We hosted our daughter's wedding here in December of 2023 and it was magnificent. The Mansion near Christmas time was magical and I cannot say enough about the quality and class of the entire experience. The food was repeatedly deemed "the best we've ever had at any wedding" and we loved the multiple rooms that allowed our guests to meander throughout the evening. We were blessed with very warm weather in December and even used the awesome patio for cocktails, cigars, and pictures. And I also highly recommend the upgraded Pepino room for the bride to get ready. We arrived at 9:00 am and it was the perfect, relaxing place for all of us to get ready while the groom and his men were in the complimentary suite. This arrangement proved to be ideal for the photographer and videographer team as well. While we did not have the ceremony here, we loved every aspect of our reception and we often look at the pictures with very fond memories.

We had our wedding of just under 200 guests at the Carriage House and it was nothing short of perfect! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all at the venue and everything went so smooth. The coordination with staff ahead of the event was seamless - from any random question I had to finalization of everything and setting up the day of. The food was fantastic and the cherry on top was our late night pretzel bar - our guests still can't stop raving about it! The grounds were beautiful for taking pictures, including the garden up by the Mansion where we took some of our bridal photos, everything was so picturesque.
Ultimately everything went off without a hitch and I would definitely recommend this venue to any couple searching for their perfect wedding spot :)

I can’t say enough good things about the Pine Knob Mansion!! The staff, the food, the venue itself…all amazing. Brigette was so extremely helpful and enjoyable to work with, and she truly helped make our wedding incredible. All of our guests were so complimentary of the venue and we had the BEST time!

The mansion is absolutely gorgeous for a fall wedding, but the staff/management there isn’t super accommodating. We booked the mansion for our wedding reception in 2020, but our wedding date wasn’t until Oct 2022. In-between that time frame, new management took over and that’s when we started having some issues. I highly suggest hiring a wedding coordinator/event planner for your reception, even though pine knob includes an “event manager” with your package. The event manager at pine knob does not guarantee that they will be able to help with any set up or take down and you only have 30 mins after your reception ends to clean up/pack up all of your belongings or else you get fined. It seems that they also are short staffed, as they can’t guarantee a beef carver to work the beef carving station if you choose that as one of your food options. We weren’t impressed at our food tasting, but the food on our wedding day was outstanding. We did the buffet option and a lot of our guests commented on how good the food was as well. All in all, it’s a beautiful venue, but it seems they could use some help.

Our wedding 10/7 at the Carriage House was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Every single staff member we worked with from beginning to end was amazing. Brigette was very helpful in answering questions throughout the entire process. Curt was awesome and always friendly. He took my photographer, videographer, husband, and I on the golf cart to quickly get to some ideal photo locations by the garden/top of the mountain area. It was cold that day and he had a blanket ready for me which was so thoughtful. I forgot my bouquet at the top of the mountain and he made a special trip up to get it just in time for the bridal party entrance. Anne was with me on my wedding day and was so accommodating and made me feel way less nervous. She checked in on us all night, boxed our dinners, fluffed my dress before I walked down the aisle, and much more. It’s really the little things that make such a big difference in the grand scheme of things. Our guests raved about the food and how perfectly it was prepared and still hot when served. We would recommend Pine Knob to anyone getting married, you will not regret it!

We had such an amazing experience at Pine Knob Mansion. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, mostly because of this beautiful setting. The on site coordinator, Brigette, was so helpful and answered so many of my questions. She was always available and very organized. We did a plated dinner and the food was delicious and there was so much of it! The wait staff was also great. We had two bars and the bartenders were so officiant and did a great job. My out of town guests were in awe of how great the food and service was. I highly recommend!

Our wedding at Pine Knob Mansion was everything we wanted and more! There were some initial personnel changes along the way, but everything the day of turned out wonderfully and Brigette was amazing, as well as the catering staff and bartenders. Everyone had a great time and even now, over a month later, is still complimenting the night. Everyone LOVED the food, even after our chicken was slightly changed, the venue was beautiful and everyone was very nice and accommodating, even after we had to delay for rain. Would definitely recommend!

