We really could not have been happier with Ceresville for our 7/9 Sunday morning wedding. From the very first day we met with Ceresville staff, we were treated with respect and all of our questions, no matter how small, were answered. We are a lesbian couple and they were super-supportive of this—it never felt awkward or forced. The cost at first seems high, but compared to what you get in return it was incredibly reasonable. We had a small wedding, with about 60 guests, and instead of forcing us to pay for a minimum number of people, Ceresville gave us a minimum amount we had to hit—so we picked really nice main courses, added a sundae bar, etc, and that got us there. Another thing we liked was the “inclusiveness” of the cost. The price of Ceresville included things like tables, chairs, linens, cake stand, plates and silverware. Other places required you to bring or rent your own of these things—can you imagine having to wash 60+ dishes the night after your wedding?? Or carrying that home in your car? We couldn’t. The expense of these items adds up! On the day of, we never wanted for anything. Before we could express a need, someone from the staff was there offering assistance. All of our personal items were set up while we got ready, with no help needed from either of us. The ceremony was held on site, on the patio, and Ceresville coordinated with our DJ and officiant in an expert manor to make sure things went very smoothly. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the beauty of the venue, the taste of the food and the efficiency and kindness of the staff. At the end of the reception, my mother and sister-in-law were impressed because Ceresville had basically already packed up all of our things and the staff carried them to the car for them, so most of our immediate family was on the road only 20 minutes after us! It really couldn’t have been a more perfect day, and if we could give more than five stars to this fantastic venue, and it’s wonderful staff—especially Stephanie, our wedding planner, and Jessica, our day-of coordinator—we totally would. Thank you so much, Ceresville, for a wonderful day for us and our families.

I cannot say enough good things about Ceresville. I worked with Jenni for the past year to plan my fairy tale wedding and she was extraordinary to work with. Like most Brides I wanted my wedding to be perfect. I would call Jenni on a very regular basis to get her opinions or to have her send me pictures of random things around the mansion. It was important to me that I paid attention to all of the little details and to ensure that everything would match and look picture perfect! Whether I wanted to see plates, tablecloths, napkins or cake stands, Jenni was more than happy to personally get a picture and send it my way. Having planned weddings for years, Jenni was a great resource for information and guidance! Jenni made me feel like I was the only bride planning a wedding that year! I felt valued, appreciated and like she genuinely cared about me. Hands down my wedding day was a success because of the hard work and dedication that Jenni offered to me throughout the year. On the day of my wedding, we worked with Robby and he was just as great. I showed up with my bridesmaids and he welcomed us with a glass of champagne and a warm hug hello! After settling in I realized I had forgotten to brush my teeth!! Eeek! No problem, Robby opens a drawer and hands me a packet of toothbrushes! I cannot count the times he rescued me that evening! From searching for my lost garter, to helping to set up the mansion with my countless knickknacks, to locating the lost petals for the flower girl baskets, he put out one flame after the other, with a smile on his face, ensuring my day went smooth and was everything that I had envisioned. He was my behind the scenes lifesaver! My husband says that if Robby ever leaves his career at Ceresville, we will be snagging him to work with us! He is one of the hardest working guys, who handle’s high pressure situations better than anyone we have ever met. Ceresville Mansion exceeded my wildest expectations. I truly enjoyed working with them and highly recommend them for any function that you may be planning!

When I was 16 I came to Ceresville for a wedding ceremony (did not stay for reception) and ever since then this venue always stuck out in my mind. I did not know the name of the venue I just remembered the beautiful pergola, reflecting pool, & atmosphere. Ever since then I wanted an outdoor wedding. When it was time to look for venues I searched and search then I asked my mom if she had remembered this particular venue. She remembered the location and looked it up and sure it enough it was the venue I had remembered. The next morning we called and set an appointment to check the venue. They were very helpful with everything. If you are military I would strongly suggest this venue. They have a great military rate. Since day one they have been so helpful. Jessica was amazing to work with, she always responded in a timely manner & made me feel comfortable asking her anything & everything! I strongly advise going to a tasting so that you can get an idea of the different & delicious food they offer. I needed a vegetarian option & they were more than happy to make the vegetarian option for the night of the tasting. The food is amazing so if you arent able to make it to a tasting have no worries the food will be great. --The tasting night also gives one an idea of how an event will be set up. Ceresville is a very organized & helpful venue. They made wedding planning a breeze. Rehearsal could not have gone any better. It was very stress free thanks to Jennifer! Jennifer made the rehearsal & our wedding day as stress free as could be. It is nice they have an option for rain & they also let you have the choice to have it indoor or outdoor depending on the weather. It almost rained during our ceremony but we wanted to have it outside rain or shine! (there would be seats for people inside) I am beyond happy with how our wedding went & everything Ceresville in preparation for it. They made our wedding more beautiful & enjoyable than I could imagine.

This is the first thing I have ever reviewed and the only reason I did is because they are SO good. I had my wedding here a few months ago and I have to say, the service is amazing! the staff was friendly and extremely capable/knowledgable. From the moment I met them to driving away they showed themselves wonderful to work with and worth every penny. My coordinator had great suggestions as I planned out all the details and was willing to completely rework the package to work with my budget AND I got even better food than I expected. They had lots of pretty linens to choose from which cut down on the cost significantly. I do suggest going to a tasting. Im not the kind of person to go and pay for extra things like that, but I went and it totally changed my menu options- some things I thought I would like and was planning on ordering I ended up switching out for something I would have never picked but liked much better. Not to mention it was lots of fun! Also the coordinator on the day-of/rehearsal was AMAZING. Ive been in quite a few weddings and seen the rehearsals of even more and Ive never seen anyone as good at what they do as he was! And on top of all that the venue is gorgeous, perfect for 100-150 people. Each room is unique and lovely and the outdoor setup was gorgeous as well. The whole place needed very little decorating (budget-friendly!) because it was so beautiful in and of itself. If you have the money, and its your style- go for it!
