My husband and I just had our wedding at the Hobson on 9/28/2024 and we cannot recommend it enough! The venue itself is sooo beautiful. The manager, Ann, and her team are amazing. Ann was there for us during each and every step of our wedding planning. She has many years of experience and would always give us the best recommendations when asked. We could always tell she truly wanted nothing less than our day to be the best day ever. Ann and her team have wedding day coordination down to a T. They execute everything flawlessly and manage anything and everything that arises. I can't even think of all the things they did behind the scenes to make our day go as planned. AND they were all so lovely to work with. Book your wedding with them, you will be so happy you did!

My daughter had her wedding at the Hobson in November 2021. It was originally scheduled for November 2020, but it was rescheduled due to COVID. The staff was amazing through the changes, keeping the same pricing structure and staying connected throughout the entire year. They had several meetings to ensure everything was going to be perfect. The day of the ceremony, they had two people there for the entire day to ensure all of our needs were met. The place is immaculate and beautiful. They worked with the vendors to ensure everything was happening according to the schedule. They made it so no one in the wedding party had to worry about anything. They were amazing!. The bar tenders were also amazing and worked very hard. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for an elegant venue with old world charm.

My son had his wedding here & it was Great!! Building and interior was spotless. Attendants & bar staff were 👌! Nice having someone monitoring the door and people outside. The experienced staff catered to every need and they were eager to help out or make suggestions. Awesome place and reasonably priced for everything they Offered.

The Hobson is soooo beautiful. Not just in one room but throughout the entire venue! There are plenty of opportunities for photographers to take some elegant photos here. I would recommend at least taking a tour here.
