Weddings at Hartley House
Danielle Hamilton, Bride
"I had my wedding here and everything was so perfect. This venue provides so many options for your wedding… whether you are wanting your event inside, outside or a combination of both. We did both to be able to show off the beautiful historical charm the Hartley House has to offer...which is one of the reasons we chose this venue!"
Kaitlyn Allison, Bride
"I can not say enough good about this venue. Not only is the space STUNNING, the hospitality is incredible. We chose this venue the second we went to see it. The day of the wedding, they were nothing but helpful. We have kept in contact following the wedding because they are such great people."
Madison Behnke, Photographer

The House
Venture outside to our newly renovated reception site. Offering over 3,200 sq. ft. of hardscaping, this area is the perfect size for dancing, dining and mingling for events up to 175 guests. Our 40'x80' white frame tent is adorned with white market lighting and a gold chandelier above the dance floor. Our diamond trellis jasmine wall is the ideal backdrop for your cake table or a fun photo booth! And yes, we can attach your neon sign for that extra layer of flair.
the grounds
Reception SITE
Our side lawn is our most recent renovation and home to our crape myrtle garden, our courtyard fountain named Winston (He was so cute we just had to name him.), and an enormous oak tree that is over a century old. The side lawn is a popular location for ceremonies and cocktail hour.
the grounds
Side Lawn
Our spacious 1000 sq. ft Bridal Suite is the perfect place to get ready for the big day. It includes a bridal dressing hall, bedroom, sitting parlor, private restroom, and private balcony (which is perfect for pics!). The bridal dressing hall offers three vanity stations, a dining table for six, and a fully stocked Starbucks coffee cart. The sitting parlor is home to our blue sofa and two oversized gold antique mirrors. These mirrors are THE location for that infamous dress picture or bridal shot. The bridal bedroom is perfect for relaxing or hanging those bridal party dresses from the bed canopy. We like to think our bridal suite is fit for a queen.
second level
Bridal Suite
The Groom's Tavern is located on the main level and offers a cigar room feel with its 12' ceilings, deep cyan walls, leather seating and walnut furnishings. The wooden bar is ideal for sharing pre-ceremony brews.

Olivia Lindower, Bride
" Crystal and John are so amazing, professional, and very helpful. They made the months leading up to our wedding stress free. We loved the venue and all it had to offer. They are enjoyable to work with and are very understanding! The inside of the over 200 year old house is decorated beautifully and can be used for any event."
