Perfect Destination Wedding 12/12/2011

I am not from Reno so my wedding was a destination wedding. The Chism House wedding planner worked with me to make sure all the details for my wedding were perfect and that I was using excellent vendors. This was great since I had to do all this long distance. The day of the wedding the staff was super friendly, helpful and made sure my wedding was perfect. I could tell they really cared about my wedding and wanted me to feel like my day was extra special! Everyone thought with the victorian house and exquiste grounds it was extra special. I would recommend as a great location for an outdoor wedding. more

Wedding Bliss! 9/4/2011

I got married here and it was beautiful. It turned out to be the most wonderful night of my life! If you get married here your friends and family will be so impressed, the comfortable old victorian house (they let you use) and the backdrop of the pond and grounds lets you go without decorating. My friends and family still talk about it! It was my ""dream"" wedding through and through. Everything I could imagined, including a happy and drunk father of the bride! more

Great Deal & Stress Free! 6/9/2011

My husband and I got married at the Chism House. The coordinator was prompt in responding wih our concerns and incredibly helpful when a bridesmaid got sick and couldn't be in the ceremony. Everything got rearranged quickly, which was nice for me, as I didn't have to worry! Working with everyone at the Chism House allows you to relax during your wedding, as they take care of everything for you. more

Beyond my expectations! 12/21/2010

Our daughters wedding was here at the Chism House this year. This location is beautiful! The lawns, pond, and vintage home was the perfect location for her wedding. From the first time we met with Laci and Hugo to schedule the wedding we were treated like we were the only wedding for the year. They answered our questions, and their suggestions for vendors was the best. more

Wonderful Wedding 11/24/2010

We could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony and reception this last July. Everything was beautiful and the whole staff was so accomodating! We are so happy that we chose the Chism House and if we had to do it all over again we would chose the Chism House over a Lake wedding any day! Because of losing another venue at the Lake our wedding was planned in less than 8 weeks and everything was perfect! We could not have asked for more help from the Chism House, their staff and wonderful vendors! It will be a day that we happily remember forever! more

Beautiful Outdoor Location 11/14/2010

When I got engaged over 3 years ago I knew I wanted an outdoor garden wedding. My Mom had been to another wedding at The Chism House, and suggested the location. The second I walked onto the property I knew it was THE place. The staff is amazing and me through all my planning. They were able to bring all of my little girl dreams to life, while keeping everything so organized. The house and grounds are breath taking and the staff amazing! We even got to have our dogs in the ceremony! more

The BEST Day! 11/12/2010

To April and everyone on the Chism House staff, thank you for everything. From the time we first visited the Chism House to the last moments of our wedding, everything was a complete pleasure. Not only was the Chism House an idyllic location in everyway, but everyone we worked with really made planning our wedding a wonderful experience. All of our emails were answered quickly, all our family members were welcomed for tours and all of our ideas were transformed into dreams come true by the Chism House and their recommended vendors. We are now in the stage of showing around wedding pictures, and always I start the story, ""We had the BEST day"". One of the first reactions we get is, ""Where is this? It's beautiful."" The Chism House is beautiful. But so much more went into them making it the best day. Thank you for all of it! more

Happy & Beautiful Memories 11/10/2010

Our daughter's wedding this summer was so AMAZING at The Chism House!!! From the first moment I saw the place and then met with the owners and then with the coordinator, my daughter and I KNEW there was NO other place we wanted to have her wedding. Everyone can see that the place is out of this world beautiful (in spite of one side next to a trailer park which is hidden by trees anyway), but what everyone doesn't know is The Chism House owners and staff are what puts that place over the top!! Everyone is soooo nice, and soooo helpful, and of course extremely professional - it was a joy working with them and also the preferred vendors!! I can't say enough about the preferred floral vendor, April at Candlelight and Roses. Her work will blow ANYONE away. I have and will continue to recommend her and The Chism House to everyone I possibly can, now and in the future!!! The Chism House has given a LOT of people a lifetime of happy and beautiful memories! more

IT WAS AMAZING!!! 11/4/2010

IT WAS AMAZING!!! Everything went perfectly smooth. My parents were impressed how well arranged everything was, what a beautiful place it was and said definitely worth every penny! The guests were awe-struck and had a wonderful time. The staff was exceptional, above and beyond what we imagined! We would highly recommend this venue to any couple! more

