We have all of the modern amenities you could want for a wedding, while still capturing the original historic charm of the property and its buildings. Not only will you find many of the architectural elements from the original barns (wood beams, stone walls, wooden flooring, etc.) still in place, but also many various upgrades. These improvements include year-round climate control, elevator access for disabled guests, bright dressing areas for perfect getting-ready photos, and beautiful landscaping for the ideal backdrop to your big day.

Reviewed On 1/20/2021 by Madison P
Jess and Allory are an amazing vendor to work with!!!! You need to book your wedding at Melhorn Manor- I promise you that you wont be disappointed! In the beginning of our wedding venue search- we went to about six different venues and the day ...
we set foot and had our one on one tour, we had a gut feeling that this was where we were supposed to get married. They took so much time explaining everything to us and giving us an amazing tour! They are a business, but you can tell this means more to them! They put their heart and soul into this business and they have an amazing way of really make you feel like you are their family and they would do anything for us to make our day perfect, and boy they did for sure! And then the pandemic happened which threw a wrench into our planning, but having Jess and Allory to lean on literally saved us! They were literally a text or phone call away- any time of the day- they were there for us answering our questions and helping us navigate our wedding day and helping coordinate with all the vendors as well! They sent out so many updates to all the couples keeping them updated on guidelines and new rules that needed to be followed and what the next steps were- they were so thorough. And then five days before our wedding, we didn’t hear from our bartending service and other weddings/couples were having issues with this company. Jess and Allory heard about the situation and already made calls and had their own staff lined up to work our wedding, and did all of this on their own so we didn’t have to stress about it! No other venue would do that for you!!! They got all the supplies and mixers, they literally SAVED the day! Jess was actually bartending 9 months pregnant helping out- I’m telling you this couple is AMAZING and will do whatever it takes to make our wedding day run smoothly and the best for us and our guests! EVERYONE at our wedding said they had such an amazing time! Greg and I owe a lot of that to Jess and Allory! We are so thankful for all of your help, support and guidance planning our best day ever! And we are so lucky to have gained a new friendship! <3

photographer put us in contact with Melhorn Manor and to our surprise they had an opening on our original wedding date and they were willing to book us last minute! They also helped us get a new caterer last minute and ultimately re-plan an entire wedding in 2 weeks. Needless to say our wedding day turned out just as beautiful and perfect as if I spent a year planning it. Allory and Jess are so kind and accommodating they truly are in the business to see love flourish and make memories for couples that will last a life time. I cannot say enough great things about not only the owners but also the beautiful venue.

Throughout the process they went above and beyond to cater to our needs. Through quarantine, covid restrictions, all the way to the day of. They were kind, caring, and answered any/every question we had. The venue...my goodness, it speaks for itself. We had our ceremony in the courtyard, then went to indoor/outdoor cocktail hour, then reception in the barn. It was perfect. Pictures were incredible as they have so much space on the property. I could go on and on, but i'll just say that Jessica and Allory opened up their venue to us and made us feel right at home. It was the best day ever, and we have Melhorn Manor to thank for it!

exts, calls, and emails, they were quick to get back to us with answers to any questions we may have had...and we certainly had a lot of them! They were so patient in working with us to make sure our day was exactly what we had imagined! We were consistently welcomed back to take another tour or show family members our future reception location, whenever we asked! Although Melhorn Manor is absolutely BEAUTIFUL on its own, the experience of working with Allory and Jess was one that we couldn't find anywhere else. We felt like our needs and wants were truly listened to. They made our reception run seamlessly, and we could not have been happier with how everything turned out! They made our vision of a Christmas wedding absolutely perfect. From the beautiful Christmas decorations, to the many lights both in- and outside the venue, it was exactly what we were looking for. We even lucked out with a 60-degree day, and they quickly got the yard games out for us, as I had requested. Our guests loved spending some time outside during Cocktail Hour, while playing some Cornhole and other games. No matter what season your wedding is, you are bound to have an amazing experience and beautiful scenery at Melhorn Manor. The bridal suite and man cave are sure to please as well! The boys loved having two TVs and plenty of games to occupy their time downstairs. The girls loved the rustic vibe of the bridal suite, and it was the perfect space for getting ready for my special day! Overall, our experience at Melhorn Manor is one that we will continue to tell people about for the rest of our lives. If you are looking for a rustic, classy, and lovely wedding venue, this is the place. We could not have better things to say about it!

Above all else, their communication is spectacular. When you're planning a wedding there are so many things to keep track of, so having venue hosts that are easy to communicate with is SO important.

