The Allandale Mansion

edding and this was absolutely perfect for it. It really was a dream come true. I loved the representative they gave me for the rehearsal. She was wonderful and very helpful but she had to go to another wedding so they had to give me another representative that wasn't as friendly but still nice. The grounds keeper was there when I booked the barn and was very helpful. The only complaint I have is all the rules including having no real candles or sparklers which is to protect the buildings since they are old. This can make it a little difficult but the price is great so it makes up for it. I would recommend booking it at least a year in advance because its price makes it get booked up quickly. Overall I was very happy with it and had my dream wedding.

or draw back I have is they need to make sure everything is in working order before the day of the event! I had several lights out and was told they would be repaired before the wedding and they were not. Also a bees nest was in the brides dressing room and caused it very hard to get dressed while swatting the bees....

inside the mansion. This venue was exactly the vintage/rustic look I was wanting! The price is great very affordable! There are quite a few rules about decorating, but this is because they want to preserve the beauty of the barns and mansion. All of the employees are extremely friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend having your wedding here! The only complaint have is they don't allow you to rent the wedding for an entire day you rent it for an 8 hour block and pay $75 for each additional hour. Overall though it's a great place for a beautiful wedding!

and have a nice, air conditioned location plus an outdoor venue. Inside there is a grooms suite and bridal sweet for the wedding party to get ready in, a full kitchen, bathrooms, along with gorgeous historic paintings and rooms for food, cake, tables, etc. We got married in the garden behind the mansion and had our reception in a tent on the front lawn...we were there all day which was so relaxing an enjoyable. Everything was wonderful

ng. Allandale also only gives a 7 hour time block and insisted no more, no less unless pay extra. An allandale representative is provided to let people in to set up at beginning of time block, help direct traffic and people to wedding area, and to be there also if needed anything and to make sure decorations were used without tacts, tape due to historic site ( also act as chaperon for site)...Well beware cause this individal was 30 min late, my people were carrying music and food over fences. They did not direct people or traffic, no one knew where to park. Then to top it off the individual disappeared for about 1 hour then shouwed back up with to go boxes and started filling them with food! When caterer ask about what was doing, the person got mad and left the boxes. I was paying them for there service because they had to be there due to Allendale requirements in contract and did not include them in the $40.00 per person dinner budget or whoever else they were taking food to. When emailed the main representative, Dora, at Allandale, since she doesn't respond by phone anyways, I told her about the Allandale representative that had to be there by there rules that caused more harm than good and advised break of contract and she didn't even reply. She could at least apologized.
