Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
After an 18-month planning journey with coordination challenges, Bohemia Manor Farm delivered an absolutely perfect wedding day. The stunning venue, ex...ceptional food, and flawless execution created a truly magical celebration that exceeded all expectations.
The Venue: Absolutely Stunning ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bohemia Manor Farm is breathtaking. This historic manor features spectacular riverfront views, and during our winter wedding, the property was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The venue accommodates 200+ guests; our group of 110 felt perfectly sized - intimate yet grand.
We rented the property for the entire weekend, including the manor and on-site cottage. This allowed us to host Friday’s rehearsal dinner, Saturday’s ceremony and reception, and Sunday’s brunch for 35 guests - creating a special, familial experience.
Food & Beverage: Outstanding ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The food tasting was fantastic. The venue incorporated every suggestion we made without hesitation. We selected beef tenderloin and halibut with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts - guests are still raving about it. Our signature drink package included premium bar, four wines, and champagne. We added champagne upon arrival, two extra bartenders, extended the evening two hours, and a late-night food truck. Everything was executed flawlessly.
Event Logistics: Perfect ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our outdoor ceremony was gorgeous, dinner in the tented patio area was elegant, and dancing in the ballroom was magical. Every transition was smooth and effortless.
Event Coordination:
Planning: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
Final Coordinator Lisa: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Over 18 months, we worked with five different coordinators. Each transition meant reestablishing our vision and navigating varying communication levels. Some lacked access to previous agreements; others contradicted signed contracts or became unresponsive. The constant changes created unnecessary stress, requiring us to document everything meticulously.
However, Lisa saved everything.
In our final month, Lisa took over and immediately demonstrated exceptional expertise. She contacted us same-evening, confirmed every detail, communicated via text (so convenient!), and executed our vision perfectly. Her warmth and dedication transformed our experience completely, delivering an absolutely flawless wedding day.
Recommendations
What to expect: Stunning venue, excellent facilities, outstanding food, and potential for a perfect wedding day.
What to request: Ask about coordinator continuity and document all agreements in your contract. Request Lisa from the beginning if possible.
Bottom Line: Despite planning challenges due to coordinator transitions, our wedding day was perfect thanks to Lisa’s expertise. We absolutely recommend Bohemia Manor Farm - just advocate for yourself during planning and insist on clear documentation.
If you work with Lisa from the start, you’ll have an excellent experience throughout. She single-handedly restored our confidence and delivered magic.
We wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding day. Bohemia Manor Farm provided the perfect backdrop for the most important day of our lives.