100% would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a one-stop shop. We had a lot of guests come in from out of town so it was important that we have our ceremony and reception in one place. With so many people traveling and making arrangements with us, it helped so much to have food & bar already crossed off out list with PK as well. The tasting was amazing and really helped us feel confident our guests would be satisfied. Our coordinator was amazing and incredibly easy to get a hold of. I never felt like I was asking annoying questions or asking for too much. The staff was so helpful the day of, we were really able to enjoy our day, and the staff even made sure my husband and I got a plate and made time to eat :) We chose the Carriage House and got so many lovely compliments from our guests which really confirmed for us that we made the right choice with Pine Knob.

Our wedding at Pine Knob Mansion was a dream come true! The ceremony in the courtyard overlooking the beautiful view of the ski hill was breathtaking and the beauty of the mansion itself helped make the day a memorable one. The staff at Pine Knob was so helpful. Brigette was so helpful and understanding during the planning process. On the day of, Brigette and Katrina were indispensable helping coordinate the wedding party and making sure everything ran smoothly. Finally - the food was so delicious! We got a lot of compliments from our guests on the food and the beauty of the venue itself. Would recommend!

If it were possible to give a venue more than 5 stars, I'd do it for Pine Knob! My daughter and her husband were married at the mansion on 5/28/22 and it was the most perfect place for them to exchange vows and begin their lives together.
The natural beauty of the mansion is unparalleled. The mansion itself is exquisitely maintained and the grounds are impeccably groomed. The people with whom my daughter and her husband worked with were responsive and professional. The wait staff and bar tenders were professional and personable. The bridal suite is the PERFECT place for the bride and her party to get ready.
The food was delicious! It arrived hot and tasted incredible. Our guests had a choice between a beef and chicken duet, a vegetarian meal, or a vegan meal and I heard nothing but rave reviews about all of it!
There were about 125 guests at the wedding and the dining room accommodated them all with some room to spare.
Pine Knob Mansion is an absolute jewel and I'm so glad our daughter's wedding was there!

“The best wedding I have ever been to” was said to me what felt like hundreds of times on my wedding day all thanks to the venue. The food is amazing, Bridgett is amazing and so easy to work with, the venue is stunning and the staff is so gracious. If I was to ever need this type of venue again I would use it in a heart beat. No complaints at all.

Pine Knob Mansion was a dream come true. My daughter had the most beautiful winter wedding at Pine Knob Mansion. Brigette, wedding coordinator, went above and beyond to create a beautiful winter wedding. My daughter had exactly what she hoped for, a beautiful romantic winter wedding. The food was delicious, with more than enough food than you can possibly eat. Also very accommodating for vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free meals. The appetizers were plentiful for our guests. The service was impeccable by the entire team, starting with valet parking to food service to coat check and to everything in between. Thank you Pine Knob Mansion for creating a beautiful wedding for my daughter and son-in-law.

I felt like I was stepping out of a fairy tale for our December wedding at the Pine Knob Mansion and reception at the carriage house! All of the holiday decorations were up including a massive wreath along the stained glass window in the carriage house that was the end of our aisle. Bridgette and Kurt were amazing and made sure all of our guests were properly directed and fed! The food was absolutely top notch, although from our tasting where we loved every single dish we knew it would be awesome. They even worked with us to buy cases of craft beers that my husband and I love to serve to guests! They are truly dedicated to making your day as perfect as they can, with Kurt even running out to shovel snow that had fallen that morning off of the patio for our wedding party to take photos. The only possible thing that could have been better was some of the communication with Pine Knob Staff about all the details of our wedding as we initially booked the venue before Bridgette started at Pine Knob, so there was some miscommunications at first. However, Bridgette and Kurt worked with us to make sure we had everything we wanted and more.

We got married at the Carriage House and it was absolutely perfect. The team is easy to work with and get ahold of. The food was absolutely amazing, people still talk about our menu. The venue is beautiful and there are lots of places to take pictures. The servers were GREAT!!! Very friendly and listened to us and our guests. They have a beautiful bridal suite that myself and bridesmaids got ready at. You will not be disappointed you booked here.

