We’re so excited to be having our wedding at Aldie Mansion! From the moment we toured the venue, we were blown away by its historic charm and beautiful gardens—it truly feels like a hidden gem. The space is elegant, romantic, and full of character.
Working with Jeffrey A. Miller Catering has also been a fantastic experience so far. Their attention to detail, menu options, and professionalism have made the planning process smooth and enjoyable.
We can’t wait to celebrate our big day here and know it’s going to be unforgettable!

We are so excited to be getting married at Aldie Mansion! The venue is absolutely stunning. We fell in love with the historic charm of the mansion and the gorgeous gardens in the courtyard. It's an added bonus that they work exclusively with JAM Catering, whose food is just incredible and they prioritize sustainability, which is important to us.

I could go on and on about how fabulous the entire crew at Aldie Mansion was! From the first tour we had with Kim to our planning experience with Nicole to our actual wedding weekend/day with Desiree, every step of the way was done to perfection. Kim Bates was extremely helpful at the beginning, answering my many questions and preparing us for our food tasting and overall event planning. Nicole Potts was the best event designer we could have asked for. She made our day so special, and truly took care of us at each and every turn. Nicole’s attention to detail is unmatched - I truly never felt stressed, because I knew Nicole always had my back. We needed a few accommodations for some of our guests and she was more than happy to help out to ensure all our guests had the best time. Nicole and the team also made sure that our Italian Cookie Table was displayed and executed perfectly – not a small ask, and it was down exactly as we imagined!
At our rehearsal and wedding day, Desiree made sure everything was executed to perfection. She continuously checked in on us to bring us food or drinks and make sure we had everything we needed/wanted. Because we didn’t do a first look, we weren’t able to catch our cocktail hour, but Desiree made sure all our hors d'oeuvres were in the bridal suite waiting for us, and made sure to give us time just us between the ceremony + reception. It was so thoughtful, and we truly appreciated that time together (and the food). Speaking of the food, JAM catering hit it out of the park! Everything was delicious – we looked around at one point, and dinner plates were completely empty! Aldie Mansion and the team at JAM made our day so beyond special. We are so glad we chose this venue – it was an absolute dream!

At the end of the day, Aldie Mansion created a magical wedding day. The venue was perfect for my whimsical yet elegant affair with beautiful garden grounds and English manor. I highly recommend paying the extra fee to get ready on site. The aesthetic was perfect for getting ready pictures and vibes. We opted to get married in the Tea Garden vs in front of the big tree, which I think was also special and dramatic with the long aisle to walk down. The food by in house JAM Catering was so good including the chocolate bourbon cake, which says a lot coming from someone who isn't a big sweet tooth. The flow of the day was also impeccable. We were able to try the food and even sit during dinner to finish our main meals. The Aldie Team helps to set decor up and really had an eye for detail, which I appreciated.
I will note that leading up to the wedding was a bit bumpy 2 months out. My initial coordinator was not attentive to details, but once I reached out to the Sales Director, she was extremely helpful, accommodating, and understanding. She was able to get everything on track and then some. I'd still recommend Aldie Mansion to any couple!

Timeless & Elegant Wedding Venue
From the moment we walked up to the front of the mansion in June 2023, we knew this was the perfect place for our April 2024 wedding. Aldie Mansion and the grounds are simply breathtaking! From the initial meeting with Kim Bates to the detail planning stages with Monika Zadroga, the entire process was fabulous. Monika stepped in after a small hiccup with the prior event planner and we couldn’t have been more impressed by her attention to detail, walking us through each step and what to expect. She was extremely accommodating with some of the cultural components we wanted to add to our day! Aldie mansion and the entire staff were incredibly attentive and ensuring we had a stress free day! And the food - no words… our guests are still raving about it! Highly recommend this venue for a magical and elegant experience.

The Aldie Mansion looked like castle straight out of a storybook. Between the beautiful gothic architecture of the exterior of the property to the balance rustic/modern design of the building's interior, you are instantly transported into a place far beyond your wildest dreams.
While the building itself speaks volumes of the classiness of this venue, the real stars that shine is the staff that runs the place. When we went to Aldie Mansion for our group tasting, we were pampered so much that we felt like royalty.
It is because of all these reasons that my fiancé and I are looking forward to our wedding in June.

