A Magical Winter Wedding Experience at Haley Mansion Getting married at Haley Mansion was like stepping into a dream—specifically, a Nutcracker mansion dream. The way the venue is decorated in winter is absolutely enchanting, with every detail radiating elegance and warmth. It felt like walking into a fairytale, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was. As a bride on a budget, I was thrilled to find that I could fit all of my wants and needs within this incredible venue without exceeding my budget. Haley Mansion truly offers exceptional value for the experience they provide. The team that works there deserves special recognition. They are patient, warm, understanding, and unbelievably flexible. Even with last-minute changes, they handled everything with grace and professionalism, which helped ease so much of my stress as a bride. Our guests felt truly spoiled by their attention to detail and care, and many remarked that it was one of the most elegant weddings they’d ever attended. If you’re looking for a venue that brings a magical touch to your big day and a team that will make you feel supported every step of the way, Haley Mansion is the perfect choice. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

Haley mansion was a stunning backdrop to our wedding. Every single location on these grounds is gorgeous and picturesque. The service on the day of was absolutely incredible. They made sure our partner and I were taken care of all night, even making sure we had some time for just the two of us to enjoy a drink and our hors d’oeuvres. It was so cool having servers come to tables throughout dinner to make sure drinks were flowing all night long! They are very communicative and willing to accommodate.

We LOVED our Nov. 2024 wedding at the Haley Mansion! The service was impeccable and we had a fabulous time. Our guests raved about the beauty of the mansion, the service and the food! (oh and so many great photo opps!) The team and planning process was also incredible. The staff is very responsive and helpful and every time we came to the visit mansion during the planning process, we felt more and more excited for our big day 🙂 For us, this venue is a hidden gem. We had visited other more expensive venues that did not provide anywhere near the decor, service, food etc for the price. I highly recommend checking out the Haley Mansion.

There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful this venue is! It is beautiful. We got married after the fire and they were so accommodating and understanding with their new limitations at this time. They truly understand how to make the day of the event as seamless as possible and to ensure that it is the best day. Our guests and family talked highly of the staff and how beautiful the venue was; it was all we wanted and more!

This venue is downright incredible. From the first tour we knew we wanted to have our reception here. The communication from them was clear and open, and their list of needs was so easy to plan for. Food: insanely good. We had a few dietary restrictions in our reception party and they were great at marking those as different and keeping the same level of quality of all dishes. All the appetizers, mains, and deserts were phenomenal. The bar was great and had a great team as well Space: This building is beautiful. Everyone kept telling us how much they loved the venue and the staff. Team members and service: Eloy was our day of coordinator and blew us away with his professionalism and skill. Everything went so smoothly and wonderfully. We had a number of photos we wanted set up around the mansion. We dropped them off on Thursday and when we came by on Saturday, everything was set up and laid out. I highly recommend this vendor. They were amazing and helped make our wedding truly an event to remember.

Wow! What a venue. We were blown away with the staff on the day of our wedding. They decorated to perfection, served everyone with speed and a smile, and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The property manager (Eloy) was superb. He told us to make the Mansion our home for the night and boy did we enjoy that! While the venue is a little pricey, it comes with everything- linens, china, serve ware, the cake, food, drinks, servers, lighting, ceremony and reception chairs, free parking, late night White Castle, and more. Most other traditional venues we looked at required us to get individual vendors for all of this. The venue is worth it. It’s beautiful and magical. We felt like Gatsby for a night. If I had to do it over again, hands down, it would be at The Haley Mansion!

We loved having the Haley Mansion for our wedding on 5-21-22! The staff was incredible on the day-of and made everything flow smoothly. Everyone was attentive and professional throughout. The food was great and we got several compliments throughout the evening on the serving size and quality of food. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and we were even able to utilize the outdoor patio area for cocktail hour with an additional bar located outside. I could not be happier to have gone with the Haley Mansion for our big day!

