Melhorn Manor

g up to and on the day of our wedding. They paid great attention to detail and went above and beyond to make our day special for us! They were also so much fun to work and spend time with, and we appreciate all of the stories and laughs. Would 1000% recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the Lancaster area!

lp, and gave us ideas we didn't even know were possible that made our day even more magical. Their full coordination upgrade was well worth it for the ease of wedding day and all of their staff were so nice and helpful. They even went above and beyond after our wedding day to ensure we had all of our items back and that we were pleased with how the day went! This is a wonderful venue with an even more fantastic staff.

ve with their story of their beautiful venue. Whenever I had any questions they were always happy to help no matter the time of day! Everything on our wedding day went so smoothly because of how professional and detail oriented they are. They took care of everything and made sure our vision came to life! We 100% recommend booking any event with them, they are definitely the best in the business and treat you like you are part of their family. Something unique and special we loved was that they have favors saved from every wedding that has been at their family wedding venue. Again, thank you so much Jess and Allory and all of the staff at Melhorn! With lots of love-The Cullums est. 6.14.2025

detail was perfect. Leading up to the wedding, Jessica was incredibly supportive, anticipating needs and providing guidance on everything from layout options to rain plans. She truly understood our vision and made sure nothing was overlooked. On the wedding day, the venue was beautifully prepared and created an elegant, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was attentive and handled any issues seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy the day without worry. The venue also offers plenty of stunning photo opportunities, both indoors and out, and is a perfect backup for indoor ceremonies in case of bad weather. When rain hit unexpectedly, the staff quickly adjusted the layout, ensuring everything went smoothly. Our guests were equally impressed with the service and attention they received. Overall, choosing Melhorn Manor and working with Jessica and Allory was one of the best decisions we made. Their professionalism and care made our day unforgettable, and I highly recommend Melhorn Manor for anyone looking for a memorable wedding experience.

d separate indoor options for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The Tobacco Barn for the ceremony was my favorite! More than a beautiful venue, Melhorn Manor comes with Jess and Allory Melhorn and their talented staff. They ensured everything went off without a hitch. Jess and Allory do a wonderful job taking care of all the little details. During our private last dance, Allory even told the vendors cleaning up to wait so we could have one last moment. If you're looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding venue, I highly recommend looking into Melhorn Manor.

utely stunning and will take your breath away and the Staff is so helpful and so amazing. They will be by your side every step of the way helping you plan your special day! I couldn't ask for a better venue as this! Our wedding day was truly a dream come true!

magical thanks to the team's hard work and expertise. When my fiancé and I started the wedding planning process, we toured plenty of venues, but we knew right away that Melhorn Manor was different in the best way. We were used to being rushed through other venue tours, dismissed because our wedding wasn't big enough, and generally being made to feel more like dollar signs than excited newlyweds-to-be. But our experience at Melhorn Manor couldn't have been further from this - we met Allory for the tour, and before we took a step through the property, he took the time to introduce himself and the Melhorn family and to share the lovely story of how Melhorn Manor came about. We didn't feel rushed or pressured like we had at other venues, and Allory really took the time to understand our vision for our big day and help us imagine it around the property. We left that day glowing and feeling sure that "this is the one!" And how right we were!! We really can't say enough positive things about our wedding day. Getting ready in the amazing bridal suite and Groom's room was such a fun and special way to kick off the day. As the ceremony approached, it was so clear that the team was all working so hard to make sure all the decor was set up, every detail was thought through, and every moment went off without a hitch. What a special and humbling feeling it is to have so many people invested in making your special day as magical and memorable as you've always hoped it would be - it's impossible to express the depth of our gratitude. Our wedding day was quite a rainy one, but the Melhorn team had a plan for everything. Melhorn Manor had the most robust rain plan of any venue we toured: some venues' plans had felt more like an afterthought, while Melhorn offers an entirely separate building that can be used for the ceremony in inclement weather. It was such a huge relief to feel like we didn't have to worry about adjusting every detail on the fly, and to go into our rainy wedding day knowing that, regardless of the weather, it would be just as beautiful and special as we always imagined. We had and continue to have SO many of our guests, both on the wedding night and afterwards, tell us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. So many glowing comments about the beautiful venue, the fun had on the dance floor, the amazing and kind staff, and all of the countless details that go into making the day memorable. We couldn't agree more that Melhorn Manor was the perfect backdrop for our special day, and we have the incredible team to thank for all the hard work, attention to detail, and love that went into making this the wedding of our dreams. We, and our families and loved ones, will truly cherish the memory of this day for a lifetime. We are so grateful to have had the absolute joy of working with Allory, Jess, and the entire Melhorn Manor team. They were enthusiastic, thoughtful, kind, and so organized at every step of the way. We can't imagine what our special day would have looked like anywhere other than Melhorn Manor - what an amazing place that will hold a special place in our hearts forever. We simply can't thank the entire staff enough!!

