The Historic Post Office Reviews

We did a group tour about 10 months before the wedding date. My daugher was a bit stressed out as time was of the essense. Ellie, one of the coordinators, led the tour and after speaking directly with her following the tour I was sold. My daughter was sold after seeing the bridal and groomsmen suites, but for me it was the warm feeling I got from Ellie. She assured me we could achieve our vision in the time we had and she would make sure of it. For those who don't know, they offer wedding coordinator services for and additonal fee in addition to the venue. BEST MONEY EVER SPENT!!! I could not have asked for a better companion for this journey. Ellie kept us on schedule, helped us with caterer recommendations, as well as, DJ, photograher, florist and even someone to assist with the ceremony. She offered up great ideas for our Christmas wedding. The venue is gorgeous on its own, but dressed up simply for Christmas was absolutely stunning. The suites are the spacious and furnished beautifully, lots of mirrors and space for the girls to get ready and the groomsmen suite has a pool table and kitchen to keep them entertained. This venue is a 10 out of 10 in every way. The building itself is stunning, but the people - they put this place over the top! Highly recommend the venue and the wedding coordinator services.

I knew from the moment we had our tour at the HPO that this would be our venue and I’m so glad we chose it. The venue is beautiful and the bride/groom suites sold us. We had a large wedding party and had so much space to get ready. The real gem of the venue was our coordinator, Ellie. She made the entire process so enjoyable and easy! From the first meeting to the day of she was available at all hours and helped ease my wedding stress. Everyone at the HPO was incredible and our guests are still raving about the venue almost a month later! I cannot say enough good things about the venue and the staff. I will never stop recommending the HPO!

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding here!! On our way to tour the venue, my partner was having second thoughts on having a big wedding vs. eloping and after our tour, he was completely sold on the HPO! It was slightly over our initial budget but we moved things around to make it happen and we are happy we did that!!! We personally asked for Ellie (who gave us the tour) to be our day of coordinator (extra fee) and she was so wonderful to work with!!! Couldn't have done it without her! We were upfront with our overall budget being at 30k (we ended up spending 32k, not including my wedding dress) and she helped us prioritize what was necessary vs. a want. What was really helpful is they have some small decor items (candle vases, sign stands, cake cutting utensils, champagne glasses) they let us use, which also helped us save money!! (As that can quickly add up!). I do recommend asking about their a la carte item prices (additional costs for us were napkins and linens) when it comes to budgeting but Ellie was very accommodating and helped our vision come to life!

Since we went with day of coordination services, set up and break down was included. They were like a well-oiled machine!!! They flipped the ceremony space into the reception space and the room was TRANSFORMED. As the bride, I wasn't asked any questions regarding decor setup because my fiance had the information and was able to answer all of Ellie's questions. This left me to enjoy my morning with my girls in their enormous bridal suite!!! We were there from 9am and about 10 people were in there comfortable with room for more people! The groom's den was also really big and had a pool table that everyone was able to enjoy!

We were also able to host cocktail hour outside (made the call about mid-morning) and their courtyard is so lovely! We didn't have to think about extra decor outside because the venue and umbrella tables really spoke for themselves!

The location of the venue was also fantastic because we were able to get a variety of pictures in different spots (by the water, in the park, in front of the church next door, and a mural nearby) and the outside of the HPO is absolutely stunning and timeless! We are so so glad we went with the HPO, their coordination and hardwork to bring our dream wedding come to life. It will always have a special place in our hearts!

We got married here a couple of weeks ago and it was PERFECT. Truly so stunning and a very unique venue. The front steps provided the most picturesque backdrop. Highly highly recommend!

We wanted a venue we could do the ceremony and reception in the same place and all indoors in case of bad weather. The bridal suite was stunning, it was very large and a huge plus the bridal party could be there all day getting ready.

We really enjoyed that the venue provided so much and we did not have to hire rental vendors.
We did cocktail hour outside on the patio, the pergola is beautiful and the perfect outdoor space.

