  • The Wilbur Mansion is the PERFECT venue

    I married my husband, Brandon, in late October this past year and we celebrated our Reception at the Wilbur Mansion with Rebecca Ciraco and Christy Jackson as our two right-hand people. Rebecca, our main contact at the Wilbur Mansion, was incredibly kind, patient, and fun to collaborate with. From the moment we met to sign the contract to the final menu selections weeks before the big day, Brandon and I loved working alongside her. Christy managed our event: she handled our signature drink, the linen colors, the layout, and any other little details at the venue. On the wedding day, Christy was the most consistent part of our reception. She made sure we were in the right places at the right times, she bustled my dress with safety pins (when we couldn’t find the little loops and buttons), she took care of talking to our DJ and communicating with staff for us, and she even made sure there was a plate of hors d’oeuvres at our sweetheart table so that we could eat after our photography session! She checked in on us throughout the event and she made the whole evening a BREEZE. Brandon and I are so incredibly thankful for Rebecca and Christy’s attention and help through our planning process and the event itself-- we truly felt so taken care of and carefree. The Wilbur Mansion is a STUNNING venue, but what truly makes it special is its team. Additionally, the Wilbur has so many beautiful places for photo ops, an excellent staff, and the food was OUTRAGEOUSLY DELICIOUS. Guests came up to me complimenting the hors d'oeuvres and meals all night at the Reception. Even now, months later, I still have friends recounting our wedding day and how wonderful the food was! Not only that, but hosting an event at the Wilbur Mansion was also a fair price. I can confidently recommend the Wilbur Mansion to anyone looking for an elegant backdrop for their event!

  • The most magical place to get married!

    The Wilbur Mansion was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! On the day of, their attention to detail and execution was stunning - the space is modern, timeless and spotlessly clean! We got married in October and truly enjoyed the indoor and outdoor space! Their large patio with glass doors created the perfect cocktail area and it flowed perfectly onto their immaculately landscaped lawn including a fire pit, which our guests loved chatting around! They went above and beyond to help us with custom menus and provided invaluable guidance on all fronts, ensuring our special day ran seamlessly. We cannot recommend The Wilbur Mansion highly enough to any couple looking for a truly exceptional wedding experience.
