The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres

. To the beautiful rooms we got to stay in and our bridal party stayed in, the man cave where the boys got ready and could watch their game, and then the beautiful set up outside where we got married…it was amazing. The tent for the reception was spectacular. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better day. We had nothing to worry about the day of, and that’s the best part. Jerrica and her sister Tia took care of it all. My mother in law had a scooter too and they took care of transferring her from the ceremony to the reception without any problems which was more appreciated than they even realize. Even last minute fixes to dresses, bustling us up, making sure we all had appetizers too so we didn’t starve. The night was perfect and even their uncle got in on it all with a fireworks show that I surprised the wife with. Everyone said it was better than a 4th of July show and I couldn’t agree more. Even the next morning we woke up to a wonderful breakfast and all of our decorations food and booze packed up and ready to go for us. My wife was so grateful to the grand estates that she cried as we left thanking them all. Thank you all again and we cannot wait to spend another night there in the future. I highly recommend this venue. Jackie and Marissa

ere where they needed to be on time. The staff was incredible and super helpful - Jerrica was a godsend, especially on the day of the wedding. I'm convinced she is psychic as she knew exactly when the weather was going to break and stop raining. She kept me calm and collected when there was a slight chance we would have to move the ceremony indoors due to rain. I give her credit for that fact that I felt ZERO stress on our wedding day (which was a huge surprise to me). Everything was visually stunning - I wish we could have utilized more of the outdoor locations for photos, but the weather prevented that. Luckily their indoor areas are just as beautiful as their outdoor ones so our photos are still breathtaking. Our wedding day was a dream and I give a lot of the credit for that to The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres.

ly, courteous and appeared to enjoy their job. Any question or request we had was quickly answered & taken care of. Jerrica (wedding coordinator) definitely knows her job and was wonderful to work with. She keeps everyone on task, so no detail is missed. The venue itself is beautiful and well maintained. I highly recommend you choose the package that includes the wedding party & parents staying at the beautiful house & chalet. Each room is gorgeous & the chalet is a great place for the groom & his guys to stay. The pool area is absolutely beautiful & both the rehearsal dinner & cocktail hour were held there. As the mother of the groom, I took care of the rehearsal dinner. The staff did a nice job setting it up exactly as I requested. The guests were able to enjoy the pool after dinner. Everything was perfect. The reception tent is breathtaking. Every single detail was beautiful. I highly recommend renting the gold chairs, as they complete the picture. We were getting close to running out of one of our beer options & Tia graciously offered to run to the local beer distributor for us. That allowed us to stay at the reception. She was so kind & thoughtful. Since we stayed there both Friday & Saturday, breakfast was prepared by Tia & “Grandma” each morning. It was delicious & they were accommodating by making a special request for the bride & groom. They could not have been more kind. We all want to go back as it was truly a magical weekend for all. My son & his wife will return for a one night stay celebrating their 1st anniversary.

y. The staff is incredibly accommodating and made sure that even with a slight chance of rain we were prepared to have our rehearsal dinner indoor or outdoor as well as our ceremony. We had a chance of sunshine during the time of the ceremony and nobody stressed out the bride about the possibility of rain but luckily we chose to have the ceremony outside and the sun shined through when we were speaking our vows. We knew at that moment that we had the perfect wedding day. The estate family works so hard to make every event go so smoothly. Everyone who helps there is so kind and accommodating. I enjoyed getting to know Jerrica and Tia throughout the process, they are so sweet and made sure we enjoyed our stay. The chandeliers at this venue are iconic but the reception tent was always my wedding dream! We were even able to bring our antique car to park in the yard because this family has a love for classic cars just like us. It was very special that we could have our family car there with us and the venue even had a garage space available for us to park it in. We look forward to coming back to the Grand Estate for an anniversary and for a reminder of where we said our vows. We want to genuinely thank the Grand estate family for everything they did for us to give us such a beautiful and memorable wedding experience.

ntinuously checked in on me through out the wedding day and made sure I was at ease. I love this family and I can never thank them enough for being so amazing!

