“From the onset when we first started talking to Bill and his team, he was attentive to our vision. His thoughtfulness, communication, and feedback helped put our minds at ease during the whole planning process. The mansion really is a one stop shop, especially if you have a more intimate wedding planned. Glassware, stemware, cutlery, and dishes are all available for the reception. We had our wedding in the fall and knew that we wanted amber glasses/ decor for the event and had let Bill know we were purchasing some of this for our guests to use. What we didn’t expect was for him to give us access to all of the existing decor in the mansion that matched our aesthetic. You’re truly not just getting a fantastic venue; you’re working with an amazing person. We also originally planned to have a tent for the reception (which Bill gave a list of recommended places to rent from), as well as our ceremony in a different part of the venue. We changed our mind as the wedding got closer and Bill was not only flexible with this, but supportive and understanding. He helped us layout where we wanted certain decorations to go, how the seating should be arrange, and helped us map out what the day of the wedding would look like. He was so professional and was arguably as excited about our wedding as we were. Leading up to the day of the wedding, some of our guests were staying at the mansion. Bill and his team prepared the rooms for our guests and even made the moments before the wedding memorable as well. They had full use of the mansion and he was a call away if anything was needed. The backyard was decorated with strings of lights, a dance floor, and he had both pews and chairs for our guests to sit in during the ceremony. As for the venue itself, it was originally built by a furniture manufacture near the early twentieth century. The incredibly detailed woodwork throughout the house and in the historic dining room furniture reflect this history beautifully. The downstairs has two fireplaces that made perfect locations for family and group photographs. A freak thunderstorm delayed our departure from the venue, and once again, Bill came through by allowing us to stay an additional night there to ensure our travels were safe. You really can search across the country, but we truly don’t believe you will find a better venue or team than you would here. It made a potentially stressful event into such an amazing start to our marriage.”

“When we first visited Kennedy Estates, it felt right and like we were meant to get married there. Candy was so easy to work with. She was quick to answer any questions that we might have had. My ultimate fear was that I would have to buy all of our decor but with Kennedy Estates, they have a ware house full of decor that is included in the price of your day. Day of, our coordinator was so amazing! She worked hard with all of our family and volunteers to make sure that our vision was possible. I wish I could go back to relive that day because this venue holds so many wonderful memories for me and my husband! Thank you so so much for everything!”

“The Lizton Lodge is absolutely stunning! They have such a beautiful property that they encourage you to treat as your own. The estate there has several amazing outdoor ceremony options and indoor ones that are equally as beautiful and don't feel like an afterthought. The staff was all so great to work with and Laura and Ken especially were amazing and made sure we had absolutely anything we could want and more! If you're looking for a picturesque venue with a caring and attentive staff, this is the place to book!!”
