Mooreland Mansion

ace for us. We didn't get a chance to see any of the flowers out front or gardens before our rehearsal but it 100% lived up to all the photos I saw online. Michelle was incredible to work with from start to finish. She was so helpful with all the questions we had and responded to emails quickly. The day of the wedding and for months after we got non-stop compliments of the venue. People were blown away by the beauty of the gardens with the backdrop of the huge mansion. There were so many gorgeous choices for photos. The food was delicious and a lot of variety for the bar. It did not disappoint. I loved being able to walk from the garden over to the patio for the first dance. The dancing outside on the deck with tables and the bar nearby kept everyone together for the whole night. I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else.

t. She was very flexible and easy to work with but as the date got closer, it was apparent that she and the catering team were less organized than I thought. The day before our scheduled rehearsal she asked whether we were rehearsing on Thursday or Friday (it was Thursday at 5). She let us know we’d have to be out by 6 because an event would be starting. Would have been good to know that sooner than the day before (and if she had remembered in the first place) but we worked with it. Things were off to a good start on Saturday but as soon as the reception began, the cracks begin to show. Half the tables had been served and staff began busing all the while some tables (mainly in the large room where all our closest family/head table was) hadn’t received food yet. I unfortunately had to track down Michelle in the middle of dinner to ask what the issue was, because she was in the kitchen helping rather than coordinating. She told me they were going as fast as they could. One server told me that some staff called off or just didn’t show up. Later on in the night, Michelle let my mother know that the kitchen had dropped a tray of chicken (35+ pieces) and she thought she ought to let someone know. It was so disappointing and embarrassing to learn of more and more people who didn’t get a complete meal that night over the next few days. Leftover food was even taken off some tables to give to others that had none. When I wrote to her with my concerns, she apologized and was able to do a small partial refund on some catering fees but maintained that everyone had enough to eat. Really, really not what I should have been told. I didn’t pay Mooreland (and Normandy Catering) to make sure that everyone had “enough” to eat. I paid for X amount of food and enough professional staff to properly serve it. It was by no means inexpensive and if someone is going to pay thousands for your products and services, you ought to have reliable staff and enough food. It’s tainted our whole wedding experience and had I known this would happen, I would’ve never chosen Mooreland.

in every way. Our guests were just as in love with the mansion & grounds as we were; it made me so happy to hear how beautiful they thought it was throughout our day. The service? Above and beyond. Everyone we ever interacted with at Mooreland (but especially Michelle) was just so accommodating. Plus, our guests raved about the food (pretzel chicken, pork medallions & mushroom risotto). I can tell you *very* confidently that you will be hard-pressed to find the atmosphere, flexibility and value that Mooreland offers.

the Event Coordinator, Michelle, Normandy Catering for the AMAZING food (everyone was raving about it - Bruschetta Chicken, NY Steak, Veggie Cous Cous), the beautiful mansion and outdoor space, and the help of all our other vendors, it was a dream of a wedding. We have guests telling us how unique this space is from a traditional ballroom/banquet, which is exactly what I wanted. Having the dance floor on the back porch of the mansion created such a fun and different environment to dance and sing the night away, which looks over the gardens in the backyard. We had a guest count of approximately 115, and it was the perfect size for this venue. I would 100% recommend Mooreland Mansion to anyone. Attached photos by Black Dog Photo.

and you can't beat the price!

or. She made sure we were taken care of and that everything ran smoothly. All the staff was great and made my day very easy. I would highly recommend them!

here we were hoping for. The guests found the location a refreshing change from the more common hotel ballroom type venues. Most importantly, Katie Coach went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. Considering we have never planned a wedding before, we needed quite a bit of hand holding from Katie. She really made what could have been a stressful experience an extremely pleasant one. I highly recommend Mooreland Mansion to anyone wanting an elegant and warm wedding.

tion) and received so many compliments on the venue. We loved the southern charm and historical nature and the staff was a true pleasure to work with. Katie, the lead planner, is super flexible and her attention to detail is exactly what a bride needs. She made the entire planning process easier. The food was great and we loved being able to use so many different spaces at the mansion. The venue is extremely affordable and is ANYTHING but cookie cutter! So happy we chose Mooreland for our special day!