strictions we postponed our wedding to November. Mid-Summer we found out the state was enforcing more restrictions and our original was going to remain closed. We reached out to Jerrica about a weekend in November and she responded immediately. We toured the venue and FELL IN LOVE! I now truly believe everything happens for a reason because we were meant to have our wedding at Grand Estate. Jerrica was amazing to work with and seriously made my dream wedding come true. Throughout the planning process she was easily reachable and quickly returned emails and/or phone calls. She assisted with every detail including the ceremony set-up and reception layout. We got married on November 7, 2020- it was a perfect day with incredible weather! There was a wedding the night before and Jerrica and her staff quickly worked so hard to turnover the decorations and layout for our wedding. The girls got ready in the bridal suite located in mansion and it was the perfect space! We had such a fun time getting ready in the mansion and had plenty of space. My husband and groomsmen were able to swim in the pool that afternoon and got ready between the pool chalet and the basement (man cave) of the mansion. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and with the weather being so nice our guests were able to enjoy cocktail hour around the pool. Jerrica and her husband assisted the photographers when we were taking pictures and drove us around on golf carts so we could take pictures throughout the property. The property is so beautiful! There are so many great locations for pictures. The reception was absolutely breathtaking. Jerrica took me down about an hour before the ceremony and it seriously brought tears to my eyes. Throughout the reception, Jerrica and Tia would check in and make sure everything was going according to plan. Our bridal party stayed overnight at the mansion and it was so much fun! It was a great way to end our wedding day! The next morning, the staff team cooked everyone breakfast! It was so nice to just sit back, relax, and talk about the wedding with everyone. So many people came up to me during the wedding and after and could not stop raving about the venue. EVERYONE LOVED IT! It was so nice to have everything at one location. I'm so happy we were able to use so much of the property because it truly is so beautiful. I clearly cannot rave about this venue more. I truly wish that day never ended.

vailable on our date! It was a super quick and easy decision this was the place for us. From start to finish not one question went unanswered, not one request was not fulfilled, and all of the curveballs we threw were executed flawlessly. Jerrica, Melanie, Tia, and all of the staff went above and beyond the whole weekend to make us feel confident and truly like family. Everyone was BLOWN away from the rehearsal to departing. I will never be able to thank this group enough for all that they have done for us over the months. We will never forget our day and are so excited to come back to see our new extended family.

ly. The owners are the most genuine people you'll meet who care so deeply about their couples - not only on their wedding day but throughout their marriage. They instantly felt like family and we are still talking about their warmth and friendliness. The wedding itself was just flawless. They took care of everything and thought of everything - even asking me how many beautiful fall leaves I'd like to have around the property (a lot, a little, none at all?) that was something I'd never thought of before, but they were all over it! They handled all my vendors without a single issue and all I had to do was get myself ready while I was able to completely trust them to get all the pieces into place. Other little things they did were so memorable too - Jerrica brought my husband and I drinks from the bar to our table after our grand entrance along with a full plates of food from the buffet. They also let us stay in the tent and hang out, just the family, after the reception was all over which was such an awesome time to just sit and reflect together with no pressure of having to get out of the space. The whole weekend was so fun and relaxed and well, perfect. The house is also so beautiful and we all loved staying there, we honestly didn't want to leave! The breakfasts were delicious, the beds super comfy, and there's plenty of space for everyone to roam around without feeling cramped. It was such a beautiful wedding, fun weekend, and so full of love and I simply cannot recommend this venue enough! Thank you Grand Estate!!!

facilities and accommodations exceeded our dreams. We wanted the best memories for our son and new daughter-in-law and that is certainly what we got. Thank you!

