Our daughter and son-in-law chose The Christy House for their wedding with nearly 250 guests, and we couldn't have been happier with the venue and the service we received! Our host...ess, the owner of the home, was very accommodating, and was always there to lend a hand with whatever we needed. I think she was a mind reader, honestly! She also helped immensely with keeping things neat and tidy during our event, and even helped me with cleaning dishes and packing up. I would never have expected her to do that, but what a gift it was to this tired mom! The house is beautiful, and provided a lovely backdrop inside for pictures on the beautiful staircase and other areas of the home. The bridesmaids all stayed comfortably in the house the night before the wedding, and had a truly special time. After the event, many of the wedding party spent the night, which was another plus.
There was plenty of room in the kitchen and butler's pantry for me to set up a bridal breakfast and luncheon, and several nice dining areas. The bridesmaids took over the upstairs for dressing, hair and makeup, and they had everything they needed there. The groomsmen enjoyed their own comfy space in the basement where they could relax and get dressed, complete with couches, television, and a pool table.
The grounds are lovely, and look out over a nature preserve. The wedding was outdoors, so this made a lovely setting. We had a large tent set up in the front of the house, and the caterers and florists were able to use the garage for working and storage, which was handy. I also used the garage for storage, so there was quite a bit of space there.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience at The Christy House, and I highly recommend it as a wedding venue!
