    My husband and I were impressed the most with this venue when we were researching venues to hold our wedding and we are so glad we chose this place. We had the best time ever the entire family that owns the Jacob Henry Mansion were the most amazing people to work with. They made the wedding so easy the planning process was such a breeze. We will definitely be using this venue again for all kinds of future events. We even started planning our five year anniversary at this place.
