Brides-To-Be:Your search ends here! From the team, venue, and food, the overall experience is amazing!We originally planned for a 230-person wedding, however, when the pandemic hit full force, we had to cut our guest count to 100 people. Although we ended up moving forward with The Covenant at Murray Mansion, the team was extremely flexible in offering moving our wedding to their sister venue, Upper East, as another option to help accommodate a guest count over 100.The venue is drop-dead-gorgeous with the organ bar, stain glass windows, neutral palate that would go with almost any theme, and a beautiful mansion attached creating so many photo opportunities without having to leave the venue. The food is by far outstanding and better than your typical “catering food”. The culinary team and staff did a great job with the preparation, plating, and serving of the food. Both the serving staff and bartenders were very professional and friendly. The cherry on the top is the day-of coordinator. Having a day- of coordinator is such a stress reliever! I did not have to lift a finger the day of the wedding and all the decorations were set up wonderfully.Words cannot describe the amazing experience my fiancé and I had from start to finish working with Hanni and the team. We had the wedding of our dreams and would recommend them a thousand times over!

Hands down, one of the most stunning wedding venues in the entire Midwest. As I stepped through the doorway of the 140 year old converted mansion, the floorboards gently chirped as if to say hello old friend!. The cheery soft white walls greeted me and the vaulted ceilings stretch to the sky. A picture of perfect elegance.We photographed a styled micro wedding at Murray Mansion and it honestly felt you stepped straight into a page of Martha Stewart wedding magazine. It is so bright and cheery inside, even on the chillest of days. The venue is the perfect split of modern and historic. Its truly the definition of cozy. The are absolutely endless photo opportunities here.The staff is unbelievable. We had the pleasure of working with Hannah Capelli, the Venue Director, as well as many other talented vendors. The staff take immense pride in the venue. Honestly, no detail is overlooked. Every single element of the venue and the services they offer is the absolute highest quality.This venue is a dream on every single level (coming from two someones who have seen a lot of venues over the years!) Whether youre looking at a micro wedding or a full on grand reception - this is your venue.

We had the most amazing wedding at The Covenant! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, the team at The Covenant is without a doubt the most caring, organized, responsive and professional team you can ask for! Special shout out to our coordinators Morgan and Hannah for being so amazing and bringing our dream wedding to life and going above and beyond our expectations. They made the planning process so easy and everything went perfectly the day of. We received so many compliments on the food and were told by many they have never been to a more beautiful venue!

Our daughter booked the Covenant for her wedding - and it was absolutely perfect. I would definitely suggest reserving the entire property, as it was so convenient. The guests had access to the Murray Mansion for cocktails/appetizers after the ceremony and the bridal party utilized the Parish house to get ready for the big day. The dinner served was outstanding. Many guests commented on how attentive and detailed the staff was. Lexie was our wedding coordinator, and she made planning a wedding so easy and stress free. This place is a hidden gem - highly, highly recommend!

We had our wedding here 3 weeks ago and it was perfect! Everybody raved about how excellent the food was, how smooth everything was run, and how much fun they had. Everything was clean, organized and extremely well run. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about hosting or having their wedding here!

I would definitely recommend The Covenant to anyone! Because of COVID we had to switch venues last minute. The Covenant was open for our day and they helped with every little detail last minute. We had to plan our wedding in less than a month and they were just amazing. When it came to our wedding day the handled absolutely everything, so all I had to do was sit back and relax (well try to, I mean it was still my wedding day 😂). I was just so pleased with the service and kindness of everyone there. Plus the venue is GORGEOUS!!

What an amazing team, venue and experience from start to finish!We originally planned for a 250 person wedding in September at The Covenant. In March, the pandemic hit and capacity restrictions in Racine went down to 25 people per gathering. With no clear picture on what Racine restrictions would look like in Fall, my Fiancé and I worked with the team at The Covenant to move our entire wedding and reception to one of their sister venues in Kenosha, where we could have up to 150 people. Everything was switched seamlessly and effortlessly with the help of Hannah, Hanni, and their team. They were so flexible and helpful with switching our venue.After everything was set, the Kenosha civil unrest happened a week before our wedding. Again, with the help of Hannah, Hanni and their team, we switched our venue back to The Covenant with only one week until our event. At no point in the whole process did we ever feel that our wedding was not in good hands. With everything that happened in our planning process, The Covenant’s exceptional team ensured us that everything was going to be perfect for our big day, and it absolutely was perfect!Not only is the venue exquisite, it was a total jaw dropper for our guests! The vaulted ceilings in the main room, paired with the original stained glass windows and refurbished organ bar, made for a perfect backdrop for our wedding day. I also highly recommend renting out Murray Mansion for the day. The bridal suite will impress any bride and is every photographer’s dream! Each room is filled with natural light and has original hardwood floors and fixtures!The service, food, and entire atmosphere at The Covenant is top tier excellence. We had the wedding of our dreams. Everything was beyond perfect and my Fiancé and I were on cloud nine the entire day!

