The Historic Post Office

Everything about HPO is perfect. We booked this venue almost two years in advance, and loved the entire planning process. Our experience day-of was a dream, and our HPO coordinator Ellie was one of the best things to happen to our wedding.

The Historic Post Office simply did not disappoint. The venue was clean and the staff was wonderful. Ellie was our coordinator and she went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was nothing short of perfect. She was available throughout the entire planning process. I knew I could count on her for anything! The venue itself is elegant and had everything we needed for the day of. The wedding party suites were comfortable and spacious, giving everyone plenty of space to get ready and spend the day together. We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding day. Thank you all so much for everything you did!

We had our wedding on 10/21/23 and the HPO was our venue and Sylvia was our coordinator. This one the one and only venue we toured, and that was all we needed. Everyone throughout the entire process was welcoming and seemed genuinely excited for our big day. Sylvia was our coordinator and she did absolutely AMAZING! Throughout the process, I was getting serious decision fatigue and she was so patient and understanding. I completely trusted her with all of the decor and she truly delivered the day of. Throughout the day, she was present and completely involved. She even helped occupy my grandmother, who has Dementia, while my uncle was making her plate at the buffet. It's so heartwarming to see someone who truly cares about everyone around her. Both of our families and bridal party loved her and she truly made our day 100% stress-free. And with me, that's really saying something! I highly, HIGHLY recommend the beautiful HPO and the even more beautiful coordination services!

The Historic Post Office exceeded my expectations. My wedding was absolutely beautiful! The staff was very helpful and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Their suggestions, professionalism, and expertise did not go unnoticed. The HPO staff definitely knows how to do weddings and does them extremely well! The bridal suite and groom suite were both beautiful and elegant, a perfect place for pre-ceremony pictures! I definitely recommend using the HPO for any and all events, not just weddings. I would love to work with them again in the future if given the opportunity! Loved every minute of being there!

We decided to go with The Historic Post Office as our wedding venue because they have these events down to a science. Everything leading up to the wedding went so smoothly with Ellie as our coordinator. Their existing relationships with vendors made that aspect so painless as well. The day of was fabulous too. Getting ready in the beautiful bridal suite, the elegance of the venue itself, and the flip between ceremony and reception was all perfect! We would definitely recommend HPO and Ellie to anyone looking to plan their wedding.

The Historic Post Office helped us give our daughter the wedding of her dreams! Our day of coordinator Ellie Bernstein was hands down the best gift I gave to myself to help me with the day of coordination. Do yourself a favor and REQUEST her!! My daughter was an out of state bride and having Ellie kept us all on task and helped us with a smooth most memorable wedding experience! She even kept all the vendors on a timeline. She did EVERYTHING and was so awesome it gave me the FREEDOM to be able to have a great time and visit with guests. The Venue is incredibly beautiful both inside and out with unique architecture throughout. The huge windows are just beautiful for bridal portraits. The bridal and groomsmen suites are comfortable, well stocked and beautifully remodeled. The lighting and Gobo they offered provided the most romantic atmosphere....just what my daughter wanted. An amazing venue and definitely one to check out!

The Historic Post Office is beautiful. All the staff was friendly and knowledgable. The venue is much larger inside than it looks outside with seperate bride and groom suites and everything you and your vendors need. We were able to have both our ceremony and reception within. They offer lists of other local vendors they recommend and work with and their intimate wedding package was perfect for us and our budget. They work with you to make your wedding vision a reality. We are so grateful we were able to have a perfect day because of them!

We had the pleasure of marrying last Saturday at this beautiful venue. Our coordinator, Ellie Bernstein was phenomenal. From start to finish she kept us on track, was thorough always responsive/made herself available & her experience & organizational skills has made her a master of herding cats with patience, grace, thoughtfulness & attention to detail. Highly recommend this venue & Ellie to make your day the most wonderful day & your vision come true.

The Historic post office is an absolutely gorgeous venue on the inside and outside. The rooms for both the bride and groom to get ready in had everything that our bridal party and services needed to help prepare our big day. Our day of coordinator from the HPO, Sylvia, went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly, so that our day was as stress free as possible. Whenever we think of the HPO we will think of the wonderful day we had there, and how hard our coordinator worked to make our day perfect.

