White Chimneys Estate

s gorgeous and spacious. The patio with the tent is a dream, looking out at the surrounding gardens and fields is gorgeous. We toured White Chimneys in the winter. The wedding was June 4th. A summer wedding is spectacular but it would have been spectacular anytime of the year!The bridal suite is incredible. There was enough space to accommodate my daughter & eight bridesmaids, all getting hair & make up done.. They spent the day laughing and giggling-just relaxing & enjoying the day. They were free to wander around, inside and out. It made for a relaxing day. The groom & groomsmen had plenty of space to gather in the groom suite. They were free to play cornhole, sit & chat on the patio, do whatever they desired. The event planning was easy. Jessica made everything simple & kept us on target. One of our goals was to not have to do anything but show up & get dressed on the day of the wedding. She understands & is prepared to get that done. There was no need for a wedding planner as she does it all. We did hire a day of planner, Patty (supplied by Jessica), who was amazing the day of the wedding. She kept everything running smoothly & stayed connected all day. Patty made sure we were where we needed to be at the right time, but she never seemed in the way. We loved her! Jessica has an incredible sense of what is needed & what might be a waste of money. She told me several times, “yes, you can do that, but I think you will find it to be a waste of money.” I am glad I always listened to her advice. She does not nickel & dime brides & families. She has assorted items to add on, but does not do any high-pitched sales. The venue the day of the wedding looks just like the tour. You are not paying separate for the drapery and lights like many other places. The venue is decorated beautifully with the draperies, lights, etc. If there is anything you want or need, ask Jessica, she either has it or knows where to find it. Jessica also supplies a list of preferred vendors but does not require you use them as many places do. We used several of her vendors & were quite delighted with all. Roaming Libations does the bar service, & the bartenders did an amazing job! I was concerned over the bar area as we had approximately 200+ people however, the bartenders were fast, efficient, and friendly. The venue accommodated all our guests easily. There was more than enough room for everyone to gather and dance the night away. Never did we feel as though we were crowded. Should you not be able to use the outdoor space due to weather, don't worry, Jessica has a plan. This is important as she can’t control the weather, but she can control how the events take place. The patio is tented & is large. If forced inside, we still would have had plenty of space for our guests. We had so many compliments about how nice everything turned out. Along the way, we met the entire White Chimneys family, & they are all a delight!!! They just want everyone to enjoy the celebration! Jessica’s dad stopped me many times during trips to the venue and the day of the wedding to see if we needed anything or just to see how we were doing. It is just incredible how much they love what they do! We definitely had the party of a lifetime.

tive speaker. Many wedding customs are new to me. Miriam explained to select the best option for me, and she was very flexible to handle the unexpected things. I highly recommend this venue.

of the venue (Jessica) as my coordinator last minute. I had not worked with her in any planning meeting beforehand (I had previously worked with Miriam who was great). I assumed my previous meetings would be fed to her regarding what I wanted & my vision, but the rehearsal would figure everything else out. At the start of the rehearsal, she was nowhere to be found to give direction. Once she finally showed up, she was texting on her phone the entire time and offered no suggestions or feedback as to how people should walk, where they should stand, etc. She generally looked miserable the whole time & I have her in the back of many pictures just on her phone. She then rushed us out after exactly 1 hour, even though we started late because of her. On my wedding day, it was raining all morning & I could not set up the outdoor portion for the ceremony, to which I was told multiple times “don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it.” She was again nowhere to be found all day, except for when she was giving tours to other prospective couples. What she did set up was rushed & not as planned (and she never came and asked me anything). She was walking around in the parking lot on her phone when the ceremony was to begin & my husband had to run up to her to ask if everyone should start (she was supposed to escort us all to our stations - I had to send a bridesmaid to figure out how to get to our starting point without having guests see me) to which she just shrugged and said sure. She had the DJ set up in a totally different place than originally discussed so I couldn’t hear my cue to walk down the aisle. Once she finally arrived, I asked her if I should start walking and all she said was, “well is this your song?” Once it was cocktail hour/reception time, they also did not light a single votive or candle or string light. We were also told she would have heaters outside if it was too cold & my mom had to find her to demand where they were, as people were outside shivering (surprise, she was inside on her phone). I had MULTIPLE people (including other vendors, bridal party, parents AND some guests) complain about her attitude & inattentiveness. We also went through 2 “preferred” DJs, one who took our money and ran & another that never responded to us. The DJ we finally chose (from friends) then had problems hooking up to their equipment, even though we had to pay an extra fee to “allow” him to use their sound system. Luckily, most people did not notice the things that went wrong, but I spent lots of $$$ on all these details that were completely disregarded & she was nowhere to be found for the majority of the day (and charged a hefty fee for her “services,” which was not quoted ahead of time & we were told to just bring her a blank check). So overall, again, beautiful venue, the rest of the staff (and Roaming Libations led by Miriam as the bar staff) was absolutely amazing, but the owner really put a bad taste in peoples’ mouths. I had heard negative things about her from other weddings there but I didn’t really have a choice & thought she would want to do a great job as the owner. I was wrong to not push back & request another coordinator (and if you have your wedding there, request anyone other than Jessica).

