Classy!!! Great venue to host 50 people for an Anniversary Party. They also had a larger room, but…read morethe smaller room fit 50 people perfectly (no dance floor in small room). There was another party going on in the big room, but it didn't interfere with us at all. Plenty of parking in the large parking lot. The bar is lovely (but I will add: there were poor reviews for the house white wine and the Bloody Mary). That is literally the only negative. Food was excellent. Everything else went smoothly. Many people commented how great of a party it was. Kudos to Michael, our event host, who was very attentive and professional. This Venue sent us a box of cookies in the mail as a thank you for booking with them. You don't see things like that anymore!! Highly recommend.

Primavera hits all three in every way and they go above and beyond with it. Michael and Edwin were both so lovely to work with, and everyone else that works there is so kind, attentive, and truly care about their guest's experience. Anyone that has ever been here knows the food is next to none -- every single thing they make is high end restaurant quality and that's not easy to do in a venue. The venue itself is so pretty, Venetian style and recently updated. The landscaping outside is immaculately kept. They really know what hospitality is here and they treat you like family, this venue is a gem.

We had so many compliments about the food especially the penne vodka, salmon, eggplant and potatoes. They even packed a few trays for us to take leftovers home. A handful of reviews said they clean up before your time is up and it's like they're kicking you out but we had no trouble while we were cleaning up until 4pm (event ended at 3). The only issue that came up is we had guests fill out advice cards and staff had thrown them out. My bridesmaids rushed to take a few pictures of the advice cards that were left so I could read them

I've been using/re-using the same bag now for months to hold my recycling before taking it out to the huge curbside container. This works perfectly for me so I can sort and store as I go and it looks so much better than a plain old black bag or cardboard box sitting next to the kitchen trash can. I can see so many uses for these bags as well. I think they would be great for birthday parties and baby showers or really any other time a trash bag is needed and you want a more eye pleasing experience. As an extra bonus the bags are super thick and sturdy. It just occurred to me that these would also be nice if you have a salon or spa type business as well. We all have trash but with Sassy Sacks it can be a little prettier :)

Beautiful Venue, Disappointing Experience While the James…read moreWard Mansion is undeniably a unique and beautiful venue, our overall experience was unfortunately disappointing. Leading up to our wedding, the owners were uncooperative and made the planning process more stressful than it needed to be. Since the venue claims that my concerns are unfounded and an anomaly of their 5-star reviews, here are the specific examples of our less-than-favorable experience: The week before our wedding, during our pre-event walkthrough, we discovered that the owners had made several cosmetic changes to the venue that were not communicated to us in advance. While we were notified of larger renovation changes, some major cosmetic changes were neglected--such as white-washing the exposed brick in the atrium area. This change, while likely done to expand the appeal of the venue, should have been communicated to a bride ahead of time and not discovered a week before the wedding. This lack of transparency was unsettling and frustrating. Adding to this frustration, the day before our wedding, the venue allowed us an hour to set up our chuppa for the ceremony. While my husband and his brothers were there, the owners stood with their arms crossed, watching them put together the chuppa, claiming my husband was damaging the floor (which was not true), asking for ID and proof of insurance, and generally exhibiting intimidating tactics. This added unnecessary tension during an already stressful time. The owners admittedly thought my husband was a vendor, but this does NOT justify nor dismiss their behavior and attempts to intimidate him. This behavior was unprofessional and left a negative impression on us and our families. During setup on the day of our wedding, our florist was placing flowers on the fountain in the atrium. My planner was called by the venue's coordinator and questioned about the flowers. However, at our pre-event walkthrough the week before, the venue had a representative present who knew that we planned to have flowers on the fountain and never mentioned that it wasn't a possibility. Lastly, the morning of the wedding, I paid extra to arrive early to use the bridal suite to get ready. The owners reside in the building next door and there is a hidden door between the two buildings. This access point leads to a catwalk directly outside the bridal suite. As we arrived and were getting ready with hair, makeup, and dressing, the owner came from his next-door residence right onto that catwalk outside the bridal suite. The owners were well aware that we rented the space that morning and should not have accessed the venue while my bridal party and I were in the bridal suite. After how they treated my husband the day before, it is easy to interpret this surprise visit as more intimidation by the owners. Most disappointing was the venue's response after the wedding. I asked my planner to arrange a time for me to directly discuss some of these issues. My planner was told that they refuse to address my concerns and feedback, claiming instead that my issues lie at the feet of her, my planner, and our caterer, and that their plethora of 5-star reviews speak for themselves. I, too, reached out directly to discuss these issues with the venue's coordinator and was met with the same resistance; my text message was ignored. This unprofessionalism and disregard for our concerns were extremely disappointing and added to our overall negative experience. Here is my response to their claims: My specific concerns are with the management of the venue and their treatment of us and our vendors. No venue should rest on their laurels of 5-star reviews and ignore a less-than-favorable experience by a customer.
