There’s no question that Hutton House is a *beautiful* venue that has space to accommodate guests no matter the weather. Our most important criteria for choosing a venue was space for an outdoor ceremony, a good back-up in poor weather, and som...ething that allowed a lot of natural light in. Hutton House hit all of those marks and we loved the minimal and modern style.
However, my husband and I had issues with contracts/agreements changing months *after* we had signed them and poor communication leading up to our day. Hutton House has a lot of rules that other venues seem to be more lenient on (drinks in the bridal/groom suites, choosing indoor/outdoor ceremony the night before the event instead of day-of, no flexibility on vendor pick-up, fees for a lot of things like cafe lights etc.). What was probably the most frustrating, was their bar list of wines, beers, and spirits kept changing leading up to the day, even after we gave our final selections and paid the original bar estimate. We were not notified of one of the changes which meant we were surprised by a spirit choice on our wedding day. After some discussion, we were able to understand what happened. However, it’s a shame that for such an expensive venue fee it still feels like you’re paying fee after fee and not getting the premium service a venue like Hutton House should be providing.
We do recommend Hutton House for the beautiful space, but be aware that the venue’s policies and management practices can be very frustrating. As for the actual wedding day, we love how the space looked and felt. Our guests had a wonderful experience on the day and the flow from the courtyard, to the fireside, to the lakeside room is very nice.