This venue is incredible! Theyve done a fantastic job maintaining the historic charm while incorporating subtle modern elegance. The staff are fabulous, professional and truly care about their guests. The mansion has so many beautiful spaces for cocktail hour, bridal showers, or any event. While the Covenant is a gorgeous wide open space for a larger wedding reception or event. Plus, Culinary Infusion caters the absolute BEST food! This is definitely the venue of choice for your Racine Wedding!!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Covenant at Murray Mansion this November. We booked both the Covenant and the attached Murray Mansion for the wedding, as well as the attached Airbnb for the bridal party, which was incredibly convenient. Everyone we worked with was extremely professional and accommodating, and everything was so well organized. The venue is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing, the service is fantastic, and they really cared about our experience. The head chef even came up to me during the reception/dinner to ask if everything was up to our expectations, which they had exceeded. Even with planning largely from out of state as we no longer live in WI, Hannah Capelli (Erickson), our wedding coordinator, made the entire process so easy for us. The thought of having to plan a wedding seemed so overwhelming, but Hannah was so helpful and amazing to work with; I don’t know how we would’ve done this without her.Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and I cannot recommend the Covenant at Murray Mansion highly enough. We received many compliments from our guests regarding the beauty of the entire venue, the service and excellent food, this is the most beautiful wedding Ive ever been to was heard throughout the evening..If you book the Covenant at Murray Mansion for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

If you’re looking for a venue to get married at stop here!!!! This place is so beautiful. Even without flowers or any decor it’s magical. We used the boutique package which is basically a full wedding cut into 5 hours and it was perfect for us. Hannah and the staff are so helpful and friendly during planning and day of! I want everyone I know to get married here so I can experience this place as a guest:) If you still want wedding vibes but are looking to keep it simple, affordable and intimate - I couldn’t recommend the boutique package here enough. Also, so many beautiful places to take pictures!

What a wonderful location, facility, staff, drink. All the details where handled to perfection by Hannah and her staff. Food was excellent, five stars on salmon and vegetables. The Airbnb which was attached was perfect compliment for my daughters wedding. Very clean, cozy and comfortable. During a difficult time to plan and execute a wedding Hannah and staff made everyone feel safe secure and comfortable. Thanks for making the special day perfect and fun.Steve F.

If you choose to get married at The Covenant at Murray Mansion, you have made the second best decision of your life (the first one being choosing your significant other of course!).Beyond The Covenants obvious beauty & charm, the staff are beyond incredible! I was lucky to meet a variety of staff through some various events hosted by Culinary Infusion, but Hannah was truly the star! She worked with my husband and I from the beginning, and was amazing before/during the pandemic. When we got married 8.8.2020, I felt so calm knowing Hannah would be able to meet our needs and make sure everything ran smoothly.My husband and I got so many compliments on the food, the atmosphere, and all the details in between. Choosing The Covenant means you will have just about everything on-site (food/drink, tables/chairs, and even picturesque places to get ready if you include Murray Mansion or the attached AirBnB). It made planning so easy knowing everything was right there for the big day!The Covenant at Murray Mansion is the perfect choice to celebrate the most important day of your life!

My husband and I just got married at The Covenant. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, let alone planning a wedding during covid. The covenant was so flexible and easy to work with. Our day was so special and everything went smoothly. The staff are so professional. Everyone could not stop raving about the beauty of the venue and the food was delicious as well! We could not be happier with our choice to host our wedding here, and I highly recommend them!!

You know you had a great wedding/party when people still talk about it days and weeks after! We got married 1/10/2020 and although still very fresh, we are still receiving compliments on the beauty of the venue, the high quality food and that it was the best food they have ever had and the service provided by all at the Covenant. I also had zero worries about something going wrong because the staff had everything planned and prepared before we even showed up and when we did arrive I was blown away, the place was beautiful! All of the food is to die for and the kindness and efficiency of all the staff was wonderful even if we did get a little rowdy! I will always recommend The Covenant and Culinary Infusions!

My family, husband, and I were extremely happy with our experience with The Covenant. Our guests were in awe of the Covenant and Murray mansion spaces. We had a total of 250 guests and used the Covenant for the ceremony and reception, and the Mansion for the in between. At no point did we feel crowded. The bride and groom suites upstairs provided enough space and comfort for us to get ready. Prior to the wedding date, Covenant staff met with us as much as we asked and were great to work with. If we had an idea we wanted to execute, they were collaborative and flexible in making that happen to the best of their ability. They also offered suggestions and ideas that we hadnt even thought of. Staff paid great attention to detail and were professional. They completely took care of set up, and were there every step of the way during the day. The food was also hot and tasted great! I cannot recommend The Covenant at Murray Mansion enough!