I cannot say enough good things about The Haley Mansion!!!! My husband and I were blown away by the attentiveness to the us and the bridal party the day of the wedding. We keep getting compliments from our guests on the food and the service. The Mansion’s beauty brought the evening to life, and we took pictures outside of the mansion at night, and they are GORGEOUS!!! I HIGHLY recommend checking out the Haley Mansion, and you will fall in love with the venue. Also, their Christmas decorations make a perfect Christmas wedding ❤️

The wedding venue of my dreams! Not only are the mansion and grounds stunning, the ballroom is beyond anything I could have imagined. from the moment we walked in, no other venue could compare. Sandy and Savanah were beyond gracious while working with us, especially considering having to postpone our initial wedding date an entire year due to covid. Day of, our wedding vision came to life and the staff provided one of the most magical experiences our guests are still raving about over a month later. Not to mention the food is phenomenal! As big foodies, we wanted a venue that was a step above your basic venue standard, the mansion exceeded those expectations threefold. Our day at the Haley Mansion was an absolute fairy tale!

The Haley Manison and their staff was truly amazing on our wedding night. Two weeks later my wife and I are still receiving compliments on the venue choice, food, service and ambiance. I would highly recommend The Haley Mansion to any prospective couples.

This was my dream venue! Beautiful garden for the ceremony, classy decor for the reception where you could still see the outside (which was ideal in case we got rained out. I still wanted it to feel like an outside wedding and the glass conservatory would have made a lovely plan b if necessary but thankfully it wasn’t!), and a fun interior that made you feel like you were in a period romance novel! Every single guest at our wedding commented on how gorgeous this venue was. A lot of them had fun roaming through the mansion. The food was great especially the peppermint ice cream and the staff was excellent! Having heard from many other brides I expected to not have any food during cocktail hour but a server brought a tray out for us to snack on during the photos and the maitre d was always there to refill my drink so I didn’t have to go to the bar. I worked with savanna for the planning and she was an absolute delight to talk to each time. And I cannot thank them enough for their flexibility during the covid pandemic. Our original date was in April of 2020 which did not happen so when we needed to reschedule they gave us a lot of flexibility with our date since we rescheduled over a year out and we’re very generous with our guest count since it was during the vaccine roll out and we had people waiting until the last minute to rsvp and then a few that cancelled after the fact. The only thing I can would recommend is when you are filling out your contract, don’t wait until the tasting to put in your food and drink in. You can probably always negotiate up but we didnt lock in our ideas early so we when the new year rolled around (we had planned our wedding out over a year before we needed to reschedule so this was not due to covid) the prices for everything went up a dollar or two and that adds up.

My husband and I can not say enough good things about the Haley Mansion. It was the very first venue we looked at for our wedding and after leaving we cancelled the rest of our venue appointments. The mansion is beautiful!! We fell in love with everything about the place. The staff was remarkable. We had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid and Sandy was so helpful throughout the entire annoying process of having to change dates. Fast forward to the day of and we could not have been more blown away!! The staff made sure all of our decorations and any requests that we had were taken care of. The servers were always on point and never made a guest wait for a drink. And the food was incredible! Who knew a simple dish of chicken, potatoes and veggies could taste so good?! I think we got the most compliments on the food and the staff. Hands down the best day of our lives!

After being diagnosed with cancer 4 months before our wedding the Haley Mansion refused to refund ANY of our money. We needed it for medical bills and after explaining our situation countless times they offered no help or sympathy. I am absolutely disgusted with this “business” and could never recommend anyone I know booking an event here.

Kevin W

7/12/2020

We had our wedding cancelled due to Covid-19 unfortunately and this venue REFUSES to give back our deposit. A deposit for a now cancelled event due to an act of God. Wedding venues are supposed to be helpful and caring to their clients and this place is the exact opposite. I do not recommend this venue and am highly disappointed that they cannot be accommodating that we had to cancel our wedding for something out of our control.

I had my wedding here on March 14th, 2020. I can honestly say I really have no complaints. The communication among the staff at the Mansion is impeccable. Sandy, Hannah and Adrianna were my primary points of contact and they never missed a beat. I had a lot of things I dropped of 2 days before my reception and everything was absolutely perfect, down to every detail I wanted. I received so many compliments about the food and service all night, and the days to follow. I do want to mention, that my reception came right before the Covid lockdown, and I was very anxious leading up to my big day, Sandy reassured me that the staff was cleaning and sanitizing throughout the day and night and would be taking extra precautions to ensure my guests safety. All in all it was an amazing place to have my reception, I wish I could do it every weekend!!! Thanks a million to all the staff!

