The Manor house definitely satisfied all of our wedding needs!! We wish we could relive the day all over again. Although we got assigned a different coordinator a few weeks before our wedding date, Allison stepped in and made sure the outcome w...
as perfect and everything was up to our standard. The Manor House is a beautiful place to have a wedding ceremony and reception and an amazing place for pictures!

he value and care we experienced at Manor House. Everyone was just wonderful. We are so GRATEFUL!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Booking Manor House as our ceremony and reception venue was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process. Manor House is extremely gorgeous and is the perfect place to take pictures. My photographer and videograp...
her could not stop gushing about how amazing the property was. However, the beautiful property is not even the best part about Manor House. The entire staff was so organized and helpful. We primarily worked with Shannon (who is absolutely amazing - I am so sad that my wedding is over because I won't be able to work with her anymore) and she was always so kind and willing to answer all of my many questions, especially in the midst of uncertainty regarding COVID-19. She was so kind and was so willing to let us come back 3 times to look at table cloth samples when my mom and I were indecisive - we ended up sampling over 10 table cloths, not including the different napkins we looked at, and Shannon was more than happy to accommodate us and order more samples for us! Manor House took care of anything and everything we needed - they had so many people on staff specifically for my wedding so everything went smoothly and everything was taken care of. I was hesitant to book Manor House at first because they can be on the pricier end, however they do more than any other venue I looked at. I actually believe I would have spent more if I booked a cheaper venue because they don't do as much or provide as much as Manor House. Plus, I had total peace of mind that they would take care of everything leading up to my wedding and during my wedding, which is priceless. On top of all of this, the food is phenomenal and my family and friends didn't have to stay late after my wedding to tear everything down because Manor House does set up and tear down. Manor House is worth every single penny and I recommend them to every single person who is looking for a reception venue. Even my dad, who is frugal and doesn't like spending money, agrees that Manor House was amazing and worth every single penny. You won't regret booking Manor House.
We had our wedding and reception in the Carriage House at Manor House. The wedding day went well and everything was set up by the event staff perfectly. We booked Manor House about 15 months before our wedding. In that time frame, we had 3 wedd...
ing coordinators, as the first two coordinators we had, left their positions. This had me feeling a little panicked as I was worried things would be dropped, but Danielle did a good job keeping on top of things and coordinating with all of our vendors for our wedding day. The food was great and we got lots of compliments from our guests.
We knew and accepted when we signed the contract that we would not be able to take home any leftover food or sliced cake, but this rule still bothers us as it food that we paid for. We know there was a lot of leftover cake that people did not eat, but the event staff sliced the entire cake so we did not get to take any leftovers.
We chose The Manor House for our winter wedding based on location, price, and space availability. What we received was an elegant wedding, great food, professional staff, and an unforgettable experience. Despite dealing with COVID restrictions,...
The Manor House was able to deliver a high quality event and made navigating a pandemic wedding as comfortable as possible. Venue staff put our needs first, and they were extremely attentive and flexible.
Shannon was our venue contact. She was absolutely delightful to work with. Shannon was responsive, polite, and assisted greatly as an industry liaison. She was certainly a major contributor to the success of the event.
We had several unanticipated changes the day before the wedding. The Manor House worked with us to create an outcome better than previously planned. We believe this showcases the venue’s ability to pivot quickly while providing quality service.
Your deposit is their PPP loan. Stay far away. There are businesses WITH integrity far more deserving.
They refuse to refund a deposit for a postponed wedding due to global pandemic, its surge, and my at risk status as a kidney cancer patient....
“... we have made exceptions to navigate the tricky world of COVID. When we were shut down by the state March-May of 2020, we postponed all affected weddings to any new date within the 2020 year. We did not offer refunds during that time, only the option to postpone. Our insurance did not consider the time we were shut down "loss of business" and therefore Manor House received zero compensation during that time. There was also zero assistance provided by the State, with the exception of PPP (allocated towards payroll, not client refunds).”
The expectation that I consider the impact of this pandemic on Manor House and NOT myself, is as misguided as it is imbecilic.
Response from the Vendor on 02/11/2021
This is a very inaccurate review. Mr. Attuquqyetto was scheduled to have his wedding at Manor House on 1/16/21. Manor House was able and willing to hold his wedding/reception on the date of 1/16/21 and we were able to fulfill his contract. I...
nstead the bride & groom decided to cancel the wedding and our contract clearly states that money paid is non refundable. If we were shut down due to cover we would have been happy to let his reschedule for free, but this is not the case. Event centers have been devastated by covid and are just trying to stay in business. We care about all of our clients and only wish them the best.
As a covid bride who has already so much to deal with I have never been more impressed with the level of professional and support from such a great business. I want to thank Shannon for keeping me sane, Matt in the kitchen for the delicious foo...
d, Janet for helping out in our planning and so much more. Our guest not only felt safe with all that is wrong with the world but had an unbelievable experience thanks to all of the amazing staff here. I would not go anywhere else for such an important day. I will always remember this going forward with any of my events. Manor house it the place to be if you are having pandemic bride troubles.
We absolutely loved our wedding at the Manor House!!!
With the COVID-19 pandemic, we spent a couple months unsure of whether or not we were going to be able to have a wedding at all or what a wedding might look like. The Manor House (and espec...
ially Shannon!) were great with keeping us updated with what was going on and how things would look different because of virus precautions. We were one of the first weddings to happen once things started opening up (June 13), and everything was beautiful. I'm so glad that we got to have our dream wedding despite all the uncertainty leading up to it, and the Manor House was instrumental in making our perfect day happen.
We had our ceremony in the atrium and the reception in the crystal ballroom. The staff was friendly, the venue was BEAUTIFUL, and I have heard nothing but positive reviews from our guests. We would highly recommend this venue. We love you Shannon and we love the Manor House!
Manor House is the way to do it for a full service venue, one stop shop with INCREDIBLE food and service. Madison is one of the best people I could have worked with on my wedding and was a true resource and went above and beyond her job descrip...
tion to make my day a dream. I cannot recommend Manor House enough. Thank you for making my wedding day a breeze and covering all the details from start to finish.
As soon as we saw the Carriage House when we toured the Manor House we knew we wanted to get married there. Stunning and rustic with gorgeous wood doors on the outside and wood beams on the ceiling of the inside. The only drawback to the Manor ...
House is that they host other events outside of weddings, so if you get married there you are restricted to certain start and end times for your ceremony and reception. For us, the beauty of the venue and the excellent customer service outweighed this one drawback. Christine Woodrum was the woman who worked with us from the day we booked through our wedding day, and she was awesome. Christine was kind and professional. She answered every question I had promptly, and let me come look at the venue as many times as I wanted throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding you get a bridal hostess that pretty much caters to the Bride and bridesmaid's every need. Ours was Sydney-she was SO sweet and super on top of things. She never lost energy and enthusiasm throughout the long day. The event manager was also there during our ceremony and reception to help make sure everything was going according to the timeline we planned. Any fear I had before our wedding day was eliminated the day of largely because of the attentiveness of the Manor House staff. Thank you Manor House for the best day of our lives.

