Our REVIEWS

Everything we dreamed of and more! The Historic Longview Mansion is the perfect site for any event, but especially your wedding day! Heather, Kelsi, Alex, Chris and team make sure you are taken care of every single minute of your day and help create a flawless stress free environment. They go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and the everyone and everything! PS — the food is amazing 🙂 Endless thank yous to the Longview Mansion staff!

Heather and Alexandra were absolutely amazing through the entire wedding planning process. Having our venue handle catering and bar services as well, really saved me so much stress and planning during the months prior to the wedding. They handled the months of random emails with questions, concerns, etc. like the pros that they are. They were flexible and understanding in the last couple weeks leading up to the event, as I was dropping off decor, running through tech testing, and worried about rain. Most importantly, having the day of setup, coordination, and just all around organization handled entirely by Heather and Alex meant that we didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day. I spent the whole day getting ready, and I think they only asked me one or two questions about my preferences on a couple last minute adjustments due to rain. They worked tirelessly to make sure our day was exactly how we had envisioned it, and if there were any hiccups we were blissfully unaware. The whole staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an amazing day/evening. Of course the venue itself is beautiful, charming, and incredibly photogenic—but I’m certain it’s Alex and Heather that made our day so special. We could not have asked for a better team, and we would choose The Longview Mansion again in a heartbeat.

This venue couldn’t have been any more perfect for us! We had 200 people and there was plenty of space at the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We had multiple people tell us their food was some of the best wedding food they had ever had, especially the truffle mashed potatoes 🙂 I would recommend this venue to anyone!

My name is Halle with Made by Halle. I am a Kansas City-based wedding photographer, and recently photographed a wedding here this past May! As a fellow vendor, I was so impressed with the care and attention to detail of the whole staff at the Longview Mansion. The morning of the wedding, I met the owner in the garden as she shared her joy for caring for the grounds and the people who work there. Emily McCollum was the main coordinator, and her calm & professional presence made the day run so smoothly! I had to leave a review because I didn’t want their kind & intentional efforts to go unrecognized.

My husband and I had our wedding here in May 2023 and it was absolutely fantastic. The entire mansion and lawn were gorgeous and the staff were absolutely amazing. Our coordinator Ashlin was so organized and ensured our day went completely perfectly. I highly recommend Longview Mansion for your wedding!! Again, Ashlin and the entire staff were perfect and made our day go by smoothly!

We fell in love just driving up the circle drive, looked at each other, and said “Yep, this is the one.” Longview Mansion was just GORGEOUS and we got so lucky with the perfect fall day with all the fall colors! Almost every guest made a comment to us about how beautiful and nice the venue was, it definitely has that wow factor which can be hard to find! They are all-inclusive with their catering and decor setup which took a load off my mind. I showed up with my decor in bins and they took it from there and also had things donated from previous weddings that I was able to use as well! I was able to get in with my girls at 10 a.m. to start getting hair and makeup done in their beautiful, three-room spanning bridal suite. On the other end of the hallway, the groom also had a multi-room suite. I’m sharing all the beautiful photos our photographer Emma Highfill captured that day of the venue and all its glory. You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful venue in which to get married.

The Historic Longview Mansion is an INCREDIBLE venue. The entire staff makes sure that your day is as seamless and easy as possible so your entire wedding party and guests are taken care of, and can focus on enjoying the event and celebrating the couple. My favorite part about working with the mansion team was their flexibility and willingness to make our day unique, always willing to make changes and work with our vision without questions. Because the venue provides the food and beverage, staff, linens, tables, chairs, decorations — you name it — it made our wedding planning process so much less stressful. The venue itself is gorgeous and truly unique. Our guests, family and friends were able to explore the mansion during the reception and learn more about its history. We had the whole venue to ourselves the day of our wedding, so we didn’t have to worry about travel from getting ready, to pictures, to the ceremony etc. This made our day feel so special — the Mansion itself was ours for the day. I cannot recommend this venue enough. I will be thinking about our wedding day, and how perfect it was, forever, and it wouldn’t have been possible without this venue and its staff.

My daughter got married at Longview Mansion Saturday, October 7. What a fantastic venue. Emily and crew were the absolute best. Recommend this venue 10 out of 10.

We had our wedding at Longview Mansion on April 29, 2022. It’s the most beautiful venue! Alex and Heather went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. We did not have a wedding planner and they took care of everything at the mansion. From helping us plan our day, to decorating/cleaning up, and even bustling my dress. Also, the food was incredible thanks to Chef Dan! Could not have asked for better people to help make our day amazing!

My grandson and new bride had their wedding, seated dinner, and reception at this venue. Staff were excellent, as was the food and drink. It was a wedding that every girl dreams of.

Debra McGuffey

When first looking for a wedding venue, Longview Mansion stuck out as a beautiful combination of nature and elegant, classic architecture. We were immediately impressed by the staff’s friendliness, professionalism, and knowledge. The mansion is gorgeous, and full of character and charm.

Our coordinator, Ashlin, was phenomenal. On our honeymoon, my wife and I couldn’t help but realize how smoothly everything ran thanks to Ashlin’s help. She was responsive to all requests, replied to emails in a timely manner, and went out of her way to ensure a perfect day for us. We even heard from our officiant that Ashlin was the best coordinator she had worked with (and that’s saying something!!). We are so thankful to the Longview Mansion team for making our wedding day a perfect day.

Another aspect that was superb was the in-house catering. We were happy to hear that we had one less vendor to worry about thanks to the in-house chef at Longview Mansion. We were very impressed by the selection and quality of the food. When our day came, guests were delighted with the food and were all moved through the buffet in great time.

My husband and I had our wedding here in May 2023 and it was absolutely fantastic. The entire mansion and lawn were gorgeous and the staff were absolutely amazing. Our coordinator Ashlin was so organized and ensured our day went completely perfectly. We had wedding guests come up to us after our wedding complimenting how amazing the venue, staff, and coordinator were. I highly recommend Longview Mansion for your wedding!! Again, Ashlin and the entire staff were perfect and made our day go by smoothly!