to cancel her June wedding due to Covid. The family is so warm and wonderful and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. Jerrica and her staff which is mostly family were so accommodating and literally took care of everything including helping with our set up, drying chairs as it rained all morning, making things just perfect even last minute changes and treated our wedding like it was one of her own family member’s wedding. Her mom helped me bustle my daughter’s dress and I am forever thankful for that! They were respectful of the precautions for Covid ...although we felt such a peace about everything which is just the vibe of this beautiful place. You feel like you are in the middle of a storybook. Honestly toward the end of the night when the lights were all twinkling and the candles were all lit it literally looked like a scene from a fairytale! My daughter said it was more than she could ever have dreamed of. We had soooo sooo many compliments on the beauty of this wedding and the delicious food! We used Hoffstotts and they were unbelievable! The chef Brian was so great to work with and his staff was on top of everything and the food was delicious and hot. We had mostly filet and they were prepared perfectly! We literally got complimented on how superb the wait staff was. The bartenders nailed their signature drinks and were professional and fast so lines were never long to the bars. We were sad to not have been able to have the entire weekend as it was already booked for a Saturday wedding and they offer so much with the guest house, pool area and main house and it would have been nice to spend more time there but at least we had our one day and it was truly magical. It was worth every penny and I would not change a thing! Our daughter and new son in law had the wedding of their dreams and it was The Grand Estate that made it!

wedding party stayed and had a wonderful weekend that made the wedding day even more special. I can't thank Melanie and her family enough for what they did for my baby girl on her wedding day! It really means so much to have amazing people participate in pulling off a fantastic wedding!!! Thank you again and again!

nt plan B and when that is failing you quietly go to your room and have a panic attack. Then later that day by some small miracle an Instagram post is sent your way and her wedding date of 08/22 just became available at GORGEOUS venue. From my initial phone call to The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres to the day of the wedding,  the owner Melanie Waddell and her family and staff were AMAZING to work with.  Jeerica the Event Coordinator who also happens to be one of Melanie's daughters was with us every step of the way.  She and the rest of the staff made sure our daughter and son in law's wedding day was perfect from beginning to end. Once you schedule your tour, I can guarantee the moment the venue comes into view you will totally agree it truly is a " Grand Estate". From the jaw dropping crystal chandeliers, spiral staircase, beautifully decorated bedrooms and the impeccable grounds you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a venue that's more than ordinary The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres is for you.

ily who owns this venue, are simply the most wonderful people we have ever met, they went above and beyond to make sure things were in order, and even helped one of our wedding guests find a new dress after hers had broke during the wedding! Through this wedding process I have cried and stressed more than I can count, but finding the Grand Estate was a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you everyone who helped make our day perfection. .

room to get more comfortable shoes for me, anything at all that was needed, they were on it! Incredible people ❣️ They are committed to all the details and never left until it was over. It was a perfect weekend! Thank you Grand Estates at Hidden Acres. You love what you do and it shows. Also, our breakfasts were delicious 😊! Couldn't recommend it more!!!

eam was there to help with everything, they even sewed my bustle before we walked out at the reception. Couldn’t recommend them more!

helped us with every last detail way above and beyond anything I could’ve wished. The venue is stunning and lavish, yet has an endearing home-y feel inside and out. My husband and I, along with all of our guests, felt both awe-stricken and completely comfortable our entire stay. You would be hard-pressed to find a more incredible venue and I would recommend them to absolutely everyone! I wish I could do it all again! Thanks Grand Estate!!

f this beautiful venue are genuinely good people with huge hearts! Jerrica, went out of her way to meet all my ridiculous wants/needs during the wedding process. She is an amazing person all around and the venue is absolutely stunning. I do not have a single complaint, I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over again.

nly did our day become magical but they went beyond above and beyond. On our wedding day when we woke up we were told our dog went missing an hour away again we were hit with uncertainty and yet again this beauty family and business swooped in with doing things that didn’t even come with the amazing package that was given. After getting through the ceremony and during dinner as the weight of our lost dog continued to bother us we get a phone call that he was found. Jerrica one of the wedding coordinators right away offered to go pick him up and bring him to us. She drove almost an hour each way!!!! They saved our wedding and our night! Above all that they were diligent prepared and ready for anything which is exactly what someone needs on their day. Melanie, Arron, Tia, and Jerrica! There were never be enough words to describe our gratitude and appreciation for your venue and your family! I would get married here a hundred times over and will continue to support you in anyway we can! All of you made what we felt was impossible possible! With check out their Facebook page and website and contact them!!!! I can assure you disappointment isn’t a word in their vocabulary! We wish you nothing but the most success and prosperity! Yours Derek and bonsel

e staff is amazing and the entire experience of working there was fantastic. Honestly, I feel like there are no other venues like this, especially near Pittsburgh. If you get married at the Grand Estate you won't regret it!