My fiance and I toured this venue twice. The first time, we absolutely fell in love with it, but quickly learned that it was quite outside our budget based on head count, regardless of the minuscule incentive they provided. We went home and agreed to lower the headcount to lower cost. Our second visit, we planned to further negotiate as we were very close to a comfortable number. From there we learned of a new fee that was never originally mentioned, while being told it was built into the entree cost, it really wasn't. Once our final estimated budget was sent to us, it was almost $3K more than we thought, which it should have been only $600. We were then AGAIN told the estimate was entered incorrectly. That the venue rental fee and ceremony were not added into the total. It is EXTREMELY disheartening to love a venue, but have such distrust in a team that can't even provide a correct budget. Not to mention, they pride themselves on taking care of the process for the bride, but that is wrong. If I have to babysit your team for a correct estimate, what would the wedding look like? In addition, they could have easily helped more with bringing the cost down, of which they chose not to. A venue rental fee BTW is complete BS. That is just another way to obtain more money. As sad as it was, my fiance and I chose not to move forward with them.

response 02/02/2020

We would have been pleased to host your wedding at the Haley Mansion. As you requested, we...

furnished numerous estimates based on different guest counts, menu choices, days of the week, months , and even years. Every effort was made to make Haley Mansion available to you within your perimeters. We hope whatever venue you ultimately choose, you find complete satisfaction.

If you want to have your reception at the most beautiful venue, you found it here. My wedding was the most beautiful, elegant, and the food was AMAZING - all due to the mansion. Adrianna and Sandy were a pleasure to work with throughout the process. The pricing is a bit high, but worth every penny. Thank you, Haley Mansion!

The Haley Mansion will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We fell in love with the venue right away and knew it was perfect for our dream wedding. During the planning process, the staff were incredibly nice and accommodating. The tasting was COMPLETE perfection and an elegant, upscale experience. The wedding day was hands-down the best thing we could've ever imagined. The staff provided the BEST service for us and all of our guests. The coordinators put up all of our wedding decor EXACTLY how I envisioned. The venue was the most beautiful place I've ever been personally. If you're looking to have your dream wedding, The Haley Mansion is the PERFECT place. LOVE!!!

Such a beautiful venue. My guests raved about the food, it is more than good "wedding food", it is actually really good food. The Mansion also offers guests more to do than just dancing. There is a pretty outside terrace people enjoyed the evening on, and there are many beautiful rooms throughout the house to explore. The staff is wonderful too, everyone was super helpful to work with.

I just had my wedding here... I was a little put off on the turnover of the staff. In the year+ of working with them I dont believe a single person from the beginning of my journey still works there... NO MATTER though. They were incredible. Seemless transition between ceremony/cocktails/dinner. Perfect meal presentation.... speaking of the food it was DROOL worthy and incredible! I have NO complaints about our experience with the Haley Mansion. I love my wedding, BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!

I cried happy tears when we toured the Patrick Haley Mansion during our venue search and by the end of our tour, my fiance and I knew that it was the right place for us. The venue is absolutely stunning and we loved the feel of the old house paired with a beautiful ballroom. We wanted a unique, vintage, and elegant venue and the Haley Mansion delivers. The biggest struggle I had with them was communication. They do a team-based communication approach, so you have multiple people accessing your files and answering your questions. That can be frustrating, but they did a pretty good job leaving detailed notes in our file. It seems like they have a lot of turnover, because the managers we started working with were not the same ones that ended up helping us on the day-of. They are very focused on doing things their way and they try to shepherd you into specific timelines and table arrangements. That being said, they were willing to work with us on doing some unique things once they understood the full picture and why it was important to us. The food was delicious both at the tasting and on the day-of. We received extremely positive guest comments on the food and every steak came out medium rare. Some people told us it was the best wedding meal they ever had. I liked that many upgrades were included in their base package, so I didn't feel nickeled and dimed throughout the process. They also let us incorporate personal touches like family photos on the mantels around the mansion. Even with the sometimes frustrating communication, I loved working with PHM. They helped us throw an incredible party that we will never forget.

