I am so happy that we chose this venue! It truly is the most beautiful and all-inclusive in this area. At the time that we booked (Summer 2022), it was similar in price to several that other venues that were simply just plots of land. The team is absolutely fabulous and worked beautifully with my planner and all my vendors. I had a New Year Eve's weekend wedding and never felt too cold.

FAIRYTALE WEDDING EXPERIENCE
There are no words to adequately describe how amazing SPM is. Not only is it STUNNING with multiple ceremony sites to choose from (including multiple rainy-day options!), but it also has their Something Borrowed collection that basically all your décor is already bought and ready at the venue, if you choose. Everyone who works at the venue cares so much about you and your dream for your big day. Shayla, Tamra, and Joseph were always so excited and kind towards us when we would come to the SPM events to prepare. They were always so helpful and accommodating. Tamra made this experience perfect for me and my fiancé! Even in my type A personality she was able to keep me cool and collected. Even when I missed something, she didn’t. The day was PERFECT! It was so smooth and had no issues come up for us (because Tamra is a rockstar!). Tamra and SPM really did make our wedding day dreams come true. It was better than I could have ever hoped for. It was a fairytale wedding experience.
Review from the MOH: The venue was absolutely stunning, and Tamra was everything we needed her to be and more. Can’t say enough about how seamless and perfect the day was!
Review from the BMs:
- The venue was absolutely magical! Tamra was fun, approachable and professional without being overbearing. Highly recommend her!
- Tamra was efficient, caring and sensitive to our needs. She was able to balance every aspect and was able to stop in the middle of what she was doing to comfort and help the bride. The venue was magnificent!!
- The venue was incredible! Tamra was always on top of everything and made sure everything was seamlessly executed a great experience overall they made sure the wedding was beautiful.

My husband and I celebrated our 1 year vow renewal at SPM last weekend and it was absolutely perfect! It was better than I ever imagined! 2 years ago I found SPM on The Knot, scheduled a tour at an Open House by accident, and immediately fell in love! SPM was the only venue we toured. Shayla has been amazing to me from the first night I met her and has answered every single one of my millions of questions. She knew me by name every Open House I attended and remembered every detail about us. I mentioned the first night that I love cows. SHAYLA HAD BOB BRING 3 BABY COWS TO MY WEDDING FOR MY GUESTS AND I TO FEED! If that is not commitment to your couples experience, I don't know what is. Shayla even made an appearance on our ceremony day to see my enjoyment.
Tamra and Joseph were our weekend team. They are so knowledgeable, accommodating, and helpful! They see your vision and strive to make it come to life. Our entire event was nontraditional so we had strange requests, but they made each of them come true to ensure our day was perfect and our event was extremely personalized.
We had a rain scare the day of, but luckily the weather held out other than it being a little cold. We had our ceremony at the Grove, cocktail hour at the Springs, and reception at the Pavilion in mid November. If you have guests that are not up for the hike or cold, definitely have closer locations or double up locations. We envisioned the 3 different locations and they made it happen for us! We let our guests know ahead of time so they knew what to expect.
We booked the weekend stay at the Manor House and let me tell you it was the best decision ever! We were able to spend Friday and Saturday taking our time decorating plus using the hot tub to relax. Our entire wedding party stayed the weekend so it let us get that extra quality time with them.
The rehearsal dinner was held Friday night and ended up moving from the backyard to inside the Manor House due to the temperature drop. We were worried the Manor House could not accommodate everyone eating, but Tamra is a professional and knows the space so we had more than enough room.
The bridal getting ready room? Girl, that was amazing! It makes you feel so important and glamorous. The only thing I did not account for was who slept in the bedrooms to get there. We had infants sleeping in either room so it was not well planned on my part. Keep that in mind when picking rooms.
Overall, SPM and their staff are amazing!!! I'm sad that our event is over and I don't get to go back anymore :( they easily became like family over the past 2 years and I'm happy Shayla got to meet our daughter! My husband thinks I'm joking when I tell him that every year we're going to have our vow renewal at SPM hahahaha We cannot recommend this venue enough. Truly an amazing group of people!
Thank you SPM for creating the most memorable reflection of our love! <3 Love, Danyelle, Aaron, & Kora

I had a tremendous experience at Seven Paths Manor. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic venue. I felt taken care of and things were handled for me. I was not stressed and the team was phenomenal. They have a great something borrowed collection and several different ceremony areas. Just a beautiful range of pictures to be taken. We also had a last minute change up with the officiant and the ceremony spot due to rain - but no one would have been the wiser unless we told them. The staff are really focused on making your day incredible and I would say they supersede expectations!
They also recommend the best vendors, they are people who really just add to your special day and make it even better.

If I could give more stars I would! It is a beautiful venue for just anyone but an animal lovers heart it's a dream come true! Shayla and her hubby are amazing. Both super sweet and helpful and I love their energy. I didn't worry about anything small like decor or anything as they have it all. I had a vision in my head for how the big day would look and it looked and went so much better. HIGHLY recommend.

BREATHTAKING! If I had one word to describe Seven Path Manor. From the manicured grounds, picturesque gazebo, to the magical horse barn, it all was "picture perfect". However, nothing compares to the attention, care and professionalism of the staff. Shayla was absolutely wonderful, her attention detail was astounding and it trickledown to the young men directing traffic to the chauffeurs/valet drivers. As a mother of the groom, I can say it was just perfect, the wedding of a lifetime.

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing this venue is. The venue coordinator, Shayla, had the utmost professionalism and full of passion for me and my now husband’s special day and weddings in general. You can really tell that she has the heart to serve her clients and genuinely cares that they have the perfect day. Throughout this process, she was always working to make sure all the details were figured out and kept contact with me about any questions I had or that she had for me. The venue was absolutely GORGEOUS. We got married in front of the Portico and it was decked out in all things Christmas. It was intimate and overlooked the gated fields and the sun was over us shining down. There was an entire crew that was there earlier than I can imagine making sure everything was handled and that we were all taken care of. The bridal getting ready suite was perfect for me and my bridesmaids. I was obsessed with the bathroom because us girls know we need that good lighting! My husband told me he really liked the grooms getting ready suite and that his groomsmen had plenty of room and space to get ready as well. There are countless photo opportunities. I thought my photographer was going to cry because she was in awe of how gorgeous the property is. Me and my husband have no regrets and we would recommend this place to any couple we know and care for because we would have full confidence knowing they would be completely taken care of and in the best of hands.