My husband and I were married at The Covenant at Murray Mansion on May 11, 2019 and it couldnt have been more perfect! While planning, Hanni was always available to answer whatever questions I had and to offer her professional opinion. Actually laying out all details and timeline for our wedding day had us saying, Thats it? The team made it so easy! On the wedding day, we had the entire property and getting ready in the Mansion was extremely convenient and there are so many photo opportunities. Our photographer was in heaven! Not once was I bothered by the staff with questions or issues during set up or the reception, which was such a stress reliever. They took care of set up AND take down of all of our decor! If there were any issues, I didnt know it! Our guests are still raving about all of the food and the attentiveness and efficiency of the waitstaff and bartenders and about what a unique and gorgeous venue it is! Our day couldnt have gone more smoothly and that is all thanks to Hanni, Lexie, Hannah, and the rest of the staff. We are so happy we chose The Covenant at Murray Mansion for one of the most important and special days of our lives!

Attended a gorgeous winter wedding here. Absolutely stunning building -- warm and inviting, perfectly decorated. Amazing delicious food and service. Spacious. Nice that everything was all in one building -- ceremony, reception & drinks, dinner, and dance. The salmon was delicious (still craving their mashed potatoes). All the food thru the whole event was wonderful.

My husband and I were married at The Covenant at Murray Mansion this year on May 18, and we cannot say enough about how perfect the day was and how beautiful the venue is. Our coordinator Hannah was amazingly helpful throughout the entire planning process. She checked in with us regularly, helped make sure we were on track with planning, guided us as to how to make the day go as smoothly as possible, and made sure that the day was truly what we hoped for. Hannah and all of the staff at The Covenant worked hard to make sure our entire day was perfect. We didnt have to worry about a single detail on our wedding day. We received so many compliments from our guests about the beauty of the venue, the amazing food, and the talented and professional staff. We are so thankful to everyone at The Covenant. They go above and beyond to make your wedding beautiful. We cannot thank everyone at The Covenant enough for all they do!

This venue speaks for itself. It is absolutely incredible. Culinary Infusion has done an amazing job restoring the home and church to even better than its original glory! Hanni and Hannah, and their entire team, was so helpful in planning and executing our wedding. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The food was amazing, bartenders were great, and there is so much you can do with the space. Highly recommend this and I am so lucky to have gotten married here!

I had my wedding at the Covenant on May 25 of this year and could not have been more pleased with our experience. Hanni was absolutely amazing to work with and made planning a breeze. The venue was a perfect choice. We received so many compliments on the beauty of the location and tastiness of the food. We dont have a single complaint for this venue and would strongly recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful, historic and convenient location in the Racine area!

Hosting our wedding reception at The Covenant was BY FAR the best decision of our entire day. Leading up to the big day the staff at The Covenant guided us through every step & provided helpful ideas to execute the day perfectly. Not only is the venue gorgeous, food phenomenal, and staff incredibly professional but booking at The Covenant also means having an onsite coordinator who makes sure every part of the day runs smoothly. It was truly the most stress free wedding day I could’ve ever imagined and we owe that all to Hanni and the staff at The Covenant. 10/10 would recommend every couple book their day with The Covenant. It was truly THE BEST day!

Wedding date 11/23/2019.Beautiful and classic venue, professional and welcoming staff. Great food to top it off, with fantastic communication by the head chef before and during the reception. :They really cared about our experience.Hannah Erickson Capelli was our wedding coordinator (I am the mother of the bride). I dont know what we would have done without her ideas, experience, and professionalism. I couldnt have handled this on my own...at all.The Covenant at Murray Mansion is worth investing in for a beautiful, memorable, and stress-free wedding experience.

My husband and I got married at the Covenant on 7/18/2020. We absolutely loved working with the staff (mostly Hannah) from the time we contacted them to the day of the wedding. Hannah was so easy to work with, responded to my many emails quickly and with all the information I could ever want, and was so helpful through the process - even in the midst of Covid-19, we were never worried about the day. She gave us options we could choose from when our event had to be downsized and made it so easy to switch our plans. The venue is so beautiful (we booked the whole property, and we had the AirBnB for bridesmaids the night before, and family the night after). We loved being able to walk through the whole area (including the AirBnB) without having to go outside the morning of, and it was so nice to have no travel between getting ready, pictures, ceremony, and the reception. There were so many spots for photo/video shots inside and outside, which was perfect for changing weather (and we were so happy to have air conditioning). The food was AMAZING and all the staff were so nice and made sure my husband and I got to eat on our busy day. The setup of the venue, all the included extras, and the staff (especially Hannah) made our day and the months leading up to it the most relaxing & beautiful day!