as running smoothly and she was so on top of things that nothing went wrong for the ceremony or reception. Our wedding was in the Carriage house and everything was beautiful and I would recommend having your event back there because it was more private than the main building ballrooms. The Manor House has so many resources for you it makes the planning even easier. If I could do it all over again I would do it at the Manor House in a heart beat.

my big day, but Shannon, Madison, Morgan and the owners Dave & Janet Nelson were all amazing and helpful! The day of the wedding, I had Olivia as my bridal hostess and Sarah as my Event Manager. They were both on top of it and a great help when ever I needed them. Last but not least, how can I not mention the food!!! The food was AMAZING!! Everyone raved about the food and loved the tuxedo pasta! I highly recommend the Manor House.

The Manor House is the place to have your wedding! We had our ceremony and reception at The Carriage House. Our ceremony was held out back, dinner on the second floor and dancing on the first floor. I was a little concerned about having the dan...
ce floor and tables on separate levels but it worked out perfectly fine! It did not prevent the dance floor from being full the entire night (it helped that they set up a few sitting and cocktail tables in the room as well). The grounds were amazing for taking pictures - our photographer found so many unique areas for different pictures so there was no need to go elsewhere. I know there were other receptions going on that night, but I never saw another bride or wedding party while taking pictures. They are great at timing everything out so you feel like you have the place to yourself. All of the workers are so friendly and helpful and definitely know how to run a wedding! They make the planning process so easy and have endless pieces of advice for any obstacle you come across. The food tasted fantastic and we had many compliments from our guests. There was a delay with the shuttle from the hotel and the workers there were so accommodating and quick to shift the timeline by 15 minutes and communicating it to each vendor without me having to worry about a thing! They know how to make your day go perfectly and smoothly and make the whole planning process stress free. They radiate professionalism and positivity every step of the way.

The Manor House did an excellent job. Christine was a great coordinator! Our wedding went really well-but there were a few things I wish were done differently. However, they're nothing huge..but one was kinda irritating. I bought custom cocktai...
l napkins for the cocktail 30 minutes. I left in my directions for them to be passed out with the food, and the left over to be put at the bar. Turns out, they put a little at the bottom of their Manor House napkins while serving food. So no one got ours, and the napkins were then placed in a corner of the bar. It's disappointing that we spent money on something like that and no guest saw them except maybe a few.
I still recommend the MH though!

I started planning our wedding a year and a half in advance . The Manor House was our first venue visit . After seeing the Manor House I knew we didn’t need to look any further. The carriage house in the back of the building was exactly what I ...
had pictured for our rustic garden wedding. We canceled our visits with the other venues and booked the Manor House the day of our visit. Shannon was who we worked with through the entire process and I could go on and on about how amazing she is. She is so positive and made the entire process easy . Shannon does not stop working. She answered my emails so quickly
Each time even way after open hours. She really takes the time to get to know her clients and made us feel like we were always a top priority . She went above and beyond my expectations. Every staff member at the Manor House the day of the wedding was there to help in any way they could. I am so happy we chose to have our wedding at this wonderful venue . The venue itself is so beautiful there was not much need for spending a lot of money on extra decor. I hope that one day I can return to the Manor House as a guest at someone else’s wedding because I just loved it so much.
Response from the Vendor on 08/29/2019

The venue is beautiful & Christine was the most amazing wedding coordinator I could have every asked for! The venue is however expensive and misc things will cost extra money (chair covers, offering a second meal, folding napkins a certain way)...
so beware but all in all - I would have my wedding here again as it was my dream wedding and the Atrium is the most beautiful room ever! Just knowing beforehand about the hidden costs would have helped me better budget! Very happy with my decision!!!

My husband and I are SO glad we chose to use the Manor House for our wedding. It had everything we hoped for including: one location for ceremony & reception (although there are various locations you can choose to have both throughout the Manor...
House), outdoor/indoor options in case of weather, beautiful architecture and landscaping, excellent location for pictures, professional staff, bridal hostess to help the day of, hotels nearby, and plenty of parking for guests. We had our ceremony in the Carriage House, followed by a cocktail hour, then reception in the Magnolia room. We had plenty of room for all 215 guests. The food was excellent! There is not much wiggle room with creating a timeline (Manor House will allow you to choose a morning/evening wedding, then give you times for ceremony/reception) but this made the timeline easier to work with when the timeline is established based on what works best from their experience. This is definitely an expensive venue, but worth every penny when I could be confident in the venue decision, beautiful scenery, great food, and cooperative staff. Highly recommend!!!
My wedding went flawless. I didn't have to worry about a single thing!
We dropped off decorations and they set them up and they even packed them all away at the end of the night!! The food was delicious (we had the heavy Hors d’oeuvres) and ...