and from out of town to visit multiple sites and had a very planned out schedule, so no, pushing it by two hours was not possible. She assured me she'd briefed her colleague Barbara on our proposal and that Barbara would be with us until she arrived. We arrived a few minutes late and greeted by nobody. Barbara showed up, told us she was preparing for a President's luncheon, and walked away after being short with my mother about capacity. No proposal review, no site tour, nothing. To make matters even worse, Katie never even showed up and then said in email that there was a miscommunication with Barbara about our site visit. We will obviously not be having our wedding here. If my site visit cannot even be managed propoerly, how the hell could a wedding possibly be?! I felt so disrespected today I am prepared to tell all of my family and friends to stay away from the place. I was treated like dirt when I was prepared to literally put a deposit down today. Yea right. Not anymore.

beautiful ceremony and pictures. The Mansion was intimate and elegant and the dance floor on the veranda was the perfect spot for guests to dance and/or gather on the patio. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! I also have to mention the planning team and day-of management was very attentive and paid close attention to detail. Perfect wedding venue for a perfect wedding day!

he staff they were so accommodating for last minute changes and made planning a wedding from out of town so easy. Our wedding day turned our perfect and ur guest truly enjoyed the venue and the food. Marie is the best day of coordinator and made my day dress free.

mily and were so helpful and accommodating with everything. The mansion and grounds are beautiful! Food was great too. We cannot rave enough about the mansion and the staff. We recommend this venue to everyone!

at the same place. The first place we looked at was Mooreland, and we fell in love instantly. Mooreland is the ideal place for a romantic and timeless wedding. The rose garden was beyond beautiful for the ceremony, and the verandah was an amazing spot for the reception! The grounds are perfect for pictures, too. The staff at Mooreland, Marie especially, were wonderful to work with! They all made the planning process a breeze, and were very organized with every detail. What I really loved about Mooreland was that they provided a lot for the ceremony and reception. I didn't have to rent any table, chairs, linens, china, or silverware for the big day. They even provide some of the decorations! This made my planning a breeze. The food from their private caterer was AMAZNG!! We got so many compliments on how wonderful the food was. The day of the wedding, Marie made us feel as if we were her family, and went out of her way to make sure everything went perfectly. All in all, we had an absolutely perfect wedding at Mooreland Mansion, and would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

of my control on the day of my wedding. I had no worries!! There were so many impressed guests who could not stop raving about the whole environment. It was a fantastic day!

ous for our cocktail hour and dancing later. The interior was gorgeous and provided the exact ambiance we had hoped for our special day. The staff were wonderful, especially Marie who was our guiding angel throughout the entire wedding day. Planning the event with Sherry was very efficient, especially since we planned the entire wedding in just over six weeks. Barbara oversaw the evening activities with the band, buffet, etc. with a calm and pleasant professionalism. They also provided references for the flowers and the minister, based upon their past experiences, and the recommendations were wonderful. The food was generally very good (our guests raved about the appetizers but we never had a chance to sample them due to photos). The band was situated in a great location on the verandah, which made it easy to enjoy them during the cocktail hour and especially when we danced later. The character of the entire venue was absolutely everything we could have wanted.

and worked with me to get every detail just right for me and my 75 guests. When I arrived the day of my wedding, the mansion was set up beautifully and the staff kept in constant contact to let me know what was happening next and to make sure I did not need anything. The gardens and house were absolutely beautiful for the ceremony and pictures. My guests also really enjoyed spending the evening dancing outside, while the kids ran around the lawn. This is a fantastic venue that I would recommend over and over again.

that they do not put the screaming children in the room next to wear you are dressing for the big day. There is nothing quite a stressful as a screaming child when you are trying to get beautiful for the most important day of your life. Otherwise, everything was handled wonderfully!

t right!

or reception and when the weather didn't cooperate, the back-up plan was implemented seamlessly. They help coordinate vendor arrival and set up and offer many items as part of their package, reducing the number of vendors needed. The food was raved about by all. Dinner service was excellent. I highly recommend this venue.

professional and all the staff was as well. The food was very presentable served with a flower as garnish on the plate. the food was great tasting too! my only complaint is that they wouldn't serve shots at the bar even though i bought the premium package.

ined with tealights, and overlooking their beautiful landscaping. They have their own caterer that fed us awesome salmon, brie, chicken, potatoes, and salad...you can tweak their menu to fit your tastes. We also returned the day of the wedding for pictures both inside and out...beautiful windows, staircases, and gardens for lots of great picture opportunities!

pful and takes good care of you.;The food is good but not great.
