Gorgeous event for my daughter’s wedding. Many guests complimented the venue. The food was delicious -5 stars. Danville bakery did a great job on the cake- 5 stars. The florals were beautiful- 4.5 stars. The bridal suite & groom’s private rooms are top notch. They had access to the venue for two additional hours before the contracted event time. A few hiccups for me that made it a 4 star event. The “pick a seat not a side” sign. I would not recommend using it as in our case one group took most of the seating in both front rows. Also the front rows on the right side had a lot of sun and a little warm even on a mild day. There are empty urns everywhere that you have to fill with your own flowers or leave empty. That was another $100 for plants that we didn’t want to spend. Make sure you read the entire binder. We were caught off guard with the coordinator leaving during dinner with three hours left in the event. It turns out it was actually in the binder that the coordinator would leave mid event, however it was never mentioned in any of our meetings and we missed reading that part in the binder. The coordinator will provide you with a phone number to contact them during the event if you need anything however I only got a response to one out of three texts and that was an initial “test message”. There are several add ons available for a fee including faux wisteria, which was offered to us at a discounted price . We declined paying a couple hundred to add on faux floral and then it turned out to be free. Presumably the florist didn’t want to take it down and put it back up between events. We definitely enjoyed the free upgrade. My daughter was charged a delivery fee for her ceremony florals despite the florist already contracted to provide the reception florals through the venue package which I felt was an unnecessary up-charge. We ended up missing some low value personal items from the bridal suite (no one would have stolen them) and no one knows who cleaned up/cleared out the room at the end of the night. I would recommend multiple point persons for making sure you’ve got everything when you leave. Our one point of contact said she felt rushed out of the venue by the staff. It cost about $15,500 for the elite package for 68 people on a Sunday in March, not counting photographer, dance floor and all personal items we brought. We rented a 12 x 15 dance floor from Quantam rentals for $725. It ended up being just a bit too small for 68 people and if I had it to do over we would go with a 15 x 15 which would have fit with plenty of room to still have tables on both sides. Overall I would recommend Jefferson Street Mansion. It’s a beautiful venue!

There is no denying that that the house and grounds are delightful and a perfect backdrop for an event or wedding. My issue was not with the facility itself but more with the staff who worked the wedding that I attended. Shockingly they were rude, unmotivated and surly. Someone needs to train them on the concept of hospitality and the supremacy of the guest experience. Unfortunately, these priorities were lacking at the event that I attended. The uniformed security officer managing the never-ending line at the bar reminded me of Seinfeld's Soup Nazi and when they refused the father of the groom a drink early in the proceedings because the 'bar was closed' it seemed like misguided protocol over common sense when addressing the person writing the check. Time for a refresh folks... remember that you are in the HOSPITALITY BUSINESS.

Photographed a wedding here, the mansion itself is so beautifully decorated and has good lighting in most of the house. Ceremony was outdoors with reception tented in the back. Highly recommend to come check this place out if you love that historic feel.
