Timmy and family were super nice. Left us to put the venue together and run it however we wanted. It was right next to a train track and just our luck, a train passed through as we were right in the middle of the ceremony. The establishment was phenomenal. Absolutely gorgeous house with lots of room for the ladies and men to get everything done. All in all we had a fantastic time and would recommend this venue to anyone seeking a place to get married.
What a beautiful and intimate venue! It had plenty of space and plenty of time. Not to mention how nice the family was to work with. It couldn’t have been better.
Great stay, rooms clean and beds were awesome.
My niece had her wedding at the Hilliard mansion and it was beautiful all the staff was nice and helpful
Absolutely love "The Hilliard Mansion" ! Great Management, and Wedding/Event Venue! I've had the pleasure of filming a few Weddings here, and they always turn out gorgeous!
Venue was nice but train can be distracting. Layout in the dining/indoor event area was a little weird but overall we had a great time
Beautiful spot for a wedding or a large party. Beautiful for pictures and room for the kids to run.
Good venue with lots of outdoor space and a separate building for indoor events. Would have liked to have seen more designated parking. It rained earlier in the day and the walkway from the backdoor to the building adjacent to the Hillard Mansion was still wet and made for a precarious crossing for guests. I would recommend a covered walkway and some type of antiskid tape or paint treatment to prevent guests from future slips and falls. The mansion was mainly for rooms for changing, restrooms, and a lovely backdrop for photo ops. The "annex" to The Mansion was large enough dining tables, buffet tables, DJ booth, and dance floor while remaining quaint and intimate.
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW- My husband & I booked The Mansion shortly after visiting it for the first time. The owner, Timmy, was very inviting and explained all of the amenities the venue has to offer for our special day. We fell in love with its historic appeal and outdoor landscape. We also liked that we could choose all of our own vendors. They seemed very laid back and let us visit a couple times before the wedding date with our event coordinator with no issues. Everything leading up to the wedding day was smooth, even the wedding day itself. Even though it rained, it was still a pretty indoor wedding. HOWEVER, when you book your wedding date, you pay a $500.00 refundable deposit that should be issued back to you 3 weeks after your wedding if there were no damages. Ours was NOT given back. In fact, we didn’t even receive a letter explaining to us why. About a month and a half after our wedding date, I began leaving voicemails explaining the situation and requested a call back. This lasted over the course of 2 weeks. I even sent an email. No response. A week after those attempts, I received an email for the owner’s daughter. She apologized that we never received our check and she would make sure it got in the mail right away. My husband and I waited a week, still nothing. I called and reached the owner, Timmy. After he answered, I began explaining the situation. He wouldn’t let me continue, as he began yelling at me, saying “You left the venue completed trashed! The whole outdoor property had trach strung everywhere & INDOOR furniture was left outside!” I attempted to explain that he must have me confused with someone else, as we didn’t have our wedding outside due to the rain/ storms. He still proceeded to yell so I requested that he send pictures to me proving that I “trashed” his venue. He complied, and sent 3 pictures. The first picture was of a TRASH CAN in the kitchen that still had trash IN IT. The last 2 pictures were of the front porch. The rocking chairs were moved from one side of the porch to the other. (The rocking chairs were originally on the front porch, but they were moved to a different spot on the front porch.) THAT IS ALL! They kept $500.00 for one trash can that was missed during clean up and rocking chairs that were moved. Again, I attempted to call and email The Mansion after receiving the pictures explaining that there is no way they can keep $500.00 just for that. There were no damages! My coordinator had to plead with them for over 2 months just to get $300.00. We are STILL out $200.00. Needless to say, they are money hungry, and if I could go back I WOULD NOT BOOK MY WEDDING THERE!!!!!
