We had our ceremony and reception here--the perfect size for a small, intimate, family-only wedding (45 guests)...we felt like we were at a family member's home! We appreciated all the provided items that were first class: fabulous linens; lovely serving trays; plates, silverware and chargers that were far from the standard boring white stuff you get at a huge reception hall.

You won't find another pair like Donna and Katherine; they are wedding experts and help plan every detail! The venue is already so glamorous that you need not worry about decorations. I added small white and pink flower arrangements to tie in my wedding colors! I felt like a true princess on that day and can truly say it was the best day ever!

Rebecca Jeffries(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2016 My husband and I just had our ceremony here. We chose it because of how beautiful it is, inside and out. I really wanted a ceremony with a view and I definitely got that! Katherine, the coordinator, is a very lovely woman with a lot of energy and she really wanted to make this an amazing day for us. I'm only giving this place 4 stars because of the 60 person maximum which includes your bridal party. I had to have a great majority of our guest be reception only. I know the house has limited space but I had just a couple people over and they were very firm so I had to make some sacrifices there. Overall, it's still a beautiful place and I recommend it for small weddings or even a rehearsal dinner venue! Reviewed on 28-07-2017
Such a beautiful venue, run so professionally. There was no small detail that was not attended to. The wedding was perfect, starting from the prep time in the beautiful upstairs bedrooms, to every element of the reception. I could not give a higher receommendation.

The view is unmatched by any other spot in NKY. We loved it so much it was the only place we looked at when deciding on where to hold our wedding. We had a wonderful experience working with Katherine and Donna to plan our wedding. They were so attentive to our needs and willing to accommodate any idea we came up with. Neither my husband nor I grew up in the Cincinnati area, so all of our family travel for our wedding and for many of them it was their first visit to the area. The Wiedemann was so welcoming and left a great impression on our out of town visitors. Many of them saying this was the best wedding and the most beautiful venue they had ever been to. I would highly recommend the Wiedemann for any event. Looking forward to hosting an anniversary party there in a few years!! Reviewed on 03-10-2015

We were told by several guests that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. It will surely be a memorable night for all guests.\r\rDonna, Roger, and Katherine made the planning process so easy and stress free. The staff at the Wiedemann takes care of all the set up and tear down so you the night is completely about you.

It is absolutely gorgeous! Donna, Katherine and the rest of the team did a wonderful job. They made us feel welcome through the entire process and took care of drop off appointments for all of our vendors. They let me drop off all wedding things (my dress, guest book, decorations, etc.) during the rehearsal. When I got there on the big day, everything was already set up and ready to go, from the centerpieces to the guest book. They even helped cue our ceremony musicians too. They were very professional. \r\rThis place is truly perfect for a small wedding. They do top at 60 people, so keep that in mind. We had to trim some numbers off our guest list, but it was worth it. We would wholeheartedly recommend the Wiedemann! Reviewed on 09-08-2015
Christian Gausvik(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-06-2015 Donna, Katherine and the rest of the team at Wiedemann will absolutely make your wedding perfect in every way. From the first visit to Wiedemann we knew this was the place for us. The view is spectacular, the architecture of the building is unique, the gardens are beautiful and the history makes the whole thing so unique. Donna and Katherine helped us plan every detail and coordinated all our day-of deliveries. They truly are professionals and they know how to make the day go smoothly. We really felt through the entire process that they personally cared about all the details. It felt like our good friends were planning the wedding and there with us to make it go smoothly. I cannot stress enough how well the entire evening went. It's worth mentioning the great value of having a wedding here as well. Not only did we get a beautifully decorated venue, but the ceremony was here too and they handled parking, chairs, the sound system, music, coordinated catering, they provided linens for the table, the silverware, the cleanup and so much more. You really get a complete full service package and there isn't much else to worry about. The smaller venue size meant we got to interact with each guest and for anyone discounting this venue based on size I would strongly urge you to consider the benefits of having a smaller wedding and getting to personalize things a bit more. We will forever remember the night at Wiedemann Mansion and the people that made it happen. It was beyond perfect. Reviewed on 20-06-2015
Sarah Amand(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-06-2015 We just got married last Friday night and are still buzzing about how great everything was at WHM. When renting this venue, you are not just getting a mansion....you are also getting a wedding planner (Katherine and her staff were great), a place that decorates itself (which means you can save $$ on flowers), all plates and linens, oh and how about that killer view with free fireworks on a Friday night of a Reds home game? The inside of this mansion is both stunning and historical. Your guests will find all kinds of conversation pieces both inside, and on the giant porch that overlooks the city of Cincinnati. We had several of our guests approach us throughout the night telling us that this was the best wedding they've ever been to. We aren't just tooting our own horn, but this place is that absolute best if you are having a wedding/reception for 60 people or less. You also must go with Funky's Catering, which was the most customer friendly of the 3 preferred caterers at WHM. Seriously, if you're looking to separate your wedding from all the other church, beach, park, and backyard weddings....go with this place! You and your guests will be talking about it for a long time. Reviewed on 07-06-2015
Lauren Weddle(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-01-2015 The Wiedemann Hill Mansion is an incredibly unique, intimate venue that you and your guests will simply fall in love with! I can't tell you how many of our family and friends have since commented on how wonderful the service was at our wedding and how welcome and doted on they felt throughout the evening. The venue itself is impeccably decorated, warm, and inviting, and Donna, Katherine, and the team go above and beyond to make sure that every last detail of the day is absolutely perfect. With the grandeur of a timeless estate and the warmth of your own family's living room, the Wiedemann is a truly bespoke and unforgettable venue.

