The Hudson Manor

We had a baby shower here at this gorgeous venue. Melissa was amazing every step of the way from beginning to end. With covid we wanted to be as safe as possible, so she suggested the veranda. It was perfect! Plenty of outdoor space and the set up was classy with the natural effect we sought. Everyone complimented this choice of venue. Melissa went above and beyond as she patiently helped me through some anxiety at the beginning of our event in a way no one even knew. Thank you again Melissa for a spectacular event! Your knowledge, patience, advice and choices offered are outstanding!

I fell in love with this beautiful, versatile venue from the moment I arrived. I was impressed by Melissa's experience, the ease of working with Melissa, the wonderfully delicious food and especially the versatility of the site. Regardless of what Mother Nature was going to through at us, we were going to be covered (literally) at the Hudson Manor. Melissa was prepared to run with the ball and give us a wonderful ceremony and reception. However, our Chaplain and I wanted a specific format for the wedding itself and Melissa stepped back and let us do exactly what we wanted. For the reception, we were thrilled to let Melissa coordinate it all. She knew what things we wanted to do and executed it flawlessly! My husband and I were thrilled that she gave us exactly what we wanted and it went as smooth as silk. I cannot recommend Melissa, her talented chef (her hubby) and her extraordinary staff, highly enough. Thank you Melissa and Hudson Manor!

Melissa and Hudson Manor made our dreams come true! Melissa and her family have been in the industry for years and it shows. They know exactly how to set up and coordinate for the day to go smoothly and were there for advice along the way. The venue is absolutely beautiful and had everything we wanted for a southern elegant wedding. I can't imagine having our day go any other way or use any other venue. Professional, helpful, knowledgeable and organized!

I remember going to look at the venue and just falling in love. Everyday after that I would daydream about the wedding. Melissa and her staff are incredible. We started planning a year out and Melissa helped me the whole way through. It was the most amazing experience that I will never forget.

Seriously can’t stop reminiscing on our wedding day! From the moment I saw pictures of the manor I knew it was where I wanted to get married. With the help of our families and Melissa our day was perfect! Start to finish Melissa is there every step of the way to help with everything. The all inclusive package is the way to go! My dream day was perfect!

There are not enough positive words to describe our experience at Hudson Manor and with their coordinator Melissa! She made the ENTIRE planning process as stress-free as possible. From the first time my now husband and I toured it and sat down with Melissa, we knew that is where we wanted to get married! The grounds are beautiful, the house is spectacular, and the area is quaint and quiet. Within the week of booking, Melissa had already locked down our photographer (Chris Nieto) and DJ (Taylormade DJ service), whom she highly recommended and we were not disappointed with either! Throughout the whole planning time frame she would check in and keep us on track with what needed to be done and when. She took the guesswork out of it, which was such a relief, as it can be stressful when working full-time and taking care of a farm. Planning a wedding during Covid also threw some unknowns in the mix, but Melissa was always the first to reassure us that it would still be the best day of our lives and it truly was. On wedding day the nerves kick in and you just want everything to go smooth, and be perfect and it absolutely was. Melissa walked us through every aspect of our day and it went off without a hitch. I COULD NOT have wanted it to go any other way. We had multiple friends and family tell us this was the best wedding they had ever been to. Melissa's husband is the chef and the food was to die for. She was genuinely happy for us and thinking back on the day, it was absolutely the best day of our lives! I 10 out of 10 recommend Hudson Manor for your big day!!

Planning a wedding during a global pandemic is not something we ever expected to do, but Melissa was so helpful and professional. She offered additional dates and was very flexible given the circumstances. We truly could not have asked for a better experience, and we are so grateful! The wedding was so beautiful, and they were careful to follow mandates without making us feel like we were in the twilight zone - a lot of care and thought behind every decision. We highly recommend this venue for its beauty, value, and truly excellent service.

We had a great experience at The Hudson Manor! It was very easy to communicate with Melissa throughout the planning stage.

