Lovely wedding venue…read more Nice bed and breakfast on site, as well

This is a beautiful wedding venue to have your ceremony and reception... the chapel is the most…read morebeautiful part for me. My niece had her wedding at this venue on 10.9.2020 and it was wonderful. I even had a chance to chat with the owner about love stories .... I love this place and definitely recommend it to all love birds who want to have a positive experience:)

I'm not a huge fan of weddings; I see them pretty much in the same light as I do funerals and other…read moreobligatory ceremonies. (My attitude? Go to the justice of the peace and save the moolah, kiddies. Half of all marriages here end in the same year they occur in this state, for Pete's sake. Save that hard earned dough for a down payment on a house, else pay off debts. Oy gevalt. I'm a crusty old curmudgeon down to my very core.) That said, the nuptials we attended here were well attended and comparably enjoyable, and the venue was clean and well lighted. Ample parking, too. Everything went well from start to finish, and the reception was, clearly, well organized and nicely staffed by a good crew that knew what it was doing. (Judy was particularly helpful.) Five stars for the type of place I usually avoid. (That's a mouthful for me to say.) Nice.

Excellent venue! A lot of work went into the country charm. The owners are absolutely supportive…read moreand positive. No pressure. Great decoration and they love to capture the spirit of the bride and groom. Decorate yourself if you'd like or they can handle it for you. Tons of places to take some great photos. Definitely recommend this place.

When we booked, the owner required us to sign a form saying we could not leave a negative review. I…read morelater learned those kinds of agreements aren't enforceable under consumer protection laws, and I feel it was an unfair attempt to silence honest feedback. Long story short: the owner was extremely rude throughout the process. She even told one of our guests that if the venue wasn't spotless, we would lose our deposit. We did clean thoroughly and left the place spotless, yet we still had to argue with her--only to get part of our deposit back. Her excuse? Our DJ arrived a little early to set up. Save yourself the headache and book a different venue. Honestly, we would have had a smoother wedding at McDonald's."

Every request was addressed to make the day just right. Every decoration and set up imaginable was available and tweaked to fit our theme, colors, and personalities. The usual concerns of hosting a group and having enough room for food, food prep, seating, visiting, etc. were gone leading to a festive day that far exceeded our expectations; this incredible experience made us realize The Manor would be THE perfect setting for ALL kinds of events. We cannot thank Tammie and The Manor crew enough for their care and attention!

the chapel and reception center was pretty. But, we bought $ 800.00 in food and we got to bring…read morenone of it home! the coridinator was fantastic. we had to buy a case of champagne not a half as we had asked. we payed 355 for the case the security gaurd and bartender...we brought none of what was left- 6 bottles. no one was able to carry any food out with them. my cake was not what i thought it would be and was nothing like the one i had picked out. so I hope that you will consider this as you pay over 3500 on your wedding, and reception. we did get to bring what was left of the cake home... i would very much reconsider this venue

TERRIBLE. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE!!!!! my husband and I booked…read moreI believe March 1st. Talked to whatever lady called us, emailed, they took our money, we settled all the questions and details throughout the month of March. our wedding was to be booked for a 30 minute ceremony, July 31st, 2023, at 2pm. easy peasy right? well we all get there, and keep in mind we have family coming in internationally, so there's some pressure there. we get there and the doors are locked. Not a single person in sight, and 2:30 rolls around we are in hysterics, because WHERE IS MY WEDDING? can't get ahold of anybody, and yes I left a very nasty voicemail. Someone eventually got back to us and firstly said they were closed, so why would you book a wedding if you're closed? wtf? then accused us of never paying, to which we responded with the below picture from our bank account because we did in fact pay, I have the email confirmation as well. they all of a sudden found it "in their system"?they then offered to have someone come out to officiate the wedding in 15 minutes. keep in mind it is over 100 degrees outside, makeup, hair, wedding dress, and I'm absolutely losing my marbles because we got SCAMMED. So DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS VENUE. they will take your money and accuse you of not paying, booking the right time, or saying they aren't even open at all! do not EVEN try to reply to this review because I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED to take this to court. edited to add, they did give us a full refund, doesn't make it any better but I am at least grateful they had the sense to send my money back.
