The Duke Mansion was the highlight of our wedding planning experience. From start to finish, they excelled in their customer service and wedding planning process. They went above a...
nd beyond to ensure our wedding weekend was perfect and were supportive on both a personal and professional level every step of the way. We had to move our wedding due to COVID-19 and they made changing the date stress free. I cannot emphasize how much we loved our experience with them. A very special shout out to Brittney for all of her help and making everything wonderful for us. Thank you!!
We held our daughter's wedding at the Duke Mansion last weekend. Every aspect of the wedding weekend was perfect. The facility was gorgeous, with the gardens in full bloom creating...
the perfect backdrop for photos. Staying on site with the wedding party and close family allowed generous time to relax and enjoy the weekend. The wedding food was the best we have tasted and each staff encounter was meet with graciousness and desire to make our stay remarkable. Savanah, our event planner, was on top of everything throughout the planning process allowing us to leave things in the staff's competent hands. We cannot recommend Duke Mansion enough for your wedding or special event.
The Duke Mansion was a fantastic choice for our wedding ceremony and party and we highly recommend it as a wedding venue! From the great staff (including Ginnie Little, the Social ...
Conference Services Manager, who managed our wedding) to the beautiful grounds and delicious food, the Duke Mansion was the perfect place for our wedding. Additionally, having 20 guest rooms on site was incredibly beneficial for our family and close friends who were able to be near us during all of the festivities. The Duke Mansion staff were very helpful and communicative throughout the entire process and it made our big day seamless when it finally arrived!
We LOVED our wedding venue! Not only was the Duke Mansion incredibly beautiful and expert at putting on weddings, it also was one-stop shopping for our events which we loved. With ...
it also being a B&B, we were able to take over the mansion for our bridal party and families to stay all together, host the rehearsal, and of course the outdoor wedding, reception, and dancing! The bridal suite, gardens, and porches are all beyond beautiful and our guests were wowed! The food was wonderful and the chef was amazing to work with.
A few notes to be aware of:
- Grand Tasting: you will likely not be able to taste the food before you book unless you pay, also the grand tasting does not have all food samples so we'd recommend just paying and going when it suits your timeline.
- Food: you also can only pick one starch/veggie no matter which entrees you choose
- Some small things may come up and the Duke, having tons of weddings and being a premier location, does tend to have more strict rules and may not be as flexible as you'd like - ask questions up front if you have any specific wants/dreams
I had my bridal portraits taken at Duke Mansion in April. It was an absolutely stunning venue to have my pictures taken. I worked with Cinthya in setting this up. She was responsiv...
e, helpful and informative.
We did look at the Duke Mansion for a wedding venue. Although it would be a beautiful spot to have a wedding, as a host you are required to fill all of the rooms (I don't remember how many, maybe 20 or so). If you don't fill them all you are responsible for paying for those unused rooms. We couldn't guarantee our guests would book there and we didn't want to be stuck with this cost. You can also only have 150 guests- this wouldn't have been an issue for us but obviously would be if you have a larger guest count.
Not even sure where to start... everything about our experience with the Duke Mansion was great. Everything about our day was beautiful on the backdrop that the Duke Mansion provi...
des. Our coordinator Laura was beyond helpful and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process! The service we received during our event was awesome. In addition to the service, we loved being able to stay onsite for the wedding weekend. It was a great way to spend some more time with guest who were staying there as well. When we booked our date, I'm not sure that we realized just how lovely our event could be. I couldn't be happier with the decision we made to host our reception here. I would recommend the Duke Mansion to anyone considering having their wedding here!!