We got married at Aldie Mansion on 5/20/2023 and it was an absolute dream!!! From the first time we visited the venue in May 2021, we knew it was perfect for us. The mansion and the grounds have so much charm, truly picturesque. Catherine was our coordinator and she was amazing to work with - she answered all of our questions and always kept us on track with so we weren’t stressed leading up the wedding day. Weather was not looking good the week of, so the team was very communicative as to what our options were if it was rainy. Our ceremony site got changed the day before our wedding due to work being done on the front patio, but Catherine was quick to help us pivot and use the back garden instead which was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. Catherine did such a good job keeping us on schedule throughout the day, while also letting us enjoy our party. JAM Catering was great as well, the food options were amazing and they sent us home with plenty of leftovers since we didn’t get to eat it all on our wedding night. Our guests were so impressed with the venue and food, we were getting questions all night asking how we found such a perfect venue!

Fantastic food and service in a beautiful venue. Monika and team have be helpful and responsive in resolving all our questions and continue to do so as we approach our wedding date. Having been to multiple JAM catered weddings we have the highest confidence in the food quality and the mansion itself is just the kind of idyllic setting we were hoping to find for a classy, special night!

My future husband and I are getting married at Aldie Mansion this year and recently attended our group wedding tasting at the venue. JAM Catering is the exclusive caterer, and boy did they knock it out of the park. The group tasting was a great opportunity to test out a wide variety of JAM’s catering menu – including numerous options for signature cocktails, butlered hors d’oeuvres, cocktail stations, dinner entrees, and cake (shout out to the Arnold Palmer pound cake with buttercream frosting and lemon custard filling)! Each dish lived up to JAM’s renowned reputation, and we left with full stomachs and full hearts. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and an added bonus was the opportunity to chat with other couples getting married at the venue. Aldie Mansion and the its grounds are truly breathtaking, and the tasting was a great opportunity to see what our venue will look and feel like on our wedding day. The tasting affirmed we made the right decision picking Aldie Mansion and JAM catering, and made us even more excited for our big day!

My fiance and I attended a JAM catering tasting event at Aldie Mansion that was excellent. The staff was attentive, the food was delicious, and the venue was beautiful. We are getting married at Curtis Arboretum, another JAM location, but after seeing Aldie Mansion, know that couples would be very happy at this venue. Everything at the event ran smoothly and you will be in good hands with JAM catering. We can't wait for our wedding!

Aldie helped make our wedding the day of our dreams! Not only is it a beautiful venue, but their food was excellent, they helped us to find many of our vendors, and guests loved the indoor/ outdoor flow. They allowed for a lot fo customization in terms of decorating and the menu as we had some dietary requests. The great part about the building being so beautful is that it didn't need too much extra in terms of decorations.
The only con I had was working with our coordinator, Kim. She always took many days to respond and didn't always follow up when she said she needed to get more information to be able to answer my questions. In the end it turned out well, but it was a little nerve wracking in the planning process.

Our September, 2022 wedding at Aldie Mansion was a dream come true! I echo other reviews that say it felt like the experience was taking place in your own private residence- intimate, exclusive, and magical. The venue was beautiful with gorgeous period details, meticulous landscaping, and lovely gardens. Because of this, I did not feel we needed to spend a ton of money and effort on over the top decor. JAM Catering went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of throughout the night and they truly delivered on their reputation for hot and delicious food. We had about 120 guests and everyone was so impressed and satisfied. Our coordinator, Monika, was very easy to stay in touch with throughout the planning process and she was on top of every detail even before we were. Monika was patient with my husband and I and always gave us transparent answers to our questions, which was important as neither of us had ever planned an event like this before. We hired the photographer and alcohol retailer (you must bring in your own alcohol at Aldie, which really helped us control the total cost) from their preferred vendor list and could not be more satisfied with them. What stood out to me the most in the entire experience was how much the JAM staff helped out with the setup of everything in the hours leading up to the guests arriving. We were able to drop everything off the day before and keep it in a closet overnight. I was very worried about timing everything correctly when arriving at Aldie (setting up decorations, changing into my dress, first look, photos, etc.) because JAM states very clearly what they will and won't help setup in their contract and I brought in the majority of my decor, including my flowers. When I arrived ready to get to work 2.5 hours before the guests started arriving, I was delighted to find that a good 95% of the setup was already done! Thank you JAM and Aldie Mansion for a truly spectacular wedding day!