Thankful to Chism House 11/1/2010

Beautiful place run by intelligent caring people who went above and beyond the ""job"" of helping to create the most beautiful moment of my daughter's life. Her weddding was a few months ago and it went off without a single flaw... more

BEST OF RENO!!! 10/27/2010

We were married there this summer, just noticed they were voted ""Best of Reno"". And for good reason! The property is beautiful and well kept. All our guests commented on how comfortable they felt and what a great location for an outdoor wedding. more

If they could just fix the trailer park view! 9/25/2010

When looking for wedding venues, I did a search online. I saw the Chism house and thought it would be great for my smaller (50 people) wedding. I liked all of the pics online and went to check it out. The house itself is just as shown. It was perfect for what we wanted. The bridal suite was great, the kitchen perfect for our caterer that we wanted to bring in. The grounds, although could be better kept would still be fine and enough room for the kids to run around and play. The downfall and the dealbreaker was the view of the trailer park!!! I was like, who wants this in their wedding pictures or even visible by guests. If they could maybe have some taller trees brought in along the gateline so that the horrible view of the nasty old trailer park could be covered I am POSITIVE that their business would increase. It was just something I could not even think about...my wedding guests looking out over a trailer park. NO WAY. I hope they invest some money in bringing in trees or something to block the view of the trailers. That was the one reason that we decided against it. We just could not bear the view for our guests or possibly showing up in our wedding pics. We decided on another place that was considerably more expensive, but the view was not of a nasty trailer park. more

Just all around great! 7/30/2010

We had our wedding here. This was the first venue we looked at and as soon as we walked onto the property we knew this was the place for us. We were looking for a venue with history and character. The Chism House has it all. There is so much included, tables, chairs and even a staff coordinator. (She was fabulous!) No decorations really even needed, the well maintained grounds are beautiful with with flowers, trees and pond. Inside the house is charming with antiques. They provide a vendor list that we used and were happy with everyone for our day! Pros: Beautiful grounds and pond more

Pleased with Chism House 7/28/2010

We were so pleased with our selection of the Chism House. This venue exudes a vintage warmth that can be rarely replicated. Aside from the venue itself the staff is utterly perfect! April, the venue coordinator could not be more helpful and accommodating. She took care of all the details and went out of her way to make sure our dreams came true. The waterfall and fountain made the perfect background for saying our vows. The grounds at sunset took our breaths away! Our guests cannot stop talking about the incredible location and the staff. It was a perfect day and we know the Chism House and its staff were a huge part of making it so wonderful. I highly recommend the venue and all the services they recommend to you. more

candle light and Roses 7/27/2010

I can't imagine you really going through the experience you described with candle light & roses. I met with their staff before my wedding and could not have been happier with the results. April and her staff spent a lot of time with me discussing decorations, flowers etc. They helped me verbalize my vision, and put it to life. They have been so hepful with all my wedding needs...caterers, decor, vendors.... Pros: excellent customer service, honest and caring staff more

Location vs. Staff 6/3/2010

Great November Wedding! 5/9/2009

We had our wedding at The Chism House last November, we were so impressed with everything they had to offer and will advise everyone we know wanting a Reno wedding to have their wedding there. We so appreciate the help we got from the staff, they made everything quite effortless and easy. We found The Chism House has such a warm, homey, comfortable yet simple elegance about it. Everyone in attendance was impressed as well. The minister provided us with a simply beautiful ceremony. The words truly touched us and made for a truly ""dreamy"" ceremony that we will always remember so fondly. Pros: Warm Comfy Elegance more

Charming and Romantic Wedding 1/6/2009

The Chism House did such a lovely job with our wedding. All too often websites cast their establishment in the best possible light, and in reality you are dissapointed. The Chism House was just the opposite. I was pleasantly surprised at how charming, intimate and personal the setting was. They made us feel as if we were the only couple that had been married there. more

DON'T GO TO THE CHISM HOUSE 12/2/2008

My sister was scheduled to get married at the Chism House in Reno, NV. We are from the tri-cities, and everything about the online description and correspondance with the staff at Chism house seemed Legit. However, 2 days before her wedding she went to the house to check it out, and the place was a dump! it was in the middle of a trailer park, the ""pond"" in the front yard was a mess, there was a basketball hoop in the driveway, and they had broken lawn furniture on the porch! more
