“The Darby House made all of our wedding dreams come true and more! Any questions or concerns I had, they were quick to respond and exceed my expectations. The venue was beautiful and didn’t need a lot of decoration, it was already perfect! Our guests had high praises for the venue and enjoyed themselves. I could not recommend the Darby House more”

“Choosing the Darby House as our wedding venue was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. The venue is absolutely breathtaking. There are so many beautiful locations for photos and our guests could not stop raving about our venue. Not only is the venue beautiful, but the staff is extraordinarily helpful. Our day of coordinator, Katarina, seamlessly mapped out our special day down to the minute, ensuring everything ran smoothly. She was attentive and made sure my husband’s and my only job was to enjoy the day. I cannot speak highly enough about this wonderful venue”

“Our experience with Darby House was absolutely amazing! From day one, we were very comfortable with the staff and their kind, warm, professional personalities. Alex was our coordinator and I cannot say enough how amazing she was. By the end of our wedding day, she did not feel like just our event coordinator, but a friend. Every time we met with Alex we left feeling very calm and at ease. With the staff at Darby house, we knew our wedding was in good hands. ”