Every aspect of our wedding celebration at Aldie Mansion went above and beyond our expectations. We fell in love with the stunning Tudor mansion back in 2019 and were so excited to finally hold our wedding celebration in 2022. Every item on our menu (and it was an extensive menu— we did not hold back on food!) was delicious and beautifully presented. JAM ensured that all of our guests’ dietary needs were accommodated. Multiple guests told us it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. Crissi, our venue coordinator, worked with us since 2019 and made sure that everything ran smoothly on the day of. The entire JAM staff were so kind and friendly and really took care of our guests.

Our wedding was June 2022 and Aldie and JAM catering made it the best day ever! The venue is breathtaking, we got so many compliments on how unique and beautiful it was, not to mention that we have the entire building. The food was delicious, and all of our guest's dietary restrictions were catered to. Our MOH had some pretty intense ones, and was so impressed with her meal! Our day-of coordinator, Hannah exceeded all of our expectations and hopes. When we were told we were having a day of coordinator I did not expect the level of commitment, detail, time, and effort that Hannah put into planning our wedding. She did a phenomenal job prior to day of, making sure details, considerations, and our wishes were all captured and organized. Day of, Hannah went above and beyond in keeping things, organized, us stress-free and able to enjoy our day, and showed incredible flexibility and hospitality when we decided to mid reception to extend the reception by an hour. Mid reception, if there was anything that was needed all we had to do was say her name and she was on it. With regards to after, Hannah did a wonderful job making sure all of our belongings were packed and organized. We can’t thank her, Aldie, and JAM enough.

We are getting married this August and cannot wait to show off the hidden gem of Doylestown! The mansion is beautiful, historic, and one of a kind. But what really sold it for us is the beautiful, spacious, and light and airy ballroom. And of course…the water fountains and THE TREE 😍 there really is no venue like this and Jeffery A. Muller catering runs an incredible event. Crissi our coordinator could not be nicer or more helpful. I really am so excited and can’t say enough good things!

A while back my fiancé and I attended JAM Catering group tasting at Aldie Mansion. While our wedding will be at Bishop Farmstead, the organizers were kind enough to allow us to attend the event at a different location due to scheduling conflicts. This was great, because we got to see one of JAM's other venue partners. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their locations because they are all so beautiful. While I am in love with Bishop Farmstead, the location we booked, Aldie Mansion is another gorgeous location! The venue gives off dream-home vibes and doesn’t feel like your typical venue. My fiancé and I treated the tasting like a night out, which was easy to do because the staff made the whole evening so enjoyable. Of course, the true star of the night was the food! I don’t know how anyone can choose their menu from such wonderful meal, dessert, and station options! We are definitely going to have a tough time choosing our favorites! However, we did come away with a few favorites. The BBQ in a jar was our favorite station, and fits the feel of Bishop, which is a farm. Our favorite meal was the Yuzu Glazed Chicken; the sauce is amazing! Our favorite dessert option was the boozy mini milkshakes. I think our guests will definitely enjoy those! Of course, you can’t go wrong with any of the JAM options. Everything was delicious!

Aldie Mansion was such a stunning and unique wedding venue. It was perfect for us, and only a few minutes from the church (St. Paul's). Entering the gorgeous property and seeing the sprawling 1920s mansion, the English style gardens and the huge stately old oak tree covered in white Christmas lights was a truly beautiful and transporting experience for us and all of our guests. We sought a unique location for our Doylestown wedding & we definitely found it. Our guests gave us so much good feedback about how beautiful the mansion was & everyone had excellent photo opportunities all around the gorgeously decorated interior & exterior of the house. It was decorated for Christmas at the time, which made it an even more special experience. Thank you to the team at Aldie!