There are not enough good things I could say about The Haley Mansion. My husband and I had our wedding there a couple of weeks ago and couldn't have been more pleased. Not only is the venue stunningly beautiful from the garden, to the ballroom, to the house itself but the staff is incredible. The staff really sets the place apart from all others. They are essentially your event planners. They contact your vendors, help set up and tear down, and make sure you have everything you need the night of. It was a "dream-like" wedding and the mansion was a huge reason why. If you choose to have your wedding there, you will NOT be dissapointed.

We just had our wedding reception at The Haley Mansion and were absolutely blown away!!!! Right when we visited the mansion we knew we wanted to have our reception there. The staff is incredible and were so attentive/responded quickly to all phone calls and email messages. The night of the event, Giovanni and the rest of the staff made sure my husband and I were taken care of and delegated appropriately to the rest of the staff. The food was incredible.. I truly felt like a princess on my special day! Also, the venue itself is beautiful for photos, especially indoor photos incase it rains. I HIGHLY recommend PHM!

My husband and I got married here last night and, as you can tell by how quickly I'm writing this review, I was absolutely over the moon about the Haley Mansion. I wish I could hug every employee that was there last night to thank them for how much they helped make our wedding spectacular. The reception went off without a hitch. My guests (~230) raved about the decor, the elegance of the mansion, how delicious the food was & the overall service. I worked with Sandy, who was an absolute godsend during the last month before our wedding. She was so quick to respond to questions and the mansion was unbelievably accommodating for us. We dropped off our wedding essentials on Thursday, went through the checklist of what everything was & how it should be used, and everything was set up PERFECTLY for the wedding. I mean down to a T, the details were perfect. I can't thank the staff enough for helping our vision come to life for the reception.

My daughter was married here this month and I can not give this venue enough praise! Yes, it is a beautiful structure, that is obvious, however what really made the wedding amazing was the staff!! From the ground keepers, the office girls, the set up/tear down staff, the amazing chef, the servers, the bartenders and of course the amazing coordinator, Eloy! They say you get what you pay for, and for those who are skeptical, it stands absolutely true at the Patrick C. Haley mansion. Poor Eloy did such an amazing job dealing with my crazy self ( Mother of the bride) all night! Thank you Eloy! You will NOT be disappointed for choosing this venue!! Much love to everyone involved making my daughters wedding September 8th nothing less them amazing!!

I’d give this venue 10 stars. Not only is it beautiful, but the service is out of this world! It is a well oiled machine. We are still getting comments from guests about the service and atmosphere of The Haley Mansion. The food was exquisite and there was a lot of it! You receive your own dog of wedding planner which keeps the wedding and reception flowing smooth and most of all on time! The only downfall is they have a guest minimum - our wedding ended up larger than we had planned since we had to meet their adult minimum. We also had to have the wedding on a Friday vs a Saturday due to The Saturday adult minimum being 250 which 1 we didn’t have that many people to invite and 2 it would have been way out of budget.

response 08/16/2018

Thank you for the fabulous review! We sincerely appreciate when people recognize all that ...

we do. In regards to out adult guest minimum, all event venues have a minimum guest requirement for obvious reasons. Normally, as in our case the minimum is about 2/3 capacity for the 26 Saturday evenings May thru October. Other evenings have lower minimums and November thru April are lower still. Thank you again for the ten star review!

We got married at the Haley Mansion on 3/25/18, our Coordinators were Eloy and Patrick, I cannot say enough good things about these two and the rest of the staff that day! We had a few bumps (with my vendors) and they both addressed them quickly and efficiently. They both went above and beyond to make our day extra special! As for this venue, we actually had 3 other places in mind to host our wedding, however the minute we stepped in the mansion we knew we had found our place and immediately cancelled our other tours. Their service is impeccable and they try to accommodate every request. The venue is well preserved, it exudes elegance and charm. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it!

I am overly impressed with how amazing this venue and their staff was through this whole process. The servers knew what everyone was drinking and had their next drink there before they finished their last. I’ve heard so many compliments from our guest stating best food at a wedding they have had and best service. They set up all my decorations amazingly. I was just blown away by every last detail with the Haley Mansion. If you are looking to have your wedding in this area I highly suggest this place.

