Don’t over look this venue

Amazing ! After our original place was put on COVID restrictions we had about 6 weeks to plan a new venue and Marty at Ellis house was a fabulous help . The vendors all were so helpful and it turned out great . None knew that we threw this beautiful wedding day together in 6 weeks . We were able to use the house for the bridal party to get ready and the whole venue to decorate as we wanted and have the food we wanted . You feel like you are in your own little town and it’s just your wedding ! I give this 5 stars and would totally recommend Ellis house

This is a gorgeous venue that's allows for a very personal feel. Tina the woman that runs the ellis house is so sweet and walked us through everything. She introduced us to some vendors that we ended up using for the wedding. She was so helpful and very straightforward. No hoops and jumps to go through here. I loved the whole experience from beginning to end, so happy we found this beautiful venue.

I had my ceremony and reception at Ellis House. Sure it's more work because you have to hire all your vendors seperately and coordinate, but it was WORTH it for the beautiful and unique wedding setting. I cannot say enough kind words about Tina and the staff at Ellis, but you know that they truly care and want you day to be perfect. Our wedding was perfect. Guests were coming up to me throughout the wedding telling me how beautiful the setting was and are still talking about it. The grounds are gorgeous. This venue is for a bride on a budget that wants a completely unique and personalized experience, and doesn't mind doing a little work beforehand with a few friends and family. You won't regret choosing this venue.