This is a beautiful venue, but I have to be honest about my experience. I got married the day the area was experiencing bad weather due to a hurricane in Florida. the venue was amazing at reaching out to me the day before, letting me know I could bring things early, etc. The day of the wedding it was raining and windy and the building started to leak. Before I walked down the aisle someone place a garbage can by where the curtain would open for me, so my husband had my first look of me standing next to a trash can. People couldn't dance because there were trash cans and standing puddles of water. Half my guests left because they were older and afraid of slipping. There were water puddles in my reception space. No one bothered to speak to me about it, I emailed explaining why was I upset and they gave me a few dollars back, but with the amount of money I spent on the space I would have expected better. They cant control the weather, but they can control their communication.

Nothing says a successful wedding like a night where everything is perfect. Our wedding was hosted at The Historic Post Office in the downtown Hampton area. This venue is everything you would want and more. The venue has an open floor plan with a balcony overlooking the first floor as well as a bridal and groom suite. Their suites include showers, washer/dryer machines, a pool table, a kitchen and more! During our morning there, we were able to relax and get ready while our day-of coordinator, Silvia, managed everything happening downstairs. Silvia was the most helpful person we have ever worked with. She coordinated all other vendors and set up all the decorations for us. If you use The Historic Post Office as your venue, we’d definitely suggest using one of their day-of coordinators! Everyone there is beyond professional and will certainly make your wedding the easiest and most enjoyable day possible.

The Historic Post Office and all of their staff were absolutely amazing! We had our dream wedding here and have gotten so many compliments about it. The ceremony/reception spaces are stunning and the bridal/groom suites were above and beyond what we saw at any other venue. HPO also offers so many options beyond just the venue rental including coordination services and rental items. We decided to use their coordination services and got the pleasure of working with Kate. She was so helpful and kind and always put us at ease while working through the planning process, and on the day of the wedding, she helped make sure everything went exactly as we planned! I am so glad we chose HPO and would do it again in a heartbeat!

We had such a wonderful experience with the HPO venue and their coordination service option. It’s their venue and boy do they know how to run the show. I’m sure that all of the coordinators are wonderful, but we were lucky to have had Ellie Bernstein beside us. We enjoyed every meeting leading up to the big day, helpful tips, and vendor recommendations. She helped us make sure things where addressed, gave us assignments, and was always available to answer questions. I can’t say enough about that because we opted to plan our own wedding and this was JUST the right support we needed. We still drove things—- but her wisdom was vital to our success. She helped execute our set up and breakdown perfectly. From what I hear the breakdown is always a bit of a scramble. That’s the only advice I’ll give is plan ahead (more then you think needed) to leave with things that night. There are always little things that happen with these events, behind the scenes, and I promise you don’t want to handle them on your most important day. You can trust the HPO team to have your back and have your best interests. I highly recommend. The venue is gorgeous and a perfect canvas for however you want to make it your own event. The area is perfect with bars that are walking distance and a nice hotel around the corner. It’s the full package.

Best kept secret in Hampton Roads! We were so pleased with all that comes with using HPO as your venue! Guest have been complementing us days following the wedding on how beautiful The Historic Post Office is and how they’ve never been to such a nice well organized venue! We cannot say enough! If you want a venue that comes with their own vendors/wedding planner/all inclusive and or flexibility to bring in your own please look here first!

The Historic Post Office in Hampton was a dream venue for our wedding! The inclusive packages offered an array of options for any celebration and the al a carte additional services available were awesome touches to add flare to the event. We had an incredible experience planning our wedding. Both our ceremony and reception were held at HPO. We had the pleasure of working with one of the in-house coordinators, Ellie, who was a gem and vital part of our special day! Ellie met with us several times and was always a text or phone call away to answer any questions or brainstorm about concerns. Her expertise helped guide us into the perfect elements of our wedding. Ellie was always kind, respectful, friendly and professional. For a bride like myself, who wanted to know every detail throughout the planning process, Ellie was a God send. She offered my mind and heart wisdom and relief in the exact right moments I needed it. Ellie made my wedding better. She made the day so much more enjoyable because of the peace of mind she offered. The HPO team, Ellie included, were all very responsive and helpful. They worked tirelessly the day of our event, and transformed each portion of our wedding into its own unique visual landscape. Of the venues we visited locally, none compare to the offerings or caliber of HPO. We could rave all day long about how much we loved HPO and how perfectly suited this venue was for our wedding day. HPO will proudly and forever be etched in our memories, for the rest of our lives.

