Mallinson Vineyard and Hall

We have used this facility for two events now, a vow renewal for my husband and I (February 2016), and for our daughter's wedding/reception (December 2016). I cannot give enough positive accolades to Mallinson Vineyard for ensuring both events were nothing short of amazing. From planning our intimate vow renewal, to our daughter's large wedding/reception with 140 guests, the staff was prompt and attentive from the planning stages to executing the "big day". I strongly encourage using their in-house caterer, they offer a wide variety menu to accommodate any palate; from full plate meals to hors d'oeuvres. And when the weather gets nice and you're looking for the tasting room with smoked pizza, this should be your destination! They are equipped to handle your group wine tasting, too. From a wine tasting to your large event, Mallinson Vineyard and Hall is your location.

Great little place to get away from the city without having to drive forever. Owner is super nice and will sit and share conversations and knowledge with you. Would be a great place to hold an event!!

I reached out to Mallinson about a wedding that we are planning for next year. My fiance and I are trying to squeeze in venues since we live out of town and only have a small time frame to select our wedding location. At first, Mallinson was very responsive and provided a ton of information. I had some follow up questions - very simple, like when they were available for a showing and if they allowed liquor, not just wine. My final question was if they accommodated gay weddings. I try not to jump to conclusions but after that email, I've heard radio silence. I've followed up multiple times with no response. Obviously it could be about the fact that we are a gay couple trying to get married - in which case, it's the 21st century and get over yourself. I honestly don't even care if you are against this, just please have the courtesy to give us a no. If it's not the above situation, then this place still has horrible customer service which is just as bad.

I am an event planner in the KC area and I love working out at the Winery. Beautiful location and perfect spot for a wedding

I recently had my own wedding at Mallinson! The owners are incredibly good people who were incredibly easy to work with. The venue itself is gorgeous and my wedding photos are all so beautiful thanks in part to this well-kept, beautiful place. In negotiating, I never felt "pushed" into a sale or into paying for any extra things that I didn't necessarily want or need. I wouldn't have rather had my wedding anywhere else, and would definitely recommend this venue for any event!

If you want your family and guests to be treated the way guests at a wedding should be, this is not the place for you. I witnessed the "event coordinator" represent the establishment in the worst way possible by yelling at the bride's grandmother only because she was trying to go to the basement where food and drinks were actually being served. It was so bad, my husband had to step in and help the woman. I honestly had no idea who she even was and was astounded to find that she was the event coordinator for the wedding. I've seen better customer service skills from someone in a fast food drive through. They promised patio heaters as it was a late fall outdoor wedding and reception and they failed to provide them. It was 45 degrees outside. The bride also purchased the beer and wine package and the bartenders were charging guests for those drinks! I am all about supporting local businesses, but please understand that this venue's owner promised the bride many things that 1) she paid for and didn't receive and 2) a refund because the service was so bad. She has not received ANY of those promised

We attended a wedding at Mallinson in October. The wedding coordinator, Michelle, was the rudest person I've ever encountered (Michelle unfortunately replaced Melissa). She was so rude to the brides 90 year old grandma a guest had to step in, and she grabbed a guest's child by the arm and swung him around so hard the mother had to step in. She made the entire weekend hard for the bride and groom, didn't abide by the contract, and all around made it miserable for everyone involved and the guests. Guests were charged for the beer and wine, which were supposed to be included, and then the coordinator still handed the bride a bar tab. We contacted the owner, Matt, regarding this, and all he was worried about was bad reviews being left, not making things right. In fact, the contract states the bride will get her deposit back within 30 days and has kept contacting the owner with zero response, so he is in breach of contract. Not only did he breach the contract regarding the deposit, but breached many aspects of it during the wedding weekend, and was so unprofessional he didn't even show up for the rehearsal. Matt, Michelle, and Mallinson will either take this review down like they did the others, or say this is inaccurate, but if you're considering having a wedding there I would highly encourage you to reach out to me. We have the texts, emails, and contracts to prove all. Don't put yourself, your wedding party, or your guests through this!

