We were very unsure about what all the catering process entailed, and he very patiently talked us through all of the steps. Our tasting at the Farmington Manor office was phenomenal!! The food was great, and they left us alone to decide what we really liked. Even when we liked a meat but decided against a certain sauce, he immediately went to the chef and got recommendations for other options we could pick. We decided on a wedding reception venue that allowed us to bring in decor and our own alcohol. Roy and his team were so helpful in setting up our linens, centerpieces, and of course an awesome bar. I took a picture of what I expected for the centerpieces, sent it to him via email, and all of them were recreated wonderfully. He even met us on site a couple weeks before the event to review our menu and table set-up. Seriously they went above and beyond in helping our event to be well-organized and well-decorated. The food was delicious!! Our guests raved about it after the event and no one went home hungry! Then, at the end of the night, they took care of ALL the clean up and even carefully packed up our centerpieces and alcohol for easy transport. I can't recommend Roy and his team highly enough!!! You won't be disappointed working with The Farmington Manor!

I was recently a guest at Farmington Hills Manor for a youth sports banquet and was very…read moredisappointed in the service we received. Although the facility was beautiful and spacious, the staff were less than friendly and the portions for the amount charged were terrible. Our youth attendees received chicken tenders and fries, it was 2 tenders and a handful of fries, approximately 10-12 fries. Our adults received a small chicken cutlet, half of a potato sliced, and for vegetables 5 string beans and two baby carrots. The vegetarian plate was one potato's quartered and a handful of veggies. To my dismay, when the owner was told about the dissatisfaction with the portion sizes, he was extremely rude, disrespectful, and dismissive. I would not recommend doing business with Farmington Hills Manor.

The staff is friendly, professional and helpful as they want your event to be a success.

Prices are more than reasonable and deposits are promptly refunded. One of our "goto" venues for showers.

There was a huge beer tent set up with a band and a few other tents for whiskey tasting and Irish dancing. We walked around to shop a little and enjoyed some food. Of course we had to try a burger, but the cornbeef sandwiches looked delicious. We had a great time and look forward to returning possibly next year.

You don't have to look nowhere else. I can not thank enough everyone at the Lincoln Manor they are all very professional, Sam, Mukhtar and of course the chef Moh made sure that everything was ready to go for my wedding. When I tell you their professionalism is to the TOP and the BEST that you'll find anywhere around the area. I wish I could give them way more than 5 starts, they really deserve everything in the world.

I hadn't been here in several years and was surprised with the changes. Went to this establishment for an event. The chairs were stained/dirty and service was extremely slow and the wait staff was very unfriendly. Bathroom was low on soap and for sure ran out by the end of the night. When the food was finally served it didn't taste good or fresh. Despite it being cold outside, there were flies/gnats flying around inside. I wish I would have taken a picture but when I left there appeared to be a roach crawling in the wall in the foyer. I was just ready to get out of there and left as quickly as possible. For some reason the entrance door has reflective tint on the INSIDE and when you're leaving you can't see if anyone is on the other side! Not very smart I'm sure that people have gotten smacked by the door because you can't see if someone is trying to come in while you're exiting. To top it all off they had some sort of HVAC issue that caused the fan on the roof to make a loud noise the entire night. I've been to several of these type of establishments over the years and this one by far is the worst. They've done some updates to make it visually look better but it's clear that it's a distraction from larger issues. If you don't care about cleanliness, fast service and pleasant wait staff - this is your place. If all of those things mentioned above matter to you, look elsewhere.

I wanted a wedding that felt like it was in someone's home and the Longacre House worked perfectly. All my guests (some of whom are not easily impressed) asked me where I found it and the venue managed to please our friends from high school, best friends from college, future in-laws, grandparents, grad students, and all the other wonderful weirdos we invited. We had 101 guests (130 is the max for this venue) and that was a manageable number. The grounds are gorgeous. We had the ceremony outside and the reception inside and that worked really well because it let us make the most of our evening without added travel time and logistics. Missy, our coordinator, communicated with me throughout the planning process (and I had a loooooong engagement and a lot of questions). The staff was professional and kind and they seem to enjoy their work.They met our every need and Missy didn't miss a thing. The food was delicious! And you know what, I had low expectations for the food because I figured when you're trying to feed that many people, keep it simple and as long as it's okay, people will eat. And, the venue was so pretty, I felt like I would have dealt with whatever the food might be like. But this food was really good! I was so relieved! They also have fairly frequent tasting events where, if you are planning an event there, you can go check out the food ahead of time, but since we were planning from out of state, we just had to cross our fingers. Thank goodness it turned out better than I could have hoped! I could keep going - charming library where we put the bar, good recommendations for other vendors, big enough to hold a crowd without feeling sterile, so many little touches - it was just perfect. Wouldn't change a thing.