Melhorn Manor was an amazing venue, but their owners and staff were even better. After my fiancé and I visited another venue, we felt like we were getting dishonest responses and the venue wasn’t willing to work with us. I called Melhorn Manor ...
the next day and scheduled an appointment. My fiancé and I fell in love with the venue and felt even more comfortable with it after meeting the owners - Jess and Allory. They went out of their way to show us the venue, tell us about its history, and how couples have used it in the past. Allory and Jess were fun, helpful, and honest. They sold us on the venue 5 months ago, and we just had our wedding at Melhorn last night. Jess and Allory were fantastic hosts, came up to us throughout the night to check in, and were there to answer any questions. We had the most amazing experience. Our wedding was beautiful, our guests raved over the venue’s natural beauty, and we danced the night away. Melhorn Manor gave us our dream wedding at a more affordable cost than so many other venues in the area. Thank you, Jess and Allory!

My husband and I cannot recommend Melhorn Manor enough! We both live and work overseas, so the majority of our pre-wedding planning/coordinating with them actually had to happen online. They were extremely helpful, patient, understanding, quick...
to respond, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure that we had all the necessary information, and all of our questions answered. When we did get back to the USA a month before the wedding and were able to actually go to Melhorn Manor and meet Allory and Jess in person, we continued to be impressed. They are so personable, and it is clear that they honestly want to make each couple’s wedding day absolutely amazing. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous; all of our guests commented on that as well! It is stylish, spacious, clean, and is kept up extremely well. The location of the venue is great, too. It is in a nice quiet area, but has convenience stores, grocery stores, etc. nearby for any last-minute needs. It also has plenty of parking. Allory and Jess helped us with everything from figuring out the layout of the reception and the general timing plan of our wedding day, to on the wedding day itself, making sure that things ran perfectly smoothly—even offering to take care of big and small details here and there, like helping with the set up of the ceremony location on their property that we chose (there are several options!), making sure our guest book was moved from one place to the next as guests moved from cocktail hour to the actual reception, totally facilitating the sparkler sendoff, and Jess just checking on me (the bride) throughout the day to make sure I was doing ok. I felt so much less stress on the wedding day than I thought I would, all because of the help they gave with these details and many more. I didn’t have to be worrying about things running perfectly smoothly, because they took care of it! Like we said, we can’t say enough good things about Allory and Jess and Melhorn Manor. The way our process went with them, from beginning to end, was wonderful!

The only thing I'm upset about is that we don't get to work with them or discuss our big day anymore - but I will be sure to suggest this venue to anyone I possibly can. There's no better wedding or event venue in PA. Thank you, Jess and Allory, for making my wedding more magical than I ever could have imagined. I can't recommend this venue enough.

c to work with. The venue is beautiful, no expense has been spared, the parking is fantastic, the property is overall impeccable. It was important for us to work with a venue who cared. We didn’t want to be just another couple that the venue books to fill the weekend. We never felt like that! We developed a great working relationship and they aided us tremendously in making our day perfect. We knew that they would be there if anything went wrong, which it didn’t! They were willing to let us customize the spaces within reason, giving it a personal feeling. Too many other venues told us the space is what it is. Definitely not the case here. Love love love and highly recommend these passionate owners and their beautiful venue.

There are so many incredible things I want to say about Melhorn Manor that I don't even know where to begin! First off, the owners, Jess and Allory Melhorn, are so incredibly sweet and truly care about making your special day as perfect as you ...
hoped it to be. They do SO much more than a typical venue owner (I know from working in the wedding industry) which is amazing. Their venue is breathtaking! My now husband and I booked with them before the construction on the barn was complete and the final look of everything is just gorgeous. All our guest were so impressed with how beautiful and spacious everything is (and we had over 190 guests attending!). On top of how beautiful everything is, they also have the option for air conditioning or heat depending on when you get married. We got married in October so we had no idea what the weather would be like but we didn't need to stress about it because we knew our guest would be comfortable no matter what the weather was! The venue also offers a bridal suite and grooms room to get ready in. My bridesmaids loved getting ready in the Bridal Suite! There was a lot of natural lighting for the make-up artists and the hair stylist to have while getting everyone ready (this was also a huge plus for the photographer and videographer!). M husband and his guys had a great time relaxing in the groom's​ room - he said he actually wish he went to hang out there earlier in the day because of how much fun him and his groomsmen had! If you are looking for a perfect barn for your rustic/ elegant wedding, look no further! Book with Jess and Allory today and you will have the perfect wedding venue there is :) Thank you guys so much again for all that you did!!

The venue itself is simply beautiful and minimal decor was needed to make it look stunning. You can see the love and care that has gone into updating and maintaining such a beautiful estate.
