Semple Mansion

I would never have had my wedding anywhere else. My guests had so much fun and it was so unique. Katherine knows how to get things organize and help you create a flawless...

The venue was beautiful, especially for my winter wedding. They did a great job of accomodating my expansive guest list and paid very close attention to details. My guests agreed that it was the best wedding they've been to.

We absolutely loved the look and feel of the Semple Mansion, and it was perfect for our wedding. It's small enough to feel like a more intimate space, which was great, but was perfect for our mid-sized wedding. The interior of the mansion is beautiful and unique, and I loved that we were the only group in the mansion the night of our wedding. A few minor complaints-a few charges came up at the last minute-for example, the week of our wedding, the Semple coordinator mentioned that we would either have to tip the bartenders a pre-set amount (on top of the per-person liquor fees and bartender fees we were already paying) or the bartenders would leave a tip jar out for our guests. We felt this was excessive given the fees we were already paying for the bartenders and liquor. We also were a little disappointed that when the coordinator we had originally been working with left, the one who came to take her place never introduced herself to anyone. We had a couple questions and didn't know who to ask or who worked for the Mansion that was still at our event. Otherwise, we were really impressed and thought Katherine, the coordinator we worked with, was easygoing, very nice, and a delight to...

Semple was amazing! Katherine and Sophia were always willing to help and were lovely to work with. We got many compliments on the space during and after the wedding. It is on the pricey end for venues, but it was well worth the money. You definitely get what you pay for.

We loved the Semple Mansion! We had our wedding in late October and everything was beautiful and perfect. The day was flawless on the part of the Semple staff, we didn't even realize all the effort that I'm sure was put in. Everything flowed very well and the staff was fantastic. From organizing all our guest from the ceremony to the social hour to the dinner, everything went very well. The Semple Mansion does offer a "wedding coordinator" who was also very helpful in answering questions in the planning process and it was also priceless to have them there on the wedding day. The coordinators knew all the details and were able to make the day flow effortlessly (on our part). I marked a few points off for responsiveness just because some of the emails slipped through the cracks, but overall, the service was still very good. As long as you allowed a couple of business days for them to get back to you, things were just fine. Certain times we received immediate responses too, which was very helpful in last minute questions. This was on the more expensive side of our budget, but we feel like it was definitely worth the money. The guests LOVED the venue and we didn't have to put in any thought in keeping the wedding flowing as planned.

Katherine and her staff were simply wonderful to work with. My mom and I would pop in on multiple occasions to see if certain small details we wanted would "work" with the venue. Even if we dropped in unannounced, Katherine was there with a smile and willing to show us the ballroom another time! We heard nothing but wonderful feedback from our family and friends. Everyone said it was a wonderful wedding and a beautiful venue. We were married in October and I LOVED how the grand foyer and ballroom looked for our reception. It was sunset as our guests arrived and the mansion had such a warm and welcoming feel to it. If I had to use one word to describe my wedding, it would be: perfect. And it is all thanks to Katherine and the beautiful Semple Mansion.

The mansion is expensive but worth it!

I loved the venue, it was beautiful and everything went very smooth the day of. I cannot say the same for the week before. We had many issues with our bar service. The city came in a changed which vendor they had to use which I totally understand. The part I don't understand is the fact that we could not get ahold of them to figure things out. We ended up getting helped by the bar vendor who also had trouble getting ahold of them. It all worked our well, it was just annoying the week before.

Phenomenal venue, Katherine is absolutely amazing to work with!! Highly recommend considering Semple Mansion as our day was PERFECT and our guests loved the beautiful, intimate atmosphere. Free parking is a plus considering it's location. The bridal suite was exactly what we needed for getting ready. The ballroom is one of a kind...stunning decor/chandeliers, great built in seating along the perimeter so guests are not limited to their tables, good acoustics for our DJ and slideshow. Could not be happier with our venue choice!

Words cannot express the flawlessness of this venue!!!! Everything everyone says about this place is true -- it is really THAT wonderful! The mansion is worth every penny as it truly provided a venue for both our ceremony & reception that was full of class. And the glory of the mansion is that it is already so beautiful that it is a turnkey operation --it really doesn't need any further decoration, which saves LOTS of money and effort -- and gives more time to add the personal touches that really matter :) Katherine & Sophia are absolute JOYS to work with -- they know their stuff and will customize the flow of the space to accommodate your vision. We had 185 attendees, and I was somewhat concerned about space, but it turned out to be a non-issue -- & what's more, many of our guests complimented us on the "intimacy" of our venue! It was perfect. It became a joke throughout the evening on how many times we said, "perfect." HIGHEST recommendation for the Semple Mansion!!!!