Ellie was our coordinator and knocked it out of the park. She was very knowledgeable and attentive and ensured the day went off without a hitch! She advised on many of our vendors to create the perfect team!

Having a hotel across the street for guests then the bars so close for after was a huge perk as well.

My husband and I couldn’t have picked a better place to get married! The location was family friendly and absolutely stunning on the inside and out! The staff at the HPO was top notch. Definitely recommend!

The Historic Post Office simply did not disappoint. The venue was clean and the staff was wonderful. Ellie was our coordinator and she went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was nothing short of perfect. She was available throughout the entire planning process. I knew I could count on her for anything! The venue itself is elegant and had everything we needed for the day of. The wedding party suites were comfortable and spacious, giving everyone plenty of space to get ready and spend the day together. We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding day. Thank you all so much for everything you did!

Absolutely loved working with the HPO over the course of a year as I planned my wedding. It provides you with the perfect clean-slate venue that allows you to bring in your own vendors and really make the place your own. The staff is so lovely to work with and made the process so easy. Special shout out to my wedding coordinator Sylvia, who I couldn’t have imagined the day without. She coordinated all of my vendors and told me where to go and when on the day-of, which made everything so easy. It’s 100% worth the money to get one because they know the vendors and space so well. Loved my experience at this absolutely gorgeous venue and wouldn’t have had it any other way. Thank you!

I can’t say enough great things about the HPO. The Historic Post office gave us our picture perfect wedding day that we envisioned. From our venue tour to the day of the wedding everything was amazing.
For starters, the building is BEAUTIFUL. The white brick, lighting, scalloped windows, and wooden floors are so pretty on their own, it gave us a great backdrop to add our personal touches onto. The bridal suite is amazing to get ready in, and the guys had a great time in the grooms suite.
Second, the staff at HPO runs a tight ship! The pricing is clear, concise and fair. There are different price points for different budgets. They were great at explaining add ons available like pro lighting, custom name added to the wall, Photo Booth etc which made our day even more custom and special. Everything went so smooth with the planning process over our year of planning.
And last, but certainly not least Ellie, our wedding coordinator is hands down THE BEST decision we made for our wedding. We worked with her the entire engagement and she made the planning process so easy and made the day of perfect! We had 4 meetings leading up to the wedding. She planned the day step by step with us throughout the year. She gave us great advice on picking the rest of our vendors. The day of, everything was executed flawlessly. Ellie kept us on our timeline and set everything up perfectly. She set up all of our decorations exactly how I had in my mind, it was great seeing everything come together after a year of planning. Adam and I didn’t have to worry about a thing, as she took care of EVERYTHING! The day was everything’s we wanted and more, we can’t thank Ellie and the rest of the HPO team enough.

We decided to go with The Historic Post Office as our wedding venue because they have these events down to a science. Everything leading up to the wedding went so smoothly with Ellie as our coordinator. Their existing relationships with vendors made that aspect so painless as well. The day of was fabulous too. Getting ready in the beautiful bridal suite, the elegance of the venue itself, and the flip between ceremony and reception was all perfect! We would definitely recommend HPO and Ellie to anyone looking to plan their wedding.

The Historic Post Office is an amazing wedding venue, and we would recommend it to anyone! We had about 180 guests for our mid July wedding, and HPO was able to fit everyone comfortably inside for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Communication was great from the start, and we loved that we could hire a HPO specific Wedding Planner to bring our event together. No other venue that we looked at offered something like that, and it helped us navigate our vendors and decoration with ease. Our planner, Ellie, was awesome, and we're so glad that she was able to help us over the course of multiple planning meetings in the months leading up to our wedding day! She truly helped make our day so special, and took care of everything the day of while we got ready. Our bridal party appreciated the large bridal suites upstairs, and our guests couldn't get over how unique and charming HPO was. Don't hesitate to book your wedding here!!

World class wedding facility! One stop shop for your venue and reception needs. I’m not sure I found a speck of dust in the entire building.