Melissa Cogliati was our wedding coordinator. She and her family run the business and they are very flexible and accommodating. Definitely not as uptight as so many others, which for us was a big plus. The venue has a ceremony location (a beautiful white chapel with a pretty red door), a reception area, a getting ready area, and a patio. It can accommodate outdoor weddings in summertime. We were married in November, so we didn't end up seeing that. We LOVED having an option that had a chapel and reception on one property. There were paved paths in between and an easy parking area. We wanted to do a Star Wars wedding, and she was totally willing to work with us on that front. She sent decoration suggestions and helped offer the decor they had. We had a few out there suggestions too, and she was really willing to work with us without making us feel strange about it! The chapel was gorgeous, and we were easily able to seat our 65ish guests. It was cold, but the patio had warmers and seats for people who wanted to hang out after dinner to get away from the noise. The food and service was excellent. They were very on top of clearing, passing hors d'oeuvres, getting drinks, etc. Day-of, she was responsible for taking care of us, the couple. We felt very significant because of the attentiveness of her and her staff. For dinner, we had roast beef and herb chicken with sweet potatoes, Yukon potatoes, green beans, and salad. The menu variety was wonderful and she was willing to offer us suggestions about how to tweak it. The venue also had a tasting event, which we were able to attend on Valentine's Day ahead of time so we could get a feel for what the food might be like. It was all excellent. The apps were great too. We especially liked the bacon-wrapped filet bites and spring rolls during the cocktail hours. What a variety we had to choose from! Also of note, on the menu items we had to meet some kind of minimum for the package we were offered. However, our guest count kept changing (we are military) and she was very flexible with changing up our food options to help us meet minimums without being pushy or making us buy an excess of food. She even mentioned once not wanting us to buy things just to meet some price point. That was really awesome. Additionally, she was willing to work with all of our other vendors to take that stress off our plates. She did offer preferred vendor options, but was not only cool with but also willing to work with other vendors from other places outside her preferred list. We did find a few vendors on our own, but once we secured them Melissa really worked with them, which made it much less stressful than it would have been otherwise. The venue is a little out of the way, but because of that it is beautiful countryside views all the way around, even in wintertime. Highlights for us: chapel/reception in one place, willing to be flexible with vendors, great variety of food options/choices (we both got something we loved), ease of process throughout -- she was willing to take as much or little as we wanted. Couldn't recommend more! If we have friends in the area, I will totally suggest sending them out this way!

Fantastic venue- the all inclusive service was fantastic as everyone but the bride and groom lived outside of Raleigh. Beautiful gardens and chapel- if too hot or rain you will still have a gorgeous ceremony. Food and reception area are great- highly recommend!!! Their help w/ coordination and planning is a huge benefit!

The Hudson Manor was fantastic! It’s all inclusive packages made planning the wedding so much easier. It’s a beautiful venue and I loved that getting ready, the ceremony and the reception were all on the property, it made everything simpler for everyone! Melissa is great and super helpful! Definitely book here!

The Hudson Manor is one of the best venues to have a wedding. My new husband and I went to several locations around the Raleigh area and nothing could compare to what they had to offer. Not only were we able to get dressed in the 100-year-old home, there is a chapel and reception hall right on site, which provided my guests with the ability to transition from one to the other after the ceremony. This was especially important for our elderly family members who have a hard time moving around. Melissa, the owner of The Hudson Manor also doubled as the coordinator for the day. She provided me with vendors from a preferred list while approving some of my own choosing as well. She is on top of her game and was extremely helpful in assisting me organize the ‘day of’ timeline. She coordinated with each vendor and kept my mom (a.k.a POC) up to date, which was key to making sure the day went smoothly. We simply cannot say enough about Melissa or The Hudson Manor. It is definitely worth the trip out to Louisburg.

"All inclusive" was almost enough to have me sold on this venue without even seeing it in person, but once we visited the venue and met with Melissa we were definitely sold. The house is absolutely beautiful and there are several different areas available to hold the ceremony. They have an onsite chapel that can be used as a rain plan instead of a hideous white tent. The food is taken care of by Melissa's Husband and man was it good! Melissa is more than just the venue owner. She was basically my wedding planner! She handled all the contracts, deposits and details. We simply told her which vendors we wanted to use and she handled everything! She is easy to get in touch with and very prompt with emails. She ran our rehearsal and made sure the wedding day ran smoothly and on time. She definitely looks out for the bride and groom and the vendors she has on her preferred vendor list are some of the best. If you're looking for a stress free wedding experience, then look no further. Hudson Manor is your venue!

Coordinator was helpful and responsive right from the start and helped us through every step of the process. Staff was exceptionally helpful in making sure the bridal party had everything needed day of.