The Longacre House in Farmington Hills, Michigan is a registered local historic site. A sign is…read moreposted outside that reads: "Luman W. Goodenough (1873-1947), prominent Detroit Attorney, charter member and first president of the Detroit Rotary Club, acquired this building and land surrounding it in 1915, naming it the Longacre House. The earliest portion was erected in 1869 by Palmer Sherman. The twentieth century saw several additions here including the impressive six-foot high stone wall constructed in 1917 along the east property line. In 1969, Goodenough heirs gave this handsome Georgian manor home and five acres of land to the Farmington area to be used as a community center. This facility hosts conferences and club meetings, numerous weddings and receptions, and recreation courses in crafts and the arts. Local citizens are proud of the Longacre House, which is an area landmark." I attended my fiancee's good friend's pellikoduku at the Longacre House. (A pellikoduku is a traditional Indian pre-wedding ceremony for the groom.) This house is located about 25 miles from downtown Detroit. It takes a little over 30 minutes to get to the house from downtown Detroit without any traffic. The house is owned and operated by the City of Farmington Hills. This is a beautiful historic brick home that's been well-maintained, inside and out. The outside is picturesque with finely-manicured lawns and nicely-landscaped grounds. I made sure to get a picture with my fiancee in front of the house where there is a nice brick pathway and colorful plants and flowers. The event took place inside what I believe is the Longacre House's main event space. It looks like a living room (with fireplace) that has been converted and combined with perhaps a back porch or patio area to serve as an open event space. There were five round white tablecloth tables set up with place settings (each table seating 12 people) along with buffet-style catered food and drink. The event space had a drink and dessert station while the salad, entrees, and sides were set up in a separate room nearby. The house was simple with minimal decor - nice chandeliers, curtains, and hardwood floors. There's a small garden and gazebo outside. I believe dinner catering was provided by Longacre House's in-house catering group, Gourmet Express Catering & Event Planning Group based out of South Lyon, Michigan. We had glasses of a fruit drink with slices of strawberry, purple grapes, and Mandarin oranges. Dinner consisted of spinach salad with croutons, an herb rice risotto, asparagus, lasagna, and a potato dish with vegetables cooked-in such as chopped carrots and squash. There was a coffee and dessert station with both regular and decaf coffee plus assorted dessert bites including what looked like brownie squares and baklava. In general, I thought the food was good. I love greens and vegetables so I got seconds on the spinach and asparagus. This was a fairly straightforward event. Aside from dinner, there was a pre-dinner gathering, sort of like a cocktail hour, where people mixed and mingled. After dinner, the actual pellikoduku activities commenced. There was also a mehndi (Indian body art) artist who applied red-orange mehndi "stains" to many of the female guests. Longacre House staff were present, but they were fairly hands-off as the food and drink were self-serve. They mainly made sure the food and drink stations were in order, replenished as needed, and cleared finished dinner plates. They were professionally (formally) dressed, polite, and did a good job throughout the night. If you get a chance to check out other rooms of the house or take a look around outside at the grounds, you should. It's a neat place to explore. There's plenty of parking too which is convenient for guests.

The event was totally sold out, and packed to the max. The main floor was filled with big, round tables. They had a few options for food like a cheese & fruit platter & chicken tenders. There was wine, beer & soda available as well. The service was pretty good. There is a 2nd floor as well and some people were sitting up there. I think they were the musicians and their family though. The event itself was awesome. I'm not a folk or country music fan, but I love good live music. There was a good variety of music (folk, country, blues, or all of the above). The energy in the room was amazing. This is a charity event that people attend every year. I'm so glad we were invited to attend. The Community House is definitely old & holds a lot of history. I loved the atmosphere & found it to be very intriguing. It definitely needs a lot of TLC, and looks like they're having some serious structural issues. The good news is that they have a plan, and hopefully they'll be able to fulfill the vision for a new Community House. It's clear that the community takes pride in this little landmark.