a booklet and provided us a grace period as to determine if we want to move forward with that venue or not. We did accept because she was very welcoming. However, in the planning process, she did have a planner who was very upfront about doing things in a certain manner to which we were kind of put off on. I did want a certain vision and it did come to fruition in the end however, our wedding day planner Hannah was so accommodating and nice that I could not give her a higher accolade because she does deserve that! The wedding day ran so smoothly because of her, and it was a perfect day, and the best venue to have an outdoor wedding. I could not tell you the amount of feedback we got from the venue being gorgeous. I would recommend this venue for your wedding, but I would also recommend Hannah as your day of planner!

edding was!

our wedding day, but also throughout the whole wedding planning process. In the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, Jessica kept us on track and organized and we felt so grateful that she was also our day-of coordinator! We had a few moments on the wedding day where we were totally unprepared and Jessica fluidly took charge and saved the day. Both my husband and I felt pretty calm and stress-free the entire day and I think that's due in large part to Jessica. We knew she had it all handled and because of that we could relax a little and just enjoy our wedding.  White Chimneys is a stunning venue: The gardens, the barn, the bridal suite ... all of it. You couldn't take a bad pic if you tried! We also loved how much flexibility and choice we had in planning the wedding. We chose our own caterer and food truck, purchased exactly what and how much alcohol we wanted (And saved a ton of money while doing so, btw! The BYOB aspect of WC was a game-changer), had a fantastic band, and were able to utilize essentially every part of the property that we wanted. Plus we had a shot donkey which our guests still can't stop talking about!  Our main goals for the wedding were (a) to get married and (b) show everyone a great time. It may sound like an obvious objective, but making sure all our guests had fun was so so important to us and Jessica and the WC staff really did help us achieve that tenfold. One month out, we're just so happy with every aspect of the wedding.   To all the engaged couples searching for a venue, I genuinely cannot recommend White Chimneys enough! (Though I'm jealous of anyone else who still gets to get married there! I want to re-do and re-live our day over and over and over again!)

ons. On the wedding day, Miriam made sure we were on schedule, rallied the guest, corralled the wedding party, and took all the stress out of the big day. The venue was absolutly beautiful, with flowers, the fountain, the little pond, the best greenery, and two adorable cows. My guest are still taking about how lovely my wedding venue was over three months later! I want to thank Miriam for making my special day even more special. Miriam has an eye for color and decorations. She can talk you into or out of something, depending on your needs; she has seen it all! Also, she owns Roaming Libations, a bartending service that can be added on, she did an amazing job with the alcohol estimates and has experience making delicious and creative cocktails to add an extra special touch to the big day. She makes a great sangria and spicy margarita! 10/10 would get married here again.

were easy to work with and so very helpful. We had about 200 guests and the indoor and outdoor space was able to accommodate this.

le detail. We would recommend White Chimneys to anyone looking for an amazing and personal venue for their wedding!

went over and above to make everything effortless for us. Everything was done with a touch of class. Patty, as our day of coordinator, handled everything seamlessly. My daughter and her husband had the day they always dreamed of, and White Chimneys made that possible. I would highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

dding and give my mom and I a tour with hardly any notice. The venue has every option you could dream of for pictures and set up with a nice garden, farmhouse, and barn. The barn is classy with gorgeous chandeliers and is heated! The venue was gorgeous, clean, and perfect for my intimate 25 guest wedding! Thank you Jessica for everything!