Positives: The venue is gorgeous! We got so many compliments. The bartenders were fantastic. The food was stellar. Much better than your typical wedding food. Staff was friendly and welcoming.
Negatives: With COVID, the JAM wedding planners seem overwhelmed and not very responsive. This is probably due to being understaffed (like all industries) but it makes it tough to plan when you’re waiting to hear back for days (sometimes weeks) at a time. Keep bugging them to get back to you. Our planner was nice and did a good job of setting up the venue and all of our decor. Unfortunately, she wasn't at our rehearsal and the ceremony was initially set up wrong. She also kept coming to the groom with questions the whole day, which made us feel like she was unsure of how our ceremony was supposed to run. There was also a 30% chance of rain and I pulled our JAM planner aside and asked her if it was a good idea to move forward with an outdoor plan if there was a chance it might rain. She didn't really advise me one way or ther other, just said it would probably be fine. As the sky began to darken, she didn’t ever consult me again and didn't want to be the one to make the decision. We were really depending on her expertise and professional opinion to help us, especially since were dealing with so many moving parts on our wedding day and didn’t have time to be checking the weather every hour. As soon as our guests were seated outside for the ceremony, there was a downpour of rain and we had to watch them run inside for cover. It was heartbreaking and I ended up crying before walking down the asile because I was so overwhelmed and disappointed with how that went down (not really the mindset you want to be in before getting married). I had several people tell us they thought our JAM planner should have made the call for us and shouldn't have forced us to make the decision. Maybe JAM doesn’t want to be responsible for a rain plan decision, but the refusal to make a call, and to leave it completely in our hands caused more stress and ultimately made everything worse.
To top it off, we postponed our wedding from October 2020 to October 2021 due to COVID. We had originally booked a date on a Saturday, but in order to move to a Saturday the following year we had to lose $6,000 to rebook. None of our other vendors did this to us. If we opted for a week day it would be free, but we had originally PAID for a Saturday and we wanted what we had paid for. They told us they were reserving those new Saturdays for their 2022 couples (which made us feel like as a 2020 couple we didn't mean as much to them as their new customers since they already had our money). We ended up paying extra and losing our money to have a Saturday again, but they wouldn't budge in this policy, which was unfortunate. My suggestion for folks who choose this venue would be this: Do not rely on the JAM planners to support you as a normal planner might. Hire an outside planner to be with you that day, someone you trust to make informed decisions and take stress off of you and who can answer the vendor's questions so you can just relax. It was still a beautiful wedding, just unfortunate that we had a mixed experience with JAM as a whole with the planning and business side of things.

We could not have asked for a more supportive or flexible team! Working with Kim made us feel at ease, which was not easy given the postponements and venue change that occurred during our planning due to Covid. Kim made sure that we had everything we needed and then some, and our wedding day turned out better than we could have imagined, and was so worth the wait! Our guests were blown away by the beauty of Aldie Mansion and could not stop talking about how much they loved the food! We fell in love with Aldie Mansion when we had out tasting there, and we feel so lucky that we were able to have our celebration at a place that we loved and got to work with a team that went above and beyond for us! The night captain, Dominique, was the warmest, kindest and most fun person that we could have asked for running the show for us later in the night! He always checked in with us to see if we needed anything and kept us smiling throughout the party! Thank you JAM, Kim, Dominique and everyone who made our wedding day the best day we could have ever asked for!

From the sales staff to our wedding planner, we are so deeply appreciative to be working with such a professional and committed team. We remain very hopeful that we will be able to keep our June 2020 date and not have to postpone due to COVID19. Our hearts break for all the couples facing rescheduling during this pandemic. Everyone at Aldie and Jeffrey A. Miller Catering has been beyond helpful and kind to us as we navigate these uncertain times. Couldn’t have hoped for a better experience!

This venue is gorgeous and unique. It feels like a dream home, not a wedding hall. Regardless of season, you have a beautiful backdrop due to the grounds and architecture.I want to break this up into 2 very different sections: The lead-up to the wedding and the wedding itself
Wedding day: Phenomenal.
-The food was delicious, everything ranged from good to great, I had multiple guests tell me this was some of / the very best wedding food they've ever had.
-The staff were attentive and consistently present. They set up all of our signs and pictures and candles in a beautiful and thoughtful manner. The bartender was absurdly friendly and great with the guests. They constantly tended the fireplace in a way that didn't disrupt our guests.
-The dropoff process and communication in the week leading up was clear, expectations were clearly made as to what we needed.
-When little things went wrong day-of, the wedding coordinator did a great job of rolling with it
-As a result of the amazing work of Crissi, the coordinator, and the staff, we honestly have only positive impressions of our wedding at Aldie mansion
Lead up to the wedding: Rough. Very rough.
-I think that a large part of our poor experience stemmed from our initial "wedding planner." I say that in quotations because Aldie "comes with a wedding planner", but it's a bit of a misnomer because really they're more a representative of JAM catering, who is the only caterer for Aldie, and day-of coordinator at the venue. This is the person through which you order your food, plan the day, figure out staffing, etc - so everything Aldie Mansion and catering related. So yes, they do a good bit more than a typical catering representative, but they are NOT the classic wedding planner you expect
- I am unsure if they were short staffed, but the primary manager said she would be our planner after we reached out because we had not been informed of who our coordinator would be after the time frame provided to us by the company. This lead to multiple problems: Rough / delayed communication, incomplete information on the available food, delayed meeting start time, feeling pressured into certain choices. Overall the whole experience just felt uncomfortable because we were promised this great personalized wedding experience but whenever we had questions or requests we were made to feel like burdens. I wrote more details, but TheKnot has character limits in their reviews, so the more detailed version is at wedding wire if you're interested.
This all led to us requesting a different planner, things went much smoother at that point onward and we feel the replacement did a great job. Crissi was beyond amazing. She was consistently responsive, had wonderful ideas and recommendations, and was either able to explain why some things would not be feasible or let us know that things like that are routinely done and therefore were a non-issue, despite what our previous coordinator had said. Day of, we knew there was nothing we had to worry about with Crissi, and this ended up 100% being the case. If you get the chance, I highly recommend requesting her.
So in full - did we have an amazing wedding experience and were they totally on their game in the week beforehand? Absolutely. Was the road there long and tortuous and unnecessarily stressful? Absolutely until Crissi took over