Great lighting. Great climate control. Great bathrooms. And TOP NOTCH suites for the bride and groom. You spend half your day in these suites and they have every amenity under the sun.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect fit for our wedding. The ladies at HPO were helpful from the day we booked until the day of our ceremony.

We had the pleasure of marrying last Saturday at this beautiful venue. Our coordinator, Ellie Bernstein was amazing. From start to finish she kept us on track, was thorough & her experience & organizational skills has made her a master of herding cats with patience, grace, thoughtfulness & attention to detail. Highly recommend this venue & Ellie to make your day the most wonderful day & your vision come true.

I don't have enough great things to say about the Historic Post Office. The venue is so beautiful, pictures do not do it justice. It's perfect for hosting a ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The getting ready suites are spacious and convenient. Their coordination services are amazing. They will make your entire day run smoothly and help you throughout the planning process. They made our wedding day so perfect and I 100% recommend them!

If you are looking for the best place to host your event in Hampton, you found it! I am a professional DJ and I work a few wedding events here every year and already have some lined up for next year. Before this year is over, I wanted to take the time and share with all review readers how grateful I am for the opportunity to be able to collaborate with such a great venue and the talented team that makes magic happen every time I am there. They communicate well with vendors, everything is always clean and looks amazing, and the layout options are awesome. The team here is also famous for their efficient room flips from ceremony to reception while guests enjoy cocktail hour in the upstairs space. I must shout out the head of the team, Madeline, who is a very experienced and knowledgeable problem solver and magic maker. She is always available to answer any questions I may have. The entire team surely goes above and beyond for their clients to have the best time ever. Go see for yourself, book your event here!

Nothing says a successful wedding like a night where everything is perfect. Our wedding was hosted at The Historic Post Office in the downtown Hampton area. This venue is everything you would want and more. The venue has an open floor plan with a balcony overlooking the first floor as well as a bridal and groom suite. Their suites include showers, washer/dryer machines, a pool table, a kitchen and more! During our morning there, we were able to relax and get ready while our day-of coordinator, Silvia, managed everything happening downstairs. Silvia was the most helpful person we have ever worked with. She coordinated all other vendors and set up all the decorations for us. If you use The Historic Post Office as your venue, we’d definitely suggest using one of their day-of coordinators! Everyone there is beyond professional and will certainly make your wedding the easiest and most enjoyable day possible.

Working with Ellie and the HPO team was incredible. We paid for the day of coordinator, and got a full fledged planner and life long friend out of it. The venue was flawless, and our guests were mesmerized by the inside of the venue. We would recommend 1,000 times.

We had such a wonderful experience with the HPO venue and their coordination service option. It’s their venue and boy do they know how to run the show. I’m sure that all of the coordinators are wonderful, but we were lucky to have had Ellie Bernstein beside us. We enjoyed every meeting leading up to the big day, helpful tips, and vendor recommendations. She helped us make sure things where addressed, gave us assignments, and was always available to answer questions. I can’t say enough about that because we opted to plan our own wedding and this was JUST the right support we needed. We still drove things—- but her wisdom was vital to our success. She helped execute our set up and breakdown perfectly. From what I hear the breakdown is always a bit of a scramble. That’s the only advice I’ll give is plan ahead (more then you think needed) to leave with things that night. There are always little things that happen with these events, behind the scenes, and I promise you don’t want to handle them on your most important day. You can trust the HPO team to have your back and have your best interests. I highly recommend.
The venue is gorgeous and a perfect canvas for however you want to make it your own event. The area is perfect with bars that are walking distance and a nice hotel around the corner. It’s the full package.

Such an amazing venue. From the expansive suites with kitchenette, foosball table, pool table, and ample prep space to the one-stop-shop capabilities, this was the perfect venue for our wedding. They have obviously spent a lot of time thinking about functionality and appearance and, from our booking until the wedding, a number of additional enhancements became available (additional napkin colors, etc) so they are continually evolving!