dinner entree options, to walking down the aisle and dancing the night away. The staff here far exceeded our expectations. Shannon kept in touch regularly and made us feel confident in choosing them for our special day. The day of the event, we constantly had someone assisting us, making sure we had everything we needed, and always willing to lend a helping hand. If I had to go back and decide again, I would choose them in a heartbeat.
(Ceremony in front of the Carriage House. Dinner & Reception inside the Carriage House 7.29.2017 7:30pm- midnight)
Beautiful venue, very overpriced. Everything gets 22% service fee and 6.7% taxes. Everything. Cocktail tables, seat covers, food, drinks. So be prepared for that. Get the ceremony for an hour and the reception hall for four hours. Definitely no...
t enough time for the price but again it's very nice literally the staff is super hospitable. I had two day of coordinators, they were amazing! Our bartender was amazing. The servers were amazing. The food is delicious, our guests said it was the best food they had at a wedding. We splurged a little and served prime rib n stuffed chicken. It seriously was an amazing experience working with the Manor House :)
Response from the Vendor on 07/29/2017
Thank you so much for you kind words regarding the reception. We agree that our service staff, Managers and Chef & kitchen staff are amazing and a great job! Regarding the ceremony...just to clarify Brides are able to arrive 2 1/2 hours prior...
to the start of the ceremony in additional to the 1-hour time for the ceremony. Most ceremonies last about 20-30 minutes we have found. Our standard tables, chairs, etc are all included and extras such as chair covers and other special linens are additional. This is pretty standard in the industry with other similar venues. Additionally, a service charge of up to 24% is pretty standard as well. We do not have any control over the state taxes...
Again, we are very pleased that you were so happy with the service and food at the reception. We will definitely pass your comments along to all!
Cordially,
Bill & Kathy Kinane, Owners
The Manor House was amazing! If you desire a beautiful, elegant backdrop for your wedding ceremony and reception, this is your venue. We were married July 2017 at the gazebo and our reception was in the Augusta ballroom with the cocktail hour...
in the adjacent courtyard. Our guests loved it!
If you are blessed and fortunate to work with Shannon, you will be extremely pleased. Shannon provides excellent service with a fun, warm demeanor. My husband and I were very impressed with Manor House and they helped to make our wedding day magical and very special!
Best night of our lives! VENUE: We had our ceremony in the Coach room and reception in the main room of the Carriage House. The venue was breathtaking with an elegant and rustic charm. With the stunning decor in the Carriage House, there wasn't...
much need for a lot of additional decorations. The beautiful fireplaces were turned on in both rooms and made such a welcoming and cozy addition. The tables looked beautiful with the elegant place settings and eggplant napkins they provided. STAFF: Shannon was our main contact person from start to finish. She was easy to work with through the planning process and always had an energetic, positive vibe. Shannon was in contact with all of our vendors, which took a lot of stress away from me. The other staff at the Manor House worked together to make our ceremony and reception absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived for pictures, we had someone checking in on us every 15 minutes to see if we needed anything. They were attentive without being intrusive. I truly felt like I had nothing to worry about once I arrived. Everything went off without a hitch (and if it didn't, they were so good, that I had no idea!) My dad (who does not give away money easily) felt that every dollar was well spent. With the level of service provided before and during the wedding and reception, the staff truly earned the service charge applied to the event. FOOD: The plated meals were served quickly and were delicious. We had the filet mignon and chicken piccata. Our guests were very complimentary about both. As a request from the groom, we also had late night bites provided by the Manor House. We ordered cheeseburger sliders and a Skyline coney bar. The late night bites came out around 10:00 and both were AMAZING!! OVERALL: We decided to get married three months after getting engaged. I would never have imagined we would be able to pull off such a wonderful event in this short period of time. With the help of the Manor House (and my retired mom), the day was one I will remember for a lifetime. Besides the 50 degree temperature drop the day of the wedding, there was not a single thing I would change about the day! Thank you to Shannon and the rest of the Manor House staff for helping to make our day perfect! :)

So thrilled that we were able to provide the Wedding of your dreams! Thank you for your positive comments. Our Staff is awesome...but we still love it when we get positive reviews! Congratulations on your Newlywed Status...and thank you for ...
trusting Manor House with such a special day in your life!
Stunning venue! This was the first venue I visited when trying to decide where to have my wedding and I fell in love with it. The grounds are gorgeous and well kept, the interior is very classy and formal. I had my wedding ceremony in the atriu...
m and it was gorgeous, I just loved the amount of natural light and the ceiling in that room. My reception was held in the Carolina room and it was perfect, my favorite part of the room was the bar and fireplace, very cozy and classy atmosphere. The cost was very reasonable for what you get here, the food is great, and the staff are very attentive to all your needs. During the planning process I worked with Shannon and she is fabulous! She was very helpful and genuinely excited and happy when helping me plan my vision for my wedding and reception, she really takes the time to communicate with you and she was a real pleasure to work with. Everything the day of went perfectly and everything was decorated beautifully and exactly the way I had imagined it. I would highly recommend the Manor House!
Manor house is so elegant and beautiful. We worked with Shannon and she was amazing to work with! She made sure every selection we made was carefully thought about and if we wanted to change something, we could call or email her to change or di...
scuss. Our wedding day was perfect! It almost felt like we had a personal assistant the entire night. They appoint someone to make sure the night is going as planned and that your food and beer service is working smoothly. It was more than I ever expected out of a venue. But, it was perfect. We will never forget our wedding night because everything was beautiful and magical. I highly recommend Manor House!!!
PERFECT VENUE! I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was with the Manor House from the very beginning till the grand finale! Michelle did an amazing job working and guiding us through the wedding planning process. She was so ver...
y nice and easy to work with. She is very professional and an expert in planning the perfect wedding for our daughter.
The wedding ceremony was held in the beautiful outdoor gazebo and gardens. It was picture perfect! We were blessed with great weather and the ceremony was lovely.
The reception in the Carolina room was absolutely breath taking and beautiful! It was set up exactly as we had planned and was stunning with the centerpieces, chair covers and sashes! I can't say enough about the great service of all staff during the reception! Christine and Corrine our banquet coordinators were exceptional and went above and beyond to make things absolutely perfect. We all enjoyed the delicious food and drink and had the time of our lives!
I highly recommend the Manor house and I personally want to thank Michelle and all the other staff for making it the best day of my daughters life!
I'm not sure I can say enough amazing things about Manor House. Let me start by saying that Shannon was an absolute dream to work with. She kept me informed and on track every step of the way. Because we had a long engagement, we actually booke...
d Manor House almost 2 years before our wedding date, which meant that we had plenty of time to drive Shannon and the team crazy with decision changes - all of which she handled with grace and genuine care. In addition to the beautiful ceremony and reception sites Manor House also hosts their own catering - and let me tell you that their food is phenomenal! Everyone I spoke with throughout the evening mentioned how great their food was. Shannon even worked with us to rent chairs and linens for the reception and she helped us lay out the most ideal room design for all of our guests, cake display, and gifts. Corrine was our bridal hostess for the day of the wedding and she did a superb job as well. She kept us in line and even helped keep up properly located with our agenda for the day. It was so wonderful to work with such a thoughtful staff and to host both our ceremony and reception in the same place. You pay a little more for the quality and convenience, but it was worth every penny for us.
The Manor House was such a great venue to host our wedding ceremony & reception! We worked with Shannon, who (besides being extremely friendly & helpful) made the whole process easy & fun. Paul was our room manager & he did such an amazing job ...
putting everything together for us. Everyone we worked with was extremely helpful & nice. I cannot thank everyone at the Manor House enough for helping to make the day so perfect!

