From the moment we started working with Emma at Castle Ladyhawke, we were impressed by their quick, efficient, and warm communication style. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with an authentic, charming feeling that made our wedding day feel truly special. The food was fantastic and despite complications it was a beautiful and magical day. While our initial coordinator, Emma, was great to work with over the 8 months leading up to the wedding, we were disappointed to learn upon arrival that she would not be there on the day. Her replacement, Kelsie, arrived late, did not have our updated documents, failed to communicate with the vendors that there was a space for them on the third floor, and seemed to lack the positive energy and personal responsibility we had come to expect. There were also a few small hiccups, like the arch being set up incorrectly initially. But overall, we had a wonderful, memorable day for us and our guests.

The venue was perfect for our beauty and the beast themed wedding! The director of sales was so helpful from start to finish? She communicated everything before the day, was available on rehearsal day and understanding when I wanted to do a run through like 10 times LOL. The day of the wedding was perfect and more than we could’ve ever asked for! My mom did all the decorating and catering and the tremont was there to help every time she needed!

Milepost 1808 Wedding Venue and Events was an incredible choice for our wedding. From the beginning, Jaime and her team were incredibly communicative, answering all of our questions quickly and efficiently. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful - we were blown away when we first toured it, as it was much more affordable than the other venues we had looked at that wanted three times as much. Milepost 1808 included so much more in their package, like tables, chairs, and linens, that we couldn't have gotten elsewhere. They were also very flexible, allowing us to use their bridal suite and inventory as needed. Jaime and her team truly went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. We are so grateful we chose Milepost 1808 and highly recommend it to any couple planning their wedding.