My husband and I got married at Hudson Manor on 4/8/17. Overall it was a great experience. The venue is beautiful and we had the perfect day. The day of the wedding Melissa ran everything like a well oiled machine. We all felt like we could really just relax and enjoy the day. Her staff was kind & helpful and made sure my husband and I got plenty to eat and got to enjoy our cake. My mother and I wanted a lot of little details and Melissa allowed us to come into the venue and make sure everything was set up how we wanted it. The grounds were lovely even though a few days leading up to the wedding we had several bad storms. I recommend this venue for someone who wants an easy wedding planning process all in one very pretty location!

Three words: DREAM COME TRUE! My husband and I had our wedding at the Hudson Manor on June 3, 2017. We planned our wedding during a short amount of time, and we could not have pulled off the most amazing day of our lives without this jaw dropping venue and the professional attitude and creativity of the owner, Melissa Cogliati. She had so many ideas that we didn't even think to think of, but all of our guests noticed and enjoyed. We received personal comments from each of our guests about how it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been too. This was all thanks to Melissa. She captured my vision, and took care of the details. As the bride, your nerves can already be everywhere, but she calmed me down each time. When I arrived to the venue on the day of, my heart was overflowing with how she captured everything I had ever hoped and dreamed of and more. My bridesmaids and family thoroughly enjoyed the bridal suite (7 bridesmaids and 4 honorary bridesmaids, mothers and grandmothers) and the groomsmen enjoyed their manly den ( about 20 guys in their total). Our photographer was able to capture the most stunning pics due to the landscape and beauty of all the surrounding elements. All of our 200+ guests were fed and content. Many had comments about how wonderful the food was (And it was delicious). Melissa made sure my husband and I ate and got to enjoy each detail of that day. We all had a wonderful time. Melissa made sure all the guests were kept hydrated before the ceremony and that everyone knew where to go. Its hard to keep things organized with such a crowd, but she did a superb job and the wedding went on without a hitch. I thoroughly recommend this venue to any and every bride. It comes with everything you desire: A bridal/groom suite, a beautiful plantation house, a reception hall, a beautiful terrace, a garden ceremony site, a view of a lake, a chapel, I mean everything! Because of the Hudson Manor, our wedding was a dream come true! Thank you Melissa!

As parents of the Bride we were very pleased with our choice of Hudson Manor for our daughter's wedding. We felt like Melissa offered the best price in the venues we looked at. Melissa runs a tight ship and we appreciated that. The wedding day ran very smoothly. The DJ was wonderful. Her staff was very polite and professional. The compliments on how lovely everything was poured in. We were very pleased as was our daughter and son in law. We would highly recommend this venue. Lovely setting!

The Hudson Manor is the perfect wedding venue! We had the perfect wedding every couple dreams of. The great staff handled every aspect making it stress free for wedding party, family and friends to enjoy.

My daughter Meredith was married at The Hudson Manor this past weekend. What a wonderful day! In choosing a venue we wanted a director who would take my daughters ideas and dreams and make it her special day. The grounds were beautiful and spacious. Plantation setting, with a view of a lake and pasture in the garden area. We choose an outdoor wedding, but were comforted in the fact that we could also use the chapel located on the grounds if needed. The food was excellent and was prepared by a chef on site. The staff was very courteous and very attentive to our needs. Our director, Melissa Cogliati kept us informed of each step of the process as needed. I would highly recommend The Hudson Manor for any bride who is choosing a wedding venue. We are certainly happy we did!

My friend got married on 10/28/16 and everything was absolutely beautiful! Everything was organized, food was wonderful, and the venue is beautiful! All of the staff were very friendly and the owner and her husband were very organized. Great place for people to have a wedding!

TRULY A GRAND ESTATE!! We were referred by a friend to check into Hudson Manor as a wedding venue fro our wedding and it was the best referral I've ever gotten! We would highly recommend Hudson Manor to anyone wishing a gorgeous venue and stress free wedding!!

The Hudson Manor is a wonderful venue. Melissa and her staff were a pleasure to work with. I loved the fact that it is all-inclusive. Pretty much everything is included--not much for the bride to do! I know Melissa works with many couples, but throughout the planning process, she always made my husband and I feel like we were the only couple she was working with. The guests were impressed with how pretty and well put together my wedding was--this would have been possible without The Hudson Manor. My husband and I highly recommend--you won't be sorry!

