Picked for the space, but recommend for the service!

We picked the Ivy House for its beauty, but would recommend it for their amazing service!

We couldn’t have asked for more easygoing staff and transparent process especially during such uncertain times. It’s hard planning a weddig and doing so in COVID times was definitely uncharted territory. However, Tyler and his staff were so responsive, helpful, flexible, and understanding as we figured it out together. I literally would laugh happy tears when I would get responses to my multiple questions with numbered responses. When I picked the Ivy house two years ago, I loved the courtyard but having it in COVID times was a lifesaver! I was a little skeptical about being outside in mid-October but with all the space heaters and pine-wood fire pits everyone stayed toasty and helped us keep our guests safe! So many of the other vendors we worked with remarked at how amazing their staff were key in making everything run smoothly! Would definitely recommend them to anyone

The absolute perfect place for our wedding!!

Having our wedding at Ivy House was an absolute dream!
From start to finish the Ivy House team made the wedding planning process as easy as possible and helped make it the perfect day.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and we had so many compliments from our friends and family about the space. We were fortunate enough with weather to have our ceremony outside on the patio and then dinner/dancing inside but their planning team gave us many options to personalize where we wanted various events throughout the day. There is beautiful ivy and greenery throughout the entire space so we really didn't need to add very much for wedding decor which helped significantly with cost savings.

There is a bridal suite at Ivy House with a separate entrance that is PERFECT for getting ready the morning of the wedding. There was so much space for hair, makeup, and it came with basically a full kitchen and a professional grade steamer that was amazing to have for the day. The space is so cute too and a great unique place for a lot of getting ready photos. Throughout the night we were able to access the suite as well which was also great.

Olivia was the event coordinator assigned to us and she was wonderful to work with, especially with how flexible she was with us not living in the same city as the venue. Specifically with meeting times and also drop off/pickup of our wedding decor for the day. She was very responsive whenever we had questions about the day, and she was very helpful in guiding us with various decisions we had to make. The day itself was seamless and my husband and I can't think of anything that we wish went differently!

Olivia, the bartenders, and all other Ivy House Staff were professional, kind, and all of our guests said how great of an experience they had. While the venue itself is a beautiful place to celebrate your marriage, the Ivy House team is really what made it the absolute best day for us.

Thank you again to Olivia and the Ivy House team, would recommend this venue for anyone looking for their wedding day!

A Fabulous Experience

We had our wedding at the Ivy House on Nov 19th, and it was incredible! I couldn't have asked for it to go better. Special shout-out to Matt, our day-of coordinator who made the process so easy. One of my favorite memories was gesturing wildly while talking to a table of my guests, when a glass of champagne appeared in my hand...thanks Matt ;) A special shout-out also to our DJ, Jack who did a fantastic job! Our dance floor was never empty. We had a handful of guests tell us it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended!
