Bourne Mansion

g and she was RIGHT. every. single. detail. was just perfect I couldn't ask for anything more. From the moment my husband and I arrived to take pictures with Steve greeting us at the entrance with two glasses of champagne to watching our guest's reactions as they walked into the venue, it was just out of this world. Working with Miriam leading up to our wedding was an absolute joy and she was so responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Steve was a BLAST and kept the show running smoothly all day. If there were any issues behind the scenes we would have zero idea because Steve was on top of everything. The food was out of this world. Appetizers like chicken and waffles and mini lobster rolls completely knocked it out of the park and the dinner and drinks were just phenomenal. The entire staff was friendly and professional and the venue is obviously breathtaking. I can't believe how lucky we were to have our wedding at the Bourne Mansion and I truly cannot recommend it highly enough.

specially Steve and Miriam went above and beyond to make our wedding as magical as ever. Can we do it all over again next weekend?!

t-in wedding planner. My husband and I both have very demanding work schedules and Miriam guided us through each step of the way. She went above and beyond and would answer our emails at all hours of the night! Steve, our maître de, made sure that the details at our wedding were executed perfectly. We did not miss a single special moment at our wedding because Steve made sure of it! Simply put he was and is the best! We were so lucky to work with Miriam, Steve, and the entire Bourne staff- they made our dream a reality! If I could give them a 10000 Star Rating I would!

m the start. Miriam is amazing! Right from the first meeting we knew that her guidance as well as flexibility would be a huge plus, and it was. She provided us with helpful tips ranging from which vendors to use in the area to what gifts to get our wedding party. As we were trying to plan our wedding ourselves, it was really helpful to have someone who was so knowledgeable and willing to offer advice. It is a luxury venue but you get what you pay for and more. The food was incredible! Our guests (including one who is a professional chef) still talk about the cocktail hour spread six months later. Cocktail hour was the highlight of the evening, but dinner was great too. The service at the tables as well as in the bridal suite was impeccable. From our first visit to Bourne Mansion to the end of our wedding reception, we felt completely taken care of. They are all pros who have done this for a long time and you will be in excellent hands if you go with them. Thank you Bourne Mansion for our incredible wedding!

ess to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams and was so helpful with all of our requests and needs throughout the journey. On the day of, our maitre’d Steven and bridal attendant Nicolette were incredible! They helped make sure that everything ran according to schedule and that we had everything we needed, so we were able to truly just enjoy the night and time with our family and friends. Steven is a must to make your wedding day run smoothly, he truly was the glue that held the entire day together! The food was also fantastic - we had lots of different stations and passed hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour, as well as late night snacks for our after party in the mansion at the end of the night. All of our guests said that they loved everything and were blown away! We couldn’t recommend Bourne Mansion and their team enough!

can do Sweetie". Now, when I say God did it, I mean it because He used my family, friends, strangers, and the team at the Bourne Mansion to make our wedding day better than we could have imagined. I usually don't feel compelled to leave reviews online. However, after my experience working with Miriam, Steve, and the staff at the Bourne Mansion, I felt the need to share. Let me start by saying that from our initial meeting with Miriam, I felt seen, a warming sense of compassion, and a genuine feeling of care towards me and my fiancé. Miriam, the Sales Director, was understanding, accommodating, friendly, comprehensive, and encouraging and she has a great sense of style. Seeing that I didn't have the average timeframe to plan a wedding when compared to most brides, naturally I was concerned about things like the wedding day schedule. When I tell you I didn’t have to worry about a thing on my wedding day once I reached the mansion, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. As Steve put it, "You’ll be on autopilot and I'll guide you." On our wedding day, I felt as if I could breathe, be present and enjoy myself. Now there were a few things that I wish could have been a different reality, but only because we ended up having to have the ceremony inside. Because we had to be inside, we wish we could have had a rehearsal at the mansion before the wedding. You see, our wedding party consisted of 16 people and it was a slightly tight fit in the front during the ceremony. I was later informed that one of my bridesmaids had to sit down because she felt a bit faint. If you're having a smaller wedding party then you don’t have to concern yourself with that as a possible reality. Another point that I think is important to highlight is that the kitchen is located behind the wall where the ceremony will be held. Some of the kitchen staff were conversing loud enough to where some of the groomsmen had to open the door, step into the kitchen, and ask them to stop talking during the ceremony more than once. Granted, my husband and I still enjoyed our day and didn't let that damper a thing. I’m not complaining about that, but believe it is important to note. I'm sure they weren't being intentionally disruptive, but I wish they were mindful of how the sound travels into the ceremony room. Besides that, we thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day and a month later people are still reminiscing about the food, ambiance, staff, and overall experience. I also want to note that Steve looks and sounds slightly intimidating, but he has a great personality and was a great guy to work with. He is both highly skilled and efficient in what he does as an MD. Steve and his team took care of our vendors and we were able to take a good amount of food home with us after the wedding. If my husband and I were to get the chance to redo our wedding day, we would have it at the Bourne Mansion again with a few minor adjustments. If you read this looking to be convinced, I hope I helped. Thanks for your time, congratulations on your engagement, be kind and good luck with your search. With that being said, I hope your wedding turns out better than you could have anticipated.