e Waddell family went above and beyond on our big day, which was no easy task! It poured down rain on our wedding day and we had a large bridal party, but they worked with us to make sure the day went as smoothly as possible. They were there every step of the way, from holding umbrellas and shifting things around to make sure our ceremony space transitioned seamlessly into the reception - they truly did it all. Both of our families and the bridal party stayed at the venue from Friday to Sunday and that experience alone was truly worth the cost of the venue. They made us feel like family and it was so amazing getting to spend that time with our closest family and friends before and after our big day. The elegance and beauty of the reception tent is breathtaking and you can truly make it whatever you want. If you are looking for a venue that your guests will be talking about for years to come, then look no further than the Grand Estate at Hidden Acres!

sure our day went perfect and we couldn’t be more thankful. Not only is the estate absolutely stunning, but the staff made the weekend perfect for us and we couldn’t be more appreciative! From making us breakfast in the morning to making sure my dress was flawless to walk down the aisle to returning to a relaxing room at the end of the night, they thought of every little detail and I cannot express how much I enjoyed every bit of our weekend there for our wedding! I would without a doubt recommend having your wedding at the grand estate!

smiles on their faces. I cannot say enough positive things about their professionalism and would not hesitate to recommend them for anyone desiring a unique venue to celebrate a wedding or business event.

we have been together for eight years and didn't know if the big, elaborate wedding was for us. When mentioning this to my parents, they were afraid we would regret that decision. So we went from thinking small, to thinking big. When searching for a venue to hold the amount of people we were going to invite, I just loved the charm I saw in pictures of this venue and boy did it translate in person. Aaron and his whole family were more than accommodating. When I first set up a tour, my whole family couldn't make it. SO it was just me. After I fell in love with the venue, I had to have Aaron walk through the whole thing for my family, as well, a separate time. That was just the first of many times Aaron demonstrated patience with us. Fast forward to the actual wedding weekend, we got the venue from Friday through Sunday. We were able to have our close friends and family (the people we would have invited to our destination wedding) stay with us the entire weekend. Rather than having one special day, we had an entire weekend filled that gave us memories to last a lifetime. This in itself made it worth it. AND they cooked us breakfast. Signed, sealed... they had me at breakfast buffet... With that being said, I cannot say enough great things about the Waddell family. They went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable time, taking a lot of pressure off of us to figure out things.

weekend unforgettable. I would definitely recommend this venue!!

accommodate at times. Aaron, Jericka, Tia, and Melanie were wonderful... they took extra time to make sure what we wanted was exactly as is. They helped us determine a timeline, had great insight into vendors, and overall kept us calm and organized throughout the process. I truthfully cannot say enough about how perfect our weekend was at this venue... we are definitely looking forward to coming back for our one year anniversary!!!

ily who owns the Estate catered to our every need and made sure they made our wedding perfect in every which way. All the vendors that they had recommended were nothing but the best. Our guests were in such AWE over how gorgeous the venue was! This place holds such a special place in our hearts. The Waddell family praises the idea of "longevity" in all their couples and helps you start your marriage with the most memorable day of your lives!

is unlike any other and we received so many compliments on how classy and beautiful our wedding was. It was also so convenient to be able to stay on the grounds from Friday to Sunday! We feel like that took a lot of stress out of setting up and tearing down and that gave us more time to spend with friends and family. We will always cherish the moments from our wedding day and the memories we made at The Grand Estate. We would recommend it to anyone!

