We recently had our wedding at Palmer House, and it was a fabulous experience! Al and his staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, and worked with us to make our day exactly what we wanted. The venue itself is lovely; it has a rustic ch...

ic charm, and it was easy to decorate to make our wedding beautiful. We had much of the wedding outside, and the backdrop of the stonework on the building looks great in photos. We also used the loft for bridesmaids to get ready, and we stayed in the loft after the event. This was really convenient, plus the loft is truly beautiful! Al and his staff were wonderful. They answered all of our questions (even when they seemed out of left field), and worked to meet all of our requests. Al is clearly passionate about finding solutions to meet people's needs. He helped us work through any issues that arose, like an ornery caterer, and went out of his way to ensure we were happy and could have the day that we wanted. He also was happy to work with us to come up with strategies to maintain COVID safety, which we greatly appreciated! Overall, it was exceptional service, and we highly recommend Palmer. Also, special shout-out to Louie!
