Shannon M. Married on 01/01/2022Wonderful, professional wedding venue
The Publick House and specifically its "day of" event staff were even better than we could have expected. Jon, the banquet manager, was a true professional and incredibly on it. Lexi, our wedding assistant, was kind and reassuring. She always kept our drinks full and our wedding party happy!
With all this said, the communication from the sales staff prior to my event was average at best... But, don't let that hold you back from hiring this venue. The day of staff blew us away!
My mother and father in law got COVID the week of the wedding and they organized and helped us zoom them for the ceremony and reception. The entire night and morning of the staff were constantly checking in on me to make sure everything was going smoothly!
For the reception, the food was exceptional - just like the tasting. Their house made cake was a guest favorite. If I could get married all over again, I would book the Publick House a second time! -

Nima N. Married on 04/21/2023Best night of our lives
Publick house is located in a beautiful place with gorgeous buildings and decorations. Outside landscaping was also lovely. The staff were super responsive, helpful, nice, and flexible. All our guests noticed the professionalism of the staff. The food and service was great too. Even the chef came over to us and asked if we enjoyed the food. We got the open bar and the service was perfect. They were so supportive that we had no stress. They pointed out all the details that we never thought about. We brought the material for centerpieces and gave them a photo of our design, and they did it better than we thought. They also collected the decorations for us after the event and stored it for us. They had an awesome on site bakery as well. The cake was amazing and nicely decorated.
They gave discount codes for the guests with complimentary items from the bakery.
We all had a memorable night! I highly recomend publick house for a perfect wedding or any other event.