el like family! The attention to detail and professionalism speaks volumes about how seriously they take making your day perfect. We did not have to lift a finger the day of our wedding. Every single thing was taken care of for us efficiently so we could sit back, relax, and take in every moment of our perfect day. They were also able to answer every single question we had and offer advice on how to ensure your day goes off without a glitch. We could not be happier that we chose to have our wedding at Melhorn Manor!

of their own. They went above and beyond with making sure our needs were met. The venue and grounds accommodated our large guest count very well. Would highly recommend.

If you're looking for a venue that provides a beautiful indoor and outdoor ceremony space - Melhorn Manor has it. We booked online before seeing the venue, and when we saw it in-person, we were overjoyed happy to see it's like the photos and social media! Our rehearsal and wedding were absolutely amazing thanks to the hard work of Melhorn Manor!

their bartenders and DJ Chris and the whole day was flawless and no stress! The forecast was iffy this day and last minute we changed our ceremony inside their beautiful tobacco barn. Our guests were so thankful for AC in all indoor locations. If you are looking for a supportive, just a text away, friendly, and stress free venue Melhorn is the place! They offer decor you can use from their inventory for FREE and BOOK THE CLEAN UP PACKAGE! It was the best decision we made! I can’t say enough good things about this venue and the caring people that work here! Thank you, Melhorns!

, I expected to feel so much anxiety the day of my wedding and I didn't at all. I truly thank Allory, Jess and their team for that! I 1000% recommend Melhorn Manor as anyone's wedding venue and wish we could do it all over again just to be able to work with them again!

ng but they did everything they could to make it that much easier! We knew this place was where we wanted to get married from the very first visit. During the tour, Allory was so helpful and informative and showed us so many images of each space to help us visualize how it could look on our wedding day. When we started the planning process, Jess was AMAZING to work with as well. She was so organized and helped us with everything from table layouts, linens, timelines, rehearsal, and every detail in between. They were super responsive and attentive from the start to the very end and our wedding could not have gone any more smooth, thanks to the Melhorns and team. The entire venue was beautiful. The bridal suite has so much space for all your girls to get ready and the groomsman suite was a hit for the guys. The reception hall is stunning and there was so much room to move around even with 18 tables. If you’re considering Melhorn Manor, my only advise is DO IT!!!!!

ern and rustic. The bridal and groom suites are a must if you are getting ready on site at a venue, and the spaces at Melhorn are large enough to comfortably hang out. The owners, Jess and Allory, really set this venue above the rest. They are so organized, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and you can tell they really care about the couples getting married at their venue. During our wedding, Allory and Jess were present to make sure everything ran smoothly. I will recommend Melhorn 100% to anyone in search of a wedding venue!

organized, went over all details with us, and made great suggestions that we had not thought of. We were very pleased with the venue and the service we received.

ly fell in love! My pinterest board inspo was near to exact of everything and more that I dreamed of! When planning for a wedding on a budget we wanted to get the biggest bang for our buck - yes it may be more upfront than most venues in the area but WOW is it worth it and even SAVES you money! What really made the instant decision to book was that Jess and Allory did not try to nickle and dime you - you paid for their venue but also it came with SO much stuff. It is beautiful in its nature with its elevated barn aroma that not a lot of decorations are needed to make it elegant. They also offered all and anything they had with no extra charge including ; a list of over 100 decor items to choose from, an arch (out of three choices), all tables and chairs you could ever need, their own sound system so we did not have to hire a DJ, coordination services MONTHS BEFORE and DURING the wedding - I could go on but I think you get the idea that Melhorn Manor is an OUTSTANDING venue with people that work and care for all their couples from the bottom of their hearts. Jess & Allory - thank you for making our dream day come to life! It was everything we ever dreamed of!

