On September 26th 2026 we attended a wedding reception here at the Haley Mansion. From the moment we walked in to the very end of the spectacular evening we were treated like Royalty! The ambience was truly amazing. The unique appetizers, drinks, and main course were scrumptious! The entire staff was very attentive, kind, and respectful. We are still in AWW having participated in this Dream Wedding. The Haley Mansion supersedes any venue for a special event! Beyond 5 stars I give it a 10 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ With Much Gratitude, Auntie Gi

WOW! This is a special shoutout to the staff & all servers. We were at a wedding last night that was spectacular. The venue is obviously unique & lovely, the food was superb, but the workers!! We were all astounded they had such an impressive crew of servers! Since Covid, we sadly haven’t seen this level of hard work & dedication in the hospitality arena. Everyone was professional, kind and beyond helpful! They set the bar HIGH in their quality of hiring & training! We loved the experience & Highly recommended this venue! Thank you for a memorable wedding reception!!
Response from the ownerThank you so much for the wonderful review! It’s always so rewarding when our guests recognize our amazing staff and the outstanding service they provide. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the entire team! We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another event in the future!
We had our wedding there and it was amazing! The day of our wedding, a storm hit and the power was out. Even though the power was out, the staff did everything in their power to make our day special. They upgraded our bar package without being asked, and extended our wedding by 30 minutes as well. The staff was so amazing. As the bride and groom, every time our hands were empty, a staff member would stop and ask if we wanted a drink. The food was amazing. Eloy who was our day of coordinator who was always visible and able to answer questions. Leading up to the wedding, I sent all of my vendors my wedding binder. When I showed up to drop off our decor the day before the staff had my decor checklist printed and was well aware of how I wanted things to go. I cannot say enough positive things, it was absolutely AMAZING! All of our guests loved the horderves and everyone left saying it felt like a high end classy wedding. Absolutely WONDERFUL!
Eloy was outstanding! He was so attentive, professional, and kind, and when it was time for the food to come out, he was like a conductor directing every server to be precise and on time. The whole evening was an absolute dream and truly the best night of our life’s! Can not recommend the mansion enough!!

Alex and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose The Haley Mansion. From start to finish they were extremely easy to work with and communicative. We received so many compliments from guests on the service, hospitality, and food. My questions were always answered in a timely manner whether it was phone call, text, or email, there was always someone available. Presentation of desserts and food was fantastic. The bar service was exceptional and extremely attentive. We loved the Haley Mansion!
Response from the ownerThank you Karime it was our pleasure to host your event!
The Haley Mansion is truly the perfect place for a wedding. From the initial phone call to confirm our tour up until our actual wedding day, we felt absolutely taken care of. All of their fabulous coordinators Megan, Diana, Michelle, Danielle, and their event manager Eloy are truly the kindest individuals. Our guests are still raving about the beautiful venue, the best food, and the kindest staff. We truly adored our experience at the Haley Mansion and cannot recommend them higher! ❤️
