Our Wedding was absolutely amazing thanks to Eileen & her staff!! The mansion is gorgeous & very well kept so we barely had to decorate besides centerpieces, etc. They take care of everything from setting up, cooking, coordinating, cleaning up...it’s really perfect because the bridal party & families can enjoy themselves!
