“We can't recommend Semple Mansion enough! This gorgeous historic venue was the perfect place for our August wedding. The entire process from initial tour to follow-up after the wedding itself was easy and enjoyable. The staff is so helpful, available, and personable (Katherine is a rare gem!). We felt supported and celebrated every step of the way. It can be difficult to find a mansion venue that doesn't feel broken up into rooms that split up the guests, but Semple Mansion has the perfect layouts for both ceremony and reception needs. It's easy to spend the entire day there and not feel like you need a change of scene. Guest parking is no problem, the ballroom is stunning, and we also loved that we could utilize the grand piano for live music during our ceremony. We couldn't dream of a better wedding venue.”

“Semple Mansion has my wholehearted recommendation. I was married at Semple Mansion two weeks ago, and I couldn't imagine a more perfect wedding venue. If you are looking for a classy, elegant, stunning wedding venue in an ideal location in the city, look no further!

As soon as I stepped foot in the mansion, I felt my search was over. The main level has a perfect space for your ceremony, along with a bar and lounge area for cocktail hour. The basement has the super funky Wine Grotto, where you can have an additional bar! The groom and groomsmen also have ample space to get ready and hang out in the basement where there is a billiards table.

Upstairs, there is a stunning bridal suite, which was one of the main features I was looking for. It was so valuable to me as a bride to have that spacious, private area as I got ready with my girls. It's also the perfect place to disappear to for a few minutes when you need space on your wedding day.

Finally, the ballroom is a showstopper. The ballroom is the *perfect* setting for a formal dinner, and after dinner, you can either have your dance upstairs in the ballroom or back downstairs (we chose upstairs).

The layout of the mansion is simply perfect for a wedding. There are ample spaces for your guests to spread out throughout the day, from the Wine Grotto in the basement to the front porch outdoors to the spacious ballroom upstairs. I was having so much fun upstairs that I actually forgot to even visit the Wine Grotto!”

“I held my book launch party at the Semple Mansion and it was an absolute blast. Everyone had a great time, and the Semple people were so lovely to work with. And the mansion itself was stunning! It really set the ambience for the evening, and I felt transported back in time to when there were balls and women wore gowns and gloves. I’d rate this place ten stars if I could!!!”

“Oh my gosh, we could not have found a better place to host our wedding reception. Not only was The Semple beautiful, but Katherine was so incredible in making our day so smooth and worry free! I could not speak any higher about how well we were taken care of and how incredible our experience was! If you’re thinking about it, just do it, there’s nothing we would have changed!”