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Aldie this past September. Aldie's grounds are beautiful and our guests loved being able to explore all the different rooms and areas throughout the yards. The venue was able to cater to all of our guests as we had people dancing inside, people walking the grounds, people sitting around the lit fire pit, and people playing yard games. Though the weather ended up being nice, we had a tent set up outside (provided by the site) with our second bar underneath it. This ended up being perfect because some people hung outside on the porch since there were lights from the tent illuminating the area. The food was amazing and our wedding coordinator, Monika, was absolutely fantastic. Monika was quick to answer all my questions and she made sure everything ran smoothly the day of. We have had nothing but compliments from our guests about the venue itself and all of the staff. I highly recommend this wedding venue!!

We love Aldie Mansion! We attended a wedding there three years ago and kept coming back to it every time we thought of where we would like to get married. When we visited again it was even more perfect than we remembered. The outdoor space is amazing, the building is spectacular, and the staff is wonderful. Catherine was our planner and she was my lifeline! She answered every question, thought of everything, and coordinated a perfect day. Everything went perfectly.

We were married here in April 2019 and had the most perfect day. We were sold on Aldie Mansion within 2 minutes of our first visit and feel so lucky to have had our wedding at this gorgeous venue. The building itself from the outside is simply stunning and the unique rooms of the mansion, renovated ballroom, amazing outdoor space with the tree, and location fit all of our needs. Crissi was amazing as our day-of coordinator who helped us with the whole planning process and we were impressed with all of the staff involved on the day of our wedding. I cannot recommend this venue enough as well as JAM catering and their staff!

We had our wedding at The Aldie Mansion and we could not have picked a more beautiful place. Our ceremony was outside in the tea garden and the reception was held in the grand ballroom. The architecture and amenities of the mansion are absolutely beautiful. The staff is very accommodating along with their exclusive caterer. Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a mansion style wedding in PA

Our wedding was in March of 2018. We can't say enough great things about Aldie Mansion and Jam Catering. The venue and service is still getting buzz from our guests 11 months later. Our wedding is the wedding to beat amongest our friends. Kim was my planner and we mostly emailed or chatted on the phone. Trust the process. She put me at ease along with offering gentle advice. They made this mansion estate feel cozy like home. We didn't want to leave. The food and cake people still rave about. Kim and our party captain were really great to us. We want to come back year after year if we could. The only downside was the weather with a blizzard 2 days before...but the staff put us at ease. No meltdowns for me! Thank you for the quality service, great food in a setting that was breathtaking.

My husband and I just got married at Aldie on October 27th, 2018. Given that it has rained on just about every important day in our relationship, we were looking for a wedding venue that was stunning both inside and out, just in case. When it inevitably turned out to be cold, rainy and windy on our wedding day, Aldie did not disappoint. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous and it truly was a fairy tale wedding. Thanks to Heritage Conservancy for this beautiful space and to Jeffrey Miller for executing a perfect night for us!

We were so happy with how our wedding came together at Aldie Mansion. It's a beautiful historic venue with an amazing team behind it. We worked with Kim Bates and she always went above and beyond to help make our day as special as possible. The catering company JAM was very responsive with any and all questions we had.

