Reviews for Jefferson Street Mansion
Absolutely stunning location!!!! My cousin just had their wedding here a couple weeks ago. The pictures really don't do it justice. The mansion inside and out is gorgeous. The tent for the reception is beautiful. The bridal suite is breath-taking. Even the bathrooms are worth seeing. The grounds are well manicured with sculptures and beautiful landscaping. The service was ok. There were a few times that I offered to get the bride and groom something to drink. For the price I know the paid, I think they shouldn't have ever been empty handed. Its a bit pricey, but the location is superb! Overall, this place is worth seeing in person!
They do have a lift and her BM did go inside for a while. The lift only goes to the first floor though (main floor). It doesn't go upstairs (just bedrooms up there). So don't plan on a HM there if you or your FI is needs a wheelchair.
I can't say enough about Reed and Jefferson Street Mansion. I LOVE them! I've worked many events there (providing cake) and it's always a breeze! They run everything so smooth and easy - it's like a well oiled machine. I always know everything will be prepared and waiting for me just as the bridal couple has requested and receive a warm welcome from Reed and staff upon arrival.
Again, can't say enough... =)
Best,

Just Gorgeous. My #1 spot and I got it..... If you are even considering this place. Hopefully you are getting married a year from now. Every weekend is booked. Crazy but I defiantly know why now. If you want to pretend you live back in the day and were totally rich. Here you go for one day this is your house. The guest can walk around and feel as if they are in a historical museum. Reed the owner went above and beyond to make this place PERFECT. From the Beers on Tap to the Curtain tie backs. Everything is how it should be and is always from the highest quality of standards. I had the best time and I can't stop hearing about how much fun everyone else did her as well. It is true, the people make the party but with this backdrop even the boringest people couldn't say they had a bad night if they tried. It was the day any little princess dreams of. One word of caution. Read your contract over and over again. No matter how nice people can be the contract in the end is all it comes down to. Just be careful I did make a few mistakes that cost me over budget. But in the end it didn't make a difference. The time was worth a million dollars once the night was over. I am totally above and beyond satisfied with the decisions I had made in going with reserving this Mansion for our wedding. I trust my gut instinct you will want to kick yourself if you don't reserve this place for your wedding NOW. It's all over for me and no way would I have wanted to get married anywhere else still. Please take a tour, you hardly need to decorate yourself it's so detailed. I fell in love with it just on line and in person it is honestly breath taking. The staff is very friendly and are there to make your night what you want it so let them in to who you are and make it YOUR wedding. Have FUN!!!!!! And don't worry I drove them crazy with a million and two questions, e-mails, requests, concerns, recommendations and never once did they make me feel like I needed to stop. Very responsive and helpful.Tour: http://tour.circlepix.com/tour.htm?id=269643&refurl
The location is beautiful (the reason for the one star). Our experience with the mansions owner started out fine, and she seemed quite genuinely helpful. She gave us a tour of the mansion and discussed pricing with us at length, with regards to the use of the mansion, the mansion beverage service, (quite pricey) and the catering. We knew she could only give us an approximate price as we would be choosing one of her top caterers at a later date. We left and she sent us our contract in the mail. When we read the contract we noticed that the estimated price we were previously given did not acually include caterering as she had previously stated. We called the owner and were told "we were reading it wrong" and we were given the same price, so we signed and paid our first deposit to secure our date. I KNOW! I KNOW! STUPID RIGHT! When it was time to secure a caterer we called the owner and went over the pricing again ( because in hindsight it was still bothering us ) Well, we realized our mistake big time. We were right all along the pricing was only for the mansion and their beverage service that you must use. So we left and moved on losing our deposit. So bottom line make sure before you secure your date here get all your costs up front and in writing. We found the experience to be a hard lesson. Dont believe everything you are told, no matter how nice someone seems to come across. Apparently this has happened before at this venue according to other web sites. We moved on, and had a fabulous wedding elsewhere.