Overall this is a great experience I love the Manor House and the staff ,my sisters wedding went with out a hitch. Christine the manager for the night was amazing she helped the whole family when she could when she wasn't able to the bridal h...
ostess Michaela was there to help as well. I don't think the night wouldn't have gone the way it did if it was for those two amazing young ladies. Then near the middle of the night things got a little confusing another lady approached my families table asking how everything was she said she was the manager and hoped the event was going well. This was the first we were told about her. Then thought the rest of the night I was see her come in and out taking pictures of people dancing and just watching. I get that weddings are a fun thing to experience but this isn't anyone you know and to take pictures of my family without asking disturbed me a little. Yes she said she was the manager but Christine was the manager for us and made that clear at the start, i would prefer people not to take pictures unless they are invited or ask if it would be ok. Just a little creepy. But back to the event it was beautiful the manor house knows how to have an elegant facility and for the most part be professional. Christine and Michaela from me and my family we would like to say thank you for making the night as great as it was.
Love You both
Amazing! Let's start with THE LOOKS: the place is beautiful. It's not just a big empty room - the architecture is elegant and well kept. The little details around the nooks and crannies make all the difference in the world. THE STAFF - Friendli...
est most caring people I've ever worked with. Naila and Shannon made everything a cinch. They were attentive and genuinely committed to our experience. They made sure every little detail was in place and it was perfect. THE WEDDING - We did not expect how gorgeous everything would look on the day of our wedding. When my bride and I saw the set-up, the staging, and the lighting we were honestly in awe... just wow. Thanks Manor Hours!!!
Our wedding was on 7-16-16 and the venue was at the Manor House. It was such an incredible experience, the staff were amazing, and I felt there wasn't one piece that was missing during my wedding. Particularly, I worked with Naila Chowdhery a...
nd Shannon Wullenweber and they were absolutely fantastic. Things I had not thought of, they did. The venue was perfect. Particularly on the day of our wedding, Naila went above and beyond, and participated in every single part of the wedding, right down to hosting our guests. She exceeded our expectations and we will always be grateful for that! My husband and I had family members travel from around the globe and they could not stop talking about how gorgeous the Manor House was, and yet how personable and warm the staff was. We HIGHLY recommend getting married, 5 stars just is not enough!!!!
What an incredible night! We were amazed at the organization and willingness to go out of their way to make our day extra special. Shannon was fantastic through the planning process an was able to answer all questions. Naila ran our event wi...
th precision and was there to help with anything at any minute...even a last minute shoe disaster with a bridesmaid. The grounds are beautiful and I can't wait to see our amazing pictures. When we walked in the room, my jaw almost hit the floor from how beautiful it was. I can't imagine a more amazing venue and staff than what we experienced at Manor House. THANK YOU for one of the most incredible days of our lives!
The Manor House was excellent. I talked to them pretty much every week for the 6 months leading up to my wedding and they were always super helpful and willing to do what I needed to make my day perfect. They were quick to respond to any email...
s or calls. The room was very beautiful the day of the wedding. We used both the Crystal Room and the Carriage House and both were fantastic. Our event manager was great, despite being new and not having history with the venue and our manager the night of the wedding was also great and super helpful. She constantly was asking me if I needed anything. I can't say enough about how awesome they were and how they made my day everything I hoped for. They were also very accommodating to last minute seating chart changes for the guests that didn't come.
Two of our three daughters had their weddings at the Manor/Carriage House. Obviously, we love the service, staff and professionalism. They absolutely thought of everything. Working with Shannon was an absolute delight. She was calm, patient...

n is only one of many details necessary in hosting a memorable wedding...it's the people working for you (often behind the scenes) that pull it all together AND Manor House hit it out of the park! The MH team who attended to our evening were exceptionally friendly and attentive...our guests noticed and commented. The leader of this team was our sales manager, Shannon Wullenweber. Shannon is "top notch" in the industry and an absolute gem to work with. Thank you Manor House for helping us create a dream wedding!
The Manor House was the perfect fit for our big day! They accommodated all our special requests to help us plan and execute our dream wedding. We had the main building to ourselves pretty much all day. We used one of the smaller banquet rooms f...