Aldie Mansion was the first and only venue that my husband and I looked at. The historical architecture and decor, modern ballroom, and beautiful outdoor spaces made it the perfect place for our ceremony and reception. Our guests were absolutely blown away by the mansion. The Jeffrey Miller coordinators, catering, and floral made the planning and the wedding day run so smoothly.

It was a great venue. The staff was easy to work with. I am still receiving reviews about how flavorful and delicious all the food was. Kim was our coordinator and was great at easing our nerves. Many of our guest commented that it was the most organized and on time wedding they had ever been to and that is largely because of Kim. The wait staff was spectacular and very friendly. It was also such a beaitiful venue that we needed minimal decoration. My husband would like for me to make a note: if you go with this venue make the speech off of the balcony during cocktail hour- it created amazing photos.
Lastly, the tree outside was out of this world and the guest were thoroughly impressed and many took the opportunity to get pictures with it.

My wedding was in April of 2018, and we had an awesome day! We received so many compliments the day of on the uniqueness of the venue, and how great the food was! Our meals were seriously delicious - and our cake was divine! We are still receiving compliments about how great the food was, weeks after the wedding. The planning process was also really easy. They give you a handbook with TONS of choices, but we were still able to keep it simple and our planner, Kim, was always there if we had questions (especially as we came close to the big day and I was e-mailing her daily!). My husband and I are very happy we chose Aldie and I would definitely recommend it to other couples!

Our wedding at Aldie Mansion was exactly what we imagined and more! Having our wedding in December, we were very impressed by their holiday decor which was elegantly decorated in each room of the mansion. It also snowed on our wedding day, further highlighting the beauty of the venue and created an extra special ambiance. The food and service was exceptional. We loved that the menu options varied from the traditional wedding food that you see at every other wedding. Bar service was quick, cocktail hors d'oeuvres were plentiful, dinner was delicious and efficient, and the cake was out of this world! Planning was so easy, special thanks to our coordinator! So much so that we kept thinking we weren’t doing enough work leading up to the big day, but it was really just that the Jeffrey Miller team had it completely under control. It was so nice to not have to worry about a single thing the day of the wedding and just enjoy it to the fullest. Guests cannot stop raving about this unique and beautiful venue!

We had our wedding at Aldie Mansion in May 2017 and it was more than we could have asked for! The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff at JAM is awesome. Shelley was our planner and she was great - her helpfulness and attention to detail in planning really helped us relax and enjoy the day when it came. 6 months after our wedding and people are still raving about the venue and food! I would recommend both JAM and Aldie in a heartbeat!

We had our wedding at Aldie Mansion in September 2017 and couldn't have asked for a better day! My husband and I are both architects, so we were drawn to the unique charm of the Aldie Mansion, and knew immediately that we wanted to get married there. We loved that we had the entire mansion to roam around, and all the guests loved being able to play lawn games and mingle on the outside terrace with the band for cocktail hour. JAM catering provided amazing food! The hor d'oeuvres were a great variety, and they had a ton of add on options to choose from. The main meat and cheese table was absolutely amazing! It was great that they also provided a cake - and the flavors and decorations to choose from were perfect for us! We received tons of compliments on the venue, food, and overall day from our guests. We would recommend Aldie Mansion to anyone!

We had our wedding after Christmas in 2017 at Aldie Mansion. It worked out perfectly because the already beautiful venue was decorated from the holidays. It was stunning and helped with budget! Also, I can't say enough good things about my experience with Jeffrey Miller Catering (JAM!) The food was awesome! We were out of town for the group tasting but we were able to send my in laws to get the input. My father-in-law made it very obvious that we missed a spectacular presentation! When it comes to planning, I am not one for details and can be easily overwhelmed when making decisions. Luckily, Jeffrey Miller Catering provides a wedding coordinator. We had Kim Bates as our wedding coordinator. All of her suggestions were perfect! Her attention to detail was spot on, she responded promptly if I had a question, she provided a detailed itinerary which was super helpful when coordinating with my other wedding professionals, and she was very helpful the day of. My guests are still talking about the food, service, and beautiful venue. I would highly recommend JAM, Aldie Mansion, and Kim Bates.

