Parkside Mansion was the perfect venue to host our wedding! Maggie, who handles the coordination of…read moreevents, was an amazing partner. She made the process very easy and was extremely helpful, even consulting on how much liquor to order through the venue. They have a very flexible return policy where we were able to get money back on unopened alcohol; we also found the pricing to be fair. The wedding itself is beautiful and intimate, exactly what we wanted for our big day. They were also very accommodating to ensure the venue was arranged how we wanted for the wedding day. We would highly recommend utilizing the Parkside Mansion for both weddings and general events.

Aphrodite Kitchens was an incredible partner in planning the menu/food experience for our wedding…read more I call it an "experience" because from the very beginning Stephanie made the process totally customized to me and my bride every step of the way. Before ever sharing a sample menu she chatted on the phone with me for about 45 minutes asking me questions to get to know me, my bride, our life together, and of course all of our different food loves. She had already explored my wedding pinterest boards, as well, and proposed a menu that fit our style and taste to perfection (and our budget!!). The food was incredible and even better because it wasn't everything you always see at a wedding, it was perfectly us and she created the menu to work well within our very tight budget. She was very flexible every step of the way and always answered/found solutions for any and every questions I came up with. She truly helped us create the entire food and drink experience for the wedding and it was a delicious and beautiful meal. The bartenders and wait staff she hired were spectacular, we felt like we were getting treated like royalty as did each of our guests. We would HIGHLY recommend using Aphrodite Kitchens for your wedding if you are looking for a truly unique and customized menu that will fit your budget, no matter what it is.

Overall our wedding was a day we will cherish forever! There are definitely a couple of things that…read morewould have made it a lot better though. To start off we had no air conditioning in the bridal suite. We had two small fans that did nothing but push around the hot air. My mother over heated right before my wedding time and it was awful. One AC unit was downstairs and one in the groom suite. People (including John) assured me that things would be cool and that was not what happened at all. Also no A/C was moved to the basement after being used in the groom suite and after we requested it to be moved. It was blazing hot in the basement and we ended the dance early due to people getting overheated. Second Sylvia, who was supposed to do the elevators and anything else we needed, did not reply promptly to our requests and made it seem like we were an inconvenience to help us. We had to go find her more than once and we had to search for her. We had several people leave before our first dance in the basement because they didn't want to wait on the elevator and hold up the wedding. It was very very disappointing to myself and my husband. It was his aunt and uncle and others who left because his uncle had a stroke and can no longer walk. It took us over ten minutes to find Sylvia. My brother and stepdad had to clear an entrance for the elevator to be used. I would have loved to actually meet my organizer Katie face to face but instead she sent a lady named Aspen in her place (Aspen was wonderful but didn't know anything of what Katie and I had already discussed). I didn't let any of that ruin our night. It is a beautiful venue but definitely some things need to be improved. Catering was wonderful!

Beautiful grounds and venue. Unique and has tons of potential. It really is a great venue for a…read morewedding or party.... However, Rita, the event manager, is an insufferable petty tyrant. While caution may be indicated during a unique period in our society, Hurricane Rita represents the worst kind of creature this pandemic has produced. This venue should be avoided until she finds another job. It's one thing to ask that guests wear masks, it's another thing to attempt to require the attendants AND officiant to wear masks during the ceremony. Spacing? Sure....not allowing the attendants to walk side-by-side but they can stand next to each other? Huh? Attached is an honest to God seating arrangement. Who is at that single table? The officiant....and father of the groom! No matter, he can come sit with us! Not allowed suggests Hurricane Rita! She threatened to stop the party, to which I laughed. Her next move? She yelled at and pointed her finger at the server, Sandy, who moved the place setting from the single table to our table. Dancing? Sure, but only at your table with other people at your table. And you can't leave your table for anything. This petty rule can't possibly extended to the father/daughter dance? It sure does! What option do you have? They can dance outside....but no one can view the dance. Hurricane Rita and her overlords are the worst type of person. They are given a modicum of power and use it to make up rules that no rational person would come up with or attempt to enforce. Sic semper tyrannis. Hurricane Rita and the rest.

We had a truly inspiring wedding where people came up to us for weeks afterward to tell us how…read morespecial our event was. Our guests felt included, loved and grateful to be part of a gathering that was so focused on coming together to celebrate our union in a unique and special way. Lindsey from Collective/by Sachs really helped us design and execute on our intentional vision. Without her, we would have been too focused on and stressed about the small details and logistics to be able to show up so grounded and joyful on our wedding weekend the way we did. Lindsey was lovely to work with. She always showed up so calm and happy throughout the process, even when I was stressed, which made me feel so much better. She is a true professional and really understands what matters for an event such as this, helping you focus on the things that will give you and your guests everlasting memories. I highly recommend!

