Aldrich Mansion

Jan 2026

Listen, I am not even sure where to start with how perfect the Aldrich Mansion was for us and how wonderful the staff were to us. I want to start out with the tour Tony gave us just a little under 2 years before our wedding. Tony gave us a detailed tour, including the chapel, then we sat down and he was straight up, no bulls**t about details, cost, etc. This is much appreciated after meeting with venues that seemed to want to keep everything a secret. After Tony gave us time to discuss privately, we decided we wanted to put a deposit on our date right then and there. But… the date was already taken. We were worried about daylight since we planned to get married in November but we decided to put a deposit on a different date just in case the people who placed a deposit on our date did not move forward. And thank goodness, they did not! Tony and his team contacted us right away and we booked the date! Booking and everything that followed was so easy with Tony and his team (even though we had some extra steps that needed to be taken for a certain Bishop to marry us). Any time we had a question, it was answered in 24 hours. The actual weekend of the wedding was a breeze. There was a final meeting and a certain days things needed to be dropped off which was so easy to plan. For the rehearsal, Tony ran a tight ship and I LOVED it. It was efficient, clear, and I felt at ease going into wedding day. When we arrived at the bridal suite on wedding day, Tony welcomed us with a smile, as did all the staff. It all just felt… good, to put it simply, and that’s because Tony is just TOP TIER. Then we get to Chef Al – the in-house chef at Aldrich Mansion. Again, I don’t even know where to start. When it was time, we scheduled a tasting with Chef Al which was serviced by Zach who was also wonderful. Chef Al described every bite and each one was better than the last. Chef Al then took the time to sit down with us to chat about the food, obviously, but also to get to know us. We connected with him over Formula One and had some laughs. Closer to the wedding, we had another sit down meeting with Chef Al to make our final decisions. I couldn’t decide on something and he goes “ok, we will just do both”. He was also efficient, no bulls**t, upfront, etc. (as you can tell, I like it when people are straight-forward). Chef Al remembered things we talked about in our first meeting which I really appreciated because I know he has so many clients. Now to discuss his actual execution of the food – wow, wow, WOW. We had heard good things when choosing the venue and we had tasted his excellent food (and a few desserts) but to see it come to life for so many people and for all of that food to be of such a high quality was unreal. Guests could not stop talking about the food and, let’s be honest, that usually isn’t the top compliment at a wedding. And then the dessert room opened and it was the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my life. Chef Al is just BEYOND. We are so so lucky to have worked with him and gotten to know him. A smart, witty, incredible chef. The mansion itself is the most incredible, beautiful place. The bridal suite was a dream. It is true that you can only access it for two hours before the wedding but it wouldn’t have been big enough for us all to get ready in anyway. Those two hours were plenty of time to get dressed in the beautiful suite with my girls, take photos, look out onto the calm water, and get myself ready for what was to come. The mansion has SO many photo locations that we tried to take advantage of – I did the first look with my dad on the grand staircase, the first look with my now husband on the back patio, group photos on the hillside with the water in the back, and so much more. The cocktail hour and reception set-up (I will get to the ceremony next) in the mansion were done beautifully and everything was placed exactly where I was told it would be. Dinner is separated into two dining rooms (assuming you have enough guests for both). Unless things have changed, Tony will let you know that the normal plan fo

From the day we booked our wedding reception and ceremony at the Aldrich Mansion, our experience was amazing! Tony, Sarah, Chef Al, Jackie, Cheryl, and the entire team made Kevin and I feel like we were the only wedding happening this year (even though the hey three the same weekend as ours)! Tony's knowledge with the catholic requirements to throwing a fantastic party, made our decision that much easier! He even fixed my wedding shoes an hour before the ceremony!! If I had a question or needed details confirmed, Tony responded within 24 hours and if he was unavailable, Sarah reached out. I couldn't recommend the Aldrich Mansion more than enough! Chef Al, wow! The food was phenomenal. The cake and desert room, amazing. He and the entire kitchen team were on top of it, with food ready to go right after the toasts. This was special to us because we wanted to dance! What made it that much more special was their attention to detail to ensure all guest were comfortable, especially those who needed wheelchair assistance, like my 88 year old grandmother. The team is who make the Aldrich Mansion so great!