My daughter got married on 10/15/16 and could not have picked a more perfect place to have her wedding an reception. When we first met Melissa Cogliati over a year and a half ago we knew we had made the right choice. She accommodated us to be able to tour Hudson Manor early in the morning while she was setting up for a wedding later that day. When looking for venues as the mother of the bride my one request was a place with a true back up plan for Mother Nature. Hudson Manor has 3 options, 2 outdoors and 1 full indoor chapel. Luckily Mother Nature cooperated for us and we were able to have it outside in the garden. Melissa is so organized and stayed in touch with us over the year and half of planning. She suggested several vendors for us and used several of her suggestions and we so glad we did. Everything on the day of the wedding was amazing. Melissa was always available throughout the day to ensure everything was perfect for my daughter. The food was excellent, we received many compliments from our guests. The wait staff were very professional and friendly. I can't thank Melissa enough for giving my daughter the wedding she imagined. I would recommend this venue to anyone that is looking for the "ideal" place to say "I do". Thank you just doesn't seem enough to say to everyone at Hudson Manor. You far exceeded our expectations!!!

Our son's wedding took place this past Sunday, the 23rd of October. One of the most beautiful weddings I've been to. Melissa and her staff took great care in preparing this life event for Zach and Ruth, one of the most amazing venues I've seen. The food was excellent, flowers were gorgeous and DJ was awesome. The wait staff we very professional, in all just a great place to have a wedding or any type of celebration. As mother of the groom, I want to thank Melissa and the staff at Hudson Manor for making this very special day for Zach and Ruth one that they will never forget, nor will I. I would recommend this venue to anyone that is looking for that "special' place to say their vowels. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.

I'm in the military and for the planning process I was unfortunately on deployment. My wife was in school and working and planning this wedding and dealing with me over seas and being from a military family I know exactly how tough that can be. And Melissa the owner was outstanding her recommendations were beyond amazing and the wedding went off without a hitch. I absolutely recommend having a wedding here there are so many options and Melissa is more than happy to work with you on making your dream wedding come true

My experience at The Hudson Manor was absolutely amazing. Even though we got married in the middle of a hurricane, Melissa made sure we had nothing to stress about! She was extremely accommodating due to the circumstances! Melissa is absolutely amazing to work with!

We were incredibly pleased with our wedding at the beautiful Hudson Manor, and we highly recommend this venue. The Cogliati's made everything wonderful and were extremely professional. The food was great and the staff were very good. They also provided you with very nice choices for food. Everything looked beautiful and done exactly to our specifications. Melissa did an excellent job at running the wedding, and it all went incredibly well! She thinks of everything and is right there with you every step of the way. Planning the wedding there was so easy and convenient, which was really important to us. The cost of our wedding was also very reasonable given everything you get and the amount of food that was available (versus other venues that we considered). The vendors, photographer, DJ, etc., that Melissa recommended and that she works with on a regular basis were great and a pleasure to work with as well. The Hudson Manor is a fantastic place to have an outdoor ceremony, and the Cogliati's keep it so beautiful and well maintained.

The Hudson Manor was the best place to have a wedding! We looked at tons of venues and once I called and talked to Melissa on the phone, I knew that Hudson Manor was for us. She has many years experience, is really friendly, and definitely knows what she is doing. They provide a list of EXCELLENT wedding vendors; everyone we met was amazing and we had a hard time choosing, so you can't go wrong. Once we saw the Hudson Manor, the deal was sealed and we booked the day of. The food was delicious, the views spectacular; and the night was amazing. The day of, they do everything they can to make the bride and groom feel special. Melissa and Glen really know how to host a fantastic wedding and if you are looking for a venue, Hudson Manor is a great place to have it.

I just got married at the Hudson Manor and wow the night could not have been any more perfect. From the beginning, Melissa was so helpful in helping my mom and I plan everything from the DJ and flowers to the food selections and table linens. The night of the ceremony we didn't have to worry about a thing because Melissa was making sure everything ran smoothly. The venue is beautiful with 3 locations to pick from for your ceremony and an elegant and beautiful reception hall. The food was delicious, the staff was helpful, and the service we received from Melissa was phenomenal. The all-inclusive package is of much better value than a lot of other venues we looked at and was perfect for our 150 guests. You will have no regrets in choosing The Hudson Manor for your wedding venue!