Everything was perfect!!

n the Manor House staff is what sets them apart from other venues. Truly extraordinary. There were no hiccups or bumps along the way and everything that was promised to us was delivered and then some thanks to our Sales Manager, Shannon, who was a dream to work with. She wanted my wedding day to be as perfect as I did and it showed in the care they took down to every last detail. As soon as the wedding party pulled up to the reception we were immediately greeted by the Banquet Manager, Naila, and ushered into a private room with Champagne and appetizers. Her poise and professionalism throughout the night was exceptional and she set the tone for the entire evening. We were also assigned a captain, Christine, who took care of us the entire evening, and it was like having a "right hand man" to take care of whatever we needed. The owners, Bill and Kathy, are wonderful people and they really know what they are doing. Our reception was magical and the entire staff went above and beyond to make us feel like royalty for a night. I couldn't ask for a better experience.
Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and beyond our expectations. Shannon and staff were amazing! We would highly recommend The Manor House for any special occasion
The event went well, everyone seemed happy but there was just something that bug me the whole night. A manager I do not want to say her name but you will know who I'm talking about if you have her in your room. She is not nice to her employee...
s. I ran into her yelling at these kids, these kids are here to have a job they were serving us perfectly fine and for some reason they were getting yelled at for not bussing the tables. Even though from what I could see the tables are fine if I can remember my servers name I would personally thank him he made my night and he was a very kind and generous young man . Thank you to all the Manor House servers and everything you guys do for us the guest.
Response from the Vendor on 09/23/2016
Well...this is quite an unusual review. Our employees are happy in their jobs and are treated very kindly by the managers. If they do not do their jobs they are not scheduled for future events. Most likely this guest observed a manager who w...
as trying to be sure the event went off flawlessly and may, in fact, have needed to get some servers to be "on task". Also the manager who was referred to is very well liked by all of our employees. An odd observation on my part is that the person reviewing us claims that their wedding is 1/13/2017...which has not yet happened. I do not think this review is realistic.
If the knot only offered more than 5 stars the Manor House would get every one! My family and I could not be more pleased with our experience there. Shannon walked us through exactly what we could expect if we booked and the service staff backe...
d that up to the nines!! I was so detail oriented on EVERYTHING I wanted for my wedding that after meeting the Manor House staff I knew I was in good hands. I think every wedding is special but mine felt magical. We had a lot of out-of-town guests and they raved the next morning about how lovely they thought the reception site was. I can't wait to plan a milestone wedding anniversary party there!!
We had our wedding at the Manor House on September 19 and it turned out to be the most beautiful day. Everything I could have imagined and more. Leading up to that day, I worked with Linda Lykins and would not recommend her. She was very unprof...
essional and made promises that she did not keep. At one point, I tried to get my money back and start over with a different venue. I am so glad that I did not because for the rehearsal and wedding, Nila took care of us and she was absolutely phenomenal! She took care of everything for us and was very professional. The Manor House is a beautiful venue, with gorgeous landscape and great food! As long as you don't work with Linda, it will be the perfect venue for you!
Manor House was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. We toured many, many venues and walked away from all of them with an uncertain feeling. When we toured Manor House, we instantly knew that we had to have our reception there. The venu...
e has such a classy feel to it, with so many beautiful areas for photographing. We originally worked with Anna, who eventually left Manor House. We were then matched with Shannon, and we were so glad to be able to work with her. She has such a great wedding planning background and brought up topics that we didn't even think of. Shannon was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and would answer my emails within minutes every time I had a revision or question. On the day of the wedding, our room (The Crystal Ballroom) was absolutely gorgeous with all of the details and the lighting that Shannon helped us pick out. The food was so delicious, and all of the details were taken care of by their wonderful staff. We are so glad that we chose Manor House for the high quality, classiness, and incredible management. It was a great feeling to hand over all of our hard work leading up to the wedding, and have Manor House run the show for us. Thank you for making our wedding such a beautiful and memorable event!

