There is a reason that The Finch House is one of our preferred venues and why we have a specially discounted package for couples planning events there. Sure, the venue is beautiful, the food is always amazing (and of course the load-in is much easier than some). But the main reason every one of our staff loves performing there is their people. Andrew and his folks not only go above and beyond to make sure that every detail of the event lives up to and exceeds the couple's expectations, but also helps to create a real team atmosphere with the other vendors involved so that no one loses sight of the true objective: To give each couple an experience they can remember and treasure for a lifetime.

I held my son and his now wife’s reception here in Sept 2024. You will not find a better person to work with than Sandra. She has the best idea’s and will help make your event special and perfect. The Bonaparte castle is a must see to appreciate its beauty. Her way of putting ideas together with your own brings her event space to life. Not only are the renovating a castle but they have a great outdoor space including a fire pit. There is a small tavern that can be used for that very purpose. I am holding my own wedding and reception here next Oct and couldn’t be more excited to work with her again. Please enjoy my photos.