. Many say it was the best wedding they have been to. The staff were top notch. Steve, Miriam, and Nicolette are so professional and make the evening seamless. Steve was with us all night taking care of us, and facilitating the party. He helped us with so much, and so much that we didn't see. He truly has the bride and groom's best interests at heart! Want a wedding to remember? Have it at Bourne.

e in the Great Gatsby. Bournes staff and Maitre D were also incredible. They ensured we had a drink in our hands the entire time and just overall made us feel like royalty. The entire booking and planning process was simple and seamless. Bourne mansion made our wedding dreams truly come true.

liments on the venue and everyone loved the food!

usiness and will take care of all the wedding questions/details you might not be aware of. Steve was also a class act and helped us tremendously during the days prior to the wedding and the wedding day, you can trust that he will make sure everyone is in their positions and knows what to do and where to go. The team at the Bourne Mansion is a class above all the other venues we toured with my husband and can only say it’s a must for a dream wedding. Thank you guys for everything, the entire staff and team is the best!

way with a positive attitude and encouraging words. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made my vision come to life. The food was absolutely fantastic and all of our guests it was the best dinner they have ever had at a wedding. Throughout the entire day, all the staff made sure we were happy, comfortable and constantly checked in on us. They took care of my 94 year old grandma who has difficulties walking which was fantastic. They are extremely detail oriented and it was such a wonderful experience. The grounds are beautiful, as is the mansion. We had an absolutely gorgeous day and could barely get our guests inside to dance. The sunset over the water was spectacular. We are so happy we booked the Bourne Mansion for our wedding!!

gh because you have to put a lot of trust in your vendors to execute your vision on the wedding day, and you can only control so much. I can honestly say that Bourne Mansion exceeded our expectations, and made everything the day of run SO smoothly and perfectly. Miriam was fabulous about answering our many late night emails, and Steve made sure he executed on everything we had outlined to him in our detailed notes. Even when we noticed one thing off when we previewed the ballroom before all other guests (we wanted to have normal bride/groom chairs instead of the fancy ones), Steve immediately had them replaced within seconds! Everyone at Bourne is so experienced and they know exactly how to run a wedding, keep the bride and groom happy, keep the parents of the bride/groom and everyone else happy and stress free, so that they can enjoy the special day. I am eternally grateful that they made our wedding so fabulous and that I can feel that every penny was well spent on this venue. All of our guests continue to rave about how absolutely stunning and well executed our wedding was. Thank you again to everyone at Bourne for one amazing wedding!!

way by the food, service and elegance of Bourne. Our Maitre’d Steve ran a tight ship and ensured everything ran perfectly. He was also so funny and contributed to us having the best time! My friends are still raving about him! Our bridal attendant, Nicolette, did my bustle and was very sweet. All of the staff was very professional and there weren’t any complaints about the service. I would recommend booking your wedding at Bourne Mansion 10000 times over. It was the best decision we ever made!

in the planning process and their focus and attention to detail in the night of execution is impeccable. Miriam was incredibly warm, possesses a strong taste level, and was easy to work with, offering great advice and was always someone we looked forward to seeing during our planning meetings. Steve was phenomenal and ensured the event went perfectly!! He catered to our every need at the wedding and was always accessible. Thank you for everything Bourne Mansion, we thoroughly enjoyed our wedding and highly recommend!

fer. We had a perfect day and evening on 6/24/22.

o smooth. We were constantly on timeline. The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful. Our guests raved about their experience at Bourne mansion and said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Hands down best decision we made!

