“A very special venue with a unique history. It was the perfect background for my client's wedding. The team was wonderful and made the day even better!”

“My wife and I got married at the Semple Mansion in November of 2024, and we could have asked for a better venue. It was the best day. The space is beautiful. Our guest enjoyed exploring all of the floors of the venue, and the staff is gracious and accommodating. Kristi and Katherine went above and beyond to cover all of our needs from the moment we visited the venue all the way through our wedding day. We cannot recommend this venue enough.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding day than Semple Mansion. From the moment we stepped into this beautiful, historic space, we knew it was the place we’d be saying "I do." The venue is absolutely stunning—an elegant blend of classic charm and modern amenities, with gorgeous architecture, beautiful natural light, and an intimate yet grand atmosphere that made our wedding feel both special and personal.
Working with Katherine, the venue director, was an absolute dream. Katherine is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and truly passionate about making each event unique and memorable. From our first meeting to the big day, she was there every step of the way, offering guidance and support. Her calm demeanor and thoughtful approach made the planning process so much easier and helped us feel completely at ease, knowing everything was in good hands.
Semple Mansion is an extraordinary place, and Katherine is the perfect person to bring your wedding vision to life. We would highly recommend both to anyone looking for a truly exceptional venue and a smooth, stress-free planning experience.”

“The perfect venue. We had our wedding here in late August and we could not have been happier with our choice. Katherine was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive whenever we had questions throughout the planning process. We knew we were in good hands from the moment we toured the space. With access to the venue at 9:00 am the day of, there was more than enough time to get everything ready. The chairs and tables were set for us ahead of time, too, which was so helpful. We loved being able to hand pick what the bartenders served at our bar, and all of the flexibility with the other vendors we chose to bring in. Above all, the venue is stunning. We are so grateful to have the photos and memories made in this gorgeous, historical, unique space. Thank you to the Semple Mansion for being so wonderful - we would recommend this venue a hundred times over!!”
