Great Place to Have an Event (and the Owner is Wonderful!) - An Eventective User from MACOMB, IL

We had our wedding at Palmer House Stable (PHS) at the end of December, and the owner (Al) was AMAZING to work with. He really made our dream wedding a reality. The venue was gorgeous and just what we needed for a heartfelt ceremony and long evening of dancing. He let us stay well past midnight and was there to help us search the sidewalks when my spouse lost my wallet (oops). Thank you, Al, and thank you to Palmer House Stable!

Management Response

Thanks for the nice review we really enjoyed hosting your wedding and reception and fortunate to have an open date before your wedding so you could utilize it to decorate. Please stay in touch you are family and receive family discounts!

Great choice for a celebration of our mother. - An Eventective User

The venue is gorgeous. Al did such a great job renovating the building and he was easy to work with and contact.

Management Response

Since 2013 I have always said that your success for your event starts with a venue owner who really cares! Thanks for your positive comments.