ng day, Miriam was truly amazing. Her guidance, advice, quick responses to questions, and overall assistance to us was so greatly appreciated. On our wedding night, Steve Melita was our Maitre D. He was amazing! He went above and beyond not only for me and my husband, but for our parents as well, which was so appreciative. Prior to our wedding, he even made sure that the bar was stocked with my Dad's favorite liquor on our wedding night. His ability to run such a timely and smooth night with all of his staff members is truly amazing. He was a friend by the end of the night! As to the venue itself, it is truly unbelievable, and definitely speaks for itself! Thank you Miriam, Steve, and your whole team. Our wedding day was truly the best day ever, and that is all we wanted to be able to say!

go over a beautiful little bridge and arrive at tall black gates and look at the water fountain and enormous brick building. We had chills. We walked in to the mansion and being that my husband and his family is all from England I thought that the architecture reminded me of being in England. Then we proceeded to the ballroom and I turned around and saw a beautiful walk way at the top of the room and turned and look at Harry and Harry looked at me and my mom who was with us and we both said this is it. From that moment on I found every excuse to go to the Bourne mansion. We get chills every time we walked in. Miriam is an absolute sweet heart. Anytime I sent an email or needed something she immediately would get back to me. Her thoughtfulness and caring personality was and truly is one of the main reasons we also chose this place. She didn’t allow us to forget any details. The day of our wedding Steve was our maître d’ and was on it. He had everything in order down to the second. We absolutely loved how he had everyone in law and order mode. The food was incredible, all guests couldn’t stop raving about cocktail hour and the food at dinner. We had a small issue with the cake from rolling pin but Steve came to the rescue and was able to present us with a fast make up cake. All in all it was the best day we could have ever imagined. Highly recommend the Bourne if you are looking for a class act, prestige, elegant and unforgettable wedding. Thank you Steve and Miriam for all that you do day in and day out.

th any questions we had and literally walked us through the entire process and eased our minds. The venue looked beautiful and we had access to the whole mansion during cocktail hour. It was amazing walking room to room with the gorgeous food displays. The food at both cocktail hour and the reception was excellent and plentiful. The main ballroom was stunning and was everything we ever dreamed it would be. Jake the maitre'd and the staff were wonderful and attentive all night long. This is a magical place for a wedding and we could not have asked for anything more!

fiancee knew, site unseen, that this was going to be the place for their wedding reception. Bourne was the first (and only) place they wanted to see. From the minute they walked into the lobby, the decision was made. We booked November 2020 but, of course, had to postpone until April 2021. The restrictions were lifted only 3 weeks before so we decided to stay with our original plan of having a micro wedding for 50 of our family and friends knowing that we would book yet another date for the big reception. Fast forward to Saturday, April 23, 2022 we finally got to celebrate "Bourne Style". They pulled out no stops in making sure our daughter and son-in-law's reception was the one they dreamed of for three years. I'll start with Jennifer, our bridal attendant. She did everything for us!! Always right there making sure we had whatever we needed. From helping us carry bags, bustling trains and dealing with two dress malfunctions (she was there in seconds with her needle and thread) she was amazing!! Then there is Steve! Where do I start. He ran the show and it was truly a Broadway hit!! His attention to detail is off the charts. Our daughter got the chance to see what it was like to have her own bodyguard!! Always checking in on her and her husband and me and mine, "big daddy" ;). Our glasses and dinner plates were never empty! And finally, last but certainly not least....our go-to girl....Miriam. What can I say about this woman? From the moment we met her, we knew she was so very special. A kind spirit and a heart big enough to fill a room. She was always our calming voice during the stressful "pandemic years" and we truly love her! We will never forget how much she did for us!! If you are looking for a venue and reading all these review for Bourne, I could let you know that every single five star rating is well-deserved. Look no further!! You can keep the Oheka!! Bourne Mansion is THE ONLY place to have your storybook wedding! BOOK IT!!!!! YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!

