“The Historic Post Office exceeded my expectations. My wedding was absolutely beautiful! The staff was very helpful and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Their suggestions, professionalism, and expertise did not go unnoticed. The HPO staff definitely knows how to do weddings and does them extremely well! The bridal suite and groom suite were both beautiful and elegant, a perfect place for pre-ceremony pictures! I definitely recommend using the HPO for any and all events, not just weddings. I would love to work with them again in the future if given the opportunity! Loved every minute of being there!”

“We decided to go with The Historic Post Office as our wedding venue because they have these events down to a science. Everything leading up to the wedding went so smoothly with our HPO coordinator. Their existing relationships with vendors made that aspect so painless as well. The day of was fabulous too. Getting ready in the beautiful bridal suite, the elegance of the venue itself, and the flip between ceremony and reception was all perfect! We would definitely recommend HPO to anyone looking to plan their wedding.”

“Absolutely loved working with the HPO over the course of a year as I planned my wedding. It provides you with the perfect clean-slate venue that allows you to bring in your own vendors and really make the place your own. The staff is so lovely to work with and made the process so easy. Special shout out to our HPO coordinator who I couldn’t have imagined the day without. She coordinated all of my vendors and told me where to go and when on the day-of, which made everything so easy. It’s 100% worth the money to get one because they know the vendors and space so well. Loved my experience at this absolutely gorgeous venue and wouldn’t have had it any other way. Thank you!”

“The Historic Post Office simply did not disappoint. The venue was clean and the staff was wonderful. Our HPO coordinator went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was nothing short of perfect. She was available throughout the entire planning process. I knew I could count on her for anything! The venue itself is elegant and had everything we needed for the day of. The wedding party suites were comfortable and spacious, giving everyone plenty of space to get ready and spend the day together. We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding day. Thank you all so much for everything you did!”

“From the moment I walked into The Historic Post Office I knew I HAD to get married there. My husband and I booked this venue a little over a year ago to be sure that we got it! Our wedding was a day I’ll never forget. Our HPO coordinator was AMAZING through the wedding planning process and always kept me calm and handled so much so I didn’t have much to worry about. She communicated with all my vendors which took a lot of the stress off of me. For that, I will forever be grateful! The staff on the day of was great! The venue itself is so beautiful and helped my dreams come true! Best day ever!”

“This venue was our dream venue! They communicated well with us prior to the wedding and the staff who was there during the event was super helpful! My photographer found great places to take pictures, the bride and groom getting ready rooms were a dream, and the space is so gorgeous we hardly had to decorate! You can rent linens directly from them, which was a huge help as well!”

“We made the decision early on to add on the coordination services they offer and were so lucky to work with the HPO Team. They made our entire vision come to life and the reception was exactly how we pictured it. They communicated with vendors, coordinated the set up, and even broke down the event at the end of the night. They were so responsive to my emails and always provided valuable insight when I was making decisions. They are so knowledgeable! We had the absolute best experience with the HPO and can't stop recommending them to our friends and family.”

Speaking of the planning process, the best decision we made throughout it was hiring an HPO Day-Of-Coordinator. My husband and I cannot sing their praises enough. They are so terrific at what they do and made the wedding planning process easy and made our wedding day completely stress-free. The HPO Team is organized and professional with a spectacular attention-to-detail and calm personality that make them a dream to work with. My husband and I were able to be completely present during our wedding day because of their hard work!”

“I am not sure that I can say enough amazing things about the Historic Post Office! As soon as we walked in, we knew that this was where we wanted to get married. We actually changed our wedding date to match what was available! The space is absolutely beautiful but still gives you room to decorate and make it your own. Our guests are still raving about this venue. We hired an HPO coordinator, and we could not be happier with all of the help that she provided. Our coordinator absolutely went above and beyond to make our wedding day magical. I could not imagine a better place to share such a special day!”

“Our HPO coordinator helped me remember so many details towards the end that I would surely have forgotten. Her suggestions and recommendations for other vendors were amazing. She worked directly with my other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. The reception was perfect and if anything went wrong I was completely unaware. You can't go wrong with this venue or their team.”