I would give zero stats if that was a possibility. Hi Matt, Thank you so much for the opportunity to host our wedding at your venue. You truly have breathtaking grounds that were the perfect backdrop to the vision we had for our big day. When we met with you for our tour of the vineyard over a year ago we fell in love with you and the vineyard. As you know, we originally planned on just purchasing the Saturday one day package. When talking with you that evening, you sold us on the easy, convenient, stress-free, peace of mind experience the all inclusive weekend package could offer us. From getting access at 9am on Friday and having all day to set up, not putting my friends and family to work after the rehearsal, to not needing to rush to clean up after our event because we had access to Sunday at 3pm. We left that evening after spending nearly 2 hours with you knowing that we were making the right decision to host our wedding at Mallinson and truly felt we were making the right decision. Then, the following week, my best friend and mother came with me to meet with Melissa to sign my contract and they too felt we found a true hidden gem in the wedding venue world. Melissa was amazing, kind, and responsive to call my questions. Even when I was bringing other close friends to the winery for events being hosted just so they could see the beauty that you have there, Melissa would answer my questions and was always more than helpful and responsive.I would like to recap my experience with Michelle so that you are aware of how I was treated and hopefully it will prevent any future brides from the same awful experience I had. My first interaction with Michelle was August 22nd upon receiving an email from her threatening to cancel my wedding if she did not hear from me in 36 hours. She had previously emailed me on August 17th and it went to spam. She did not attempt to call/text me when the first email went unanswered, just received a threat to cancel my event. As you can probably imagine, this put a really bitter taste in my mouth as I was not even made aware that Melissa was no longer with Mallinson Vineyard. After playing phone tag and getting schedules to match up on September 24th, Michelle, myself and my mother were able to meet and discuss my wedding. During this meeting, I found out that Michelle had replaced Melissa in MARCH, and the end of August was the first time that I had heard from Michelle, and again, it was a threat to cancel my wedding. During this meeting there were several issues that arose and Michelle was simply unwilling to accommodate things that I had been promised which had ultimately led me to book my special day at your venue. The first being that wine slushies would not be available to my guests. During my contract signing meeting with Melissa I was told I could exchange some of the wine bottles for wine slushies for my guests. Michelle stated that she could not honor that. My mother knew I was upset about that so she attempted to contact Michelle and figure out a solution and Michelle finally offered an exchange of 2.5 slushies for a bottle of wine. I, myself, could have thought of several solutions to this problem, such as offering for me to purchase them at a discounted rate, however that did not happen. Then, I found out from Spencer the issue was that the winery closes at 6 and that the machine is located in the winery. Again, there could have been solutions provided here; either have a bartender cover the winery for a few hours or the machine could have been unplugged and moved down the bar for the evening. I understand that is not "how you do things" (this is a phrase I never wish to hear again thanks to Michelle!), however I was promised something, that I then printed on my invitations to my wedding, and then when I finally met with your new coordinator I was told "no we will not honor that." The next issue that happened in this meeting is that Michelle told me that the package I purchased was now $10,500 and that my purchase price would not include her services even though that is not what I was told from Melissa, as well as, what your website states. The next issue was that Michelle made it very clear that she did not like my timeline and how we wanted our wedding to happen. While not typical, I believe that it worked well and is not completely out of the ordinary. The last issue is, Michelle told me that what I paid as a deposit was not the deposit and that Melissa was not taking the deposit correctly and that I would not be getting a deposit back after the wedding which is absurd since I booked under those conditions. I will give credit where credit is due, Michelle did offer a timeline of how she likes/wants weddings to run, unfortunately, that is the ONLY way she wants to do things! We wanted to be married under the stars which required an evening wedding and obviously did not fit HER vision for MY wedding.

We went there yesterday with a group of 10 people for a wine tasting, and a great afternoon spent on their patio, with bottles of wine, our snacks, their snacks, and a wonderful time learning about their wines and history of the place, after finding out about it on Facebook. Our day there couldn't have been better. The knowledge, friendliness and hospitality of owners, Amy and John, was very much appreciated, and we would definitely go back. And the extra special plus is that we really enjoyed all of their wines!It is a beautiful facility for indoor weddings, outdoor weddings, parties, and their events with live bands. Their B&B will open this year! (By the way, we heard the story about Beth and her bad review, and how demanding and hard to get along with she was. Her story sure didn't match our experience.)

Our son and daughter-in-law had they're wedding there this September 2017, it was a wonderful day, Mallinson Hall was a great place too have a wedding. The owner, the wedding coordinator Noelle and all the staff were excellent. They had everything that we needed. the caterer they recommended did a great job with the food and the set up was beautiful. The wedding was outside which was beautiful and the reception was inside. Could not have been better. Thank you Mallinson for a great day.
