Norlyn Manor

that you will ever meet! Lynne has this calmness about her that will put any nervous bride at ease. Joe was wonderful with all of the little details of our wedding from setting up our place cards to greeting our guests! They are your built in wedding planners as well. They offer indoor and outdoor ceremony options. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how unique and special. Everyone said it was one of the most intimate, romantic weddings that they had ever attended. I would highly recommend Norlyn Manor to anyone looking to have an intimate wedding. I PROMISE you will not be disappointed. I loved it so much that my husband and I hope to go back soon for one of their other events!

with us throughout the wedding planning process and were prompt on answering all of our questions or whenever we reached out to them. They also make their own food there so you don't need to worry about finding a caterer and their food is awesome! We had a very large wedding (about 350 guests) and Norlyn Manor fit everyone perfectly. We were able to come to Norlyn Manor the day before the wedding and tell them exactly how we wanted everything set up. They set everything up for you and take everything down for you at the end of the night which is a HUGE plus! When my husband and I walked into our reception on the wedding day we were blown away! They set everything up exactly how we wanted and it looked amazing! Many of the guests were telling us how beautiful the place was! We were very very happy we chose to have our reception at Norlyn Manor and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reception venue!

e. The staff who worked our reception were wonderful. The food was also delicious - I suggest the Swiss Chicken & Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin. I would definitely recommend the Norlyn Manor to any bride-to-be especially if they want a stress-free planning process!

stroom... Which is important because all my bridesmaids had to help with my dress so I could pee. 10/10. (:

ion for most of our guests. The food and drink service was excellent, and at a reasonable price. I loved that it was a family run business; that made it easy to get a hold of someone with any questions or inquiries. And I greatly appreciated that they did all of the set up and clean up...Big Bonus! The only downside was that we did not have access to the venue until an hour and half before the ceremony, but we wanted to arrive sooner. Which we were able to do, but had to pay extra :/ Other than that, the venue and service was wonderful and I would definitely refer other brides on the East side to Norlyn. Ask for Lynne :)

ings wrong on our contract with the venue and we noticed we were being over charged by over $1,000. We sent Lynne an email to meet and go over the charges; she fixed everything without a problem. On our wedding day and the encounters following our wedding day, the venue lost stars from me and my now husband. Issues with the venue listed below: •My husband and I paid an extra $300 to have the bridal room an extra 3 hours prior to the wedding (only 1.5 hours is included in ceremony/reception pricing). We were told by Lynne that we would have a maitre’d that would pretty much wait on everyone in the bridal room. She said, “if you forgot something and needed it, they’d go get it for you.” I saw Lynne once during pictures and she offered me the $18 round of mimosas I purchased. Then through the rest of getting ready in the bridal room up to the ceremony, I saw one woman twice who never introduced herself. She brought in a tray of mimosas and she came in one other time when we had an issue with the toilet connected to the bridal suite. •When I finally had a break from pictures, I asked two of my bridesmaids to go check on the chapel and see how it was set up since we hadn’t been back there. They told me that none of the programs or petal tosses had been passed out how I asked the venue to do days prior. My bridesmaids, now husband, and some groomsmen set out all of the programs and petal tosses on all of the chairs. •The ceremony started at 6:30, we had no one to tell us when to make our way to the chapel, no one to tell pairs to walk down the aisle, and no one of close the doors before my entrance. No one from the venue assisted during the ceremony processional. My aunt did this job and didn’t get to sit during our whole ceremony—embarrassing! •We paid an extra $1.50/person to have roast beef as one of our entrees on the buffet. I found out that the last 5 tables didn’t get to choose between chicken or beef since the venue had run out of beef. Very disappointing that we paid extra, had at least ten guests unable to make it to the wedding (but included in the numbers), and we still ran out of beef. •A tip to the venue (18%) is included in your contract/bill, yet the bar still put out a tip jar for our OPEN bar. After the wedding day, I’d give the venue four stars, but then more things happened. •My mom went to pick up all of our decorations the following Monday. When my mom was telling Lynne the issues we encountered (listed above), Lynne got an attitude and stated, “Well do you only have complaints about me? Are you just going to complain?” My mom stated that she was only the messenger and that there were amazing parts to the day, everything looked beautiful, but the venue staff were no where to be found prior to the reception. Lynne replied with, “well, you could’ve just went and found someone.” If a maitre’d is included in my price for the bridal suite, I shouldn’t have to hunt someone down to cater to me! •One of my decorations was returned to me broken. •A part of my decor was almost thrown away! (Remotes/boxes for battery operated candles) •The swag I made for the arch wasn’t returned until my mom looked for it/asked about it Beautiful venue, but lacking customer service in some areas.

