"Best Wedding Ever" said our guests! Everyone we spoke to raved about the venue. The history, beauty and character of the building were the top 3 comments. We so agree! Sarah and Dane were fabulous to work with. From the planning meetings to final checkout, nothing was overlooked. Sarah is quick to respond and reassure her clients. We booked our wedding, which included 8 bedrooms for the weekend! Such a fun party atmosphere. Several friends are already talking about booking for private functions of their own. We can recommend them without hesitation! Loved every minute we were there! read more

Renwick Mansion - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

What a gem! This place is the coolest. My wife and I love going to the Renwick for stand up comedy on Sunday nights (Tomfoolery on Tremont). They bring in great touring comedians and use some local comics to warm the crowd. Renwick is a "Can't Miss". The owners Dane and Sarah are awesome. A date night out for my wife and I laughing our buns off and having a few brewskies for around $40 is bonkers. Do yourself a favor and go here! read more

I absolutely love the Renwick Mansion and their staff. The shows and events are run professionally, but it never lacks that personal touch. I've worked on event centers before and these folks are doing it right. read more

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding thrown here this past weekend and WOW not only is the venue/lodging absolutely gorgeous but the owners are wonderful, incredibly helpful, and fun to be around. There was plenty of room for the about 100 people(all indoors as it had unfortunately rained right after the ceremony). From the initial walk through, the prices, the stay, the amenities, the wonderful bartending and overall stunning experience I would give more stars if I could. Thank you so much for a plethora of memories and for giving the bride and groom a beautiful place to join in marriage. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures as I was in the ceremony and then my phone died + bridesmaid jobs ya know? But let me tell you how stunning each room was! If you love vintage, castle vibes and giant windows full of greenery and romantic towers you'll LOVE this place. We are already making plans to join in and throw a murder mystery party there next! read more

If you're planning to have an outdoor wedding in Iowa, you'd be crazy to NOT have it at the Renwick Mansion. The most obvious reason is that the place is GORGEOUS. We barely had to decorate because we had such a beautiful backdrop. Also, the owner, Joe Seng, is as nice as it gets. He helped make our reception VERY affordable and even parked a classic car out front to go with our "Gatsby" theme. If you're looking for a great alternative wedding spot, this is it. read more

This is a great venue for a wedding. The mansion has a lot of character, so it does not require a great deal of decorating. The hardest part is finding a way to fit all of the guests in for the ceremony. It's a great deal too. When renting the mansion, for the same price you get the mansion for three days compared to three hours at a lot of other venues. The manager is easy to work with and a pleasure. It's nice to have someone not try to over-charge because it's a wedding. Staying at the mansion is great too. Big, nice beds and nice rooms. Only downside is each floor has one shared bathroom, obviously due to the mansion's age. read more

The owners were gracious enough to allow me to host a surprise birthday party for my husband an hour prior to the Tomfoolery event. The owners, Sarah and Dane, were awesome. They could not have been more accommodating. Our guests stayed for happy hour and the Tomfoolery comedy show. Everyone had an amazing night. A very fun and inexpensive night for all. We will definately go back. read more

I thought that the Renwick Mansion would be an amazing location for a bridal shower. Unfortunately, the number of things that went WRONG with the service and location outnumbered those that went right. For starters, we arrived at the mansion hoping to set up the kitchen and prepare it for the caterer. We were met by a large delivery box on the prep area in the kitchen. There was also a roasting pan in only kitchen sink full of stagnant water. The kitchen fridge was full of old food, some of which had visible mold. We were told the fridge would be clear and have enough room for the caterer. This proved to be tricky. Also, when we opened the freezer, ice fell out on to the kitchen floor. There was an automatic ice maker with a small catch bucket below it. The freezer was filled with loose ice cubes which fell out on to the floor any time we needed in the freezer. The garbage in the kitchen had not been removed either. We started the day with a can half-full of trash. Not a typical kitchen sized trash can, but a large exterior size can. The most uncomfortable part of the whole day was the fact that the air conditioning was not turned on. We reserved the mansion for a day in the summer. The highs for the week were in the 90s. When we started the day at Renwick around 9:30, it was already 80 Degrees. We had to hunt down the thermostat and turned on the air conditioning. Our event was scheduled until 4pm and the temperature only dropped two degrees by the time we left. It was miserable to say the least, and the caterer was suffering in the kitchen even more than the guests. The mother of the bride had met with Angie (who was the point of contact for Renwick that we worked with) the week of the event. She discussed how she would like the rooms arranged and asked that the piano be removed from the areas we would be using. She was insured that this would not be a problem. However, the piano was in the middle of the room where the lunch tables would be set up. Also, the large tables that we had asked to be removed were still in the way. There we were; four of us in our Sunday dresses and getting ready for a bridal shower and we were stuck moving around a piano and huge tables. So much for looking our best; we were sweaty and dirty by the time we were finished. To add insult to injury, we were told by Angie that she would be available if we needed "anything". We called relentlessly from the time we got to the mansion and even left voice mails on her cell phone. She arrived hours later, after the party had begun thinking she and a gentleman that was with her would be able to move the piano. She was aware of the fact that the shower began at 1, and expected to move the piano when we already had rooms full of guests. We had to send them away so as not to interrupt the event. Toward the end of the event, we called Angie as we were instructed to do so to give her time to come walk through and retrieve the final payment for the rental. She said she would not be there for over an hour. We were not willing or able to wait that long. We tried to discuss how we could negotiate the final payment due to the number of issues and problems we had to deal with, but she was not willing to even discuss the possibility of working with us. I cannot even express how disappointed I was with the poor service we received from the Renwick Mansion and Angie. This was supposed to be a special day for a bridal shower but resulted in stress and anger with the number of items we were told would be taken care of before the shower that were never addressed. In business, customer service should be the number one focus. How can a business provide such poor customer service and not follow-through with their promises yet stay afloat? I just hope no others have to go through the problems we went through. Most space rentals are for special occasions and I would hate to see another one marred by such poor customer service. read more

Unkept promises=heartache. My partner and I visited the Renwich Mansion in Sep/October 2011. We fell in love with it and wanted this place to host our cilvil union ceremony and reception for 9/29/12. The woman showing us the Renwick stated the date we wanted in 2012 was available. We offered to give her a check for the deposit on the spot but she declined saying that we didn't need to make a deposit until the first of the year and that she would contact us. She went on to say that she didn't want the deposit now because it would mess up the accounting/book for 2011. So we wait, ring in 2012. We are not contacted in Januaruy. Now it's february and we call to say we want to make send our deposit for 9/29/12 and she states "sorry, we already booked that date and someone else walked in with cash in hand to secure that date.". My partner is stunned by this news, I am in tears and pissed off beyond belief. We had cash in hand in September of 2011 and they wouldn't take our deposit but someone else comes in with cash in hand and gets it? Seriously? This is how the Renwick does business? They woman on the phone offered no apologies or much sympathy. She wanted us to book a different date but offered no discount or incentive for our being screwed out of our original date. This may be a gorgeous location and unique setting for a wedding or other ceremony, but obviously they people/person responsible for booking and securing dates is irresponsible, stupid, and makes promises they can't keep. Beware when you deal with the Renwick personnel. read more