dn't have picked a better place to get married! My only wish would be that Aaron could have been there (unfortunately he was on a trip), because some of the staff running everything had never met us before and we had gotten comfortable with him! His Mother Melanie did take wonderful care of us though whenever she was there! Other than that, I would absolutely recommend this venue to any bride looking to have their fantasy wedding! Thanks again for everything you all did at the Grand Estates!

that I would change. Aaron and Mel are very nice and easy to work with. They want your day to be perfect just as much as you do. If you're looking for a venue that gives you the outdoor/indoor/classy/romantic feel you will not be disappointed in booking the Grand Estate. The Grand Estate was the perfect venue for our June wedding. Our bridal party and guests are still raving about our wedding 3 months later. Thank you for everything!!

se the Estate as our venue, we felt the family was truly invested in our day and in us as people, not just clients. Over the year we planned we formed bonds and created wonderful friendships with everyone at the venue. We were honored to have them as a part of our day. (Thank you, Jerrica, for holding my hand and calming me down right before my walk down the aisle! Thank you Aaron, for everything under the sun.) The venue itself is flawless, perfectly manicured. It is not hard to see the care and pride the owners have for their venue. If you are looking for a wedding venue and are on the fence, do not hesitate to visit the Estate- it was the best decision we made during our planning process and absolutely recommend this venue to anyone. ❤️

e beautiful for a summer wedding and the staff were so friendly. We stayed at the house for the weekend which made everything so easy and our family and friends had a great time in the house and pool. Our guests commented on how beautiful the estate was and how everything went seamlessly. This is the perfect upscale outdoor venue that you can put your own spin on. We did a mixture of renting decorations from classic tent and bringing our own. We also used Schneider photography, Gardas catering, Vic and Nicolenas pizza oven for rehearsal dinner, and traveling heart productions for other vendors which were all great. Thank you for our amazing wedding memories!

tly for a relaxing night after a long wedding day. We cannot wait to come back for our anniversary stay. Thank you to the entire Waddell family and their staff for making it an unforgettable wedding weekend!! We recommend The Grand Estate to anyone looking for a complete wedding weekend venue.

t in your life. It's really hard for me to pick a favorite thing about this venue, because everything just beyond exceeded any expectations we could have had. They were so flexible and accommodating to work with, and their vendor list was on point. Our vendors all said that they loved working there, and our guests are still talking about how incredible everything was. If you want a flawless event, this is where you need to go. Thank you Aaron, Melanie, and everyone at The Grand Estate, from the bottom of our hearts. -Kate and Elliott Smith

had a blast. The grounds are gorgeous and our family and friends can’t stop talking about how amazing it looked. The staff is very responsive to emails/calls and answered all of our questions quickly and effectively. We couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

and accomodated our requests. There isnt one bad thing I would say about this venue, its a must see!

autiful, the house is immaculate and all the sites for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and pictures are absolutely stunning. Our guests are still complimenting us on the venue as it is completely different than the typical Pittsburgh venue. Thank you to the Waddell family and all their helpers for everything you did to make our day perfect!

d catered to us to the whole night. They also had great recommendations for other vendors to use (catering, florists, DJs, etc.). The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres was the first and only venue my husband and I visited, and we absolutely fell in love with it. If we had to do it all over again, we'd definitely choose this venue! 5 STARS!!!

o very little (they decorate the spaces for you) which made the weekend less stressful! They also provide a recommended vendor list that made it extremely easy to find reputable vendors (And they are comfortable with the estate). Also, you can rent the estate for the entire weekend and have your rehearsal dinner there around the pool or in the pool house.

as perfect! The bride, groom and wedding party moved in on Friday and stayed until Sunday. It was so wonderful they could spend such a memorable weekend together. They enjoyed the pool, the bocci court, the game room and spending the whole weekend without having to travel. Melanie, Tom and Aaron are amazing. Everyone at the Estate is very professional, kind, and extremely helpful. We had no worries because they are experts at what they do. They are very warm and wonderful to deal with. Any questions we had were answered immediately. The groom and his men had a wonderful time getting ready in the beautiful and comfortable chalet house. The bride and her ladies really enjoyed getting ready in the large, stunning bridal suite. We had a large bridal party of 22 and had so much room inside and out. We seriously could not of had a more perfect venue and highly recommend the Grand Estate at Hidden Acres. Trust me if you go and tour it you will not have to search further, you won't want to go anywhere else. There truly is no comparison, it is exquisite!! Thank you Grand Estate for the wonderful weekend, pictures, food and memories. You are the best!!!