odations for every request I had and I loved how laid back they were about everything. The pricing was affordable and the venue is very elegant and beautiful. All services and food provided were above any expectations or standards we had. I would recommend Norlyn Manor to anyone not only for a wedding but any other event they are planning as well.

ing and "run the show." From the beginning, Joe and the event center staff were very communicative in the process of quotes, contracts, and booking. We were able to have a wonderful wedding at a completely reasonable price, which is nearly impossible in the area. All-inclusive is the way to go! Did not have to worry about a thing. The only extras we had to pay for were cake, photographer, flowers, dj, and smaller things that we wanted like guestbook. The day-of wedding staff was AMAZING. I do not give compliments lightly. I grew up in theatre and they were like the most perfect stage managers any cast or director could ask for. I did not have to worry about a THING. Even the things that I forgot, I just asked if they could do (like I decided not to change for my send-off because I was having too much fun), and they did it with the most efficiency and grace. I cannot say enough good things about them for day-of coordination. Planning a wedding was still stressful (obviously), but there were so few things I had to worry about before because of their comprehensive bridal packet. During, I literally felt like my most trusted companions were taking care of everything with the same care I would give. The food was incredible. Guests were raving about the food and drinks. We requested steak and different sides, and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals of my life. Then, they packed up the leftovers for us and we got to enjoy them all over again the next day! They have weddings down to a formula without everyone feeling like they followed a formula. Our wedding felt unique and our own. We're very grateful to the owner and staff.

we were blown away. Every other venue we toured just didn't measure up to the incredible feeling we got from Bob and his staff. Their attention to detail is top-notch! The communication was excellent and thorough. I explained to Lynne exactly what I wanted and they delivered. They are attentive, patient, organized, and know how to throw a party! My husband and I, our parents, and all of our guests were treated like royalty the entire night. Of all the weddings and events they have there, I felt as though they treated our wedding as their top priority. They CARE, and they want your night to be special! I would re-live our wedding over again 1,000 times! Norlyn Manor definitely earned a special place in our hearts. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us!

perience. Joe was the absolute best coordinator, he went above and beyond for us and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. My now husband, our parents and family have nothing but great things to say about Joe, Bob, Lynne and staff at Norlyn Manor!

e day is a perfect as possible. As this was the first wedding we ever hosted, Joe did an excellent job in guiding through the planning process. He was patient with any question we had and really wanted to make sure that our daughter’s requests were met. Joe’s experience in this role really showed when he offered suggestions to make the day even more perfect. The professionalism of the entire staff was evident in the way they offered the food tasting, the details listed on the planning sheets, the dress of the staff the evening of the event, the quality of the food served (both during the cocktail hour and dinner), and the cleanliness of the entire facility. It was top notch all of the way. While we did have a contract that outlined the expected services, Joe and the staff went well beyond the contractual obligations. When it came time for our daughter to leave her room to go to the ceremony space, Joe personally led her through a back path in the facility to insure none of the guests (or groom) had a sneak peek at the bride-to-be. Also, while we were getting family pictures after the ceremony, the serving staff provided hand served hors d'oeuvres to our families in the ceremony room. This was all quite unexpected…but wonderful! The kitchen and wait staff did an excellent job in preparing and serving 170 meals that were just as tasty and fresh as the food provided during our food tasting meeting. Norlyn Manor is a very special place to hold a wedding. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a 5-star facility and staff in the Dayton-Cincinnati region schedule a meeting with Joe to see what they can do for you!

ng dinner was efficient, and all of the staff was accommodating. The venue really did everything they could to make it as stress free for us as possible. As an out of town bride, they made it easy for me to contact them by phone and email whenever I had a question. I would definitely recommend Norlyn Manor for both ceremonies and receptions. I couldn't have asked for a better venue.

every detail that we went over. Third, the food was great and the price was reasonable. If you are looking anywhere on the east side of town, make sure you check out Norlyn Manor before you make up your mind.

le to relax and have fun rather than worrying about anything.

tly at the time we had asked and exactly the way we wanted. All of our guests kept commenting on how beautiful and nice everything was. We truly had the perfect wedding.

lk about everything and relive the day over and over again. If you have not looked at the Norlyn Manor for your wedding, do so before you book anywhere else.

and the service is better.

are so nice. We really wanted to get married outside, and we did, and the pictures turned out so well. The food was great, and the service was excellent. Our bartenders did such a wonderful job. All of our guests had a super fun time. You guys are great.

and the food was amazing. I can't say enough about it. I heard a lot of compliments from our guests about everything. The bridal room was so nice for the girls to get ready in. Thank you for making our day so special! I am happy to give a personal review as well.