. You get so much space for the wedding between the 3 barns. I wouldn’t look anywhere else - contact them right now!

or phone call away to help us answer last minute questions. We had our ceremony in the Tobacco Barn, but they have at least three other places to have your ceremony. The Reception we had in the main hall which stayed cool and open the entire night. It was a perfect day!

et, and they were able to keep my mind at ease about anything I had questions about. As for the venue, it is absolutely beautiful and the amount of unique spaces drew us to it even more. The location being in town in Mount Joy surprised us initially, but while there you hardly even notice that this gem of a venue has other businesses and buildings nearby. You’ll feel like you’re in your own world either in the outside ceremony spot, playing cornhole at the front of the equestrian barn, or out back at their wonderful waterfall feature.

compelled to write a review), and Jess and Allory were amazing and so supportive when it came to rescheduling our big day (twice!). They even worked with us to set up tents in the outdoor space so we could party safely in the beginning of 2021. They were so helpful throughout the whole process, including the day of. We couldn’t have asked for more from them and their team! And the venue itself is perfect- we ended up needing to utilise it in a unique way, which was pretty easy to do because of how many different location options they have. We had so many guests come up to us and comment on the venue and how perfect it was. AND- it was super accessible for differently-abled people we had at our wedding. We truly could not recommend Melhorn enough.

ver have to worry about the weather because there are so many covered options. We experienced snow, sleet, and rain. I never had to worry about poor weather ruining our pictures because the indoor options are gorgeous! Plus, Melhorn has a beautiful wrap-around, covered porch, and other locations with overhangs. Melhorn Manor has so much to offer; you will not be disappointed!

wanted to get married on their property. They are so kind and knowledgeable and Jess was on top of the event planning with answers to every and any questions that we had. There are so many spots throughout the venue for pictures both inside and outside. We also had 20 or so people getting ready there day of and it was so comfortable and spacious for us all (our hair and makeup was very happy to have the space). I told them when it was over that I wish we could have an event there every year because of how enjoyable our experience was. If you have the chance to get married here-book ASAP!!

even helping us reach out to other vendors and the late night text messages back and forth. Melhorn Manor is LGBTQ+ friendly, and I would recommend 110%.

welcoming people, but they know exactly how to run a wedding venue. They have great communication. They make sure that your day runs smoothy. They help repurpose decorations from the ceremony to the reception. They are AMAZING. I would hightly recommend having your wedding or event at Melhorn Manor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ur special day. Their communication and help throughout the whole planning process was amazing and they truly helped us have the most special day. Everything went off seamlessly and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We will continue to recommend this venue to all the engaged couples we know!

thought of. I very highly recommend Melhorn!

shows. You will never regret booking your dream wedding at Melhorn Manor! 1,000/10 recommend!

y patient, nice, and smart. They have been in this role for many years now and it is a wonderful feeling to know you can trust them with one of the most important days ever. I would book with Jessica and Allory 1,000 times over if possible. You will not regret it one bit. The venue itself is beautiful. So many wonderful areas for portraits, cocktail hour, ceremony, etc. No matter what weather happens on your day you will not be upset. The worst part of booking with such wonderful people and venue is realizing that after the wedding day has come to end end, so has your planning. I have had the pleasure of chatting here and there with Jess post wedding, but no one tells you about the void you feel after spending a year or more with your vendors. I hope to be back with my husband to say "Hi" when it's near our anniversary. Do you and your future partner a favor, and book with Melhorn Manor! You can thank me later :)

ed with them just under 2 years before the actual date, and they kept communication open the entire time with check-Ins and updates right up to the day of the wedding. The day of, they were on site and ready to help us with whatever we needed. They are just kind and welcoming people at the heart of it all, and all of our guest felt so at home and welcomed. I will forever recommend Melhorn Manor, not only because it is a beautiful, elegant venue, but also because the venue is owned by genuinely good people!!!