We hosted our wedding at Historic Post Office last November, and it was a truly amazing experience. The building itself is absolutely gorgeous, with so many places to take beautiful wedding photos. The bistro lights wide archways give it a modern, but elegant feel. It was also one of the few places we looked at that had a bride suite and a groom suite, both huge, cute, and comfy for the hours leading up to our event as we got ready. The staff was so easy to work with - Kelsey and Madeline helping from booking until our day, being so accommodating during the challenges of the pandemic and so communicative in answering all our questions. We hired Ellie through the HPO as our day of coordinator, and she was a Rockstar and a blessing. She made us feel so comfortable and supportive of our unique wedding details. She went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly and look stunning, and could not have done it without her. We would not hesitate to recommend the Historic Post Office to anyone looking for a location to host a special event. Our time there was one we will never forget.

I could write 100, 5 star reviews I would! The Historic Post Office made the greatest day of my life even better. Ellie was our coordinator and I'll never be able to say enough good things about her. Ellie and the entire staff at HPO ensured my big day was as amazing as absolutely possible. This venue is not only gorgeous, but filled with the best staff possible!

My daughter Elizabeth Y. chose The Historic Post Office in Hampton, VA and we couldn’t have been happier! HPO did an AWESOME job! We used many of their recommended vendors and they were all great.

We couldn’t be more happy with our decision to host our wedding at the Historic Post Office with Madeline as our coordinator. The venue is conveniently located next to The Landing hotel where we had a room block and along the same street are a variety of restaurants, bars and coffee shops that our guests could walk to. We seriously had the most amazing experience and wouldn’t haven’t changed a thing! Madeline is super easy to work with and made our day very seamless and enjoyable. We are so happy we chose the HPO!

Amazing! From our initial visit in 2018 until we finally able to have our reception on April 23, 2022. The staff was friendly and easy to work with. Even through the disappointments of having to reschedule TWICE because of COVID. My daughter had 3 locations to see when we were planning and HPO was the first and final venue. She and my SIL were immediately sold on the beautiful facility.

I would just like to start by saying that we had an amazing time a fulfilled all of our wedding dreams at the Historic Post Office. Not only was the staff amazing but they made sure our day was absolutely perfect. The venue holds so much beauty in itself you really can get away with minimal decoration. From the time we got to the post office to the time we left we were treated like royalty. I have to give all of the credit to Ellie our wedding coordinator ( who I would highly recommend) because she knows the operation and how it needs to run. She is a staff member at the HPO and can also be utilized for a day of coordinator. Our wedding was a weird one because it had to be rescheduled 3 times due to Covid. With that said Ellie and the HPO staff accommodated our every need. I would recommend this wedding venue to everyone I see and if you are reading this look no further. This building is an all in 1 type deal that you can’t pass up.

The HPO is a fantastic venue and has been a dream location for the wedding for a while now! Our DOC Ellie took care of everything on the day of and was reassuring during the entire planning process. The HPO team goes above and beyond to ensure every couple and their planning process are well cared for and everything is handled beautifully. I am so grateful I was able to be married here!!

I cannot say enough great things about the Historic Post Office. From day one, they provided direct and concise communication which made comparing venues very easy and is one of the many things that drew us there. The day-of-coordination service is one of the most helpful a la carte items they offer. Our DOC was able to guide us to vendors within our price range, answer any and all questions we had, and really helped us shape our day through her questions and experience. We were one of the countless couples who had to postpone their big celebration due to the pandemic but we were fortunate enough to be able to use the HPO for our elopement in 2021 and celebration in 2022. Having the DOC as a point of contact at both events was so special and she went above and beyond to ensure that our elopement was still a sweet and memorable day. The bridal suite and grooms lounge access kept the day stress free and running on time, there was plenty of space for the wedding party to get ready comfortably, and also provide beautiful backdrops for getting ready photography and portraits. It is so easy to customize your event through add-ons like lighting, the venue itself is a perfect canvas for any mood/vibe/theme imaginable, and the HPO team has the experience to ensure a smooth wedding day. I would recommend the HPO and their coordination services to any and everyone, it is, in my opinion, the perfect venue.

