What our customers say

We had a fairy tale wedding on Valentine's Day at the Duke this year. Honestly, it couldn't have gone better for us. Every single guest told us it was the PERFECT wedding and we had guests coming up days later just to thank us for getting married, they had such a good time. The venue, the staff, the food, the decor, the legends of history on the wall... it was a PERFECT wedding, and we are thrilled we chose the Duke for our special day!!
