We can't say enough about Melhorn Manor! To start, the venue is beautiful. We were looking for a place with multiple indoor options with a December wedding. I loved that Melhorn had 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.

I had the pleasure of hosting my wedding at Melhorn Manor in May of 2024, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The team went above and beyond to ensure every 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.

We are so grateful to the entire team at Melhorn Manor for making our wedding day happen!! It's hard to even know where to begin - from start to finish, every detail of the day was 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!!

We got married at Melhorn Manor on October 5, 2024. I am so glad that we chose Melhorn Manor as our venue. The day of our dreams would not have been possible without them. Jess and Allory and the rest of their team are absolutely amazing. They are so easy to communicate with and will help to make your vision for your day come true. The day of, I was not stressed at all knowing everything was in great hands. They truly went above and beyond and made our day so special. And of course, the venue is STUNNING. The barn where cocktail hour and the reception are was beautifully restored. One of my personal favorite details are the gorgeous chandeliers in the reception space. The bridal suite and groomsmen cave were also great for getting ready in. Our ceremony in the courtyard was perfect. The courtyard and the rest of the grounds offered an amazing backdrop for pictures. We received so many compliments about the Melhorn Manor team and the beauty of the venue. I am so happy that we chose Melhorn Manor as our venue. I would 100% suggest it to anyone. Thank you so much Jess and Allory!

I cannot speak highly enough about this venue. The owners Allory and Jess put their heart and soul into every single wedding that takes place here. They have a way of making you feel 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!

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Melhorn Manor as our reception venue! Allory and Jessica were so kind and listened well to our ideas, as well as offering input 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.

Melhorn Manor is an amazing venue, you have owners that care and want to make your day special.
The detail, the communication, and the dedication from the owners is outstanding!
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!

We held our wedding here in late April of 2024 and they were our top pick from the start of our choosing venues point! No one else came close. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! The best part about this venue though are the owners! They were absolutely amazing and nice through the entire process. They made sure we got everything we wanted and that the day of the wedding went smoothly! Jess and Allory are amazing to work with and I would choose them and their venue all over again! HIGHLY recommend! All of our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was, how organized everything was, and how nice the staff were. Best decision we made for our wedding!

Jess and Allory and their staff at Melhorn were nothing short of fantastic. We got married on Saturday 6/29 and we were blown away with the support we had from this venue. We used 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!

Melhorn Manor truly helped us throw the most magical wedding we could have had! Allory and Jess were so helpful and hands-on both leading up to the wedding AND day of. As the bride, 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!

We got married at Melhorn Manor on 4.13.24 and everything about this place was amazing!!!! Our entire experience with the Melhorns was fantastic. Wedding planning can be overwhelming 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!!!!!

Our wedding was 9/23/23 and it was so perfect! From the day we visited Melhorn Manor to the day of our wedding, we were so thankful to have found a great venue owned by even greater people! The venue itself offered so much on the property, that really set them aside from any other venue. Leading up to the day Jess and Allory were so responsive and made sure that we had everything covered as it needed to be. From picking out our caterer and bar package, linens, details for the ceremony, seating and table arrangements, etc. they made sure we were happy with our final decisions. Although the weather was not as we had hoped, as we originally had planned for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. Allory and our vendors made sure that everything flowed easily and was the wedding of our dreams. Having our ceremony in the Tobacco Barn was so beautiful and our cocktail hour was inside the Stables which was great for our guests to mingle and see all of our decor. Our friends and family had so much fun and are still telling us how our wedding was one of the best they have ever been to! I could not thank the Melhorn’s and their staff enough for allowing us to forever cherish the precious memories we made that day!

Our wedding was 11/11/23 at Melhorn Manor and it was perfect! Choosing this venue was one of the best choices we made. The venue is gorgeous, spacious, and the perfect blend of modern 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!

We had our wedding on 9/16/23 @ Melhorn Manor. I can't even begin to put into words how much I absolutely love and recommend, not only this venue, but the owners. They were so great with organizing everything from start to finish. We originally had a different venue but decided to change and go with Melhorn and it was the best decision we could have ever made. They were friendly, understanding, easy going, just great. If you want a venue that truly cares about your special day and making it great, Melhorn Manor is the place to be. Our guests loved the venue and were saying how beautiful it was. There were so many locations for beautiful pictures. Our day was just perfect and they had a huge part in it. Thank you Allory and Jess for allowing us to celebrate our day at your beautiful venue!

We had my daughter's wedding at Melhorn Manor in June, 2023. The owners of the venue were so easy to work with and very accomodating to our needs. Both Jess and Allory were very 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.

Melhorn Manor was the first and ONLY venue that we toured when looking for a venue for both our ceremony and reception. After stepping on the property for the first time we instantly 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!

Melhorn Manor was the perfect place for our wedding. Allory and Jess helped us during booking, set up, and day of to make everything run smoothly. They were always an email, text, 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!