I would pick the HPO as my wedding venue 100 times over. I cannot say enough good things about not only the venue itself but the staff too. Marie was our DOC and she was amazing! I never imagined myself having a wedding so I was a bit lacking in the idea department but she was so patient and helped me every step of the way! Fast-forward to the day of and her along with the rest of the team and the other vendors brought my vision to LIFE! All I had to worry about was getting ready and it was so nice to not feel stress after months of feeling like I was ONLY stressing. Check them out! You won’t regret it!

The Historic Post Office (HPO) in Hampton provided the perfect backdrop for our December wedding. From start to finish, the staff at the HPO succeeded in making our experience fun and relaxing. Our wedding had approximately 150 guests, and the HPO comfortably seated everyone in their downstairs space. Leading up to the wedding, our day-of coordinator – Kelsey – managed all the important details and responded to our questions quickly. Her experience and insight clearly showed on the big day, as all aspects of our ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. As for the venue itself, we could not have imagined a better location. The bridal and groom’s suites gave us a luxurious setting to prepare for our big day, complete with separate bathrooms, kitchens, televisions, and lots of space for everything we needed to get ready. As for the ceremony, pictures cannot do justice to how beautiful the setting was. The HPO has great acoustics; every word in the ceremony echoed clearly throughout the building. The HPO staff worked efficiently to flip the downstairs from ceremony to reception as the guests moved upstairs for cocktail hour. As we stated before, they were able to comfortably seat our 150 guests in the space downstairs for dinner. Everyone had an excellent time on the dance floor in the reception. Finally, it’s worth noting that the HPO is no more than a 5-minute walk from the Landing at Hampton Marina – a high quality hotel that hosted many of our guests at a reasonable price. In all, the Historic Post Office and its staff have our highest recommendation for anyone seeking a wedding venue in the Hampton Roads area. You will not be disappointed!

The staff at the HPO were amazing. We used a day-of coordinator (DOC) through them and it helped tremendously! Ellie (DOC) was incredible!!! The venue has so much character. We kept our decor simple and it looked elegant. I would highly recommend the HPO to other couples looking to get married.

We absolutely loved this venue for our wedding day on Dec. 1, 2021. We chose a daytime wedding! Our goal was to be affordable for our small -ish covid safe wedding. The Historic Post Office delivered! We left our wedding debt free! Almost everything was included in the price! We got a few extras which were worth it but not very expensive at all. We were able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception here with 50 people. Picturesque location! All of the staff were quick to respond and helpful every step of the way! Run to this venue to get married!

Our daughter and her now-husband got married at the HPO on 10-24. They booked it two years ago but, due to the pandemic, had to postpone until just recently. The staff at the HPO is amazing and Kelsey and Madeline were just so great at communicating through the delay. The venue itself is gorgeous and there are so many beautiful areas for decorating and photo ops. Having the option of set up/breakdown being handled made things so much easier and less stressful for the day of the wedding. One of the BEST features of the venue is the bridal suite. It is HUGE and there was plenty of room for 5 bridesmaids, flower girl, mother and grandmother, the bride, MOB, makeup artists and hair stylists, and various people that peeked in. The bridal party got their early in the morning and we had music going (definitely recommend a wireless speaker), food and mimosas...it is such a great space to relax and get ready. You always hear about the stress of the wedding day, so to see the bride and all her bridesmaids just enjoying the day and getting pampered with no worries was fabulous. There is also a groom's suite next door that has a pool table, tvs, leather chairs, small kitchen, etc. We put a cooler of drinks in the hallway so everyone from both sides could help themselves. I can't stress enough how wonderful it is to have EVERYTHING in one space...especially when it comes to decorating. Being able to do the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception there was great. Having the bride come out of the side hall and down the small staircase to her song (before coming around and going down the longer staircase) was SO dramatic and gave everyone a sneak peek before she came down the aisle. Everything about the wedding was just so beautiful, and I can't recommend this venue enough!

Madeline and the HPO crew gave my husband and I our dream wedding ! She was always available for any and all questions and she always knew how to keep me calm and relaxed! All our visits really prepared me and my husband for the big day and we are so grateful we had Madeline by our side! The entire night she always had everything under control, even when our arch was barely hanging on and could have fallen over at any point, Madeline helped set up the arch to try and keep it as steady as it could be! Loved having her as our DOC because there are so many little details, I never would of thought of and didn’t even have to worry about because we had her! Can’t believe our wedding has come and gone, but so thankful we were able to celebrate with our friends and family at the most beautiful venue, ever!