m over and over again.

n't even tell you how many emails I sent them. I really wanted our wedding to be as long as possible and a weekend event seemed like the best way to go. The Grand Estate is the perfect scenario, we arrived Friday where I could set up my own reception space and we had rehearsal there as well as dinner (amazing pizza) then we all stayed the night at the mansion and were married the next day! Melanie felt like family the entire weekend, her and her daughter helped carry my extremely long veil around and made sure it was perfect at all times. They even washed it after the ceremony in the sink for me while it was still attached to my head. I really loved the flexibility of having our wedding here and I wouldn't change a thing! Totally worth going to a walk through if you want your weekend to be a weekend long event of the year! All of our guests still talk about how amazing our wedding was and how beautiful the venue was. I wish I could have that day all over again! Thank you so much Mel, Tom and Aaron and the entire Grand Estate team for making my wedding dreams come true! I love and miss you guys!! -Amanda and Jordan Perry

l took the time to visit other venues. They had their checklist of must haves and The Grand Estate filled each and every one of them and after visiting many other places realized that not only did the Estate meet and exceed what they wanted, the other venues didn’t come close to what the Estate offers. The Grand Estate allowed our family and friends to gather in a place where we were made to feel as if it was our own home. In many ways it felt as if we were having the wedding in our own backyard, but the most beautiful backyard I have ever seen. It truly was a weekend event! We had the rehearsal dinner in the Chalet (comfortably fitting 40 people inside). The Estate took care of setting up all of the tables, chairs and linens and made sure that everything was in place before the caterer arrived on Friday night. They came back in the evening to take away the tables and chairs and made sure that everything was prepared for our guests to use the Chalet overnight. The entire bridal party stayed in the Estate overnight Friday and woke up to an amazing breakfast the next day before we all started getting ready. The attention that was given to everyone was just amazing. The owners and their staff never left our sides all day on Saturday as we prepared for the wedding. As we were all heading to the church for the ceremony the Grand Estate staff was still there by our sides sending us off and making sure that we were all ready. It was this type of attention that again made us feel like we were in our own home, being sent off with love. Once back to the Estate, after the ceremony, we were able to enjoy the rest of the evening without any worry. The Grand Estate team was everywhere, taking care of everyone. You won’t get this type of personal attention at any other wedding venue I can assure you of that! When we entered the tent it was nothing short of magical. As we greeted our guests we began to hear that it was one of the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Even before décor, flowers, lighting, etc the tent itself is simply stunning. We are are so thankful for everything the Grand Estate team did for us!!

ding was seriously breath taking. The mansion and tent are gorgeous and so so classy! You can make the tent into anything you want! You can make it as simple or glamorous as you want! Melanie and Tom were super amazing and even allowed us to put floral wreaths in the chandeliers in the tent. They want to help you in any way they can to make your dream wedding a reality. What is also amazing about this venue is that you can make it a wedding weekend. We had our rehearsal dinner at the estate in the Chalet on Friday and we stayed at the estate Friday and Saturday night. The estate provided a wonderful breakfast every morning, it was like waking up in your own home as the owners make this place feel like your home. Their hospitality is incredible. Tom and Melanie, along with their entire family, are some of the most genuine people I have ever met. They really helped in making our wedding absolutely perfect, everything ran so smoothly, and they made us all feel at home. If you want to have the wedding of your dreams and create life long friends then The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres is the right place for you! I 110% plan to go back and visit and take advantage of their Bed and Breakfast.

ntained and clean. The staff offer incredible customer service, and are very attentive to both guest and client (and planner) needs. To top it all off, the owners Melanie and Tom and their family are some of the most kind and hard-working people that I've met within the industry. I highly recommend this location for your wedding or special event!