The newest coordinator Brigette was a dream, and Kurt was incredible. Brigette was my main point of contact throughout the day and Kurt at night. The food was phenomenal, everybody RAVED. I had so many people available to assist, even after a small hiccup with my photography, everything turned out beautifully. We had a great party and I am thrilled I chose The Carriage House for my friends and family.

While my wedding day was magical, I am disheartened by the way my husband, myself, and our family were treated by the wedding coordinator, Corinna, and the General Manager Kurt .
Two months prior to my 9.19.2020 wedding Pine Knob contacted us regarding new packages they had created to accommodate Covid-19 restrictions. My husband and I decided to go with the ceremony only package and just have a small wedding ceremony. Pine Knob made changes as needed and was easy to work with.
Then two weeks prior to my wedding, Pine knob contacted me stating that the wedding that would occur on 9.20.2020, the day after mine, had rented a tent that would need to go up the Thursday before our wedding and would be in the background as we said I do. They then retracted this statement to say the tent was actually a permanent structure for the rest of the 2020 wedding season which we would realize was a lie on our golf trip the following weekend.
I know what you are thinking, a little dramatic over a tent. However, we tried to reason with them to delay the tent, offering extra money to put it up after our ceremony as we understood that they may be facing financial distress due to COVID. Pine know gave us three options:
1. A full refund and to go elsewhere, which was not an option 2 weeks out.
2. Be married in their Garden area which had no lighting and would be dangerous to walk down to in heels and a large ball gown.
3. Drape the polls in the background with Garza. Note the polls were not the issue, the tent being visible in the background was the problem.
As we had no choice we decided to continue on with the tent and we never uttered the words that we were considering canceling and I accepted that this was just another thing I had to deal with.
Now this is what upset me most, the day of I requested that the doors be open an hour early for hair and makeup. Which was confirmed the night before with Corinna. When arriving the doors were locked and no one would answer phones. Fast forward to 1.5 hours before the ceremony, there are no Pine Knob staff to be found and when the GM finally showed up he began putting out lawn chairs, my mother then informed him we wanted Chivari chairs. He began yelling and pointing at her claiming that we had canceled and that he had been trying to reach us all week, a lie that we later confirmed with our phone records.
When I confronted them the next day, they did not apologize for being rude to my mother they simply said they were sorry I was unhappy and began to try and blame everything on me and claim they also offered that I get married on the golf course, which they did not, I have the emails to prove it. They also claimed we did not provide a guest count and all the final details, which I have email proof we provided it the same day they asked.
While I am happy for the couple who's wedding ran smoothly the day after ours, I am truly upset that the staff at Pine Knob felt they could not accommodate both couples and would treat us as if we were inferior and a bother to them.

Our wedding at Pine Knob was absolutely perfect! Corrina and the rest of their team was so great at communicating with us and working out a plan post-Covid. The wedding planning process went very smoothly and our questions were always answered. On the day of the wedding, Corrina was very involved and even helped my husband and the groomsmen fix their boutonnieres before walking down the aisle. As for the rest of the staff, they were very professional and we got several compliments about the service. I would highly recommend!

We were married at the Pine Knob Mansion. Overall, the experience was okay. The communication was sub-par in regards to planning the event and the woman we had communicated with in planning quit the week before our wedding. Kurt picked up the pieces and worked really hard to make some last minute changes due to rain. He was very kind and accommodating prior to the event and during the day of. The rain definitely threw a few things off. We still had a great time and people seemed to enjoy the food.
Keep in mind you are only allotted half an hour for clean up time. My entire family was hustling in making sure everything was cleaned up and loaded into vehicles when another "manager" approached. He was extremely rude and unreasonable. Everyone was working very hard in getting things out of the building and he proceeded to constantly count down the minutes until we HAD to be out. He even locked my mom inside the building! It would have been a different story if we were standing around doing nothing, but everyone was hustling!

Pine Knob Mansion was our dream wedding venue. Gorgeous property with exceptional ability to wow guests on your big day. Staff and food are excellent. All things possible to set up the property just the way you like it. The ability to take photos in and around the property, have the ceremony, and reception all in one location really allows for the day to be as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. We truly enjoyed working with the staff to get our day planned and everything looked perfect. Thank you!