This was the perfect venue for our wedding! We were able to have both our ceremony and reception here and it was everything we could have asked for! Highly recommend having your wedding here as well as utilizing their day of coordination- it took the stress out of everything!

We just had our wedding here and it was amazing! We did the elopement package which is all inclusive for a great price. Everything was taken care of for us and the staff was so helpful! They were very accommodating throughout the whole process. They worked really hard to make sure all of our wants and needs were met. To top it all off, the venue looks amazing. You have to put very little effort into decorating because the venue is gorgeous on its own. It was 100% worth every dollar spent.

The Historic Post Office is a beautiful venue for both your wedding ceremony and reception! Not only that, the staff is amazing! Everyone is super helpful and they really were great about handling weddings postponed due to the pandemic. The bridal suites are an amazing feature and help to make your special day even more special. Do yourself a favor and book HPO for your wedding!

My husband and I used the Post Office for our June 2021 wedding and could not have asked for a better experience! With COVID having the possibility of impacting our wedding, the staff kept us up to date with evolving restrictions as we got closer to our date and was prompt to answer any questions we had. The bridal and groom's suites were perfect for us to get ready for our big day and the venue itself is stunning. We are so glad we went with the Post Office for our event!

I knew I wanted my wedding to be at The Historic Post Office and actually booked and paid my deposit before touring. The venue is breathtaking and the staff is phenomenal. There is no better wedding venue in my opinion. There is so much history in the building and it’s absolutely beautiful. I recommend The HPO to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

This is a beautiful venue! Easy to decorate and the staff is wonderful!

From the moment I walked into The Historic Post Office I knew I HAD to get married there. My husband and I booked this venue a little over a year ago to be sure that we got it! Our wedding was March 14th 2020 and it was a day I’ll never forget. Madeline was AMAZING through the wedding planning process and always kept me calm and handled so much so I didn’t have much to worry about. She communicated with all my vendors which took a lot of the stress off of me. For that, I will forever be grateful! The staff on the day of was great! The venue itself is so beautiful and helped my dreams come true! Best day ever!💕

The Historic Post Office was the most wonderful venue for our July wedding. The upstairs suites were so comfortable and made getting ready so easy. My bridal party had beautiful light for makeup and hair. While my groom and his groomsmen had a blast playing pool. Madeline was our day of coordinator and she was amazingly organized, punctual, and made sure our day went exactly as planned. Many guests reach out to us after our wedding exclaiming about beauty of the HPO. We are beyond happy with the HPO and with Madeline!

If I could give The Historic Post Office 100 stars I would, and every one of them would be well-deserved. Picking your wedding venue is one of the most pivotal decisions you make as a couple because it impacts everything (how your day look and feels, your guest experience, etc. etc.). When I walked into the HPO for the first time, I knew I had found my dream wedding venue. The building itself is beautiful and is filled with historic details that give it a timeless look. Yet, the team at the HPO has done an amazing job of ensuring it is as practical as it is beautiful. There are SIX bathrooms (it sounds silly, but once you go to a wedding with a long bathroom line, this becomes an important detail), a BEAUTIFUL bridal suite, and a guy-friendly groomsmen suite. The venue is beautiful as is, but it is really easy for each couple to customize the space to match their personalities. The venue has in-house lighting that is so useful at achieving this. The HPO is truly an amazing wedding venue, but the team there is really what makes it stand out as the best (in my personal opinion) wedding venue in Hampton Roads. Kelsey and Madeline are incredibly professional and organized. When I arrived for my first tour of the HPO, I was given a folder with all types of materials about the venue, recommended vendors, pricing, etc. This was an anomaly, but a welcomed one. That level of organization and attention to detail was the standard that the HPO team held up throughout our wedding planning process. Speaking of the planning process, the best decision we made throughout it was hiring Madeline Wheeler with the HPO as our Day-Of-Coordinator. My husband and I cannot sing her praises enough. She is so terrific at what she does and made the wedding planning process easy and made our wedding day completely stress-free. Madeline is organized and professional with a spectacular attention-to-detail and calm personality that makes her a dream to work with. My husband and I were able to be completely present during our wedding day because of her hard work!