I am overall extremely pleased with my choice of Manor House for our Wedding Ceremony and Reception Venue. Our Wedding Coordinator was Michelle- she was great to work with. She was very quick to respond to my emails and any last minute changes....
My only complaint is that Manor House does run a very strict timeline, and I had not realized it at the time, but as we booked a Friday wedding, we did not have a lot of time for photos before it got dark. Everything else was exceptional- the food was great, the staff was extremely helpful, and my Banquet Manager, Nick, truly saved my wedding when my cake did not arrive (I didn't even realize it because I was so involved in photos and keeping the Wedding Party on task). When Nick realized the cake had not arrived he talked to me, then called the bakery himself and got them to bring it (the bakery had forgotten my cake!!!) in time for the cake cutting. I would absolutely recommend Manor House to anyone, although if you are planning a Fall Wedding in the evening I would advise doing your photos at a different location beforehand so you can get all the pictures you want. Despite time allocation for photos I could not be more pleased with Manor House as Nick literally saved my wedding by making sure the bakery delivered the cake.
The venue is stunning! The staff was all so great to work with. Michelle was so patient with me and responded very quickly to my emails. The night of the wedding Nick did a fabulous job making sure everything was going smoothly and ensuring we ...
had everything we needed. They helped to make my dream wedding reality.
The Carriage House here is unbelievable and is absolutely gorgeous. Ceremony costs are $2,000, but you also get a bridal and groom's suite to get ready in. Picture potential is amazing. The reception room was absolutely gorgeous. Dance floor, l...
inens, silverware, food, alcohol, and day-of coordinator are all included in the food and beverage cost. I would say the cost is reasonable overall, especially for a gorgeous wedding. The food is extremely good and very high quality. We only had a couple of communication hiccups, but overall, everything was perfect. Manor House helped make my day PERFECT, and I will cherish it even more because of their hard work.
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2015
Thank you for your kind comments. To clarify, the Ceremony Cost at Manor House is $1,500.
ALSO DURING THE MONTHS OF JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND MARCH WE OFFER COMPLIMENTARY CEREMONIES FOR THOSE HOLDING THEIR WEDDING RECEPTION WITH US.
I could not have been happier with the Manor House! When we started looking for places in the Dayton/Cincinnati area to have our wedding, we were looking for a place similar to the Manor House where we could have both the ceremony and receptio...
n at the same location. Even other venues we visited had heard of the Manor House and had very positive things to say about the place. Once we checked it out, we knew this was the place for us.
Linda was our coordinator, and she was extremely helpful and made everything very easy for me, especially since I was planning from out of town. This venue does everything for you, like providing the food, drinks, decorations, and staff. They coordinate with all of your vendors for you in terms of set up/drop off times. They provide several assistants throughout your wedding night so that you really don’t have to worry about the smaller details (family/bridal party lining up for ceremony, getting everyone over to the reception hall, set up, clean up). They really have thought of everything!
The venue is absolutely gorgeous, both the outside scenery for photos as well as parts inside. We chose to have our ceremony at the Carriage House and our reception was in one of the reception halls. We have seen a few preview photos from our photographer, and the scenery is really ideal for photos. Even if the weather is bad, there are several places indoors or under an awning that work as well.
The food was excellent, and they have a variety of options to choose from. All staff was professional and extremely helpful. Although it is on the pricier end for a venue in Ohio, I truly think it was worth every penny.
We worked with Linda Lykins at the Manor House for our reception for 120 people on 6/20/15.
Linda was great to work with and very accommodating to our requests. We loved the Augusta room she suggested as it had beautiful outdoor space too t...
hat was a great area for photographs.
The food was fantastic, and I was happy that Linda let me come to the corporate tasting event 3 1/2 months before the wedding when I missed the wedding tasting event which was held the week before we booked.
The staff was great on the evening of the reception - service at the head and reserved tables was very attentive. The only complaint that we had was that they did not set up the tables as we had outlined and confirmed with Linda the day before. They had odd numbers at some of the tables (9 and even 11) when all tables were supposed to seat 8 with the exception of 3 reserved family tables. My parents' table wasn't set up properly which caused my mom a bit of stress when the staff was resistant to rearrange it to the way it was supposed to be as guests were arriving. Their diagram was so off that it was like they had our layout mixed up with someone else's. Fortunately, they did acquiesce after my mom and the best man insisted, and it was fine. All of the guests loved the food and the facility - many saying that it was the best wedding food that they had eve had.
Spectacular!
The Manor House as a wedding venue was beyond fabulous. We worked with Shannon and our special night could not have been more perfect. From the Ceremony in the beautiful Atrium to the Cocktails in the Gardens and the Reception in ...
the Ball Room..every detail was addressed. Shannon was so professional and easy to work with...she was was my lifeline. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience.

ur desire to have our wedding and reception in the same location, and with beautiful grounds for photos.
My only multi-point complaint – our sales person told us we would not have any conflicts with another wedding/reception…this happened TWICE within an hour. First, when I was trying to leave my bridal suite, my path to exit was blocked by the food cases for the dinner in the reception that was taking place directly across from my bridal suite. Second, when I tried to have my first glance, there was another bridal party that had intruded in our rented portion of the venue. It almost ruined a very special moment. Third, when we finished our ceremony in the atrium, there were groups of guests walking through the atrium during our pictures. I was so distracted during all of the interruptions, and very upset that I was PROMISED this wouldn’t happen…my pictures still turned out ok, but I had to constantly chase people down from the Manor house to try to re-direct the guests from a different wedding. I was very upset that there was not more staff to help maintain and direct the other weddings/receptions. While I understand this is a multi-event center, I was also promised that my biggest fear of having other bridal parties intrude in our rented space would not happen and it did.
With all that said, I would recommend this event center with caution. Know that you will not have what is promised when they say you will have complete privacy. The food is fantastic, and the food/beverage service is perfect.
Response from the Vendor on 06/25/2015
Thank you for your compliments regarding your wedding ceremony , reception and meal service at the Manor House. We appreciate that! In reference to your comments about intrusions and having private space I would like to comment. Manor House ...
accepts responsibility for allowing another event to occur at a non-conventional time for us. We have strict time frames that we usually adhere to. For some reason on this day we allowed another reception to be held that had guests arriving and leaving when they would not normally be doing so. This is an isolated incident and we appreciate your feedback regarding how it affected you and your pre-ceremony and photo experience. We do our best to maintain privacy for our Brides…although "complete privacy" is very difficult maintain anywhere…even from the guests attending your own ceremony and reception. Because we have such a beautiful space, gardens and grounds, it is difficult to monitor the comings and goings of all guests and they like to explore the facility. No one should have walked through the Atrium during your photos…and we apologize for this. As I said, we really do try our best to monitor this…but in your case it seems that a few guests "slipped through the cracks"…again most likely due to the timing issue I mentioned above. Manor House always tries to maintain the highest of standards that our Brides & Grooms, guests and corporate clients expect of us and that we expect of ourselves. Not sticking with our time frames is a lesson learned. Again thank you for your positive feedback as well as the constructive feedback! Kathy Kinane, owner

a wedding in a different State. Michelle helped to make the whole planning process easy and stress free. We told her what we wanted and she took care of making sure everything was perfect.The venue was stunning inside and outside. We took all of our pictures on the Manor House grounds and the setting was beautiful. Michelle answered all of our questions and emails almost immediately! Our guests keep talking about how wonderful the entire wedding was how elegant the Manor House was. The food was delicious!!. The Manor House organized for us to have a Skyline Buffet set up late in the night for a late night bite for our guests. It was a big hit! I cannot say one bad thing about the Manor House.
The building is very nice and the gardens out back are very pretty. This place made a great site for our pictures before the ceremony! I would recommend this place for sure. Can be pricey but the staff was great, the food was great, and the pla...

The Manor House was absolutely beautiful! It was the perfect place to have our reception. It's a little pricey, but they can help you put together the perfect package for you (plus, you don't have to find a caterer, rent plates, utensils, table...