Also, I can’t speak highly enough about their coordination services. Our coordinator, Ellie, was very thorough and helped us figure out just exactly what we didn’t even know we wanted (we were all over the place but she gave us time to hone our decisions while offering insight as to what has been successful in past events (but never trying to push us to repeat or scale back).

Five stars all around!

The Historic Post Office in Hampton was a dream venue for our wedding! The inclusive packages offered an array of options for any celebration and the al a carte additional services available were awesome touches to add flare to the event. We had an incredible experience planning our wedding. Both our ceremony and reception were held at HPO. We had the pleasure of working with one of the in-house coordinators, Ellie, who was a gem and vital part of our special day! Ellie met with us several times and was always a text or phone call away to answer any questions or brainstorm about concerns. Her expertise helped guide us into the perfect elements of our wedding. Ellie was always kind, respectful, friendly and professional. For a bride like myself, who wanted to know every detail throughout the planning process, Ellie was a God send. She offered my mind and heart wisdom and relief in the exact right moments I needed it. Ellie made my wedding better. She made the day so much more enjoyable because of the peace of mind she offered. The HPO team, Ellie included, were all very responsive and helpful. They worked tirelessly the day of our event, and transformed each portion of our wedding into its own unique visual landscape. Of the venues we visited locally, none compare to the offerings or caliber of HPO. We could rave all day long about how much we loved HPO and how perfectly suited this venue was for our wedding day. HPO will proudly and forever be etched in our memories, for the rest of our lives.

We hosted our wedding at Historic Post Office last November, and it was a truly amazing experience. The building itself is absolutely gorgeous, with so many places to take beautiful wedding photos. The bistro lights wide archways give it a modern, but elegant feel. It was also one of the few places we looked at that had a bride suite and a groom suite, both huge, cute, and comfy for the hours leading up to our event as we got ready. The staff was so easy to work with - Kelsey and Madeline helping from booking until our day, being so accommodating during the challenges of the pandemic and so communicative in answering all our questions. We hired Ellie through the HPO as our day of coordinator, and she was a Rockstar and a blessing. She made us feel so comfortable and supportive of our unique wedding details. She went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly and look stunning, and could not have done it without her. We would not hesitate to recommend the Historic Post Office to anyone looking for a location to host a special event. Our time there was one we will never forget.

This is the one stop shop for all things wedding!!! The venue itself is absolutely stunning but the staff are the real treasure here. I had no clue what I was doing and they guided me through the whole thing making it stress free and they were extremely flexible along the way. All of the vendors they recommended/including were incredibly as well. Really a dream team!

The Historic Post Office was the first and only place we toured. I think the day after we saw it we signed our contract and picked our date. All the information they give you up front is super helpful as well as their preferred vendor list, which gave us a great starting point for choosing the rest of our vendors. The space itself is gorgeous on its own but it was nice to know their DOC service would handle everything too. We had Ellie as our coordinator and she was so sweet, helpful, fun, and made our wedding planning, wedding week, day and experience top notch. We loved the updates they keep adding - the vault/photo booth area was all cleared out and painted and looked great, the bridal suite to get ready in was well lit and comfortable, and the men's parlor was a blast for them. We loved that we didn't have to worry about weather or transportation and everything was all in the same spot. If you choose this venue, which you 100% should, definitely ask for Ellie - you won't be disappointed. The hotel across the street was super convenient as well as the bars / restaurants / coffee & donut shops and area had everything we could want. We may be bias but we had the best experience, the most fun, and beautiful wedding here!

The HPO was the perfect place for our big day and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. The venue was the perfect size and it’s gorgeous in of itself. My husband and I actually had another tour booked for after our tour with the HPO that we cancelled because we knew we wanted to book with them. Madeline and Kelsey are wonderful to work with and are very responsive to any emails I sent them. The venue hosted our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception easily and held every moment of our day exactly where we wanted it. I can’t recommend the HPO enough!

This was the perfect venue for our wedding! We were able to have both our ceremony and reception here and it was everything we could have asked for! Highly recommend having your wedding here as well as utilizing their day of coordination- it took the stress out of everything!
