I just got married here on July 28th, 2013, and I couldnt possibly be happier! The venue is gorgeous and has on-site ceremony and reception facilities. The old house is beautiful on the inside and out and has dedicated space in it for the groom and bride to prepare that is not only functional but beautiful in photographs. They have their own list of "preferred vendors" but there is no punishment or extra cost for choosing a vendor not on their list. However their list of preferred vendors is fantastic and the people I choose were amazing, high quality, and affordable so please check them out even if you dont get married here! Nancy and Kevin are an absolute delight and are incredibly helpful! Kevin did an amazing job with our ceremony trying to help us create an interfaith Jewish/Christian ceremony. My guests are still raving about the wonderful, funny, professional, and beautiful job he did as our officiant. Nancy was there to help with every step of the way and did it with grace and professionalism. She helped me plan, was easy to contact for advice or assistance, and had honest reviews of vendors that I really appreciated. Oh and she did it all with a smile... how she does this after encountering multiple stressed brides is a mystery but she maintains a pleasant, calm, and professional demeanor that made an otherwise stressful planning event feel like it was nothing we couldnt handle together. I didnt have a single problem with this venue in either the planning or day of services. Actually they exceeded my expectations and I am truly impressed with the staff and location. After getting married here, I cant imagine going anywhere else for a wedding because the venue is gorgeous and most importantly the staff care about YOU and work hard to make sure your wedding is exactly what you hope it will be and more!

My husband and I were married at the Ainsworth House and Gardens in October. What caught our eye initially about the Ainsworth House and Gardens was the option of an indoor/ outdoor ceremony and reception, the beautiful grounds and house, as well as the bridal and grooms suites. Since our first visit to the venue to the moment we left after the event every staff member of the Ainsworth House was nothing but friendly and accommodating. During our first visit we received a list of trusted vendors, information of payments, ceremony options with a packet of information, and received a full tour of the grounds. We definitely felt as if we were treated like family. Kevin officiated our wedding and we had a great chat with him prior to the wedding that allowed us to dive deeper into what marriage meant to us as a couple. Kevin made the ceremony serious but comedic and created an inviting environment. We received several compliments from our guests about how much they loved the ceremony. Nancy was a huge help and I could not have been more thankful. Nancy would contact us during specific months prior to the wedding to discuss important aspects of the wedding and get an update. Nancy also requested our vendors information so if someone was running late the day of she would contact them. Nancy made the day stress free (as much as possible) and she really acted as a stand in wedding planner and ensured that everything went smoothly such as the procession, toast, cake, etc. Our wedding was everything we imagined and if we could do it over again we would choose the Ainsworth House.

My husband and I got married at the Ainsworth House and Gardens on October 5th 2013. From the moment we walked onto the grounds of Ainsworth House and Gardens we felt at home. The setting at the Ainsworth House was BREATH TAKING! Everywhere you looked you could see the care, love, and attention that this beautiful venue receives from the proprietor Kevin and all the wonderful staff. We first met with Kevin during our tour; he spent well over an hour with us showing us around, answering all our questions, and making us feel at ease. Both my husband and I knew almost immediately that this was the place we wanted to get married. Everything that the Ainsworth House and Garden are told us during our tour they followed through with we got exactly what we expected if not much more! The Ainsworth House and Gardens has a wonderful outline that they use to make sure that all the important details of a wedding day are not forgotten. Everybody that we worked with at the Ainsworth House and Gardens were friendly, kind, and seemed genuinely interested in helping us with what can be an overwhelming process. Nancy, the coordinator at Ainsworth House, was prompt in responding to questions or concerns that we might have. We choose to get married under the giant pine tree that is on their property at sunset and had Kevin preform the ceremony. I have had multiple guests tell me that it was “the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended”. I would highly recommend the Ainsworth House and Gardens to anybody.

We had our daughter’s wedding at the Ainsworth House & Gardens on June 29, 2013. It was an outdoor wedding on a beautiful sunny day and we could not be more pleased with how well everything turned out. Along with this being an absolutely lovely setting for an outdoor wedding with the beautiful old house (built in the 1850’s) and the surrounding flowering gardens, grounds and facilities, Nancy and Kevin are the absolute best. Nancy helped us all along the way with all the planning and organization details and was on top of everything on the big day. She did an excellent job keeping everything on schedule and kept us all on track too, when needed. Kevin was so much fun and performed a wonderful ceremony. The quality of the various preferred vendors they recommended for the food, flowers, cake, photography, music, etc were all quality professionals that they regularly use and were excellent. This saved us a ton of time and greatly reduced our risk exposure to potentially problematic people dropping the ball and causing wedding day disasters (but you can use your own people or do it all yourself if you want). The day was a busy one but the ceremony and all associated reception activities went off smoothly without a hitch. The wedding was beautiful, everyone had a great time and we all walked away with some wonderful memories captured on film and video that we’ll cherish forever. Thank you so much Nancy and Kevin. You are the best!! Sincerely, Chuck & Diane Marshall

What a gem of a place in the middle of a residential area! And the folks who run things, wow! When I got there, I realized that the pictures online dont do it justice. What a beautiful space. I arrived in between ceremonies, while one was in reception and prior to the next group getting there. It being a residential neighborhood, we heard neighbors mowing, blowing leaves, hammering on the roof. It was a concern. We were greeted by Kevin, the proprietor, who was able to squeeze us in at the last minute. We were sure itd be a rush job-- heres a brochure, heres the grounds, now get out. Not at all so. We felt like we were the only people there for the next hour or so of touring the grounds and going over possibilities. What a host! We were nervous at the beginning of our venue search, and Kevin made us feel right at home. Oh-- we didnt even have to bring up the neighborhood noises. Kevin informed us that the venue has a very good relationship with the neighbors, and he informs each of them the times of ceremonies. The neighbors happily agree to cease any noisy behavior. What a deal! I cant say enough about our experience there and the beautiful grounds & house. The pricing is very fair and upfront, and Kevin was willing to discuss ways we could save on costs. In the end we went with a venue offered to us by a good friend, but I absolutely felt like Ainsworth would have been our choice had an undeniable offer been given to us. What a place!
