Altamont Manor

f our guests couldn't stop commenting on the natural beauty of the place. We had our ceremony in the garden, and the beautiful setting made the special moment even more memorable. Harvey was amazing and invaluable every step of the way: giving me guidance on what to consider in planning for the day, and on the wedding day, coordinating the many details and calmly problem solving when little things went awry (ie. finding a solution when our unity candles wouldn't stay lit because of the wind or printing out our officiant's script after she forgot it at the hotel). My husband and I planned our wedding in 3 months, and we, our families, our guests were completely happy and thrilled with how our wedding went! I truly don't think we could have pulled it off without Harvey and Altamont Manor.

was the perfect background. It was a beautiful sunny day with a cool breeze and blooming flowers. I couldn't have asked for more. He and his wife were awesome as far as organizing pictures before and after the ceremony. Inside was just as perfect. The art deco bar was a nice touch. The reception area was perfect- everyone had enough space and could see everything that was happening on the dance floor (we had about 130/140 people). I really can't say enough about it. People are still calling us to tell us how beautiful and amazing it was. Harvey is especially awesome and am I so grateful I found the Altamont Manor. If you are looking for a venue with a hands on /experienced/thoughtful owner, a beautiful outside space, a spaciousreception, and an experienced photographer- look no further!!! Harvey coordinated with our vendors- turf tavern, felthousen flowers, jnl visuals (videographer) and perfect blend bakery. They've worked with turf tavern and the florists before so it was like working with a well oiled machine. Even with our other vendors everything went smoothly. I did not have one worry about our day. It was stress free, beautiful, and everything I wanted.

en to our unique ideas. We planned our wedding while living in another state, but Harvey always accommodated our phone calls, and helped keep our planning on track. Our July wedding was absolute perfection. Harvey helped to coordinate throughout the entire planning process, helping to bring our visions to life. The manicured gardens and Victorian mansion served as perfect backdrops as Harvey and Donna captured the most magnificent photos of our special day Our Rehearsal was quick, useful and fun. Our wedding ceremony was wonderful, and the reception was great! We found Altamont Manor to be a perfect fit for our wedding with just under 75 guests. The Victorian style and beautifully manicured gardens made for absolutely stunning photos. Harvey and Donna were our photographers, and their attention to detail made for fantastic photos, posed and candid alike. Our guests raved about their experiences and we cannot say enough about our choice to hold our wedding ceremony and reception here. We found it suited our style, our budget, and most importantly, our (high) expectations. The reviews really are as they seem and I am thrilled to recommend Altamont Manor to others.

I figured there was no way that one person could be so accommodating and professional and for such an amazing price. Harvey not only proved the reviews right, he proved me wrong. He IS that person. From the very first day that Steven and I visited the Manor he was my wedding guru. We had a longer than average engagement and he was attentive each and every time I contacted him with questions. He challenged my ideas and made them better. He made sure I knew the pros and cons of every decision and he knew my wedding in & out, as if he planned my wedding himself. And that was all before the wedding weekend. The night of the rehearsal Harvey orchestrated everything – he made sure everyone knew where they needed to be and when they needed to move. He instilled confidence in us that our day was going to be perfect. He was right. I have heard from many guests that our wedding was the most beautiful they’ve ever been to – and that was thanks to the Altamont Manor. The venue is so beautifully simple and ornate. The leaves were falling all around us as we said our vows like God himself was in attendance. And all the way up at the top of the house, Harvey was snapping a photo of the entire ceremony in progress. He provided that shot, one that nobody else could’ve gotten, free of charge the day after the wedding. I could not recommend this venue any more highly. For any budget – if you want a fairytale wedding, choose Harvey and the Altamont Manor.

th planning every step of the way and not only makes himself easily available for questions and concerns from day one but makes sure to contact you to go over every detail, provide you with the list of things still needing to be done, and giving you suggestions and recommendations on how best to do them. If you book here you definitely do not need a separate wedding planner because he can steer you in whatever direction you want or need to go. Harvey made sure everything ran so smoothly, I cannot thank him enough. He and Donna had a blast shooting our wedding photos, and Harvey is so on top of everything that I don't think it was possible for the photos to be any quicker and more efficient leaving us as much time as we could get to enjoy our wedding and see guests!

gh the entire process and made our day seamless. We were fortunate to have a perfect fall day and were able to have the ceremony in the BEAUTIFUL garden, it was spectacular! Harvey and his wife take great pride in their home and grounds and their hospitality is limitless. If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing! We can't recommend Altamont Manor enough. Wish we could give it 10 stars!

He also did the photography which I believed was handle beautifully by both him and his co-photographer his wife.

lanning process. Altamont Manor was the second appointment, and after seeing it and meeting Harvey, the owner, we cancelled our remaining appointments. We knew immediately it was the right place. It is beyond beautiful there. The upkeep of the lawn and gardens is immaculate. Harvey actually lives there, and you can tell he takes great pride in the appearance of the property. It is absolutely breathtaking. The garden, the fountain, the view, the house, the wrap-around porch, the overall character; all amazing! All I can say for the actual venue is, it's a must-see and I definitely recommend checking it out during you're venue-hunt. Harvey was amazing to work with. I am a total type-A control freak. I always carry a notepad with me for to-do lists, and a planner as well. I can't help it, it's just how I am- super organized, etc. My friends were joking that Harvey is just like me in a separate body. He was just as on top of my wedding as I was- maybe even moreso. I hardly every had any questions to ask him, or concerns to address with him, because he had always thought of them beofre I did and we had already discussed it. I can't recommend Harvey more; he is THE person you want in charge of your wedding. He will take control of all the details and make sure everything goes smoothly. Even I, the control freak that I am, felt comfortable enough with him to let him take over and run the show. And I'm so glad I did, because I ended up having an almost stress-free engagement (none of the stress was due to the venue or any of the other vendors he was coordinating with). I was able to relax knowing he was in charge, and just show up and walk into my perfect wedding at a beautiful venue! What could be better? I highly recommend Harvey and the Altamont Manor. Go see for yourself and you will understand what I mean!