In planning our wedding, one of the first things we decided that we had to have was a great day-of…read morecoordinator who could handle things behind the scenes and give us the space to be in the moment and enjoy our wedding. From the moment she responded to our initial outreach to the day of our wedding, Lindsey was a thoughtful, kind, and happy person to be around and work with. We received a lot of emails from vendors with ten or more exclamation points in their congratulations to us, which always felt fake and over-the-top to us. Lindsey never felt like anything but a genuinely amazing person who we liked talking to and working with. When we spoke to Lindsey, we immediately clicked with her and loved her thoughtful questions and approach, and it was an incredibly tough decision to ultimately hire someone else who had 10+ more years of experience as a wedding planner, because we thought that decade of experience would give us the peace of mind we needed, especially as we were planning the wedding from out of state.We were wrong. We ended up letting our other coordinator go 2 1/2 weeks before our wedding, as that individual came to meetings wildly unprepared and was just generally unprofessional. Thankfully, Lindsey was available and willing to step in at the last minute and be our day-of coordinator. She stepped in without any hesitancy, and working with her was immediately night and day to what we had previously experienced with the other coordinator. Before our first call, Lindsey had gone through all of our contracts and knew all of our vendors, our proposed timeline, and had pertinent and timely questions. She asked us about everything from the number of wine glasses to ways of rethinking our timeline to give us more time with our guests, and just generally made sure we had thought of every last detail ahead of the wedding. I cannot quite express the weight that lifted from my shoulders knowing that Lindsey was on top of things. She is a joy to be around in a genuine way and made the short time before our wedding stress-free and allowed us to just be excited for the wedding! Lindsey came and picked up boxes and boxes of decor from my home a few days before the wedding, because it was the only time that worked for me to give it to her, even though I know it was not her preferred time. Everything she did for us was just above and beyond. The day of was a dream, despite some hiccups, and that is all because Lindsey was working in the background to make sure we weren't stressed out about anything. By way of just one example of how she juggled things and stayed amazing, Lindsey talked to our ring bearer and kept him engaged so that he wouldn't miss his mom and would stay quiet and calm as we waited to walk down the aisle, while also making sure everyone else walked at the right times. Things that went wrong that we didn't have to deal with/that Lindsey made right: Despite all of our detailed planning, my father in law forgot to pick up the bouquets from the venue for our first look photos. The arbor didn't have any greenery on it and had these goofy little pinwheels on it that looked terrible. The pies (from a vendor I found) that we had so meticulously tasted and agonized over the flavors of showed up so undercooked that our caterer didn't feel comfortable serving them. It rained in the middle of our ceremony. Lindsey made sure we had flowers ready the moment we arrived at the venue, had the florist switch out the arbor decorations so that they looked elegant and beautiful before guests even arrived, someone from the catering staff drove to a grocery store to get ice cream so that we would have dessert, and our cocktail hour was moved inside and the appetizers went from a table to passed appetizers, while half of our dinner tables were moved around so that guests weren't blown or washed away by the wind and rain, and it was all done without their knowing the cocktail hour wasn't always planned for inside. If you're looking for someone who will help you to make your wedding your own, and allow you to just be in the moment and enjoy your day, I cannot recommend Lindsey highly enough. She stepped in when she didn't have to, and stepped up in every way imaginable. She's amazing!

The prices were affordable, but the quality was priceless. We have gotten so many compliments from friends and family that this was the best wedding they've ever attended. Thank you for an incredible day! We couldn't be more pleased with our experience. I am so glad I chose Morningside Manor as the place for my wedding and reception. It was PERFECT!! Thank You to Hillary and your Das Meyer family!!!

I was in a wedding here last weekend, and it's a pretty cute little place. The gardens around it…read moreare perfect for wedding ceremonies, and there are 3 or 4 gazebos to choose from. The inside is definitely very victorian, and though it's not quite my style, it's pretty and nice. There are two rooms upstairs for the bride and groom to get ready in, downstairs has a kitchen for caterers, a buffet hall area, several sitting areas, and a large room for dancing and setting up tables in. There's also a small deck off of the large room where several more tables can be set up. It made a great spot for the wedding, and I think it would be good for any smaller sized gathering (I wouldn't put more than 100 people in it probably). It's located right next to Das Meyer Bakery as well (same owners I think).

Everything from the pre-planning (many emails back and forth from CA) to the clean-up went without a hitch. The venue provided everything including a stage with speakers and microphone, upgraded full bar and awesome bartender, tables and chairs with linen, a delicious taco bar with the chef interacting with our guests for the first 2 hours, staff that worked behind the scenes and kept everything clean, tidy and running smoothly. When I asked about a cake Chef John said he could do that as well. We're still talking about the strawberries and cream cake he made which included Neufchâtel cheese in the frosting. The venue has beautiful hardwood floors, large windows, and a door to the outside patio, right on the river. We were able to hang decorations and we're asked often if we needed anything, any help. Leanne Jewell is the event manager and she took great care of us. When we originally booked the venue the plan was to have it mostly outside with 30 people. Just days before it became apparent we would possibly have snow or rain and 50 people. Leanne reassured me not to worry, they would move the party indoors if needed. Planning everything from another state had me a bit frazzled but I can assure you they know what they are doing. I was so impressed. Thank you Riverside Events, we had a fantastic time.