Our wedding at the Semple Mansion was wonderful! Sophia was really great to work with the day of the wedding and made sure everything we needed was taken care of. I highly recommend the Semple Mansion and would suggest requesting Sophia to work with!

We were working in a budget for our wedding and The Semple Mansion met all of our expectations AND was a great value. I would recommend the venue and their staff to anyone!!!

Everything was great about the Mansion- including the staff, especially Katherine. The only two things I could critique was that the curtains to the bridal boutique were not closed on the wedding and this really bugged me as the bride. I'm sure the guests did not notice, and that was not the fault of the mansion! Also, it was really hot but that will happen when there are 210 + people in a place. It was a beautiful wedding, a beautiful space, and the staff was so so helpful. I fully recommend it.

Our family had a wonderful experience @ the Semple Mansion. The staff was incredible with hospitality. They were very kind, attentive, congenial, professional, and worked very hard to fulfill your wishes. Kathryn and Sophia worked as a team and represented each other with dignity and grace. The entire day from morning til midnight was magical. We loved the mansion and its beauty and splendor. The bridal suite was especially enchanting and sweet for the bridal party to prepare for the ceremony. The guests were completely inspired by the immediate beauty of the venue. We also loved the ease of the reception being in the ballroom. It too was magnificent, gorgeous, and lovely! We have absolutely no regrets to share about the Semple Mansion. Truly divine!

Absolutely Phenomenal Venue! Everyone kept saying how beautiful the Mansion was...it was the perfect reception venue. Katherine was also great to work with. The only down side was that the dance floor was hot but then again when you have over a 100 people dancing and having a blast it was only to be expected! We would recommend The Semple Mansion to everyone!!! If we had ten thumbs we would put them all up!!!

I can't say enough great things about the Semple. The venue is so incredibly gorgeous and has a perfect space for every part of the wedding. The ladies loved getting ready in the bridal suite and the groomsmen in the billiards room. Guests really enjoyed the convenience of having the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in one venue. The transition from ceremony to cocktail hour in the foyer/wine vault to dinner upstairs in the ballroom is seamless. The staff at the Semple is phenomenal. I had about 800 questions leading up to the wedding and both Katherine and Sophia were incredibly prompt in getting back to me. There are so many details to keep track of and plan so their quick responses were so helpful. They are total pros in every way! One perk of using the Semple is getting to bring in your own alcohol. All we had to worry about was delivery of the beer and wine and the Semple bar staff took over from there. We had an absolutely beautiful and memorable wedding day and would highly recommend the Semple mansion!

The Semple Mansion was an absolutely amazing venue. The only problem was that we had to set up the majority of our decoration and all of the little things did end up taking a lot of time the day of the wedding. In retrospect, I wish we could have had the rehearsal the night prior to free up time for set-up day-of. The only reason we did not was the additional cost, I wish that had been included as it was a very expensive venue!!!

Katherine was wonderful. She is very good at her job and you can tell she enjoys it. She was very helpful and just knowing that she had everything taken care of helped me relax and enjoy every moment of my wedding day. She made our wedding perfect. Semple Mansion is really the most perfect place to get married and have your reception.

Our wedding was perfect. I realize this is the response people are looking for, but honestly things could not have been better. My wife Sarah and I are still beaming and we were married a week ago. Katherine at Semple Mansion was amazing to work with. She was always available, attentive to our needs, and a fun person to work with. She made things seem easy. All of the vendors involved worked harmoniously and things went off without a hitch. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

The Semple Mansion is such a beautiful space, and so dynamic. We held both our ceremony and reception there and were thrilled with the outcome of the entire day. We opted not to hold our ceremony on the foyer level as is generally done, but used the ballroom instead. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect space for our ceremony--the ballroom is gorgeous and was large enough to hold our 200+ guests, but still felt quite intimate. Katherine (and our caterer--3 Sons) took our desire to use the ballroom for the ceremony in stride, and were able to flip the room from ceremony to dinner during our cocktail hour! We held our cocktail hour on the foyer level and in the wine cellar--our guests loved the opportunity to explore the space. Katherine is great to work with! Every vendor we worked with said the same when they learned which venue we had selected. She and her assistant Sophia are very fun and refreshingly energetic, but also know how to efficiently and effectively execute an event. They were integral in the success of our wedding. They know their venue, and how to best use it. They also quickly and gracefully solved any problems that arose. Given the opportunity to do it all over again, we would select the Semple Mansion (and Katherine and Sophia) again, without a doubt!
