Wedding Testimonials

Jo-El and Dan

I wanted to let you know the weekend was a great success! All the guests had such a lovely time. The staff was wonderful and helped us do anything we asked. Thank you for helping me plan and for your guidance along the way. I truly appreciate it. Thank you for helping me have the wedding I always dreamed of growing up — at Allerton House. Take good care!

Nicole and Garrett

I wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for your amazing support this weekend. Garrett & I’s wedding went off without a hitch and it was perfect! We appreciated everything your staff did. They were efficient and helpful whenever we had a concern or question. From rehearsal on Friday to brunch on Sunday the weekend was everything we dreamed it to be and more. They truly worked to make our weekend the best it could be.

Kasey and Nikhil

I’m just writing to let you know what a great wedding weekend we had! The food was amazing! We got so many complements on the breakfasts as well as dinner! I also wanted to thank you all for how accommodating you were. We could not have done it without you. Everyone made us feel so at home and I was actually so sad to leave! We were so happy with everything that we plan on coming back for our anniversary! Thank you for continuing to make other wedding dreams come true!

Lauren and Luke

Luke and I wanted to convey our appreciation and gratitude for the entire staff for making our weekend so special. There truly wasn’t a single thing I could have asked more of or would have done differently. You guys went above and beyond and I can’t thank you enough for all of your support these last few weeks!

Jana and Bryan

We were impressed with the staff’s attention to every detail and every request that we made, and we appreciated all of their small touches that made our wedding weekend so special. We hosted our guests for the entire weekend on the property. It is not an exaggeration to say that every single one of our guests pulled us aside to comment on the staff’s professionalism, kindness, and helpfulness, and they all remarked on how well the Mansion and grounds were maintained. We love Allerton and knew it would be the most beautiful location for our wedding, but it was truly transformed for 48 hours thanks to the skill of your team. It was better than we could have imagined, and we credit the entire team’s hard work, excellent service, and thoughtful kindness to us and our guests.

Diana and JT

Every detail was handled beautifully, exceeding our expectations in every way. Thank you for making our celebration so smooth, special, and stress-free!
