Aldie Mansion

Amazing Wedding and Reception. Our Wedding was At Aldie Mansion In July of 2011. My guests are still raving about the mansion, service and food. We had our wedding on site, it was followed by Hors d'oeuvres and Cocktails on the back patio with the fountain running. Our planner, who is included with Jeffrey Miller Catering brought us right upstairs to the Brides Room for refreshments and hors d'oeuvres. We decided to see each other before our ceremony to have pictures done, Aldie Mansion was very flexible with allowing us to come in early. This way we got to really enjoy our cocktail hour and guest because of their flexibility.

We enjoyed a great dinner and dessert and spent hours of fun with our loved ones.

Aldie Mansion is a great venue and catering is exceptional!…

don't be fooled by the beautiful venue. Don't be fooled by the beautiful venue. I total agree with the other reviews, there were defiantly a few issues with Jeffery Miller Catering who provides the wedding planner for the Aldie. There was a terrible communication problem with the wedding planner and it seemed like we had to send emails at least 2 and 3 times before a satisfactory response was given, we told by the planner that her toddler ran off with some of our paperwork. The wedding planner was either over worked or confused on certain matters, she seemed to add more stress to the wedding planning.

However the incident that was most disturbing was some of our personal items were overlooked by the wedding planner and not even used, for example handmade table numbers and specially framed photos for the bookshelves. Items were dropped off in a very small room which also seemed to be the office used by the Aldie staff the Thursday before the Saturday wedding all very clearly marked with event date and bride and groom names as well as what was inside the actually boxes. After the guests were seated at the wedding it was noticed no handmade table numbers where placed on the table and by then it was too late also no photos on the bookshelves either. The reason why was someone from the Aldie placed a small artificial tree right on top of the labeled box while it was in their office, therefore it was totally missed. A complaint was made and Jeffery Miller and a staff member did apologize via email and refunded $100.00 due to the un -professionalism of the wedding planner, that $100.00 was less then what we paid for ONE invited guest. They basically told us the overlooked items were our fault and proceeded to quote a page in their 2010 hand book (we were given a 2008) stating the bride should assign a "friend or family member" to be in charge of her personal items (table number, photos, etc) that certianly would be the job of the wedding planner on the day of the wedding and if someone would have not covered up the box with the tree in the first place, those beautiful hand made table numbers would have been on the table instead of in the box during the reception. They also quoted from the hand book that written inventory of your personal items should be submitted, we dropped off the items on Thursday there was plenty of time for the wedding planner to inquire as to where our inventory sheet was and we could have easily provided it in plenty of but she never, ever mentioned needing one. So based on the above and overall experience I would not recommend the Aldie or JM catering they just don't pay attention to details, which is what you would expect from a wedding venue as expensive as this was. Food was just so, so and you had to pay for the tasting even after you booked a wedding there and yes the really do nickel and dime you to death.…