I was supposed to get married at Pine Knob today, February 6th, 2021. We ended up postponing and moving our location because there were no dates available at Pine Knob that we wanted. I still felt obligated to leave a review because through all of this heartbreak and disappointment of postponing our wedding during the pandemic, Angie and Corinna were absolutely amazing. They kept my hopes high that we might be able to have our wedding on our original date, but they also were realistic and empathetic. I’ve heard so many horror stories about couples not getting their money back when they have to postpone or cancel their weddings, but Pine Knob mailed me a check reimbursing every cent we paid to them. The venue was so beautiful and well maintained and I knew that if we still had our wedding there, Angie and Corinna would help us execute the day perfectly. While it didn’t work out for our wedding, I can’t wait to host a different event there in the future!

I could rave on and on ALL DAY about how amazing Pine Knob is for events!! From our first tour, my husband and I knew we needed to have our wedding at the Pine Knob Carriage House. It is in a convenient and BEAUTIFUL location and the staff is so knowledgable and responsive. The Gardens up by the Mansion for our pictures were also so perfect for our photos! Then we had our food tasting and WOW, it was hard to narrow down what we wanted for our big day because it was all amazing. Leading up to our wedding, Corinna was an absolute angel to work with and we made a great team. Whenever she was out of office, Angie was fantastic to talk to as well! Then our big day arrived. I cannot explain how wonderful the whole team was to work alongside for my big day and there was no one else I would have rather worked with. I cannot picture my wedding happening anywhere else with any one other than Corinna and her team! They made us feel so special the entire time and did not let some rain on and off get in the way. Corinna made sure everything stayed on track while also talking to me throughout the night. I am pretty laid back so Corinna helped me make decisions and made everything so perfect and flawless. I highly recommend Pine Knob Carriage House (and Mansion but I was at the Carriage House!). LONG STORY SHORT: Corinna (and Angie) and their whole team are fantastic, the scenery is gorgeous, they are very accommodating and knowledgeable, very responsive, the food is amazing, and they will always have my highest recommendation! :)

Pine Knob was absolutely the best venue we could have imagined. We were not an easy couple. Between huge changes to the guest list and changing the date, Covid controlled us a lot more than we wished. Pine Knob (and Corinna especially) made our wedding perfect. They had a “no problem” attitude for any obstacle we overcame, offered us back up dates when we weren’t sure when our parents would be able to fly in from India, and let us change our minds about countless things.
With all the stress of a pandemic wedding, the venue did not add to any of it at all. They were constantly supportive and flexible and I can’t recommend them enough.
Day of, the venue was gorgeous!!! Rent the bridal suite, you will not want to miss it. Corinna was there the entire time helping us out and the day was so smooth and perfect. The food was AMAZING and there was a lot more of it than I thought there would be. My big recommendation is to bring your own chargers because they were great on the table. If you are thinking twice about this venue, absolutely go for it. For the wedding pictures alone, the venue is gorgeous. For the wedding day stress, they accommodate and plan out the day. Pine Knob Mansion is the perfect venue!

I do not have enough wonderful things to say about this venue. We we originally supposed to get married in May of 2020 but due to the pandemic had to postpone. They made doing that super easy. Our new wedding date ended up still have multiple guidelines but they did everything that could to make it as easy and beautiful as possible. The entire reception had to be moved outside and it drizzled up until dinner. Their staff was wonderful at keeping things covered and wiping down chairs. We still had a wonderful wedding and the sun came out for dinner. The food was amazing, every guest raved about it. They were kind and reassuring during the whole process. Absolutely amazing people to work with. Brought my stress level from a 10 to a 2. I can't say it enough, amazing venue.

11/10!! Everything about Pine Knob was absolutely perfect. From the staff, to the grounds, to the food. Little did we know when we booked with them that we would be thrown a pandemic sized curve ball. We communicated ALL the time about our options and were so fortunate to still be able to pull off the wedding of our dreams. Our ceremony was at the mansion and the reception at the carriage house (all outside) to accommodate social distancing and governor orders. Thank you PK!!