e to swap us with waters every so often, and that we had our dinner and cake! We actually were all set enjoying our after party when he pulled us back into the ballroom which was almost completely cleared except our table to sit down and eat our untouched cake which made for an unforgettable memory. His expertise and energy made our night so perfect and we truly wouldn’t have had the night we did without him! We shared so many laughs and great times that I will cherish forever. He was incredible with our bridal party, and they wish we could have a wedding with him every weekend lol!!!!! Nicolette is amazing and I wish I could bring her everywhere with me!!!! She was incredible and unbelievably attentive!!!! She was on top of every single thing and like Steve always made sure we had drinks, food, and anything else we needed. My dress was very heavy and had 7 bustles which was a concern for me leading up to the big day. Nicolette is a rockstar and got every single one perfectly, and I didn’t have to adjust anything throughout the night. When it came time for a second dress she quickly and efficiently got me out of my giant dress and into the next before I could miss anything!!! She made sure to take great care of my mom and her bustle as well, along with the entire rest of the bridal party and all our needs. My day wouldn’t have been nearly as smooth and coordinated if it weren’t for her, so thank you to her for making our special day so perfect!! Miriam is an absolute gem!!! From the very beginning she worked so closely with us, our budget, and made sure we got all the things we were looking for. Her advice and suggestions were perfect, and we appreciated her guidance through everything. We didn’t have to worry about anything leading up to the big day because we knew we were in the best hands. The coordination with all the vendors, the internal staff, and us was seamless. We left every meeting feeling so confident that she was going to nail everything we needed and wanted. I was so happy to work with Miriam for the best day of our lives and wish we could do it all over again just to experience it all one more time!!! I am an interior designer with a love for historic preservation so the mansion itself was one of the easiest yeses of my life! With the architecture aside - the food, the team, and everyone involved was absolute perfection. Our guests are still talking about the food and how incredible it all was. Our meals were just as delicious as the tasting we had, and the cocktail hour food was to die for. The waitstaff, bartenders, and every single person involved were all amazing. Everyone was so attentive to us and our guests and many people are still talking about the amazing conversations shared amongst the team. I also might be bias, but my signature drink was a margarita and I had the best margaritas of my life the entire night!!!!! I cannot thank everyone enough for coordinating such an amazing day for my husband and I. We got to enjoy every single moment of the day and didn’t have a single thing to worry about. I would choose Bourne Mansion 10/10 times if I had to do it again!!!!

twist and overall presentation is truly indescribable. Our lovely event coordinator, Miriam couldn’t have been more genuine, caring and supportive with creating a beautiful night for us. Steve our rockstar of a maitre’D truly ran the show! From A-Z he was on top of everything all night and made sure we had nothing to worry about besides having the time of our lives! My amazing bridal attendant, Nicolette was outstanding! There for me for our every move! To the entire staff at the mansion, the atmosphere, the service, the food were all unforgettable! My guests are in awe of what an experience they had, and the quality of the delicious food, thanks to your amazing chef! I would recommended the Bourne Mansion over & over again!! My amazing vendors all knocked it out of the park - Satisfaction Guaranteed, Studio 27, Danielle’s Florist, Rolling Pin Bakery! I wish I can relive this night all over again, but am forever grateful for celebrating our marriage at The Bourne Mansion!

sion, it did not matter. Miriam and Steve - you went above and beyond to make all of us feel like the most important family in the world. As for the experience for our guests...each phase of the wedding provided our guests with a new and magical experience. The ceremony was memorable. The cocktail hour was filled with great food, a huge selection for all palates and each room had its own special atmosphere. We could then hear them gasp as they entered the beautiful ballroom . Everyone still talks about it. All we can say is a heartfelt and genuine thank you for a magical experience that we will never forget. XO

e Bourne Mansion team. They were fair, kind and professional through our postponement. On the day of our wedding, guests were wowed by the beautiful back-drop Bourne Mansion provides. Guests also raved about the delicious food and fabulous service. We felt so lucky to have worked with Miriam throughout our planning process. She was responsive, helpful and genuinely cared about making our event as special as possible. Steve and his team helped our event run smoothly the night of the wedding. We feel very lucky to have been able to spend the best day of our lives in such a beautiful space and being cared for by the very best in the business! We cannot recommend Lessing's and the Bourne Mansion team enough.

am, the event planner was calm and comforting and provided all the tips and direction we needed to navigate and plan a perfect day. She was so responsive to all our questions and concerns which given the state of the pandemic was no easy task. On the day of our wedding Steve the Maitre D ran the event to perfection! He provided the guidance and suggestions to the bridal party to make the experience fun as well as smooth.And the bridal attendant was very attentive to the bride and grooms needs. And the food was amazing! I expected it to be good but it was fantastic. We have had rave reviews from all our guests from the event space, to the staff to the food. I would highly recommend the Bourne Mansion for a perfect wedding!