estions we had and very thorough at corroding all our wedding details. On our wedding day, Allory was there to help with making the day run smooth. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to make our day so special. We would recommend this venue to anyone interested in having a celebration at Melhorn.

spend such an important day in our lives. Jess and Allory were so amazing and made everything go so flawlessly! It made our day just that more special. I can not recommend this venue more, not just because of how beautiful it is, but because Jess & Allory make you feel like family and really take care of you. Thank you guys so much for the most beautiful day that I will never ever forget!

initely get your bang for your buck with them. Jess and Allroy are absolutely the best wedding venue owners I’ve ever met. There is no doubt in my mind that without the help of those two out day wouldn’t have gone as well as it did. They made you feel like part of their Melhorn family before your actual day. Jess answered every question we could possibly think of leading up to and on the wedding day. They were the upmost professional with all the wedding guests. They helped whoever needed help and directed everyone from the ceremony to cocktail hour without a hitch. The vendors they recommend are fantastic as well. Definitely stick to the list of vendors they give you because you definitely won’t regret it. It was a very hot June day but they made sure everyone in the wedding party and guest were properly hydrated the whole time. Just when you think they can’t blow your mind with hospitality they blow your expectations out the water. I recommend Melhorn Manor to any newly engaged couples in my friend group because they are absolutely the best!

precious family and friends, for reasonable cost. While we did plan for a few decorations and some flowers, we were free from stress of how we would make the space look nice on the wedding day, because every space, indoor and outdoor, is authentically gorgeous just as it is. Our guests still mention the "Wow" as they walked through the door to the reception. The entire venue feels authentic. It does not feel like trappings pulled together that largely look out of place as many venues these days do, but rather thoughtful historic preservation with just the right amount of modern amenities. It must not go without mentioning that Jess and Allory were the most gracious, kind hosts who were wonderful to work with from beginning to end. They gave my wife and me such a great gift in hosting our wedding at their venue, a gorgeous, stress-free day with our loved ones.

ed the multiple barns that they were able to go in for each part of our wedding day. Our wedding day was perfect and even with the rain, the Tobacco Barn was a great backup plan for the ceremony to take place indoors. The staff members that worked throughout the event were extremely kind and helpful to not only the wedding party, but also to our guests. Brooke made sure that we were taken care of and everything went exactly how we wanted it during the entire evening. Even during the cleanup process of the event she was present, kind, and helpful.

cess. We got married in May of 2021 and it ended up raining all weekend. They were very efficient when it came to moving the ceremony inside instead of having it outdoors. I would recommend this venue to anyone that asked.

venue! Honestly, we wished we had seen them first because not only is the Venue GORGEOUS, but the Melhorn family is just absolutely amazing. Jess eased our stress about postponing our wedding for another year AND just helped in every way possible. I can not say enough good things about the venue and service that was provided. As a gay couple getting married in PA, we were nervous looking for venues and let me tell you we were so HONORED to be their first (of many) Gay Wedding! Jess was so sweet and so excited to have us that it really made us feel so so welcome into their venue and their family of weddings! We were a wedding of 75 people and we used the Tobacco Barn for our Ceremony, The Stables for Cocktail Hour, and the upstairs Barn for Reception. We used the Corn barn for some photos of us practicing our first dance as that was my favorite location! We were also a December wedding themed to Classic Winter Holiday and this was perfect for that. I really have so much good to say about the venue and the Melhorns, they helped us have the wedding of our dreams! And they really do care about their Couples! Do not hesitate to book this venue!

taking. Working with Allory is Jess made planning our special day so easy. Their attention to detail and their added help with questions that we had made our Wedding absolutely wonderful and go off without a problem. Its all in the details and they know how to handle the details so well. I fully recommend Melhorn Manor for your perfect day!!

s just the kindest, most patient. He really helped us envision ourself at the venue on our wedding day. Jess had also been very kind, and bring a very refreshing energy to the whole wedding process. I cannot say enough good things about Allory and Jess. The venue itself is beautiful, lots of space, plenty of options. Lends a very great scene for photos and memories that we'll cherish forever. Allory and Jess, and Melhorn Manor is highly recommended by us.
