The Highlands was the most beautiful and magical wedding venue imaginable...my husband and I can't get over how amazing our wedding was here. Our guests absolutely loved the garden...
party feel we were able to create by having our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all outdoors on the property. Every corner is so picturesque and my husband especially loved the medieval walls. Many of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to.
We worked with Dana as our day of coordinator, and she made everything run so smoothly and effortlessly. I could tell she really wanted to make our day special and she was so kind throughout the planning process. She also has a preferred vendor list that made the wedding planning process so much easier - all of the vendors she recommended exceeded our expectations.
What's unique about the Highlands too, is that they have no guest minimums required for Saturdays, which I was running into with other venues. We only had 64 guests, and having our wedding there on a Saturday was no problem at all.
Please do not hesitate to book your wedding here! You won't regret it.
The Highlands Mansion was an absolutely stunning venue for our wedding—the gardens, the grounds, and the mansion itself created a one-of-a-kind backdrop that our guests couldn’t st...
op raving about. Our coordinator, Dana, was truly amazing. She made the entire day feel seamless, was so easy to work with, and brought such a laid-back, calming presence. The venue speaks for itself, but Dana made the experience exceptional. Highly recommend!
Got married at The Highlands 10.19.24!
This place is a hidden gem. We never heard of it before and neither did any of our guests which I think makes it more special! If you love t...
he estate/mansion and garden aesthetic, it’s worth checking out! The words I received throughout the night were “fairytale” and “magical”. Beautiful outdoor ceremony and reception space options in the gardens, and you can use inside the mansion as well. Dana is amazing to work with and really put my mom and I at ease throughout the whole process. Great communicator and a great eye for detail. She knows what she’s doing and has a lot of experience with weddings and other events at The Highlands! I can’t thank her enough for also taking photos/videos throughout the day and sending them all to me so that I can relieve all these sweet moments! Important to note- this is a very DIY venue. No packages, set vendors (though Dana has suggestions for caterers, lighting, and rentals) or decor. You are essentially just renting out the space.
We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at Highlands Mansion in May of 2024. The mansion is beautiful on its own, which made wedding planning so much simpler. While we did hav...
e to pick our own vendors, Dana was SO helpful in making suggestions and organizing the details of our day.
The mansion and gardens are so beautiful... our guests are still talking about it!
We hired Dana as our day of coordinator, and I cannot recommend her enough. Our day ran so smoothly, and I know it was because of all her hard work! She is kind and gentle, but keeps everything moving as it needs to. She is professional in her work, but also cares about the people celebrating!
The Highlands Historic Mansion & Gardens was a fantastic venue in which to hold our wedding ceremony and reception. The location is beautiful, spacious and fit the contours of our ...
event perfectly. Our coordinator Dana was accommodating, patient, thoroughly professional and worked with us extensively before our event, to craft the wedding day of a lifetime. Even when an unforeseen tropical storm rolled through the area on the day of our wedding, she immediately activated a backup contingency plan that allowed us to carry on unabated. I cannot possibly recommend her and this location more highly.
If you are thinking about going with the Highlands as your ceremony and/or reception venue, stop all your other searching! You will not find anywhere else that is as beautiful (or ...
as affordable).
Dana, the manager, was incredibly helpful. We were originally supposed to be married in October of 2020. When COVID changed all our plans, Dana was incredibly supportive as we navigated through multiple rescheduling and changes. Our email thread is probably about 100 messages long and not once did Dana make me feel like I was bothering her or that my questions were too much. She is a large reason why I kept the hope that our dream wedding would actually happen and her support was a large factor in deciding to go forward with the wedding instead of just canceling it after one too many disappointments. Dana is amazing and you want her on your team.
In addition to all of her help leading up to the day of the wedding, Dana was great the day of. We had to move our ceremony location last minute because of a sudden shower and didn’t have enough time to enact our original rain plan. Dana came up with a beautiful solution that everyone loved even more than the original ceremony location. What could have been super stressful was easy and pain-free. She was unobtrusive the entire day, so when I got a text with 100 photos and videos that she had taken over the course of the wedding the day after, I was amazed and delighted.
I cannot recommend the Highlands Historical enough. The grounds are gorgeous and filled with history and the level of support is unparalleled.
Had my wedding here at the end of June, 2022 and it was absolutely perfect! There are many location options for the ceremony/reception (all gorgeous), and an overwhelming number of...
amazing photo spots. Everything is kept up very well, and the mansion is stunning too, especially the bridal and groom suites. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better price. And Dana was great to work with--going above and beyond to help out both during the process and the day of!
The Highlands was FANTASTIC. I loved working with Dana, she brought such a calm energy but still excelled at being on top of everything. The grounds are beautiful and the weather h...
eld out so we could have our ceremony under the willow trees. They were much more flexible than other venues on vendors, like the kosher caterer we needed to bring in. Truly the perfect place for our wedding and I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
The Highlands was an absolutely beautiful place to hold our wedding. We were getting compliments on the venue all night long. Dana - the caretaker - was wonderful and went above an...

We couldn't be happier having our wedding ceremony at The Highlands! The garden is absolutely stunning and it made for a perfect, natural background to our ceremony! It was so incr...
edibly and dream-like. We can't wait to go visit the gardens again and relive our special day! You won't be disappointed if you choose The Highlands for your ceremony site!
