The venue was great. Angie was very helpful throughout the entire process and my wedding reception went better than expected. The venue is beautiful and has a truly romantic feel.

What a beautiful, unique venue. When we started looking for venues, I was getting bored by all the same looking banquet halls in hotels. Then we walked into the Great Room (and it wasn't even set up for an event) and I knew this was the place. It has a very romantic, victorian feel, high ceilings, ballroom atmosphere. Then we met with Angie Wise, the most flexible, laid back, pleasant wedding coordinator that we had met with yet. The entire process of setting everything up (from picking out colors to food tasting) was fun and not stressful. She even gave us suggestions on local hotels and transport between them (as the Great Room does not have a hotel), which was a huge relief as I thought this was the only downfall of the Great Room. Angie was so prompt with all my last minute e-mails and helped calm down a nervous, (borderline bride-zilla) bride. Even though Angie has done a million weddings, I felt like mine was the only one she was planning. I would highliy recommend this venue (along with Angie Wise) and can truly say it was the best night of my life!

We were very pleased with everything from the Great Room. Angie was awesome and a huge help. She was very flexible and responsive. We met with her 2-3 times before our wedding and she went over everything in detail, answered all of our questions and gave great suggestions. We thought the Great Room had great pricing, a beautiful atmosphere, and amazing food. We were not disapointed with anything from the Great Room and Putting on the Ritz. The only thing we would have changed would to have been able to have more time. But, a job very well done by Angie and her staff. I would recommend their services to anyone.

The Great Room at Savage Mill is the most perfect reception venue. My husband and I loved everything about it. The high ceilings, the large windows, the pillars with the lights, it couldn't have been more perfect. Angie, is fantastic, she was very professional and responded quickly to any phone call or email that I had. I would definitely recommend The Great Room!

From start to finish we had a very positive experience with Angie and the Great Room. When we first began calling reception sites the Great Room staff were very helpful, informative, and communicative. They answered any questions that we had, allowed us to put a hold on the room, and promptly informed us when another party expressed interest in our date. Once we decided on the Great Room Angie and all the staff made our planning very easy: they were the only vendor that sent us physical bills before deposits were due (ensuring that we didn't have to pay any late fees), and were very accommodating to all of our questions and requests. Angie always responded within one business day of our emails (often within just a couple of hours!) and was very good about asking questions to verify what we wanted. On the day everything ran very smoothly: everything was set up beautifully, the food was fantastic, and Wendy (standing in for Angie at the event) stayed on top of proceedings. The service was so good that it seemed as though food appeared, drinks were poured, and dishes vanished by magic! The only minor gripes were that Angie could not be present for the reception (although Wendy stepped in and did a fine job), and that there was no help on hand for the cake cutting. We're not sure who is normally responsible for that, so it may not be a fault with the Great Room, but it wasn't a major problem either way. All things considered the Great Room gets a very strong recommendation from us.

I am so glad we had our reception at the Great Room! It was beautiful, the service was fabulous, and it was everything we could've asked for. Everything ran so smoothy; I don't remember having to do anything except enjoy myself!

I am so glad we got married here! We had our reception outside on the deck under the tent. Then went right into the Great Room for the reception. The room was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. We fell in love with this venue because it has history and personality and is nothing like your average ballroom. The high ceilings and big windows are so pretty! The flow of the room is really nice too and the dance floor is huge. Angie was amazing to work with! She is an expert and helped us so much in making all of our decisions. She had great suggestions too. Her and her staff are like a well oiled machine! Everything went so smoothly from our first meeting to the big day. Putting on the Ritz has awesome food too, but I'll review that separately.

I had my reception here and although we had to book early, Angie was FANTASTIC to work with and I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding because she took care of everything. My husband and I were treated like a king and queen! The staff even packed up the extra food for my parents who were having an after party right after the wedding. Angie promptly answered all my questions and emails, especially the week of the wedding. Her and the staff set up my guestbook area, table numbers, and cookie bar and it looked fabulous.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. It went so smoothly and with the expert guidance of Angie and her staff, the day was flawless. The food was amazing (got many many compliments), the location is so beautiful and it was set up just right. Angie is a joy to work with. She is unbelievably good at what she does and I felt so safe in her hands. I would recommend this location, caterer, and of course Angie to anyone!

This room is SPECTACULAR! I loved it from the moment I saw it. We worked with Angie and she is just top notch! The room exceeded everything I could have imagined for my wedding. Guests are still commenting on just how grand and beautifull everything looked. With Angie, we were able to find the absolute perfect light pink and kelly green combo for the linens. They were also able to light the room with the same colors. The room is large and spacious and really well priced. The dance floor is huge, enought for all your guest to boogie down. The room is big enought for 250ish, I had only 100 guests and it was just grand. It is an antique site with a lot of history. I love it, love it Love it! Book it now!!!!!! I would highly recomend this site to anyone looking for a venue. You will not regret it.

We had our ceremony at our church, so it was just the reception venue - and it was beautiful! Just the right size, good flow, and we love the historic and yet elegant feel. We're still getting compliments on the location (and food and everything!)!

This was the place I wanted to have my reception since I was little and it exceeded all my expectations!! It's a large beautiful room, with a big dance floor. Can accommodate 300 people. The table linens can be practically any color or combination of colors you want. Tables are large and comfortably sit 8 people. There is even an outside deck. One can have both a ceremony and a reception all in the same place if one wants. Only downside is that parking is limited near by the room, though it is ample in a further away lot, that requires guests to walk through the antique mall. Angie was wonderful she was kind, and professional and as a former event planner totally on the ball and knowledgeable. They exclusively work with Putting on the Ritz catering, which I found convent because they were outstanding. The room allows for a DJ or even a live band. And they can decorate to match any mood, style or color scheme one may want. It was a phenomenal reception.

Angie was great to work with - very professional throughout my wedding planning process. Initially there was some type of glitch in the computer system so she wasn't getting my emails, but Angie was quick to find solutions to the problem. We were scheduled to meet with Angie the week of the wedding but she was unfortunately sick; her assistant filled in for her and Angie made sure to contact me for any additional information. On the day of, everything went very smooth and the room was set up perfectly! The staff was professional, the food was excellent, and the venue was great for our wedding of 150 people. Great dance floor and environment. Highly recommend Angie and The Great Room!
