Our June 23 wedding at Barr Mansion was above and beyond our wildest dreams! When beginning the venue search, we were looking for something peaceful, romantic, garden-like and just all around lovely. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew that it was something special! My hubby and I really loved the all-inclusive type of feel with Barr--food, venue, help, etc. Their list of preferred vendors was super helpful for filling in the gaps, especially since Barr Mansion has great relationships with them! The mansion and surrounding areas are absolutely beautiful, especially in the spring and summer months. Because we were married in the middle of summertime and had family coming in from Chicago, we opted to do the ceremony inside of the ballroom and have dinner in the farmstead, then back to the ballroom for dancing. Though it turned out to still be quite hot everywhere (103+!), it was the best night! From the incredibly delicious food to yummy Steel City Pops, to a beautiful setting and a surprise birthday cake for my hubby s Grandpa, everything was absolutely wonderful! The grounds, the staff, the chef--EVERYONE--is eager to help, attentive to whatever you may need and willing to go the extra mile to make it all happen. The VIP award, though, would definitely go to Heather Winnika. She is put together, thoughtful, and all around remarkable! Heather was a joy to work with and always made us feel like her priority. We are forever grateful for the kindness, expertise and dedication from everyone at Barr Mansion! Thank you all for making our wedding day the very best day!