They were so accommodating during all of our plan changes due to COVID, and with some flexibility and creativity, we were still able to have our dream wedding at the mansion! They have everything you need on site so you don’t need to coordinate with and pay separate vendors for linens, chairs, catering, etc. We loved our Pine Knob Mansion wedding!!

We had a perfect winter wedding at The Mansion. We found the staff to be more than accommodating throughout the entire process. From the initial tour, to the tasting, to the finalizing of details, the wedding coordinators went above and beyond to make our day as perfect as possible. The Peppino room is a great place to take pictures when it's cold inside. The food was amazing. The venue goes above and beyond to accommodate dietary restrictions and ensure all guests eat a great meal. We had so many compliments from our guests about how great of a place it was to have a wedding. The venue is gorgeous and we received great customer service throughout the whole process.

Beautiful venue, amazing food, and wonderful staff! Everything was absolutely perfect and I couldn't imagine a better venue for a wedding reception. They allowed me to store all of my decorations in their offices the week before my wedding which was amazing. The only downside we had was that they require you to take everything with you the night of the wedding so we were flustered trying to make sure that we had everything when we left. One of my favorite and most appreciative thing that they did was box my husband and my's food up so that we could take it with us and eat once we got back to the hotel because we barely got to take one bite during the wedding! Overall, an amazing experience. Our reception was magical!

Everything about this venue is just amazingggg!!!! The price is magnificent!!!! They already have brand new chivari chairs in the mansion and also in the Carriage house with no extra charge to the client, they have tons of gorgeous linens to choose from, and you have so many different ways to have your event catered (either plated, buffet with two proteins, or choose your own). The price was amazing for everything we received and the service from the staff is just completely on point and they are there with you the whole day so no one misses a step and the wedding day flows smoothly and perfectly!!!! Extremely in love with the venue and the people that make it all happen!!! I highlyyyyy recommend!!!!

I literally do not have enough kind words to express how wonderful our wedding was at the Pine Knob Mansion. From the ambiance of the venue to how perfectly the night flowed... I don't even know where to begin!
The food was AMAZING, we got compliments all night long. If you want a hint, order the stuffed mushrooms as a side dish instead of a vegetable, your guests will not be disappointed!
The staff and Corinna set everything up PERFECTLY, I literally could not have imagined things looking better than I invisioned.
The photo opportunities all over the venue made an incredibly beautiful and timeless wedding album.
BUT...
The thing that stood out most importantly to me as the bride, was the day of coordinator, Corinna. That girl needs a raise because she is nothing short of amazing. My entire night was smooth and worry free because of her. She bustled my dress for me before I entered the reception, made last minute changes to the seating chart on a whim for me and she even fixed the flowers on my cake because I hated them. She alone, makes this venue worth booking. If I could do my wedding night all over again, I would forever choose this venue. You will not be disappointed.

The day of our tour, my fiance and I waited over 40 minutes past our tour time until we were finally shown around, while we had driven 2 hours to be there and were 15 minutes early. The person who was supposed to give us our tour was presumably not on the premises, and was unable to be reached by other staff members, which we felt was unprofessional. Finally, an additional wedding coordinator arrived to oversee the preparations for a wedding that day, tried to call the staff member we were supposed to see, and again was unable to reach them. That coordinator then told us that she'd take us for a tour after 20 minutes of sort of ignoring us which was awkward. This all had obviously rubbed us the wrong way. Additionally, the date we had in mind was not available, even though I had inquired numerous times about that specific date, so the experience seemed like a waste of our time. I hope our experience doesn't continue for other couples interested in Pine Knob, and the appropriate corrections can be made going forward. The venue itself is beautiful and historic, with many areas that would make for great photos. Because of this experience however, I would not recommend this venue.

Absolutely the best place to get married. The staff is amazing. They were so accommodating and met with us on multiple occasions to help answers all of my questions. We enjoyed the food tasting event and they gave us great vendor options too. The grounds were beautiful and well kept, the food was phenomenal, and the day of catering staff was beyond amazing. To have a place that provides all of the linens and catering and staff for such a great price I cannot imagine going anywhere else.