Before seeing the venue, we were already pretty much sold on using Melhorn Manor as our wedding venue after just speaking with Allory and Jessica. They are so down to earth and sweet, 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.

Choosing Melhorn Manor as or venue was the BEST decision we made for ourselves our wedding! We got married during COVID (I’m late to the review game, but just shows how much I felt 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.

We could not recommend a better place to celebrate a wedding! Jess and Allory are incredible to work with throughout the entire process. The best part about Melhorn Manor is you never 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!

I had my wedding here in October of 2022 and it was more than I could have ever dreamed it would be. The Melhorns are FANTASTIC to work with. From the moment we met them we knew we 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!!

They make sure that your day runs smoothy. They help repurpose decorations from the ceremony to the reception. They are AMAZING.

The Melhorn's do not disappoint. Starting from the time we met Allory and Jessica to the end of our wedding night we could not have asked for kinder people. They are both incredibly 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 :)

My wife and I got married at Melhorn Manor this past September, and the whole entire process was incredible. Jess and Allory were so kind, accommodating, and understanding. We booked 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!!!

Jess and Allory were so amazing and made everything go so flawlessly! It made our day just that more special.

Let me start by saying of your thinking about booking The Melhorn family do it. We searched a few other wedding venues and they by far offered way more for hell of a price. You definitely 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!

My wife and I are incredibly grateful for the Melhorn Family hosting such a perfect wedding venue where we were able to have the large wedding we wanted, including all of our most 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.

Jess and Allory were very professional and thorough throughout all stages of the planning and throughout the entire wedding day. The venue is absolutely stunning and the guests loved 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.

Jessica and Allory were fantastic from start to finish. The day we toured their venue we knew it was where we wanted to get married. They worked very closely with us during the process. 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.

My wife and I were in the need of a new venue when our previous venue would not help us during 2020 with covid, and Melhorn Manor could not have been a more PERFECT choice of a new 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!

This place is amazing! you have a full 12 hours to utilize the space. From the Bridal Suite to the Man Cave to the outdoor areas and all of the Barns to use, its absolutely breathtaking. 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!!

We found Melhorn through our wedding planner. It was only the second venue we toured but once we were done, we kne it was the one.
Allory met with us during our initial tour and was 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.

I can’t appreciate using Allory and Jess enough. The venue is gorgeous and being able to use all areas of the property is amazing. It’s a 12 hour day of rental and the day before you have 4 hours for set up of your decor if you choose. They have a few decor items you can use as well. They have a bridal suite and a groom suite. The groom suite is so cool and sold my husband. They have so many different ways to host your event there from the barns to a courtyard. You can pick our your vendors from their list which is huge and has so many options. You have a day of coordinator who helps your through the day and directing you in anything needed. Our photos came back so gorgeous! Jess is very quick to answer calls or texts throughout the process as well and was really helpful to keep me organized as well. We are so happy we were able to celebrate our wedding at Melhorn!

We absolutely LOVED Melhorn Manor! My husband and I got married there in October and all of my guests kept telling me how beautiful the venue is. Allory and Jess are so kind and helpful. They truly put me at ease during the whole planning process. You can tell that they deeply care about their couples having a great experience. They went above and beyond to help out with any questions we had and we felt so comfortable with them. I couldn’t recommend Melhorn Manor enough! They are also constantly updating the property to bring new features to get even more out of your experience. Stunning venue, wonderful people!!

Two years ago, my husband and I attended Melhorn's open house and fell in love. The fact that Jess and Allory put on such an event shows how much they care about their couples. From start to finish we were blown away with Melhorn. I loved all of the options we had on their property. I was someone who didn't want a room flip and Melhorn gives you options for your ceremony location which worked perfectly for us. Every space they have to offer is drop dead gorgeous. Jess is so amazing with keeping to a timeline and thinking of every little detail. Being a type A planner, I thought I had everything figured out. Jess was able to see the things I forgot and helped problem solve. Jess and Allory both ensured our day went as smooth as possible which allowed us to enjoy our special day. I can't say enough positive things about Melhorn. Let's do it all again !

We absolutely loved having our wedding reception at Melhorn Manor,. From the minute we met Jess & Allory we knew it was the right place for us. They were so helpful whenever we had any questions with planning our day. It Is such a beautiful setting, from the stables which provided an amazing space for our cocktail hour to the ballroom with its gorgeous woodwork & chandeliers. The bridal suite and the man cave are fantastic touches that make getting ready during the day of a blast! We could not be happier and will always be thankful that we were able to celebrate our wedding day at Melhorn Manor.

Melhorn Manor hosted my dream wedding! Jess and Allory were the best to work with. Super detail oriented, responsive, and organized. They made sure that every single detail, down to my husbands OCD of linen choices, was hammered out so that our day could be completely worry free. We received countless complements about how beautiful the venue was! I’d get married there again and again!

