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
"I had the honor of photographing a wedding at the Hartley House recently. This historical home feels like a fairytale with breath taking natural light flooding in from every window. It’s the perfect backdrop for any wedding! Crystal is amazing with helping your big day run smoothly!"

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 events up to 200 guests. Our 40'x80' white frame tent is adorned with white market lighting. During off season, you can dine al-fresco under our market lighting or rent a tent in any style/size you desire. Several options are pictured above. 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.

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.

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.