Day of was amazing. The venue is BEAUTIFUL and the staff was incredible. It rained on our big day but the venue was still stunning. Our wedding was in the spring but we originally viewed the venue in the winter too and that's when we fell in love with it. There is no season at the Carriage House that is not beautiful. The food was AMAZING. Do not judge based on the food tasting. We did not love that part but the actual food at the wedding was so delicious. The communication is lacking a bit though. Although they do weddings there all the time, they know the timeline of weddings, but being a bride I would have wanted more communication leading up to the weeks before.

We LOVED the Pine Knob Carriage house for our wedding. Corinna, Angie, Kurt & staff were all excellent to work with and made planning/day of so smooth. Service, atmosphere, details and food were all spot on. We got comments from multiple guests that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Some extras we got that were very worth it - the bridal suite (perfect spot for wedding party to get dressed, spacious & clean) and the outdoor bar (this was a crowd pleaser, we had it open from 9-11 PM).
I've also attended a wedding at the Carriage House as a guest and my experience from that point of view was excellent as well. I would definitely recommend Pine Knob for your wedding!

This wedding venue was amazing and the perfect theme we were going for! Kurt, Angie, and Corinna were so wonderful throughout the planning of our day and everything was beyond perfect the day of our wedding. They definitely exceeded my dream wedding, the food and service was amazing!!

I can not say enough good things about Pine Knob. Angie and Kurt really went above and beyond to make our day special. They were even willing to attempt something they had never done to make our vision become a reality. While the property is very beautiful in the summer, we (and our guests) absolutely loved our magical winter wedding. We loved that the mansion had historical architecture, but unlike other similar options in metro Detroit, Pine Knob allowed us to decorate the space to make it feel like "us". Plus our guests are still commenting on how fabulous the food was!

The Mansion was a beautiful setting for our wedding! We worked with the venue for a custom menu and they provided an outstanding meal and hors d'oeuvres. The wedding coordinator was not qualified to handle our wedding, communication was lacking and the ability to take initiative. In spite of that, our wedding was amazing!

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day. All of my guests continue to tell me how beautiful the venue looked, how wonderful and friendly the service was, and how tasty the food was! Corrina was responsive and worked collaboratively with me to ensure all my visions became a reality. She checked in with me at the reception, and offered to bring us food and drink. She even noticed that my dress was not bustled and helped me out. This venue is truly a 4 season venue. It has a beautiful outdoor patio for the summer, and large windows surrounding the dance floor that lookout to the beautiful snow-covered grounds.

Not sure what happened, but reading reviews, we had a different experience. No one was on the same page. We would get told different things by different people, charged extra for things we were told originally would be included. The communication was definitely lacking. There was a tour of the facility with another couple, WHILE OUR REHEARSAL was happening. The seating was set up wrong, and we had to rework it the day before. We did like Kurt, he was very personable and understanding, very helpful the day of! The food was good, and accommodates food allergies. We did not feel like we were valued, like we were just another $ to them. Was a big cause of stress throughout the process for myself, and my now husband.

Such a beautiful and fun venue! We had our ceremony in the outdoor pavilion and our reception inside of the Carriage House. The property is absolutely stunning. Great for photos both inside and out. The staff are incredible and very easy to work with. They helped make our dream wedding a reality. Thank you PK!

My daughter and her husband chose Pine Knob Mansion for their wedding ceremony and reception and it could not have been a better choice. The facility is elegant and lovely, grounds beautiful and if weather cooperates (which ours did), the outside ceremony space in front of the gazebo and overlooking the valley is spectacular. Kurt, Corrine and Angie could not have been any more cooperative throughout the process answering my numerous logistics questions, providing food tastings and accommodating our requests. The food was fantastic and accommodation of food allergies was great. We had a band on the patio and with the outside lights it was magical. The price points were extremely competitive relative to other venues of similar quality. I would highly recommend Pine Knob mansion and its wonderful staff.

I cannot be more satisfied with this venue!!
Corinna is a god send. Anything I forgot or lagged on she helped with. She even had an extra razor for me LOL and helped tie my dress up, when the rest of my bridal party got confused.
My guests adore the atmosphere and the design of this venue. When it comes to weddings in MI, this is VERY cost efficient!
They made it super easy, and the food was AMAZING!! I cannot sing their praises enough!!