The Patrick Haley Mansion was the most beautiful venue I could have ever chosen to embody my Winter-Elegant Wedding - it was STUNNING! The staff was amazing and so supportive, making me feel so special as a bride. From all of our meetings to the day-of, all the PHM staffers were beyond anything I could have asked for. They were attentive, supportive, and just overall great people. My guests (all from Chicago / north-suburbs) were in AWE when they saw the mansion, they couldn't believe something this beautiful existed as a wedding venue (thankfully I knew..)! I would recommend The Haley Mansion to any bride - it was one of the best decisions I have made.

Lovely place. Received many compliments on how beautiful it is. A little disappointed as the event drew closer and PHM lacked communication on some things, such as not having us in the rehearsal schedule.

Sorry you were disappointed with your rehearsal. We actually did have you scheduled and ha...

d your time reserved. When you arrived, both Haley Mansion Event Coordinators were with clients that ran a bit overtime. Normally it is the officiant's responsibility to conduct rehearsals and The Mansion's responsibility to provide the space as a courtesy. Because there seemed to be some confusion, our coordinators tried to assist as they became available. Patrick, in particular, went above and beyond to provide you with the best service possible. As a result, your wedding was absolutely beautiful and we are so pleased that your guests marveled at the food, service and of course The Haley Mansion itself. Thank you for choosing the Haley Mansion. If we can be of further assistance, feel free to contact us at anytime.

Omg I can not even begin to describe the amazing experience I had at The Patrick Haley Mansion on my wedding day!!! The staff did an amazing job making sure my day was as perfect as could be. The attention to the smallest details were outstanding. They made sure my guests were well taken care of with anything they needed. I received many compliments from my guests stating that my wedding was one of the most beautiful they had attended, from the amazing views to the service provided throughout the mansion. I can honestly say that I had the wedding of my dreams!!! Thank you Patrick Haley Mansion from the bottom of my heart for making my dream a reality!❤️

I recently attended the Murray/Dixon reception. As an ex-meeting planner I must say, the dinner was by far the best food I've ever eaten at any function. The wait staff was outstanding and very friendly. The mansion will definitely be at the top of my recommendation list. Cudos!

We had our wedding here in mid May of 2017. It went off without a hitch. Every attendee, to the person, has said we had one of the best weddings they have ever attended! What a compliment! It was important to my fiance and I that we had a memorable day and that certainly happened because of the Patrick Haley Mansion. TIP: if you are considering this venue: GO VISIT!!!! The pictures do NOT do it justice. Planning: My fiance and I lived out of state as we were planning our wedding. The coordinators made each meeting easy and efficient. We felt involved in every step of the process, but they took care of things we cared less about. The coordinators were very professional and got back to us within 24-48 hours of any request or question. Day of: Each step was coordinated. As the bride, I was able to enjoy every second because I knew that the professionals of the mansion were there to take care of everything. Food & Drink: Every guest remembers the food/service at a wedding, and every person was impressed by the incredible service! My husband and I had wait staff that was designated just for us. No guest was ever looking for anything: a drink, a napkin, anything. Location itself: On our wedding day, it rained the entire day. It didn't matter one bit. The mansion inside made for beautiful photos, and the gardens made for beautiful end of the night photos. Elegantly decorated. If you want a memorable, stress-free experience with professionals, choose here. You won't regret it.

We celebrated our wedding at the Patrick Haley Mansion this past fall. From the moment we first met the PHM team, we felt as though we were in the best hands around. We were continuously impressed by each member's friendliness, thoughtfulness, and professionalism. They walked us through the whole process of planning our reception, answered our questions honestly, and answered each email/ call promptly. In the days leading up to our wedding, they helped us put our final touches by being greatly helpful, patient, and accommodating. And, the night of our reception was absolutely perfect. The team members were fantastic, the food was outstanding, and the venue looked and felt magical. Our guests have also shared a great deal of positive feedback about the food, look, and staff of PHM. We were thrilled with our experience at PHM, and would recommend it without a doubt!