My daughter became engaged in early October of 2014. My daughter and i along with her fiance and his mother planned a Saturday to visit wedding venues. Hudson Manor was the first. Melissa Cogliati allowed us to visit while a wedding was being set up for that afternoon. We were shown the bridal suite for dressing, the grooms dressing room, the garden and chapel for choice of ceremony options, the patios and reception hall. All were amazing. I loved that everything was at one establishment. At that moment there was no doubt this was where our daughter was getting married. Mr. Cogliati is the chef so no caterer to choose. They provide two tastings of food selections so the bride and groom can make up their mind for their special menu. In the package you chose the price. From a selection of great venders Melissa works with the bride and groom chose the wedding cake baker, a photographer, florist, linens, and a person to perform the ceremony. Also the DJ. You can choose someone not recommended. This past Saturday was our daughter's wedding day. I have never been more relaxed. Throughout the entire year Melissa answered all questions. At the rehearsal Friday she had the reception hall ready. Flowers arrived Saturday. Everything was perfect the day of the wedding. The ceremony was held in the garden. The guests couldn't say enough about how amazing it all was for our family. Future brides go to the Hudson Manor first. You'll never regret it. Mary S.

The Hudson Manor is a terrific venue! Melissa is really professional and helpful throughout everything. The Manor grounds are so beautiful for pictures or just to soak in on your special day. The vendors that Melissa has to choose from are all very professional as well. The food was delicious and all my guests were thrilled how the day turned out as well as I!

The Hudson Manor is a great venue if you are looking for a professional staff and a beautiful site to have the most important day of your life! Melissa was a huge help in keeping everything organized through out the whole planning process and helped pick the best vendors in the area. The grounds of The Hudson Manor were very well kept and there was plenty of space for getting ready and taking pictures. Glenn did a fabulous job in the kitchen on the day of the event, the food was to die for and all our guests raved about the cuisine!

The Hudson Manor is a fantastic venue! Very organized, and professional. Although she works with many couples; Melissa made my husband and I feel like we were the only couple she was working with. Everything was handled perfectly, and with class. Each recommendation from The Hudson Manor's preferred vendor list was top notch, so when Melissa mentions that a particular venor is good... believe her! Hats off to Melissa's husband Glen. He is an amazing chef! The food was SO good! All of our guest raved about how good the food was! If you're looking for a venue that has EVERYTHING packaged like the most beautiful gift you have ever received; then The Huson Manor Estates is you place! Thank you Melissa and Glen for everything! Sincerely, Tamara and Wesley Everman

We had my daughter's wedding and reception at The Hudson Manor. It was an absolutely magical and awesome day. We enjoyed every minute. Melissa and her staff handled everything so I as the Mother of the Bride was actually able to enjoy the entire event. Venue is beautiful, service is amazing. I highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding.

From the minute we drove onto the property, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. Being very type A, I was looking for a venue that would make sure our day went off without a hitch. We booked at Hudson Manor more than a year before we got married and from the moment we told Melissa we wanted to get married there, she was WONDERFUL! She clearly knows what she is doing. She always made sure that our planning was on track. Via e-mails and phone calls she was very helpful and always happy to answer all questions, even if they weren’t venue related. The day of our wedding, she made sure everything happened on time. My husband and I did not have to worry about anything. She took charge of communicating with all the vendors so we didn’t have to worry about the details, set up, or arrival of anything to make sure our day was perfect. When the bridal party arrived, she made sure we had everything we needed. Our reception was perfect. While we had a buffet, she plated everything my husband and I wanted for dinner, including seconds if necessary. She kept us well hydrated and set everything up beautifully. We brought numerous things the day of our rehearsal that we needed her help setting up. We had seating cards, a centerpiece for the buffet table, crystals to jazz up the centerpieces, our champagne flutes, cake cutting/serving, etc. Not only did she make sure she knew exactly what our vision was, she made our vision become even better than we thought imaginable. Our wedding was perfect thanks to Melissa. We couldn’t recommend the Hudson Manor with more enthusiasm. Thank you so much for making our day perfect in every way!!

My daughter was married on 12/27/14 at the Hudson Manor, and it couldn't have been more wonderful. The winter day was warm and sunny, absolutely picture-perfect, and we were able to use the indoor and outdoor scenery of this beautiful venue to the max. Melissa, Glen and the entire Hudson Manor staff took such good care of us. As the MOB, the most thoughtful thing I recall was during the post-ceremony photo session of the bridal party and family during the cocktail hour, drinks and hors d'oeuvres were brought to us! No detail was overlooked by this attentive and professional team. It is true that the little things count, and they don't miss the little as well as big things....Truly the best!

