Both my bridal shower and rehearsal dinner were hosted at Paddock Place and they were wonderful events. The food is amazing - it’s through Gilmore Catering! It’s a beautiful buildi...
ng and we loved it for both special days.
We are so happy we decided to go with Paddock Place for our wedding reception! We had about 75 guests so we rented both the Tuscan & Drawing Room. The space has so much character....
The food was great. Everything was perfect. A very special thank to you to Felicia for being exceptional from beginning to end- it would not have been the same without you!
We had to change our venue to Paddock Place last minute due to Covid restrictions and it was the most perfect venue! It was a blessing in disguise! Paddock has a beautiful interior...
and exterior which were perfect for photos. It was the right amount of space for our group of 40 guests. We used both the Tuscan Room and Drawing Room and we held both our ceremony and reception in those spaces. It is a great venue for smaller events! Both Gilmore and Paddock staff were wonderful to work with!
Chris and Olivia were just wonderful in helping us plan our reception! We had to make last minute changes due to COVID and weather issues, and they were so accommodating and flexib...
le. The venue itself is gorgeous. We moved inside because of storms and I am so glad we did! The space is unique but so much fun and we got a ton of compliments. The food and drinks were also DELICIOUS! We even came back for brunch the next morning and I can't even begin to describe how good it was. A great experience!
Felicia and everyone at Paddock Place went above and beyond to help with my wedding plans. We first contacted Paddock Place to plan an outdoor wedding shower last minute due to COV...
ID restrictions and our expectations were exceeded and we were so impressed with the service, food, and beautiful outdoor space. As with the COVID restrictions, it was looking like our indoor wedding planned elsewhere was not going to happen in a month. Because of this, at the shower, we got the idea that their outdoor space may be available for the wedding and the staff showed us around the same day. We loved the space and all the detail they put into it so we decided to move our indoor wedding at another venue to outdoors with limited capacity at Paddock Place. Felicia worked so hard to help us plan a beautiful wedding in only a month-with new food, timeline, etc included. All of the staff absolutely saved my wedding and allowed it to still be a magical night for us, despite the restrictions. They were extremely professional and ensured all physical distancing and mask requirements were in place, as well as cleanliness standards being outstanding. Even with everything planned last minute, the food was amazing, the tent and decor was beautiful, and the day ran smoothly. Paddock Place truly saved the day and I will be forever grateful for all the hard work they put in to make our day special.
I would highly recommend Paddock Place! Felicia made the entire process fun and easy! We had our wedding reception here in December. They have the entire venue decorated for differ...
ent seasons and holidays which made for great pictures! The venue is so unique and our guests loved it! The team here made our day so special and unforgettable!!

ery detail was set to my expectations! The food was wonderful & Charles was even able to get some additional selections for the children in the group! Paddock Place has such a great history to it & so much character! Thank you to the entire staff for making us feel so welcomed!
Fantastic food, service, attention to detail, flexibility and location! I’d have my reception here over and over again! Truly a dream come true!
