racine masonic center

great for a wedding venue.Wendy the hostess was great and explained the history of the mansion.It was still decorated for Christmas..This is a beautiful place to just stop and visit for a trip back in time.

Visited here a couple of times to learn more about the historic places in Racine, I was impressed by both the facility and the staff here. Ms. Spencer gave us a great tour of the building, imparting quite a few tidbits of local history that you might not find elsewhere. The building is in very good shape, we saw how the large dining room was setup for a mock wedding. The large "lodge" room was setup for a wedding ceremony, which was impressive given the amount of guests that it could support. The mansion was very engaging, each room had its own little story that tied into the story of the building in a very interesting way. The history of the place is amazing! We would definitely come back here for future events and definitely consider this when we decide to hold our wedding.

If you want a wedding Nazi to take over your event and make you feel completely miserable and disrespected, this is the venue for you! Besides being terribly rude to your guests, she will make sure you feel helpless as her volunteer staff disrespects you at every turn. If your trays on the buffet line are empty, DON'T bother her volunteer staff in the kitchen, they will physically push you out and slam the door in your face. She will then take their side and make you feel the fool for expecting the "help" she promised at booking to lift a finger at your request. Her volatile demeanor and aggressive command of the event were offensive. I now understand why she has so many platters, champagne glasses, vases and other accessories available for your use. When the event is over, she claims nothing was left behind, and keeps it all. The experience is soooooo unpleasant, no one dares to return for their belongings. This includes shoes and cameras. Brides beware of this venue for your dream wedding. It could turn out to be a nightmare.