nd reception.

are extremely receptive to any concerns you may have, and their experience is evident when dealing with them. During our first look, our photographer was stung by a bee and when we went back up to the house Melanie was aware it happened and was waiting with ice and medicine. One of our cousins had a broken leg and the estate made sure to bring out the golf cart to drive her from the ceremony site to the reception. These are just two examples of how accomodating and well prepared Melanie and Tom are. As a wedding coordinator, Melanie was incredible and although everyone can be a bit anxious on their wedding day, Melanie made us feel relaxed for the big day! We highly recommend booking the venue for multiple days as well. We had our rehearsal dinner at the venue next to the pool located by the guest house, and this created a very fun atomosphere to calm nerves the day prior to the wedding! The estate house is roomy and comfortable, and the bridal suite is nothing short of magical. Our wedding was more perfect than we could ever have dreamed, and The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres deserves a huge part of the credit. We recommend The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres with 100% confidence! Thanks Melanie and Tom!!

sband cry : ) My daughter and her husband had their "1st look" down by the pond on the bridge before the ceremony and they took the bride down in a golf cart. There was no detail left undone. The tent was so beautiful with the chandeliers and lights. I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful venue. The grounds were so pretty and the out door pictures were spectacular. I was worried about small things getting done, and Mel told me to let her know what she could do to help, so I gave her my list. She took care of my details plus others I didn't even think of! We could not have asked for anything more perfect. This venue exceeded our expectations!

of getting ready so easy and convenient for everyone! The owners, Mel and Bill, were absolutely wonderful to work with and were very invested in our ceremony (just like it was one of their own children). They did everything they could to make sure we had our dream wedding, and we sure did! Thank your for everything!

Tom have been unbelievably helpful and always there to answer our questions up to a perfect rehearsal dinner and a perfect wedding. Our guests were in awe from the beauty of the place. My husband and I cannot wait for our anniversary to go back and experience the B&B again. Thanks again to the Grand Estate and their staff for truly making our wedding the most memorable day of our lives!

300 guests comfortably. This venue offers an atmosphere that is elegant, yet comfortable with a refined charm that's far from stuffy - a rare balance to strike, but the Grand Estate does it unbelievably well! Many of our guests commented that it was the among the most beautiful weddings they've ever attended from the charming simplicity of the gazebo and the elegance of the sparkling chandeliers in the reception tent. While of course we wanted a beautiful wedding ceremony space and a large but still elegant reception space, it was also just as important to us that our guests enjoyed their entire experience - and we definitely achieved that here! Melanie and Tom were extremely supportive throughout the planning process and beyond. As a bride who's used to taking care of every little detail for myself and everyone else around me, it was such a pleasure (and a relief!) to know that Melanie and her staff anticipated every possible need during our wedding weekend. We loved staying at the house and opened it up also to our immediate family, including our young nieces and nephews. Melanie, Tom, Aaron, Jericha and the entire staff were so accommodating and welcoming to all of our family members from the moment we walked in the door on Friday to prepare for rehearsal. We booked the venue 14 months in advance, and while there were many, many phone calls and emails exchanged during that time, Melanie was always extremely understanding and thorough and made me feel like my calls were always welcomed, no matter how minor my questions were. She and her staff were reliable and always approachable - something that's extremely valuable for a busy bride! I recommend this venue for anyone looking for an elegant, tranquil and truly one of a kind wedding experience.

