A fairytale wedding at The Palace

What can I say? Our wedding at the Palace exceeded our wildest expectations; we literally could not have dreamed for a more perfect day. From start to end, we felt cared for and focused on. While this review is lengthy, we felt it was important to give credit where credit is due!
The bridal suite was huge, with two changing rooms and common lounge, absolutely perfect for our large bridal party of 10 bridesmaids. The groomsmen suite was equally impressive, with plenty of room to get ready.
The actual venue itself was beautiful. Driving in, it truly looks like a palace, and we were happy to see that we had our own parking area and guest entrance. We had our ceremony in the grand foyer, which comfortably sat our 200+ guests. The entrance of the bride was spectacularly, beautifully designed to showcase her. The cocktail hour food was unbelievable, and guests came up to personally tell us how much they enjoyed it! And the reception space was incredible. It felt spacious and elegant. The lighting was perfect and the staff was efficient and progressional. Of course, the reception food was spectacular as well!
Finally, and most importantly, our Maitre D and bridal attendant were vital to us having the time of our lives. The bridal attendant, Ashley, made us feel so cared for, checking up on us constantly and addressing any of our requests. She made sure we ate, which is something we didn’t expect we needed, bringing us a whole tray of the cocktail hour food, holding our reception dinner to keep it warm and even collecting an assortment of the desserts! Our Maitre D, David, absolutely ran the show. He worked seamlessly with our wedding planner, making sure we remained on schedule while somehow not making us feel rushed. He was super flexible, accommodating last second changes. He was clear and concise with his instructions, and as a result, the day went so smoothly! To top it off, he made sure that we had all of our stuff at the end of the day, going as far as helping us load our cars.
To sum up our experience at the Palace, they made our ideal wedding come to life. Every single detail matters to them, which made our day so special. If you’re considering the Palace, absolutely go for it. You won’t regret it!

100,000,000/10 Stars!

The Palace was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! There are so many photo opportunities at the Palace; both outside and inside. We used the West House. The area for cocktail hour is spacious and has the cutest library corner! The ballroom is gorgeous! There is a staircase that leads to the dance-floor that my husband and I used as our entrance – super unique! There is also a cute balcony where I tossed my bouquet from! We also liked that our guests were all on one side together instead of splitting his side/her side. Not only is the Palace STUNNING but the staff was out of this world. David, our maître d was phenomenal. He was like a secret-service agent keeping everything in order and moving along smoothly. He was also a huge help with guiding the photographers and videographer. My bridal attendant Vanesa was the loveliest person I’ve ever met! She was prepared for anything and everything. Stain on your gown? Tide pen at the ready. Hair falling out? Do not fear, she will curl it for you. Want ice-cream at your Venetian hour? She will personally head to the kitchen to get you a bowl. My bustle was H E A V Y. Vanesa helped me with it at least 100 times throughout the night, finding me before I realized it came un-done. Now onto the food – my friends and family are still talking about it! Everything was delicious! As a bride, you always hear stories about “not eating” on your wedding day. Do not worry, the Palace staff did a fantastic job ensuring that me and my husband had a chance to eat throughout the night. They were also fantastic at keeping our drink orders refilled without request. Did I also mention that the Venetian hour was included!? I would 100% recommended the Palace again and again.

The Palace at Somerset Park was one of our most favorite venues to work at. The staff is so efficient there and the maitre'd, Richard, and bridal assistant, Latonya, worked together flawlessly and were so easy to work with ourselves. They helped us flow through portraits all while keeping the bride and groom from seeing each other before the ceremony. The Palace is beautiful and the food is amazing. Can we work here every weekend? ;)