rselves, anything we needed or didn’t even know we wanted she made happen. Cannot stress how amazing this venue is !!!

e your ceremony and reception however you want it. Jessica was wonderful from start to finish and was always kind, helpful & always willing to answer our questions. Our day of coordinator Patty was fantastic. She was so on the ball with keeping everything organized and running smoothly. She really helped us feel at ease on the big day, which is so reassuring when there’s so many moving parts. We got tons and tons of compliments on how beautiful everything was from our guests too! Would recommend White Chimneys over and over again!

ceremony under the tent and still have the gardens as a beautiful background. It was so intimate and romantic. Just as our first dance by the Lilly pond was. I would 100% recommend using their day of coordinator Patty. She is amazing. She took everything off my shoulders and kept everything running smoothly so I didn’t have to think about anything but soaking up every moment of our day. She was amazing and so sweet, I couldn’t recommend her enough.

said, the process was really easy coordinating the bar (Roaming Libations), our outside catering and the band because Jessica was always available to answer questions or offer advice. The venue is absolutely beautiful and requires minimal decor if you choose to go that route (we did). We also hired Patty, the day of coordinator through White Chimneys, and at first I was skeptical because we weren't doing anything over the top as far as ceremony and decor but it's been 2 weeks since our wedding and I'm still talking about how amazing Patty was. 10/10 hire Patty!!! TL;DR if you are looking for a beautiful venue that knows what they are doing and has the day of down to a science - go with White Chimneys!

y give you a binder that helps you plan all the big and little details you need for the big day. They have a multitude of rentals available helping you avoid having to purchase items you’ll only need for your wedding day. Patty, the day if coordinator, was EXCEPTIONAL! She’s helpful, detail oriented, and most of all such a kind, funny, and warm person. If something went wrong I had no idea because she understood my vision and ran with it. Mariam, the owner of Roaming Libation Mobile Bar, and sister of Jessica, was truly our VIP. We had constructed a full rental kitchen able to feed 150 guests. She was the key part to making my (chef) husband’s wish to cater his own wedding possible. The day ran smooth, the entire staff were friendly, dedicated, and helpful beyond what was required of them. The venue is a stunning slate that you can do whatever your heart desires. I wouldn’t have changed one this about my wedding, the planning process, or the people we hired to help my it come true. Thank you White Chimneys for hosting the beginning of our forever!

ny site if it is raining outside! There is so much space for a large number of guests (we had about 150). Also, the barn has air conditioning and heat which makes it the perfect venue for any time of year. They also have the most gorgeous bridal suite. It is HUGE and has so much space for getting ready. Jess, the owner is amazing to work with. She is so kind and wants to make your day the best it can be. She is constantly adding new things to the venue. You can tell she loves what she does. We hired the day of coordinator from the venue named Patty and oh my gosh she was amazing. She made the day go off without any issues. She kept us on time and made sure it was a perfect day. I cannot recommend them enough! Please please please have your wedding here. You won’t regret it!

ndly space for our guests. Patty was our day of coordinator and did a fantastic job in making our day stress free. She took care of everything we needed. I couldn't have asked for a better venue! I highly recommend White Chimneys to anyone!

responsive. Miriam was excellent at organizing the the bar and cocktail hour for us. Patty made sure I didn’t have anything to worry about on the big day. I got to sit back and get ready with my bridesmaids knowing that everything was under control. Could not have had a better experience, especially during a pandemic!

esome in helping me think of all the details, down to silverware! They were flexible and provided the most wonderful ambiance off-site in a creative way. They brought the Roaming Libations bar- what a fantastic service!! Everyone commented on it! Our daughter and her husband were thrilled. The White Chimney Team is fantastic and you can't go wrong choosing their beautiful site and working with their marvelous staff.

as a dumb one. During all of the concerns with COVID while planning the wedding they were very supportive and reassuring. We would not have been able to handle the stress without having such an amazing team helping through everything. My husband and I strongly recommend Jessica and the rest of the White Chimney team while planning your wedding, we cannot imagine using anybody else.