onger to we get there.... and then you arrive!!!! The estate itself is magnificent, the grounds are very well kept and then you walk around and there is no where else like it! From the inside to the outside there are so many spots for exploring, fun, pictures and amazing memories! It's a unique experience not only because of the Estate itself but because of the people who run it! Melanie, feels like family to me and her dedication to each bride and making that day as special as she can is something you will never find at a hotel or the popular "barn spots". The tent will take your breathe away, its ceiling lined with silk draping and chandlers and then the outside openness to it its so incredible and relaxing. Everyone said I was the happiest bride they had ever seen! One because I married an amazing, wonderful man, but two because of Melanie, I had no worries as she made sure things were as we discussed. Oh, and bonus you get to stay in the most gorgeous bed and breakfast. There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe the happiness that was fulfilled on our wedding day because of the beautiful place and all the amazing/talented people that make it run! We can wait to go back on our anniversary stay next year! Thank You! Love, The Newmans ! ;) We are #happilyevernewman

ie was there to put pins in my hair to keep the veil on, and drove us down to the pond in her golf cart. The staff put rose petals in the shape of a heart on our bed, and they made sure that everything and everyone was in the right place at the right time throughout the whole day and into the late night. There are a LOT of rules, but the wedding went off as perfectly as it could have been! A huge thank you to The Grand Estate and everyone working there!

it is a great venue where he is going to have the fairytale wedding. The wedding is supposed to take place on April 21, 2018. Even though it is going to be still cold to have this wedding under a tent, still we didn’t complain about it to make our son happy. Finally, 2 weeks ago, my son and his fiancée took me to see the venue. I was ok with it and I understand that they are both excited about decorating it and stuff, I respected what they wanted. I saw two small trailers at the time facing the venue. I didn’t pay lots of attention at them. I had to take my husband the following day to see the venue. I thought we were allowed finally to check the place where my first born is going to get married. I took him inside the tent with the approval on an old lady thinking she is the housekeeper. We found out later that she is the mother in law of the owner. Then, I realized why she was rude to me when I asked her to remove the two containers; actually, there was a third single blue container too. It happens that these containers are the toilets, one for women and one for men. The single one was a handicapped one. They are so narrow. Each holds two commodes and one sink. I didn’t even ask if the toilets flush, which I think they don’t. I was so surprised that I couldn’t believe my eyes. They were filthy from the inside. They claimed afterwards that they are not clean because they had a wedding the day before. The problem is that me and my husband couldn’t believe that there is going to be 250 guests as we thought at the wedding using only four commodes in a 7 hour reception. We couldn’t help thinking about the sanitary condition. The old lady was so rude to me when I was surprised about it and I was upset that the way she dealt with me and finally I told her that it is not a picnic, it is a wedding. My husband called the venue the following day to offer extra money for us to let at least some of our guests use the guest house or the mansion’s bathrooms that we are renting for the night before since we were hosting the rehearsal dinner at the venue…The mansion anyway is being used as bed and breakfast. He offered to pay somebody to clean these bathrooms frequently during the event in case one toilet is clogged or somebody throws up in the other one. They refused. So, my husband thought we might communicate with these people whom we never met and find a solution to this mess. Instead, the owners by the name of Melanie and Tom, whom I believe became very good friends with the bride’s parents, refused to communicate with us and threatened to break the contract if we ever visit the place before the wedding or even complain and they set rules on us that it will be strictly enforced that no one including us can use the guest house or the bed and breakfast bathrooms during the 7 hour ceremony. We are not going to our son’s wedding who just turned 23 on September 1 because of how bad is the sanitation and because of the owners attitude.

ther tent I have seen before. Lights and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and absolutely beautiful. And the mansion itself is extremely well kept and so beautiful. We felt like a royal family staying the night there! The staff were incredible from the moment we set foot on the property until we left, any request was met with ease! They provided both our venue and acted as our day of coordinator, which made such a big difference! They made our wedding absolutely flawless and a dream come true! We cannot thank them enough for the amazing day they gave us!

n the back gazebo outside. The landscaping, flowers, and area were impeccable. The staff got all of my wedding party prepared and made the ceremony seamless and beautiful. Even things that we forgot or were not prepared for, they were prepared for, had options, and were always willing to go above and beyond to make everything perfect. We held our reception in the tent on the grounds. It is beautiful with the chandeliers, lighting, and was set up perfectly to our tastes. They simply know how to do weddings, accommodate to bride, grooms, and families. We used many of their preferred vendors, who were all exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend you look at The Grand Estate for your wedding. I promise the experience will be worth it and it will make your wedding perfect and memorable :)
