The staff was so friendly and accommodating and Michael, the owner came by and was super friendly and it was very nice chatting with him.

Inside was equally as beautiful with this beautiful niche of flowers and beautiful decor And made for more beautiful photos. Highly recommend Limoncello and can't wait to go back!

A sense of soft elegance came over the room. Pat was there for every step, every detail right down to the food. Every guest commented on how wonderful the food was. The appetizers could have been your meal. The entries were beyond delicious, creamy, flavorful and tender. A big shout out to the wait staff Ashley and Dawn who were on their A game. I will be renting this space again. Thank you for helping us to create memories that will last a lifetime.

The atmosphere and the sunset are beautiful for any occasion big or small. I highly recommend! You will not be disappointed.

The maitre'd that led us through our initial tour no longer works at English Manor, but that was no issue whatsoever. Marlyn picked up like she had been with us from the very beginning. EVERY email was answered with ease IN THE MOST TIMELY OF FASHIONs, and all concerns (really more so questions) were addressed. Our details meeting was so thorough and I went into our day feeling completely confident that my vision would come to life. IT DID AND THEN SOME. Again, I truly believe this was all because of Marlyn and Jen. I am Type A, so this was something I was very concerned about. From the minute we set foot on the venue property the morning of our wedding until the minute we left we were absolutely blown away. Marlyn and Jen were just so above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. I would've had Marlyn at my wedding as a guest because I love her so much. I went through my day stress free without any type of professional coordinator (which was shocking for me!). marlyn handled absolutely every single detail and issue that arose. (Again, none of which were her fault lol.) Marlyn walked around with me, carried my bouquet, made sure my phone got to my good friend to snap some photos, made sure I had a drink in my hand every minute I wanted it, and just thought of absolutely everything. She even SCRUBBED the dirt off my dress from the rain so it was perfect. I cannot recommend this stunning venue enough! Although, a team is only as good as their players. so, more importantly, i cannot recommend marlyn enough. Our guests are still raving about the venue, scenery, food, and atmosphere. We are so happy with our choice! And ILY MARLYN, SO MUCH.

The parking lot is a little odd, but the Manor and its gardens are gorgeous. You walk in and you feel like you've entered an old rich relative's home. There is a small sitting room to your right where they have some beverages and fresh fruit out for guests to enjoy. They also decorate the room with pictures of the bride and groom, making it feel even more like a home, rather than a reception hall. The reception was out back so when the bride gives everyone the go-ahead, the guests will heading out the back to the gardens. (They also do indoor ceremonies in the winter and probably if it rains) There's a deck that leads you through some greenery and over a stream to the ceremony area. It's a pretty open space so the sun will beam down quite a bit. Looks great, but it can get a little warm for the guests. After the ceremony is done, the cocktail hour begins immediately, which is great for those of us who hate the long waits in between. There is seating on the deck and some more seating on another one of their lawns. There is also an indoor cocktail hour area for inclimate weather. As for food, they had veggie platters, cheeses, a selection of about 4 hot foods and a stir fry station. There were also servers walking around with a nice variety of hor dourves. Oh yea, and there was a bar with two bartenders that operated quickly enough that there wasn't much waiting around. Next to the reception. The hall isn't huge, but it makes for an intimate event. I feel like this is pretty personal to the couple and vendors, but the reception was very enjoyable. Food was all quite good. Everything was very nice. Overall, the wedding was great. For someone who is planning a wedding myself, I looked at everything as to whether or not I would like it for my wedding and I can say this place is really nice. What impressed me more than anything my surprise you and I swear I'm not an alcoholic, but it was the bartending. One bartender in particular was quite impressive. With about 150 people at the wedding, this bartender remembered your order with ease. I switched my beverage of choice and he kept on top of it the next time I went up. He was very quick and made a good drink. I know it's strange, but that guy was impressive and definitely enhanced the experience. With or without that, I think this is an awesome place to start your search for a reception hall for your wedding!

I can't begin to tell you how wonderful and helpful they all were at the lodge. From start to finish someone was outside checking on us to make sure we were OK. Elaine, who was the front person was everything you could ask for in a hostess. I've been coming on and off to the American Legion for 35 years and I've been selling flowers in the front for Easter and Mother's Day for just as long. Everyone there has always made my family, guests and I feel welcomed. With the added improvements this year the outside was absolutely beautiful overlooking the lake. It's an ideal place for any special occasion in your life. I only wish more people would take the time to investigate how wonderful this location really is again many thanks to all and God bless America.

Couldn't even see where our host or waitress was. I ordered coconut shrimp, Caesar salad and a sirloin steak. The shrimp was good and the only thing that makes this a 2 Star and not 1 Star place. The shrimp camp with some lo mein that was not good. It was oily. Not fresh. Over sauced. The salad was so boring. It was romaine and croutons with dressing. Lastly my steak was in line with everything else. The steak while well cooked had ketchup as a sauce. During the the process the waitress forgot our water, wine, and one of our steaks. It was so delayed we had to take it home as a to go order. I'm not sure what the appeal is of this place. It's uninspired. It's unmotivated. You have better options.