The Wiedemann Hill Mansion overlooks the Cincinnati skyline making for breathtaking photos not only on the outside but the inside is even better. Stain glass windows, wood inlaid floors, hand carved mantels and the list goes on. Beautiful bride and groom rooms to get your evening started in style. \rAlso included was an event planner that made being a bride a stress free job. The event planner took care of contacting the caterer , music, timeline, place cards, top of the line linens and flatware etc... \rI was even able to drop everything off the evening prior for a stress free wedding day. All I had to do was simply show up. \rIf you are looking for a one of a kind elegant and intimate occasion, this is certainly the venue for you. I generally don't write reviews but was so impressed, especially after the photos returned, that I wanted to give back a small token of my appreciation. I even try to think what next event I could host at the Wiedemann House. Happy shopping. \rDeborah. Reviewed on 02-02-2015
Katie Claytor(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-12-2014 I absolutely LOVED my wedding at the mansion. We got married in December and it was decorated beautifully..best part is, I didn't have to do a single thing, and we received a discount for getting married in the winter. The ceremony for indoor weddings takes place on the staircase with all the guests standing around, and it makes for a super intimate, romantic and unique setting. \r\rSomething for other brides to keep in mind is that they can host a maximum of 60 guests, so that may be difficult for some; however, if you can manage to cut down your guest list, it is definitely worth it. \r\rThe one downside was the new wedding coordinator that they hired. While she is experienced and helpful, neither me nor my family members liked working with her (and I typically get along with everyone). If she had been working there when I first visited the mansion, I would've had second thoughts about booking the venue. \r\rAll in all though, I am very pleased with the services we received at the mansion, and the wedding could not have been more beautiful!

Kathryn Rawlinson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-09-2014 We visited a couple of places with a view of downtown Cincinnati, but the second we walked in the door of Wiedemann we knew that had to be our venue. The view of downtown is incredible, the Mansion is beautiful and the owners Donna and Roger are great. Donna was always very responsive to any questions we had planning along the way. We had a few meetings to check in over the course of the year of planning. Our day of coordinator, Katherine, kept everything moving, made sure everyone was where they needed to be, and helpful in anything that we asked for. We got so many comments on how gorgeous our venue was, and one of my guests said it was legitimately the nicest wedding she had been to. During our last dance, there ended up being fireworks downtown which everyone loved. The timing was perfect! Our photographer made a comment that wedding parties travel all day to get the photos that we were able to get in one location with the garden and the views etc. We are so glad we booked Wiedemann Hill Mansion and thankful that we got to work with Donna, Katherine and Roger!