From our first visit to Melhorn Manor to our wedding day, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Allory and Jessica made us feel like friends rather than just a customer. They were there for us every step of the way. As a bride I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue. The bridal suite took my breath away and my husband loved the mancave. We highly recommend Melhorn Manor to any future couples. Exceeded all of our expectations!

We had our ceremony at Melhorn in December of 2020. Two days before, the Covid restrictions were announced and our caterer had to back out. Jess and Allory were SO flexible with us and though we couldn’t have the reception due to Covid, we were still able to use the beautiful venue to get ready, and ended up having our ceremony outside with our closest friends and family. Things changed minute by minute and Jess and Allory were patient and understanding. We had the best day! We moved our reception to this past November 2021, and again had a beautiful day. I recommend Melhorn Manor a million times over and I’m so thankful we found them and chose to have our wedding there! I never felt alone in the planning of our day(s) and am just so happy with everything that Melhorn did for us!

My husband and I got married at Melhorn Manor on October 16th, 2021. From our first tour of the venue until after our wedding day, Jess and Allory were absolutely amazing to work with. They truly care for their couples getting married and are extremely accommodating. Not only are Jess and Allory amazing, but their entire staff is as well. The venue is even more beautiful in person and they truly helped me make my dream wedding come true!

My husband and I had our wedding this October at Melhorn Manor and it was everything and more that we dreamed of. We are so happy that we went with Melhorn Manor to host our wedding. The venue has so many special and unique touches from the different chandeliers to the beautiful courtyard. We fell in love with every aspect of Melhorn Manor. Our guests all traveled more than 2 hours and couldn't stop saying how beautiful the venue was. The owners, Jess and Allory, add to the 5 star experience with their attentiveness and support from beginning to end of the wedding planning process. When we had to postpone due to the pandemic, they were understanding and helpful. Any time I had a question, they were quick to respond and help along the way. They made our wedding day stress free and memorable. Our wedding felt just as special as the day we got married thanks to Jess and Allory. I would definitely recommend Mehlorn Manor if you want a unique rustic venue with caring owners. Melhorn Manor has a true rustic charm that you can't find at any other venue!

My husband and I got married in February 2021, it was the most perfect day and we were blessed with finding Melhorn Manor to bring to life the wedding reception we always wanted. The year leading up to our day, COVID was taking over the wedding industry. The Melhorns were absolutely everything we needed for months before the wedding and on our wedding day. They were both incredibly responsive no matter what time of the day. They worked with us to bring our vision to life, offered decor and no idea was too crazy for them. They are contracted with incredible vendors that offered services that had varied pricing and they led us to the perfect caterer. They kept us organized when we were setting up and on schedule during our reception. They also gave a military discount which sweetened the deal! They were so much fun to work with, we connected with them both and they made the experience one that we will never forget. If Mount Joy is a good central place for your special day, stop looking and call the Allory and Jess Melhorn!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Melhorn Manor. If you are looking for a more upscale barn venue with different spaces for each part of your day, this is the place for you. Allory and Jess were helpful, responsive, and caring throughout the entire process - from our first tour through our wedding day. They genuinely care about their property and the couples who create memories here. Jess even bustled my dress for me when I couldn't find my MOH :)

We had our wedding at Melhorn Manor this past September and it was absolutely incredible! Jessica and Allory were so kind and amazing to work with throughout the whole process. I was nervous about not hiring a planner/coordinator, but Jessica was so helpful during our meetings prior to the wedding she answered all of my questions and acted as our coordinator day of. I loved that they had a whole list of rental items that they provided for free (easel for welcome sign, table number holders, etc.) it really helped us with last minute wedding decor. The venue itself is so gorgeous and had everything that we wanted in a venue. I could not recommend Melhorn Manor more!

Jess and Allory were SO helpful in the planning process as well as making sure events ran smoothly the day of our wedding! The historical Tobacco Barn was the perfect setting for our ceremony and felt so quaint and homey! The Stables were so gorgeous we didn't have to do too much decorating as they were already breathtaking! There was a very personal feel throughout the whole process and it felt like we were part of the family!

One of the best wedding decisions we made. The owners were with us from beginning to end and quick to answer any questions along the way. They even had some loaner items on hand for extra decor. They eased a lot of the jitters, and everyone had a great time.

Jess and Allory were simply awesome! Not only do they keep a stunning wedding that all our guests commented about, but they're also just great people. They get to know you, and really do everything they can to make your wedding day as perfect and stress-free as possible. They were so accommodating, flexible, kind, and so much more. The venue is so beautiful and versatile and has so many great spaces for guests. We truly couldn't have asked for a better venue for our big day!

Melhorn Manor is gorgeous, but the real winner here is the owners. Kind, flexible, relaxed, and effective, Allory and Jessica were there for us every step of the way through planning the wedding, and then dealing with COVID. The facility is great - large, plenty of parking, idyllic Lancaster county setting, rustic but with modern amenities, but again, you can probably find all that other places. What you can't always find is owners who work with you as attentively as Melhorn Manor's owners. Thanks Jessica and Allory!