My husband and I got married in June 2014 and we had the great experience of having our wedding reception at the Manor House in Mason, OH. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly (especially Anna our Sales Manager) both in the planning pr...
ocess and on the actual wedding day. The Manor House took great care of us and helped create a wonderful atmosphere and experience for us and our guests. Our reception was held in the Magnolia Room and it was amazing (we highly recommend it). The grounds were beautiful and perfect for pictures as well. They offer great options for food and beverages, and we received many compliments about the food at our reception from our guests. The Manor House even offers a complimentary food tasting during the planning process where you get to taste and try out all of the different food and drink options while mingling with other engaged couples that are also using the Manor House throughout the year. It was very fun and a great way to not only pick different options, but to also enjoy the planning process. We couldn't have asked for a better experience or venue for our wedding reception, and we would highly recommend the Manor House in Mason, OH for anyone looking for a great venue and staff to make your reception fun, memorable, and stress-free.
My wedding at the carriage house was beautiful and went so well thanks to the staff of the manor house. Throughout the process I was able to meet my vision with no surprises. They had a fun tasting night to help prep and the few meetings with m...
y rep were helpful and assured me all would go well and it did! We had a brunch wedding and everything was delicious! The venue and grounds were great for photos! We have gotten many compliments and had a great wedding experience at the manor house.
My wedding was this past January and I cannot express how wonderful The Manor House was for helping us plan our special day, and not to mention how stress free it was! The Sales Manager was so friendly and simply made the planning so easy and ...
simply. They were very willing to work with me and my schedule and the weekend of the wedding went flawlessly. The staff set out our decorations exactly how we wanted them to, and they even allowed us to arrive early to do our own flowers. Everything in the Carriage House matched my Rustic Winter wedding and it was so beautiful with snow outside! The environment inside was so warm and cozy and just the love of our special day was so apparent in everything. We were able to use the Coach Room as our ceremony site and dance area and then the Carriage Room for our dinner reception. The food was delicious (I received many compliments following the wedding about how good the food was)! Overall, I loved the Carriage House for my Rustic Winter Wedding.
My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at The Manor House. I was planning my wedding from across the country and it was very difficult! The Manor House helped me find bakeries, DJ's and even a minister! The service during my wedding...
was perfect! Everyone was courteous. My reception started at 8:00 so It was very important to me that my guests were fed immediately. I stressed this to the Manor House and they were on top of it the entire night! I would recommend the Manor House to any brides who are looking for a stress free environment for their wedding.
Our ceremony was in the attached courtyard to the Augusta Room. It had a retractable awning in case of rain and sun, which was needed that day. The setting is a BEAUTIFUL brick courtyard with lots of flowers and plants and rocking chairs! The r...
eception was in the Augusta Room with its crystal chandeliers, large room and bar, and with the black and white linens and flowers it was GORGEOUS! We had room for a candy buffet and live photo booth too. But the most important part of the wedding is your FOOD. It was FANTASTIC! We had 84 Filet Mignon and almost every guest raved about their dinners. The Portabella Chicken was tender and wonderful too! The service was also excellent and professional. The only negative I can think of was how quickly they kept removing wedding cake from the guest plates. Some people would be dancing or taking photos and return to their table where their uneaten cake was already removed. All in all, it was a perfect day! Beautiful setting, wonderful food and drinks, music and dancing, and great service! So many people came up to me to say how great the food was and that they thought this was the best wedding they had been to in a long time.
Wedding: 08/03/2013
I fell in love with Manor House for my early August outdoor wedding immediately. I had a wonderful wedding planner who warned me that Manor House can be difficult, but she handled the negotiations and luckily Michelle at Manor House was extreme...
ly cooperative in the beginning for a traditional Indian wedding, including accommodating two elephants!
However, what happened the DAY BEFORE the wedding ruined my whole experience with Manor House. I got a call the day before the wedding (i guess when Michelle realized it was definitely going to rain) that the courtyard was not an actual rain site even though she made no mention of that last year when she negotiated the contract. I rushed over there to figure out some solution practically in tears and NOT ONCE did anybody at Manor House apologize for all the confusion and stress. In fact, every single solution included paying several thousand more to make the wedding happen. In the end, my wedding planner convinced me that the courtyard would be fine and it would not rain at my wedding. She was right. The rain stopped and the courtyard turned out quite lovely. Nayla at Manor House was the one who took care of me on my wedding day and I cannot speak more highly of her. Thank you Nayla and Nidhi (my wedding planner) for saving the day!
Also, there were several iPhones and purses that went missing and were never found despite Manor House requiring and charging for a security guard two days before the wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 02/05/2014
My husband Bill and I own Manor House. We were both on the Manor House grounds the day of the above-mentioned wedding. I would like to clarify a few things. Michelle, the Sales Person from Manor House contacted Nidhi regarding the alleged co...
mment that "Manor House can be difficult". Nidhi's response was shock that she was quoted as saying that…as she denied having said any such thing about Manor House. Her email said: "I literally got that wedding in two magazines saying how wonderful the Manor House was"! Secondly, the above-mentioned Bride initially booked with Manor House to have her ceremony at the Gazebo with the beautiful all-enclosed Atrium as a backup. When it appeared that there might be some weather issues, the Manor House offered the Bride the opportunity to use the Courtyard at no additional cost to her, if she still desired an outdoor wedding. the Courtyard is sold as a rain backup with a covered top. There are sides that can be added if someone so desires. In all probability this number of guests in attendance was probably larger than the space that could be enclosed. This is certainly obvious when the venue is booked and again I must reiterate that this was a last-minute offering to the Bride. The Atrium is always the backup for all Gazebo weddings and was available to the Bride that day. It is difficult to be responsible for "confusion and stress" that is attributed to weather…which is obviously beyond our control. Finally, just as all other banquet venues, Manor House cannot be responsible for lost items. Our policy regarding the requirement of security is tied to all events where there are a large number of under-age guests (children) in proportion to the number of total guests…when there are no designated chaperones. This policy ensures the safety of the children in attendance and has nothing to do with the security of items guests bring to an event. Again, we cannot be responsible for misplaced items. Naila always does a great job running her events. On this particular day, there was in fact another manager, John, who was running the event in conjunction with Naila to ensure that the event went very smoothly. From our point of view, Manor House performed our responsibilities flawlessly from start to finish. Kathy Kinane
Took care of a lot of the details.
We had our ceremony and reception at the Manor House in the Courtyard and the Augusta Room. The Manor House grounds were beautiful and the service and attention we received were outstanding. The banquet manager assigned to us went above and bey...
ond in making our day flawless. She coordinated with all of our vendors to ensure that everything flowed well throughout the night. The bartender and staff were all excellent, too. Everyone said the food was the best buffet food they had ever had and we agree with that. Their house wines are also good. The Manor House took care of even the smallest of details just as we had discussed without any errors and anything we asked for the night of the wedding, they immediately provided. I would highly recommend this venue.
The Manor House was unbelievably awesome for our wedding! The first thing we did after becoming engaged was research wedding locations and instantly fell in love with the Manor House. The beautiful outdoor landscaping and grand interior was e...
xactly what we were looking for. We booked with the Manor House nearly two years before our actual wedding but not one detail was forgotten throughout that time. Special thank you to our planning coordinator Anna! She was available via email at all hours of night and helped think of all the details to make our day perfect! Our guest will never forget the Skyline Chili bar you suggested!! All in all, we’d highly recommend the Manor House and their entire staff to any bride-to-be. Amazing space, amazing food and amazing people to work with!
Our Wedding Day was absolutely perfect thanks to the Manor House! Mike and I were married in the courtyard and then had our reception in the Augusta Room (right off the courtyard), the set-up was absolutely perfect! Linda and her staff were so ...
helpful through-out the whole planning process and all the up until the last song of the evening! They executed everything with perfection!! If you are looking for the best place to have your wedding in Mason,OH.... look no further :)
We wanted an all-in-one facility for our wedding location.
We were able to be married in the covered top courtyard and have our reception in the adjoining Augusta room. We have heard nothing but compliments from our guests on the food and lo...
cation, as well as appreciation about not having a long drive between ceremony and reception.
The one downside was that it was almost the hottest day of the year, so in our bridal dressing room we definitely needed a fan. I would imagine this is probably a pretty common problem, and they would keep one on site for this purpose, but they don't. So I would recommend bringing a fan just in case to future brides for any summer wedding. The reception room itself was appropriately ventilated.
Since we weren't able to eat much at our wedding, the tasting was amazing. We got to sample literally everything on the menu and then try to pare it down to what we would actually serve. Great to work with, very professional.
The Manor house made my wedding more beautiful and perfect and took pressure off me. 2 weeks later we are still hearing about how amazing the food was and how friendly the staff was. It was the most amazing catered food any of my guests had eve...