I am not sure that I can say enough amazing things about the Historic Post Office! As soon as we walked in, we knew that this was where we wanted to get married. We actually changed our wedding date to match what was available! The space is absolutely beautiful but still gives you room to decorate and make it your own. Our guests are still raving about this venue. Kelsey from the Historic Post Office was our day of planner and we could not be happier with all of the help that she provided. Kelsey absolutely went above and beyond to make our wedding day magical. I could not imagine a better place to share such a special day!

I fully recommend The Historic Post Office to anyone looking for an amazing wedding ceremony/reception venue. It was the perfect for our wedding reception and our pictures are amazing. All of our guests absolutely loved the place. Everything was perfect. The atmosphere inside and out is great. I couldn't imagine my wedding reception being held anywhere else. The bridal and groom suites are wonderful and beautiful. Kelsey worked was our day of coordinator. She was very responsive even with a newborn! Kelsey helped me remember so many details towards the end that I would surely have forgotten. Her suggestions and recommendations for other vendors were amazing. She worked directly with my other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. The reception was perfect and if anything went wrong I was completely unaware. You can't go wrong with this venue or Kelsey.

Our wedding at the HPO was an absolute dream! From our first visit all the way to our reception exit everything was perfect. The staff is so warm and welcoming, they made sure everything during the planning process through the day of went so incredibly smooth. The bridal party suites are to die for, and all of our guests are still raving about the reception space - this place is absolutely gorgeous!! We cant thank the staff at the HPO enough for working with our vendors to ensure our day was nothing short of perfect.

This venue is incredible and the bridal suite is TO DIE FOR. I almost didn’t want to leave! There is very little decoration required as the natural aesthetics of the building are just lovely. Even better than the venue however, is the level of service that they provide! We hired Madeline for Day of Coordination services and there are not enough words to describe how thoughtful and engaged she was with our wedding! She absolutely knocked it out of the park! There are so many little details that go into a wedding and it’s very easy to forget – however with Madeline on your side you will have the BEST WEDDING EVER. She helped us with everything from napkin folds, to timelines, to reassuring me that everything would go perfectly. It’s hard to believe that such a big event went off without a hitch! I was feeling under the weather by the end of the night and asked Madeline to push up the exit by 45 minutes and she alerted all the vendors and coordinated the whole exit, as well as my wardrobe change on the drop of a dime. I can’t stress enough how comprehensive and the services were! If you want superior service from a calm, organized, friendly, and extremely thorough coordinator, then Madeline is definitely the best choice!

We booked both our venue and day-off coordinator through HPO (Madeline). Our wedding at HPO was an absolute DREAM! The venue is gorgeous and so, so timeless. The HPO staff is courteous, knowledgeable, and easy to get in touch with. I honestly felt so relaxed the day of my wedding because I knew everything was taken care of. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our entire experience, start to finish.

Amazing venue! We had guests complementing the space all night! From start to finish the girls of the HPO were helpful and friendly and the space was perfect!

When looking for wedding venues, we started our search at the Historic Post Office and quickly ended our search after visiting. The space is just beautiful, with a modern, industrial aesthetic that was both trendy yet classic in appeal. If offers plenty of space to layout your wedding in the best way for you, with options like a back patio or balcony area for cocktail hour, different areas for a bar or food layout, and all sorts of options for dinner. Not to mention a helpful staff on hand to help you with all of your needs. The real kicker, however, is the bridal and groomsman suites, which are out of this world. They offer private bathrooms and dressing rooms, a pool table, foosball table, and kitchen area. It is insane. We had almost as fun in there getting ready for the wedding as we did at the wedding. You can not find a better place to have your wedding in all of Hampton Roads.

I am so happy we had our wedding here. The venue is beautiful, clean, spacious, and so unique! The bridal suite is gorgeous and the groom's suite is perfect for the guys. I especially loved all of the options we had for layouts and entrances/exits. I would certainly recommend the HPO to anyone!

I was in a wedding at the Historic Post Office this fall. The venue was so beautiful and the workers were very helpful. The bridal sweet- WOW. It was plenty of space for us to fully spread out and get ready at our own pace with the huge mirrors and natural light. Outside was stunning for photos and the natural look of the building was already beautiful. Being able to be in the venue all day was a blessing! We did not feel rushed in decorating or getting ready. Highly recommend this beautiful venue and amazing staff (Shout out to Madeline, who was always helpful and kind!)