The mansion was really great to work with and everyone was always very friendly and polite. We found it to be an amazing place that was great value for our money. The food was amazing and the staff was always helpful and polite. On the day of our coordinator (Patrick) was beyond helpful and accommodating. We had a family member who had some unexpected special needs and he did everything he could to make sure she still had a good time and was comfortable. I am so grateful to him for his help that day. I honestly cannot say enough to praise his service and professionalism. If they lose him as an employee then they will have lost one of their greatest assets. All the wait staff was extremely polite and helpful. We even had someone offer us some hors d'oeuvres while we were taking photos after the wedding. Plus they dealt with some food allergies (peanut and fish) really well allowing us to just enjoy the food and the day. The food came out warm and tasted amazing. We also had the sweets table which was a huge hit. Our guests absolutely loved it, plus everything tasted amazing. There were only a couple things I think they could improve on, first, that they keep a regular contact through email instead of someone different responding to every email, and second, that they don't allow tours right up until the bride is about to walk out. Other than those two things they were amazing to work with.

I can not be happier with my wedding at the Haley Mansion on June 17th 2016. The mansion staff was very organized from start to finish and always replied quickly to any questions I had through email. Kari and Sydney were two all stars that day making sure everything was perfect and I was happy! My guests raved how great the cocktails, dinner and late night snacks were. The mansion looked amazing that day and in pictures. The ballroom, grounds, and mansion staff looked wonderful and I would choose PHM again and agian.

This place is absolutely GORGEOUS inside & out. It’s a hidden gem in Joliet. I would have never found it if I didn’t search The Knot and then click on it because it said Mansion. There is so much to say about this place. The food is amazing; every single bite of food there is great. The venue is big and beautiful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Kari was our go to person and she made everything run so smoothly the day of and leading up to the big day, she answered every e-mail I sent in a timely fashion. This place is very expensive though! But, if you want to have the most magical night of your life, great picture opportunities, & if you want your guests ranting and raving about your wedding reception days after…you must have your event at The Patrick Haley Mansion!

The Patrick C. Haley Mansion was our second and final stop when looking for a wedding venue. We were so afraid we were not going to find that perfect venue that had everything we wanted for our wedding. When we walked into the mansion, we knew it was the perfect place for our big day. From the staff, to the decor to the grounds of the mansion, this place is amazing! Jan was incredibly helpful and made wedding planning EASY! The mansion paid attention to all the details we wanted for the day of and surpassed our expectations. We are still getting compliments on our reception from food to the service to the venue. All around A+++ for a wedding venue! We cannot wait to visit the mansion for our one year anniversary... its become such a special place to us :)

This is one of the most stunning wedding venues I’ve ever seen. Having been there about 10 times now, I’m still in awe every time I’m there. The grounds are just immaculate – so lush and made a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and pictures. The vintage details inside made for such a romantic atmosphere. And the staff is incredible – we worked closest with Jan and Stephanie and they were always so welcoming, patient, and accommodating to us during the entire process. Emails were responded to within 24 hours and all information was told to us upfront. They literally take care of everything - set up, packing up, etc. They had special servers for the bridal party and someone was always there if we needed anything. The food is delicious and the portions are huge. They have a large variety of hor d’oeuvres as well. They put so much detail into everything – white glove butlers, edible orchids to adorn salads, beautiful water dispensers for outdoor ceremonies, ivory damask embossed table linens, gold plated dishes, etc. The night of the wedding, the Best Man worked with the bar staff and they went and found 100 small beer tasting glasses and poured Blue Moon beer so everyone could go on the front lawn and do a toast to the blue moon that night! They made our day so incredibly special for us. This place is expensive, but we thought it was worth every dollar we spent there. My only negative was that they have a 250 ADULT guest minimum for Saturday nights in the summer. We had to have our wedding on a Friday because we only invited 210 guests, including children, (which I think is a large wedding) and didn’t want to pay for an extra 40+ plates. I thought 250 was a high threshold, but no one seemed to have trouble getting down to Joliet for a Friday night wedding so it was fine for us. I wwould have preferred a Saturday though. All in all, the Patrick Haley Mansion hosted a dream wedding for us and we’re being showered with compliments on the venue and food. Thank you!

