Choosing Valentine's Mansion as the venue for our wedding turned out to be a splendid decision. The historic charm of the building added a timeless elegance to our special day. The registrars who conducted the ceremony were not only professional but also remarkably friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for us and our guests. The combination of the beautiful venue and the amiable registrars made our wedding a truly memorable and magical experience.

Nice spot to visit some local history. It is somewhat more engaging compared to some other places of this type as you can interact with a lot of the artifacts that are kept there. There are some interesting rooms to explore and are accessible too. Not open on many days in the week, just twice in fact, but they do seem to hold regular events. I still would’ve liked to read more about the Valentines’ impact on a more national and global level and the impact on both the local and global community.
