    The team at Phelps-Hatheway House & Garden was dedicated, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout our entire wedding planning process. The venue itself was beautiful, with a spacious and cozy indoor space as well as stunning outdoor gardens that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. They made coordinating with our vendors seamless and even helped with the venue clean up afterwards, which was such a relief and meant so much to us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we are so grateful to the Phelps-Hatheway team for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.