Our wedding at The Hudson Manor was absolutely perfect in every way imaginable! Melissa is a true pleasure to work with, and she knows how to make the day run as smooth as possible. She took care of everything the day of the wedding, which made our day so much more enjoyable. The prices are incredibly reasonable, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and it truly is the perfect, all-inclusive package! With several different locations for ceremonies (including an on-site, BEAUTIFUL chapel) I can honestly say that anyone's wedding will be absolutely stunning no matter what! The food was delicious, the service was phenomenal, everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful -- all of our guests had a wonderful time, and we couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!

We searched near and far for the perfect place to have our special day. The Hudson Manor exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we first visited this exquisite country manor we were astounded. The owner/operator (Melissa Cogliati) is a shining beacon of quality and professionalism in an industry that can be overwhelming for soon-to-be-newlyweds. The Estate is maintained wonderfully, the grounds are meticulously groomed and the reception hall is charmingly beautiful. She has a phenomenal preferred vendor list and her on-site staff are wonderful. Melissa acts as the "day-of-coordinator" and is amazing at organizing everything! This lady truly knows her business and we cannot thank her and her staff enough!!

From the moment I first saw The Hudson Manor I knew it would be the perfect location for our September 27, 2014 wedding. The venue is simply beautiful - very old world southern elegance which is exactly what I wanted. I really loved the fact that everything was right there on site (great reception hall!) and that there were several options for the ceremony, including a chapel, in the event of inclement weather. Thankfully we had a perfect day and were able to have the ceremony outside in the garden. Melissa Cogliatti, the owner, was absolutely fantastic. She coordinated everything for our day (I did not have a separate wedding planner) and I felt confident throughout the entire planning process that things would go smoothly, which they did. From the lovely fruit and cheese platter that was provided for us while we were getting dressed to the reception buffet (which included prime rib) the food was absolutely outstanding. The whole experience was wonderful and just what we had hoped for. Cannot say enough positive things about it. Would definitely recommend this venue to any bride. Thank you Melissa!!

My mother and I planned the entire wedding out of state. We only visited the venue once, but it allowed us to see what was provided. Melissa, the venue owner, provided us with recommended vendors. Her recommendations accommodated everything we wanted! All my guests commented on how beautiful the wedding was and how they had such a great time. I honestly did not know how it would turn out, seeing that I had only been out once before the wedding and I must say it was exactly how I envisioned it! I am so grateful for all of Melissa's help, she really knows how to put a wedding together.

My wedding day was everything I ever imagined! The hudson manor has everything and more to make your special day perfect. The manor house included multiple rooms for the bridal party to get ready in that were beautiful. My wedding was outside and was surrounded by incredible scenery and my beautiful family and friends. When we entered the ballroom, I couldn't even beleive how gorgeous it was. The colors and decorations were spot on to what I wished for and everything was decorated and perfect. The room was lit with candles and dimmed chandeliers which gave the entire ballroom an elegant feel. Our dinner was fresh, hot, and incredibly delicious. Mellissa took care of everything from the beginning and not once did I need to ask for anything. She made me feel comfortable and confident and I never had to worry once on my special day. All of my guests were blown away and I received continuous compliments the entire night about the venue. It was absolutely amazing there nd I couldn't ask for a better, more beautiful wedding day then the one I had at The Hudson Manor.

If I could describe my wedding day at the hudson manor in one word it would simply be PERFECT. From the moment I saw the gorgeous location I knew that's where I wanted to have my wedding. Melissa took care of all my needs from start to finish. She organized everything and went over the top to make sure my day went as smooth as possible.Unfortunately, the weather did not permit the outdoor wedding that I initially planned for, but luckily the hudson manor had a beautiful chapel on site that we were able to move the ceremony into prior to guests arriving. The chapel was gorgeous and it accomidated everyone perfectly, not to mention kept us dry! The venue had a large outside area for my guests to enjoy as well as a gorgeous ballroom that was lit with grogeous candles and was everything I hoped for. Our dinner was prepared fresh and in house by the chef, and my goodness was it delicious! I had not a single worry the entire day and was able to enjoy my wedding and the company of loved ones. My wedding day was truly a dream come true and I can't think of a better place to celebrate. Two thumbs up from me! And a big thank you for all that was taken care of.

