A Perfect Celebration at The 1859 - An Eventective User from West Chester

The 1859 is a fabulous venue! From the first time I contacted the owner, Kate, to the last moment as we walked out the door, absolutely everything was excellent. The unique and decorative beauty of the venue is welcoming, warm and visually pleasing for any type of event. Kate is a pleasure to work with; professional, friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The kitchen and buffet area work so well for the caterer and guests, not to mention how attractively it blends into the ambiance of the venue. Even all the technology worked perfectly. Kudos as well to Angie, who represented the venue the evening of our event. She quietly and efficiently and with such grace made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Thank you Kate and all involved for making this celebration a perfect one!

Beautiful Venue for Wedding, Rehearsal Dinner, or Reception - An Eventective User from Cincinnati, Ohio

The 1859 event venue was absolutely perfect for our rehearsal dinner. The size of the event space and areas for the caterer allowed for great service and no inconvenience to the guests.  The island allowed for a carving station at one end, and a pasta station at the other, with all of the other side dishes in the middle – it was perfect! The perfect set up for food, bar and decorations made for a very elegant evening. The staff was extremely helpful, as well.

Management Response
