Our experience at The Empress Estate was simply sublime. From our first point of contact, their communication was direct, clear and responsive, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself is truly magnanimous, with a spacious layout and a summer-shimmery gorgeous aesthetic that created the perfect ambiance for our special day. The food prepped was delicious and the dance floor space was awesome, allowing our guests to cut a rug late into the night.

The Classic Restored building made our day feel elegant and timeless. The food was AMAZING and the chef was supper accommodating to our requests.

First, if you have not stayed at the Allison Inn and Spa, that is a must! Second, if you are engaged you need to have your wedding here! My daughter's wedding was held here in August of 2024. The grounds and layout at the Allison are spectacular and perfect for a wedding. We had the ceremony in the lower Meadow Garden which was perfectly shaded as it was a sunny hot day. Then we had the cocktail hour on the lawn, followed by dinner and dancing in the ballroom. Truly the best venue!!! But most importantly it was the staff at the Allison. EVERYONE was so incredibly nice and kind. From Kameron, manager of wedding and social events, all the valets, chef, bartenders, waitstaff, and so many more that I met over the 4 days were constantly helpful, kind, and professional. The food was delicious and very well presented!! The specialty cocktails were such a hit and made to perfection. The desserts and baked goods were delicious. Kameron was such a delight to work with. She was extremely responsive to all our emails. She had many other events happening before and after our event but she always made us feel like we were so important. Kameron was always cheerful and pleasant to work with. Looking forward to going back to stay as guest again soon. This time, no wedding, just rest and relaxation!
