I’m so glad we chose this venue! After our wedding, the guests were raving about their experience in the space (we used only the main house, but the venue has an adjoining large e...vent space that is also beautiful). If you did zero to decorate, the house would impress on its own. We put red roses everywhere and it soared to an even higher level of elegance! We used a caterer from the venue’s preferred vendor list and the experience was top notch service from both vendors in a seamless delivery of outstanding service with a personal touch that was delivered in a way that made us feel like we were valued and that the vendors truly cared. This is a venue perfectly suited for a couple who want more than a typical event hall can offer. The space is filled with rich architectural details, crystal chandeliers, glowing wall sconces, beautiful fireplaces, dreamy curtains, wood floors, an incredible wooden staircase, high ceilings, ornate mirrors, dedicated brides dressing area, and tasteful decor chosen to befit the time period of the house. It’s an experience, not just a party space. There are imperfections in places; it’s an older building. A shopper needs to understand that imperfections are part of the story of time and that yes, there will be a crease in the wall or a crack in a tile that hasn’t been restored to full perfection— but these imperfections are not a detriment. They are part of living memory of the house and can be embraced as such. Everything functions as it needs to and works together to offer a space with new discoveries to be made around each corner. It’s hard to find words to describe how special it felt to occupy this space for the few days it was ours.
Joshua met us at arriving and quickly set to work placing tables and chairs in the best formation for our needs. He asked us for feedback at every step and even created a custom cut of our wedding processional so it would time out perfectly. He made a deeper red napkin happen in short order and acted as a day-of coordinator for the rest of our vendors. The result was pure perfection. Nothing hiccuped. Each of our services worked together with utmost professionalism and our day was better than I imagined it could be. This vendor can be trusted to deliver.
The day after our wedding, my husband and I packed, cleared a few items out of the kitchen, and the took one last private dance under the chandeliers in the area at the base of the grand staircase. It was just the two of us in the house and an extra special way to both say goodbye to this beautiful place and set forth on our new life together. My eyes welled up as I pressed the keypad to engage the lock when we made our final exit. Those were an incredible final few minutes to savor the space, our special time, and the magic bubble that we’d been living in for two days at the Von Isley. My eyes are misty right now just recalling it. I’m so grateful for such a lovely experience.
I give it a whole hearted 5 stars! You and your guests deserve to experience the Von Isley and all that it has to offer! Just book it. You’ll fall in love as soon as you cross the threshold.
