Best Venue
The staff at the Harding Allen Estate are AMAZING! Professional, friendly, accommodating. Both the outdoor space and inside the Estate are beautiful. Right from our tour, we knew we had found our venue. Jasmine was responsive from the beginning and as our date neared she helped make sure everything was taken care of. The day ran so smoothly, and all of the staff were so nice. I loved that we could plan on having the wedding ceremony outdoors and if the weather failed us last minute, they'd be able to move us inside no problem. No stress needed! I cannot recommend them enough!!
Stepping Back to Whimsy
From the moment we first inquired about hosting our wedding at Harding Allen Estate, the team was incredibly timely, friendly, understanding, encouraging and welcoming. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special was unparalleled. The venue itself is simply gorgeous, with a fun and whimsical, almost fairy tale-like atmosphere. We were given the freedom to be silly, unique and move about the property as if we were all old friends, finding nooks and crannies to sit and talk for hours. One of our favorite memories was when I wanted a silly picture in the library, and the staff made sure the gentleman there stayed hidden, allowing us to play and giggle like kids in the dorms. The bridal suite was also set up waiting for us with lights and mimosas, so I could just relax and breathe, knowing everything was being handled with our best interests in mind. Harding Allen Estate truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect.

The Harding Allen Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was very clear and helpful, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or requests we had. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and spacious, with a gorgeous outdoor area that was perfect for our ceremony. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate any special requests, like using a tailgate as our guest book. They truly helped make our wedding day magical, and we are so grateful for their friendly, professional service. We highly recommend the Harding Allen Estate to any couples looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding venue.
Absolutely Perfect!!
I can truly say that my wedding day was perfect and everything I ever imagined. Jasmine and the estate staff was incredible to work with as they made sure our needs were met throughout the day and kept everything on staff. I was so relaxed!! My vision was executed perfectly and they were so sweet even the next morning as my husband and I were able to stay there that night. Their attention to detail and making your wedding week the best it can be is wonderful. I could not recommend The Harding Allen Estate more! You can tell they aren’t about your wanting your money, rather they are about making every couples wedding dreams come true!