r a better place to have our wedding at!!
We got lots of attention in the beginning, but, kinda got lost in the shuffle during the final 2 weeks before the wedding. Our rehearsal was not handled very well.
The Manor House has many gorgeous areas for ceremony, reception, and photos. They did a great job managing the whole process.
Our wedding was July 13, 2013 and everything went so smoothly.
The venue is beautiful! We were married in the Atrium and our reception was down the hall in the Crystal Room. Linda was our sales rep and was very helpful! There was not one thing...
that i could complain about! Im lucky i guess :] Such a great and stress free experience. The place is amazing and the food is wonderful! We had a great experience at the Manor House!!! I would recommend it!
The venue is beautiful, especially the outdoor gardens. We had our ceremony in one of the outdoor areas, and it was a perfect setting.
The staff of Manor House is really helpful with planning your event. We worked with Michelle, and she was ...
great, and ensured that we had a great event.
One of the downsides is that you have to be very explicit with them about certain things. For example, we brought some of our own votive candles (which we had rented) for centerpieces, and they ended up getting thrown away by the Manor House staff at the end of the night. Also, we had lots of extra cake and deserts, and that disappeared. We were hoping to keep it and freeze portions for later, but we ended up with very little leftovers, due to Manor House staff misplacing it/throwing it away.
They book dates at least a year in advance for Friday/Saturday dates during wedding season.
The Manor house was the perfect setting for my wedding and reception. We were married in the atrium and partied in the adjoining Carolina room. We had excellent service with our captain, John Sullivan. Also, the food was delicious and we were ...
told the best beef tenderloin to many guests. Wonderful, wonderful venue. Every concern that arose (not too many) was addressed quickly and professionally by the staff and John. Thank you!
The Manor House was excellent in providing exceptional service, efficient service, and friendly staff. My husband and I were very pleased- all of our family and friends also commented on the organization of the staff and that everyone was very...
accommodating. We worked with Linda who was great. She took on our wedding seamlessly. Also, on the day of the wedding, the entire staff made all of our wedding party feel at ease. The guests all enjoyed the food (especially the carved roast beef)- it was exactly what we had hoped for.
During the planning process, it was very easy to work with the Manor House. There was ample time to review the details and they made sure that we were pleased with the setup of everything. The menu tasting allowed us to taste and choose exactly what we wanted for our menu- and to see a variety of sample table setups. The food was just as we remembered it from the tasting. The Atrium was the setting for our ceremony, our guests loved it. We were in the Carolina Room for our reception, our guests appreciated the room proximity. Our guests stayed at two of the nearby hotels; this made for easy transportation with Polly the Trolley. From the onset of our interactions with the Manor House, to the menu tasting, to the day of the wedding, we were thoroughly pleased. We considered other similar venues, but the grounds and the customer service made Manor House stand out.
Sherri is amazing!!!! She was professional friendly and just an absolute joy to work with! The manor house crystal ballroom was stunning!!!! I walked in on my wedding day and was blown away!!! John my banquet manager made sure I was taken care ...
of all night ...along with my mother father and groom. The staff was wonderful... The gardens beautiful and it all made my dream wedding a reality. I recommend the manor house 100%!!!!
