Mary's Hope was one of the first ceremony sites I found when I began my search. There photo's online look incredible and I wanted to see the grounds ASAP. Erin promptly replied to every e-mail, sent me contract information, and set up an appoin...tment with me, my husband, and family. We met and I instantly fell in love. Erin told me I could literally pick any spot on the grounds to have my ceremony, and I'll admit I chose an odd spot, directly behind the house but not down by the water. We worked out an amazing set up that I couldn't have asked for better. Our ceremony went off right on time and without a hitch. Sincerely the nicest staff and probably the most beautiful house/grounds I have ever seen. People are still raving about how gorgeous Mary's Hope was. 100% positive recommendation for outside ceremonies or receptions and an amazing bang for your buck!!