The Covenant was absolutely incredible to work with. Something in particular that I found to be really impressive was how whenever we had a question about something Hanni or Hannah made sure to find an answer for us. I also thought the day of my wedding the entire staff was so kind to me and my entire family and made sure everything ran smoothly. In regards to feedback from the guest, I had people say it was amazing how when dinner was served the staff was so uniformed and professional in regards to passing the food out. I also received comments on how the food was hot, delicious, and served in a timely manner. One thing my parents and family GREATLY appreciated was at the end of the night the staff helped put away ALL of our personal decorations, gathered up all the gifts, and helped my family get them into the cars. My mom said she was incredibly exhausted and to have the staff help them with that was SO amazing. Also, there venue is a photographers dream. Every room is so beautiful and I cannot wait to see what my pictures look like. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this venue! VERY SATISIFED!

This is a vendor-to-vendor review: The Covenant at Murray Mansion is not only absolutely stunning in every way, but their staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating, and helpful. As a florist, its common to deliver to venues where stress levels are high, staff are running every which way trying to prep and organize, and people can be a little less than friendly - leaving us to have to navigate our delivery and installations on our own. Or worse: leave our flowers in the hands of a vendor who may not care as much about the florals as you (or we) do. At Murray Mansion, however, we experienced the exact opposite! Abby, Kacey, and Keith were warm and welcoming, and ready to help at a moments notice. For brides / grooms who are considering Murray Mansion: this is an important characteristic for you to keep in mind, as you will want all of your wedding vendors to cooperate with one another, to assure the plans you took so long to make fall perfect in place on your big day! From our interactions at Murray Mansion, it seems youd be in great hands.

My now husband and I got married at the Covenant at Murray Mansion on October 12, 2019. I cant even begin to explain how amazing this venue was to work with. We had booked the venue with January 2018 when we got engaged and they were great with everything for the whole year and half I was able to work with them. First off, the food. Oh my goodness the food is to die for. Not only did my husband and I enjoy ourselves at the tasting for the wedding but all of our guests could not stop complimenting it. The Covenant is so beautiful and they made us feel so special. The staff even came around and served us our cocktail hour hors doeuvres as we were taking our photos while our guests enjoyed the cocktail hours. I worked with a catering company that traveled to many different venues and I have never experienced anything like I did here. Thank you so much to Hanni and your team at the Covenant for making our wedding day flawless and amazing. We absolutely would choose to have our day here over and over again.

I cannot recommend The Covenant enough; the venue is stunning, the food is great and the team is amazing!The venue itself is so spacious and gorgeous! As you walk through the venue it just keeps going and behind every door and corner is something more beautiful then the previous. The colors are nuetral and elegant so no matter what your style or color scheme the venue is a perfect backdrop. We got married in the winter so not many options to go outside but the interior was plenty of space for us and our ~140 guests. Numerous guests came up to us and said how gorgeous the space was and how our wedding was one of the prettiest theyve been to (I might be bias but I obv agreed with them too!) I highly recommend renting the entire venue to get access to the bridal suite; my bridal party and I got ready there and it was perfect for pictures and plenty of space for us all to get ready for the big day! I also recommend renting the attached AirBnb The Parish House if its available. My bridesmaids and I stayed there the night before and it was so convenient!The staff is also amazing, we worked with Hannah during planning and then worked with Hannah and Lexi the day of. Hannah really helped me with all the details and answered my millions of questions (you never truly realize how many details are involved in a wedding until you plan your own). She was so sweet and truly made my vision come to life, I fully trusted that she would make things look perfect (and she did!). Both Hannah and Lexi took such great care of us, they really make you feel like family. It was so comforting to have such a great staff that I trusted and are just nice good hearted people!The food was also great! We did the wedding package which was a great option; it made the planning process really easy and offered a variety of options to pick from. Appetizers, Food, Linens, Uplighting - worth every penny! I loved all the food but the cocktail hour appetizers were my favorite! The chicken and waffles and the pulled pork cornbreads were amazing!This place is just a dream! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

We had both our ceremony and reception there - even rented the onsite Airbnb for the bridesmaids to stay the night which made for a fun bridal party experience! The food was delicious, our guests said it was the best wedding food ever. They said they felt like they were out to eat at a nice restaurant! The staff was friendly and accommodating. The drinks were delish! Of course the venue was beautiful and perfect for our day. Thank you Hanni and crew! - Love, The Renzonis!
