The Historic Ambassador House and Heritage Gardens

s were met and questions answered. The venue was clean and organized exactly how we asked on the day of. Setup and cleanup by the staff and other vendors was prompt throughout the day. Grace took care of everything that was asked of her, including the little things like getting tips distributed at the end of the wedding as vendors wrapped up. The venue itself is also exactly what we wanted - so much green space behind the house with lots of areas for beautiful plains/greenery/water shots with our photographer! The house itself was perfect on the interior for what we wanted, as we didn't need to bring in very many additional decorations as the interior is already very well decorated at baseline. We did our ceremony on the patio and our reception on the deck, both of which perfectly suited our needs, the deck allowed sound to dissipate into the atmosphere for guests who needed some space from the noise. The patio and retreat room served as great areas for guests to take a break and play some card and board games (we brought those ourselves, not included with the venue). All in all, we would both highly recommend this venue for anyone who values a beautiful venue with both indoor and outdoor components and excellent venue staff!

special. She is a great addition the Balmoral House team. My family has also hosted a baby shower here and they did an excellent job with that. They have something that can accommodate many types of events. To be honest, I could go on and on and make a super long review but it comes down to one thing. This venue is gorgeous, unique, and versatile and I HIGHLY recommend using Balmoral House for your wedding, or any event you may have.

us narrowly avoid a cake disaster, and even was ready to pull the whole thing inside due to the rain. The venue is so gorgeous and I cannot say enough great things about how my wedding turned out! If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing about it!!

etest woman. She handled all my curveballs and changes easily. They have the ability to take SO much stress off the bride (flipping the space, setting up the space, dealing with the bar, coordinating vendors on the day of, serving lunch and drinks, cutting off intoxicated guests... lol). Not to mention the sheer beauty of the space. I mean dang. So many, so so many guests loved the space, the decor, the style, the flow of Balmoral House. We got so many compliments on it. There is a huge parking lot for guests and they even had a golf cart to assist with our mobility impaired and elderly guests. We loved that the bar and cocktail hour are downstairs and guests could be away from the flipping of the space. We loved how centrally located it is for our friends from all over the city and that it is close to hotels for our out of town guests. The bridal suite alone is worth it's weight in gold. Lots of room for hair and makeup and for our little girls to watch movies and play during the day while the moms were getting ready. The guys loved the gentleman feel of the basement bar and hang out area while they were getting ready. There are countless areas on the property for beautiful photos for your eternal memories. I'm sure I could continue for hours, but all in all- this beautiful classy space was absolutely perfect for our wedding day.

s settling down so we were able to still host a larger indoor ceremony otherwise we were skeptical about the capacity limits and the price being worth it for the venue. The place is just so nice that having 50 people or less than what you imagined is not ideal if all of your loved ones cannot experience the grounds ( I was so worried about this in conjunction with their reschedule, etc policies). I worked with Reid, Ashtin, and Sarah. It was choppy moving from person to person since we had already had our first planning meeting which went great and had to have a second. Second meeting was unprofessional & we were very rushed. It was not all the way satisfactory because a lot that we had talked about in the first meeting was not carried over or even noted. So we had to try and recall details (in a rushed manner) to solidify things. Thought it would be more of a run through and it was just to some extent. Linens were going to be charged at a rate higher than that of the rental company they use until I expressed I would rent my own linens through the actual company and after saying that the price was adjusted so I did end up renting through Balmoral. At the time I just took it for what it was and made sure to go back through my notes, etc and just email with any changes. First meeting coordinator even offered to help with simple small day of tasks, we did not get that the second time around. My mother was not happy but we were in too deep and I just could not get over the grounds. I feel that the employees/owners need to realize people are shoveling loads of money into this venue and the service should always reflect that. For the money being paid some things could come complementary other than tables etc. Including "wedding" with anything, prices seem to increase just because of the word. Paying well over 10k for a wedding it only seems right to include a day of coordinator with experience imo. I used my own which did work well because I couldn't fathom dropping another 1k for a coordinator for one day. Just mentioning because this service would have been appreciated as a wedding venue. The mimosa and fruit bar was delicious at an extra cost of course but not by much. Like many have said theres fees for everything. To come in one hour earlier (since my family has a decor company and I was to be helping and wanted to help) we were told it would be an extra $400 for ONE hour, which I found crazy since no other parties were going to be in the venue anyway. Theres so many events being hosted here on average that the tac on fees unfortunately become ridiculous. One event Im sure pays the mortgage lol 🤷🏽‍♀️. The Dj was moved a few times which was not ideal because he last ended up outside in the blazing heat where the music could not be heard indoors. Understandable for space reasons at first but all was not done to move him back inside. No music was really heard during the eating part of the reception which was kinda alright because of the chatter anyways. I had 24 people in my bridal party and they were given plenty of space in Eaton Hall to stand after organizing everybody during rehearsal. Bridal suite was perfect for getting ready and was stocked with feminine products etc. Shower is like a water fountain, but does get very hot and gets the job done. Couldn't ask for better bar staff. Vendors were GREAT, I used MBP Catering and Complete Weddings + Events for videography and photobooth. The top tier of our wedding cake was forgot about but Balmoral made sure to get it to us at the end of the night. Again the grounds both inside and out are amazing. Balmoral was more my taste compared to other venues and local for us. Overall, it was beautiful, everyone enjoyed themselves, the day of was amazing and I am glad to have had my wedding at Balmoral!
