and extreemely professional. Meghan Butler was my wedding coordinator and I will never be able to thank her enough for all of what she did for us to make our day special! Maureen took care of us the day of the wedding and her attention to our needs was remarkable. Wayne was also there and he made sure that the wedding ran smoothly and was a success! I have not one negative comment to make about this place. All of my guests had an awesome time! Many expressed how attentive the staff was throughout the entire reception. I also received many compliments on the food served. It was delicious! PERFECT place for both a ceremony and a reception. If I could rate them higher than 5 stars, I WOULD!!!

    Caring and Professional

    Our experience with Ceresville was pleasant from start to finish. We worked with Ali for about a year an a half prior to our wedding day, and she has been exceptional at ensureing that everything that we wanted was executed well. They also worked with us with complex requests with meals and decoration and coordinated with all our vendors to ensure setup went flawlessly. Our wedding day was as incredible, and the venue being beautiful just added to it. Staff was always available to assist in every way possible through the event.

    Ceresville Mansion comes highly recommended to anyone looking to get married or have a reception there.

    Ceresville Mansion was the perfect venue from start to finish! Our coordinator, Jenni, was very responsive and extraordinarily helpful. She guided without being pushy and allowed us to shape the day to reflect us.

    The day of our banquet manager, Melissa, was incredible! She was there to answer every question and to provide guidance when requested. She guided us through the rehearsal and decoration. She allowed us to wait until 60 minutes prior to the ceremony to decide on inside or out because of the chilly weather. She handled out vendors with ease and took all of the day of details out of our hands. Our bridal stalker was fantastic. She wasn't overbearing but was there whenever we needed something.

    Our guests raved about the food, about the gorgeousness of the venue and how smoothly the night ran. I would highly recommend Ceresville to anyone looking for an intimate venue with the best employees.

    Ceresville Mansion was absolutely incredible in every way! We worked with Jenni (from the video!), and she was the calmest, most easygoing, flexible person ever. Nothing was a problem, everything I asked, even my silliest questions, were answered with a smile. The food was to die for, and she literally said to me, "We want to make sure that you come in here on your wedding day and don't have to think." And it was so true! I didn't worry about anything! One thing I didn't know about was my 'bridal stalker' - they actually have a staff member always nearby the bride (within calling/gesturing distance, at least!), just to cater to anything I asked for! Star treatment, all the way.

    Beautiful venue, inside and out

    Ceresville Mansion is a hidden treasure. It's very easy to miss, as it's RIGHT off of a major road, but I'm so glad we found it. All of the staff that helped us coordinate our wedding were able to quickly and knowledgeably answer all the questions we had right up to the time we walked down the aisle. The rehearsal was smooth, and the day of was even better. Neither of us had to worry about a thing thanks to the fantastic staff, even with some last-minute changes on our end. Food was provided by the venue, and their entire menu is to die for. We opted for a brunch wedding, with about half of the menu being vegan-friendly (and DELICIOUS!). Could not be happier with choosing Ceresville!

    Amazing Wedding Venue

    Ceresville Mansion is everything you could want in a venue! There are so many small details that go into planning a wedding, and the staff there are experts. The planning services and day of coordination add so much value- Juli and Haley made sure every part of our day went smoothly. Ceresville accommodated all of our guests with food allergies and everyone said it was the best food they ever had at a wedding! We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors, and our reception indoors, and the transition was seamless. The staff was great with helping us set up and clean up. Our guests had an amazing time!!

    I've got to say choosing Ceresville Mansion was one of the best decision we made through the wedding planning process. Jenni M. took care of the planning and organizing and my was she the best.

    We found Ceresville Mansion online, and initially it wasnt even our #1 choice, until Jenni followed up with us 2 months or so after we had inquired about prices. She gave us various options of packages and never gave up until we were satisfied with the price, which is the #1 thing a bride usually stresses about.

    The day of the wedding we had the pleasure of working with Bobby who did a phenomenal job getting it all together and organized, I was stressed but he calmed me down by telling me not to worry that he had it all handled. Unfortunately I was one of those brides that had envisioned the ceremony outside but the weather did not corporate with my vision, so we had to do everything inside and even my guest said that it was just perfect, may have actually even worked out better because a few people had allergies (being allergy season). Everything was so well put together without me being there to tell them where everything went.

    The food was delicious, the guest were super impressed so thumbs up to the Chef!
    I would highly recommend Ceresville Mansion not only because my day was made perfect by them, but because all the other reviews I've seen also agree with my testimony.

    Ceresville is a beautiful venue, that has a sense of historic, understated classiness, that never veers into the ostentatious. It is a well run, highly professional yet friendly place. No detail is overlooked, nothing is too much trouble for Jenni, Wayne, Chef Paul and the rest of the staff. For them every wedding is unique and they spent a lot of time understanding what we wanted and making sure that we got it. Whether we contacted them in person, by email or over the phone, every query was handled as if we were the only wedding they were dealing with.

    We also interviewed some of their preferred partners for other professionals and ended up working with their recommendations of Shaun Campbell the photographer, Matt Shewitz the DJ and Cathy Ford the cake maker (her strawberry cake with whipped frosting was a definite hit).

    On the day, every one of the details that we planned with whole team was delivered and when we had a couple of last minute changes, they took it all in their stride, with no fuss whatsoever.

    The photographs of Ceresville speak for themselves but but it is the team that makes it unique. These five star ratings were well earned from a couple who are not known for giving easy praise.