Our daughter and son-in-law were married January 6th 2017 at Aldie Mansion. Every part of the day exceeded our expectations. The mansion was still decorated for the Christmas holiday and added to the ambience of our winter wedding. The dusting of snow in the morning made the grounds spectacular for wedding pictures. Kim and her staff made our experience wonderful. Kim`s guidance thru the entire process of planning the wedding very comfortable. Our only compliant was the night went too quickly. Thank you for making the day very special for our family.

I could not imagine a more perfect place to have a wedding than Aldie Mansion. I knew it was the place not even halfway through our tour- the building itself is absolutely gorgeous, the grounds are picturesque, the ballroom is unique and elegant, and the tree is an absolute dream come true. I was NOT wanting a cookie-cutter country club ballroom and I found that in Aldie. The Mansion is full of character and it was the perfect space to host both my ceremony and cocktail hour/reception. During my cocktail hour, I had guests tell me this was the best wedding venue they'd ever been to... and the wedding wasn't even halfway through yet! I'm so happy that Aldie Mansion was the beautiful venue I had always pictures for my wedding!

I have loved the Aldie Mansion for years before we were planning our wedding. The estate is a beautiful hidden gem in Doylestown, PA. The location is so beautiful, you do not need to add much to the space to make it wedding special.
Kim and the staff at Aldie/JAM Catering were wonderful to work with and very responsive to all of our questions and requests. They are willing to work with you to tailor your wedding day to your specifications and budget. For us, that meant biscuits instead of rolls with dinner. It really is the little things!
My husband and I really appreciated the private cocktail hour in the bridal suite. Kim and her team prepared us a mini spread of all the cocktail offerings with champagne just for us to enjoy! It was a very special moment I will always treasure. Lest I forget! The winter fires were a wonderful touch for our November wedding. It was such a beautiful day.
I cannot recommend Aldie Mansion enough for your wedding. You will not be disappointed!

Aldie mansion is beautiful and so spacious for all of the guest. I fell in love with the romeo and Juliet balcony and knew I wanted my ceremony and reception here. Kim B. showed us several of the other JAM venues but I kept picturing the balcony. So we decided for a fall wedding. The staff has been incredible so far. Planning a wedding from have way across the country seems almost impossible but Crissi my planner is making it so much easier. While home over the holidays she was willing to meet with us for almost 4 hours so week could so the bulk of the planning 10 months in advance because we definitely would not be able come back for a while. The location is beautiful and the staff is fantastic

It seems that most brides run into at least one crisis on their wedding day, but not me with Aldie! Our event coordinator was Sue and she made everything stress free and simple. She always responded to my emails or calls from day one of booking all the way up to the day before when I needed to add an extra guest. On the day of she was always there checking in with me and our parents to make sure everything was as we wanted. JAM cateoring was amazing! The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful! Our family and friends we so impressed by the space and the food. My husband and I couldn't have asked for anything more to make the day perfect!

Absolutely wonderful! For reasonable prices, especially compared to other Bucks Co. venues, we had a fabulous wedding. The grounds are beautiful and the food is delicious. Our wedding coordinator, assigned to us through JAM catering, made sure the day ran smoothly. Our guests raved about the whole evening. Aldie is the best!

We fell in love with Aldie Mansion the first time we saw it because it was historic and romantic. We signed the contract with Heritage Conservancy and Jeffrey A Miller catering more than a year before our wedding date. The tasting event was a gastronomic experience (advise- do not eat the day prior) and helped us pick out menu items. About 3 months prior to our wedding date, Kim Bates, our wedding coordinator, set the wheels in motion and everything came out perfectly. She went through our menu selections thoroughly and made very helpful suggestions. She drew a map of the venue so we could plan where everything was going to be. She mapped out the entire event by the minute. She suggested having dance sets in between dinner courses. She was very flexible regarding personal decorations we wanted to use.
While we were getting ready, one of the bridesmaids had a hemming emergency and we needed an iron. Kim found one and delivered it to the bride's suite.
It down-poured the entire afternoon of our wedding day. We planned for a ceremony outdoors. Half an hour before our ceremony was about to start, the rain turned into a drizzle. Kim and her team quickly moved chairs out to the patio. We had a wonderful, intimate, super-romantic ceremony by the fountain.
The toast while we were on the balcony made it even more special.
We could not have picked a better venue. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue was, how good the food was, and how well the festivities flowed. Kim, Tessa, and their team did an awesome job and we can't say enough superlatives about them. If you are thinking of getting married in Bucks County, you will be missing out if you did not have it at the gorgeous, historic Aldie Mansion, savor JAM catering's wonderful menu, and work with a wonderful team of wedding professionals.