When I say awesome people that’s exactly what I mean. They’re genuinely nice and friendly people. Kurt rocked!! The food was awesome I’m still receiving messages about how good the food was. It was worth every penny. Corrina was my go to girl there. She was on point whenever I had a concern or question. We had a few raindrops but Kurt was there to make sure my baby didn’t get wet and even was on there to make sure her dress was straight coming down the aisle. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Y’all rocked every step of the way.
Proud mom,

Our wedding at the Pine Knob Mansion was everything I could have asked for. Corinna and Kurt were very accommodating, professional, and caring. They made sure I was comfortable and that we had everything we needed. They also kept timing for the evening. Our guests were excessive in expressing their enjoyment in the evening.
Also, I was very concerned about having good food for our wedding. I hadn’t heard much about the food at Pine Knob so I wasn’t sure. Fortunately, the food was amazing. Pine Knob organizes a tasting event where you can test out most of the menu. The head chef took to time to talk with every bride and groom and express the menu isn't restricted to what they have listed in their pamphlets. In the end the food was delicious and I wish I would have had more of an appetite that night! Also, I didn’t think I would have much interaction with the bartenders, but they made me a special drink with my favorite liquor and it was great. They were outgoing, friendly, and interacted wonderfully with the guests.
Thank you so much for a perfect wedding!!

Pine Knob Mansion was the perfect venue for our ceremony and reception. From the moment we saw it we knew it was the place to tie the knot. Our guests our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful it was and how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The food and drinks were delicious and we had the perfect day. They are very accommodating and we’re even able to provide food for those of us with food allergies.

I can't say enough good things about Pine Knob Mansion! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful but the staff, service and quality are what make it outstanding. Angie, Kurt and Corinna made our wedding day perfect. I felt that I had thousands of requests, yet was never told 'no'. They made every accommodation without hesitation. The food was so delicious and our guests raved about it. The service was also wonderful and every staff member was so kind. I highly recommend you check them out for your wedding day! You will not regret it.

I held my daughter's wedding at the Mansion just this Saturday, July 21, 2018. All I can say is that from the first initial meeting with Angie who made the process effortless I am so thankful. When every reaching out to any of the ladies they were kind and so very help. Wedding day I can not say enough as to how Corrinia set me at ease with her attention to detail and order it was as though she knew my next move without me saying one word.
During the food tasting it was great that we we were provide a note sheet to assist with keeping track of our favor dishes. Kurt who oversees the catering is extremely accommodating wanting to provide you with the ultimate experience. No additional request or altering was ever met with negativity. My guest could/can not stop raving about how delicious and beautifully presented each course was.
Moving on to the venue it's self. What is there to say other than breathtaking. From the regal feel of the dinning hall with swords and shields on display. We thoroughly enjoy the outdoor ceremony and how it lends itself to beautiful photo opportunities. The most exciting part was that the rain had passed so could enjoy dancing outside under the lights. No need to worry about pesky insects for we never found ourselves shoeing any away anything.
In closing Pine Knob Mansion made my daughter's wedding day all that she imagined.
Thank You
The Taylor/Burg Wedding Party

We loved having our wedding at Pine Knob Mansion! Kurt, Angie and Corrina were wonderful people to work with! They were so kind and thoughtful and they both worked hard to accommodate our needs! Angie was very responsive and helpful throughout the year and a half I spent planning the wedding. Corinna did a great job facilitating things on my wedding day, she was very kind and helpful! She even stayed late so that we were able to rehearse at the venue the night before our wedding, it was very kind. Kurt made sure all of our menu and seating chart needs worked out perfectly- we had several vegans/ individuals with allergies and he also helped us work out the seating chart challenges we were having. Not to mention the food was AWESOME! We got so many compliments on the appetizers and meals.
In the middle of my ceremony, it started downpour raining out of nowhere- it wasn't even forecasted! Most people ran under the gazebo with us. Kurt rushed to give people umbrella's from the patio and he even turned on the sound system on the dance floor, and set up chairs so people could watch and hear the ceremony from inside. He was awesome! It turned out to be the most intimate and memorable ceremonies. It rocked!!
Thank you Pine Knob for a fabulous wedding day <3