AMAZING!!! We had such an awesome experience at the Haley Mansion. The staff was beyond accommodating with everything. We worked directly with Tracy for all of the planning and she was fantastic. She was patient and answered all of my questions. The mansion looked beautiful on the day of the wedding. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

5/04/2015

Thank you SO VERY MUCH for my beautiful wedding on 4/17/15! Your staff is incredibly friendly, attentive and PROFESSIONAL! I have never had such an wonderful experience .. From the first day I met Tracy she was organized and knowledgeable about everything wedding. Her coordinating skills are impeccable. I never felt stressed, unprepared or worried. She did such an amazing job helping me create the wedding of my dreams. Her suggestions were always welcome and her advice was always sound. The mansion..incredible! All my guests drove over an hour for my wedding and I was told over and over the location was well worth the trip. Our coordinator for the day was so sweet and she kept my nerves at bay. We were provided our own server for the night.. that was a cherry on the cake. I was asked quite a few times how I found such an incredible venue.... The food was HOT and tasted just like it did the day we chose it! So many compliments on the food! People loved the mobility of the venue and the freedom to enjoy it as they pleased. I went with the sweet table...man o man I never saw deserts go so FAST! My guests also loved the late night snack.. official white castle! Thank you so much ladies for making my dreams come true and giving my guests a night they wont forget. KUDOS to an honest venue that isnt out to get your last dime and genuinely care about their customers :)

WOW, AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, EXQUISITE! These are the words that describe the Patrick Haley Mansion. I fell in love with the venue the minute I walked in. The staff is friendly, the venue is just breathtaking, and the food is great! Everything about the venue is perfect!!! If I could have every party here I so would! Thanks to all the staff for making my wedding day that much more special.

If I could turn back time...I would have read the current reviews of this venue and NOT Booked this location. Now that I am about to walk away and go to another venue because of another late night, with limited sleep because there management has again disappointed me - enough already. The resent customer comments and the professional rating guide for this venue from mid 2014 to current are exactly what I am experiancing, nothing favorable and a huge amount of anger! There manager even commented to me about "people (couples) are backing out of their event" and I can see why. This will probably be my experiance too! I have a meeting to try and resolve my concerns but honestly I do not see anything worth my time and additional money. All I have encountered is a group of individuals that want your (in this case my) money. I am getting nothing for my multiple deposits - except a "date" with a team that is all about themselves. I am trying to find the good but even my friends and family say, "It sounds like a rip off!".... I thought this was a beautiful place but there are MANY OTHERS to choose from that probably will treat you better! Yuck

I tried to set up an appointment to see the venue. The pictures all looked beautiful online and the reviews were wonderful. I spoke to one of their staff over the phone and she was very rude to me from the very beginning of the conversation. I told her what date I wanted and she immediately said it wasn't available without even checking her calendar. She then stated that it was available when I actually had her look up the date. She then proceed to tell me I wasn't allowed to bring anything into the venue. When I asked her to clarify what she meant she stated that they did not allow things to be brought into their venue like a decorated area for the bride and groom to sit such a small stage or riser. I also told her I was Muslim and that I did have some cultural and religious requirement for our reception. Mainly that we could only have females entering the ballroom area when the event was occurring. I have spoken to several other vendors and banquet halls and none of them seemed to find this a problem. Some stated we would have to pay extra which I understand but they were willing to work with us on this point. She later called me back and stated that they are unable to accommodate this request so I cancelled my appointment. All in all I found the management unwilling to compromise and overall rude and unfriendly. I don't know if some racism was going on as I did state that I was Muslim however even before I told them that the staff member I spoke to did not seem very willing to help. Overall I do not recommend trying this site if you have specific cultural or religious requirements or if you are very picky and want things a very certain way. The staff are unwilling to work with you and quick to say no before even seeing if something is or is not possible. This is such a shame as the event space looks so beautiful.

Quite overpriced. The food was just okay. Even after paying thousands of dollars, it sometimes felt like everything was about their bottom line. While I appreciate their willingness to be flexible, the customer service prior to the wedding could have been more professional. Our tasting was rushed due to inexperienced servers, leaving us feeling nervous about how the wedding would go. Despite the bumpy road before our wedding day was gorgeous and everything went as planned.