If you talk with our guests, they would probably give Aldie a 5/5. The setting is beautiful, which helped to make for a wonderful day. However, there were behind-the-scene issues that caused me to give a lower rating.
Things to be aware of:
-A novice wedding planner that seemed as though she didn't know the entire system
-Items that weren't set up on time (when the first guests had arrived, they stated that the pre-ceremony beverages weren't set up)
-We felt like it was all about the $$ (we asked to start 30 minutes earlier, and we were willing to pay money to do so. We were told no because they could potentially book another event beforehand, even though this was three months out and there were slim chances of another wedding )
-Day of service--When we were doing our photos during cocktail hour they brought out a small tray of appetizers for our entire bridal party, needless to say, I didn't get to try much. When a server was asked to bring more out, they never came back. During the reception family member grabbed drinks for me and my husband, it wasn't until our wedding planner left and the team captain took over, did a server offer to get us drinks.
-I was excited to use their florist, only to find out they don't work holidays
Our wedding was beautiful and it was a spectacular day filled with love. But, if I were to go through the wedding process again, I may search a little more before I settled on Aldie Mansion.

We chose to have our wedding at the Aldie Mansion in Doylestown. The venue is absolutely beautiful. Jeffrey Miller (JM) catering have the exclusive contract for catering in the venue.
I’ll start with the positives. JM provided excellent food on the night. I’ve been to lots of weddings and JM's food was exceptional, many of our guests commented on how incredible the food was. From the hors d'oeuvres to the dessert – we couldn’t have been happier with the presentation and taste.
Unfortunately, we can’t say the same about the service. Amongst all these glowing reviews it might be that JM just had an off-night. Either way, when they charge as much as they do, you expect a level of professionalism, far beyond what we experienced.
Food service:
Dessert was brought out almost an hour after it was scheduled to be. By the time it was served all of the guests had left their tables. Most of the dessert went uneaten. I did witness a member of JM staff help themselves to a mini-cheesecake in full view of guests – so at least someone got to try it!
Table-service during meal:
We paid extra for 2 bar staff to service the tables with wine during the meal. For this we received 1 visit to the table with wine during the meal. I had to get-up twice from the table to ask the server to come back and serve again, and I was the groom so I imagine every other table received even less service.
Missing alcohol:
JM’s instruction is that leftover alcohol is to be taken off premise on the night of the wedding and we duly obliged – taking everything that was given to
us by the bar staff. 6 days after the event, we realized that there was a significant amount of alcohol missing that I knew we hadn’t used. Only when I took this up with JM, was I informed that they had 8 bottles of liquor and 4 bottles of wine of ours still onsite.
Boxed-meals:
JM is supposed to box and provide you with the wedding cake and no-show meals to take home as well as two complimentary boxed meals for the bride and groom. We received none of these.
Dancing staff:
The staff were very friendly so we had no issue when early in the night, they joined in dancing with the guests. In hindsight, if they had spent more time focusing on doing their jobs, we feel we wouldn’t have had many of these issues. Staff was also extremely comfortable with helping themselves to cookies at our cookie bar that served as favors for guests.
Lighting:
For anyone considering Aldie Mansion, you’ll know the lights on the oak tree are a major sell of the venue. During the evening I noticed they hadn’t been turned on. I asked the staff to turn them on but they never were. JM have placed the blame on the venue – advising that they did try and that there was a technical issue. Miraculously the lights were working both before and after our event.

It sounds like a cliché, but as soon as I walked into Aldie Mansion I could easily envision having my wedding there. It's elegant and sophisticated without being stuffy.
Kim, our coordinator, was great. She answered all my questions along the way and really helped make the day a success.
Our guests raved about the location and the food. The courtyard outside was perfect for cocktail hour and the ballroom fit our crowd of near 150 flawlessly. I absolutely loved the ceremony space outside too - you can't go wrong out front by the fountain, out back near the sprawling oak tree or near the gazebo. All of the spaces require minimal decoration!
We were able to coordinate dropping off alcohol and decor beforehand, which saved a lot of time. We were also sent off with lots of extra food, which was a lifesaver - we didn't have to cook before leaving for our honeymoon!
All of the staff made us feel welcome and kept the evening running smoothly. I highly recommend Aldie Mansion - it made our wedding dreams come true!