I wish I could give more than a 5!!! Besides the venue being absolutely stunning and the perfect layout, the staff was phenomenal! Kelsey and her team were incredible to deal with. Always responsive and always helpful. Having them around definitely calmed all my nerves and made it so i could enjoy a relaxing morning in the stunning bridal suite getting ready without worrying about things. The bridal suites are stunning!!!! The perfect place to get ready with your girls or play pool with your guys. This day was perfect and exactly what we wanted all thanks to the HPO and their staff. P.S. If you're a natural light lover like myself, the venue has TONS!

We were very excited to be married here! It is gorgeous, and we booked last year. Sadly life events happen and we had to move our wedding date. We reached out to the venue, and changed the date and changed it to the elopement package. We needed to put down an additional deposit to secure that date. Unfortunately the day before we were to pay the deposit, we found out the baby we were expecting had passed. The following day we had to go into surgery. Even with everything going on, my fiance called and explained what was going on. He asked to be called to see if we could take care of it the following week. He specifically asked to be contacted so that i would not have to worry about it. Sadly we did not get a call but instead a few days later i received an email that was not received well. Keep in mind, we already had money invested in this venue we were not asking for anything free, just for a few days so we could at least physically heal from our loss. I was grieving, and i did not appreciate the email that was filled with "we could or should charge you for this", it ended with them allowing us to pay a week later. I thought on it for days, and ultimately decided to let go of our dream wedding venue, knowing full well that we would lose our money. Weddings are about emotion, i fully understand it is a business that you are running but you also have to remember that you are dealing with people who have lives, and life is unpredictable. In a perfect world i would still be expecting my baby and planning my wedding here..but unfortunately i am not doing either. I lost my deposit because ultimately i did not feel happy about doing business after how i was addressed...

Beautiful venue with an even more beautiful staff. My wedding was nothing short of a fairytale.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Historic Post Office in Hampton! The staff is experienced in the event and wedding industry. They were very helpful during preparation for our wedding and offered lots of suggestions of different vendors and locations in the area. The day of our wedding, they helped make sure that everything was going well. The actual venue is a blank slate that can be dressed up as much or as little as you deem necessary for your event. The black iron railings, dark wood floors, and white textured walls offer a lovely backdrop for any wedding. One of the major selling points for us were the bridal suite and grooms lounge. They are wonderful places to get ready before your event. The bridal suite has a TON of mirrors and outlets; it is readily apparent that a lot of thought was put into the design of the space. The grooms lounge has a foosball table, slot machine, pool table, leather couch, and kitchenette. The guys loved hanging out and relaxing before the wedding. My understanding is that options and offerings are changing rapidly but when we booked our wedding this is what was included in our rental price: 5 hour event, access to the venue starting at 9am, 1 hour rehearsal before the event, tables, and customizable uplighting. Chaffari chairs located at the venue are actually owned by Waterford events so you have to rent them. They also recently got 2 bars that are available for rent. I believe they are now offering linen rentals but weren't available when we signed our contract. Because of the limited offerings, we had to rent linens, cups, plates, and silverware through a rental company. We rented a bar and chairs through the HPO. We were a bit disappointed in what wasn't included for the rental price as all of the extra costs on top of the price for the venue put us a bit over budget. The minimal offerings make the venue maximally customizable for your wedding but isn't necessarily best for a bride who is on a budget or doesn't have lots of time to research vendors and rentals. Another monetary item to consider is that the HPO requires you to have a day-of coordinator which is another expense but was helpful the day of. One other minor complaint was that the wifi was spotty. Our DJ used the wifi to stream music and the wifi kicked him off of all of his devices during our first dance. Overall, we loved the HPO for our wedding. If you are on a budget, make sure you look into everything that is or isn't included in the price and other requirements of the venue. I would highly recommend the HPO for weddings and other events needing a large classy space.

First of all, the Historic Post Office is absolutely beautiful. From the moment you pull up to the front stairs, to the beautiful hard wood floors and then the bridal suites...oh my gosh, the bridal suites. This venue could not have been anymore perfect for my husband and I. We were able to get ready, have our ceremony, reception and exit all in the same location. Kelsey and Madeline are so wonderful. We always felt very informed and in-the-loop. I would book with them again in a heartbeat! Thank you ladies so much!