As soon as my mom & I pulled into Hudson Manor for the tour, we already knew that I was going to have my wedding there. The venue was everything I was looking for! Melissa was such a pleasure to work with. She would always respond to my emails promptly no matter what time of the day. She is one awesome wedding planner and makes sure that every detail is covered. Never once was I stressed or worried throughout the planning process as Melissa kept everything on track. Our wedding day was just perfect from the pre-ceremony until the end of the reception. I couldn't have imagined anything better! The Hudson Manor staff had excellent service as well as all the vendors that we chose through Melissa. My guests are still raving about how beautiful Hudson Manor is and that it was the best wedding they've been to. I can definitely say that I had my dream wedding thanks to such an amazing venue. Wish that we could go back and do it all over again!

I cannot believe how well everything was put together. From the beautiful setting, to the incredible cuisine - it was everything I had imagined. The old southern plantation is miles wide of beautiful scenery - the best "prop" there is for photography. The ballroom was very airy and light and made for a relaxing happy atmosphere. The food was just as professional and comforting as the staff!!! I cannot thank Melissa Cogliati (the owner) enough for planning and perfecting the day I had stressed so hard over!!! Made me wonder why I ever had in the first place. Happy happy bride

First off let me say the venue we chose is beyond breathtaking in early Spring. The grounds were immaculate and the plantation style home where we got ready was beautiful. My husband and I were so thrilled with the way the evening turned out, as were all of our friends and family. Everyone loved the food and the party area was turned into my dream for our reception. A big thanks to the staff for making our day amazing especially husband and wife owner duo Melissa & Glen. Michelle G

My Husband and I had the most amazing time at our wedding thanks to the venue we chose. The owner Melissa and attentive staff made it so I could relax on our big day and leave the details to them. Her husband handles the kitchen and the food was beyond belief. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the country setting and reception were. Our friends and family had an amazing time but more importantly my husband and I had a day that will remain with us for the rest of our lives. Thanks again Melissa and Glen!

There was no question, we were going to get married at the Hudson Manor! Melissa was such a joy to work with, and exceeded all of our expectations. The venue is gorgeous! Being able to have our dream wedding and reception all in one location was perfect. We were fortunate that the weather was perfect for our outdoor wedding. However, had it taken a turn for the worse, she has a beautiful little chapel that we could have used as well. She's got it all! We will forever be grateful and thankful for all she did for us!!!

I can't say enough about how amazing The Hudson Manor is! Melissa was always quick with a response to any questions I had and provided updates and reminders leading up to the wedding day. From the second we arrived, everything was taken care of and ran so smoothly, we were able to enjoy the day, stress free. The grounds and house are stunning, and we've been told multiple times by guests that the food was the best they ever had at a wedding. I highly recommend The Hudson Manor to anyone who wants a beautiful, stress free, fairy-tale wedding day!

We could not have been more pleased with the overall experience at The Hudson Manor. Melissa obviously cares a great deal about every little detail - as the outcome was perfection! The wedding was outdoors - and it was beautiful!! The reception was in their beautiful ballroom - and it was so much better than we could have known. Thank you, Melissa, for all your hard work and for making this very important date so wonderful for everyone involved.

It was everything we wanted it to be and we had such a great time. I think it is the most beautiful venue not only for photos but for all of our special moments throughout the day. The rooms inside the house were perfect places for us to all get ready in with our friends and family, the garden was the perfect spot for our first look, the foyer was the perfect spot for us to exchange gifts, and the entire property allowed us amazing photo opportunities (the fall tress and leaves didn't hurt either!). I am so thankful we chose the Hudson Manor not only for the venue but for the direction and vendor information Melissa provided us with too. Every vendor was wonderful and delivered exactly what I had in mind. I definitely recommend!

As soon as my fiancee and I drove up to The Hudson Manor and were greeted by the owner, Melissa, we knew we were in good hands. The estate was like a dream and had everything a bride could wish for. Our wedding day came with no bride jitters as Melissa treated us like family. The day was truly streee free. We celebrated in style in the magnificent ballroom with fireworks afterword. Thank you Melissa and her professional staff. Definitely a Five Star wedding and would highly recommend The Hudson Manor!!!

My wedding was THE BEST!!! I couldn't have asked for anything better from Melissa and her staff. Friendly and professional, they treated us like family from the very start. The estate is magnificent, meticulously kept up. The food was so tasty, not like other weddings I've attended. It was fresh and DELICIOUS! Soooo many compliments from my guests too. Thank you Melissa and family for making my wedding the best wedding ever!

As the Mother of the Bride, I can't say enough great things about Melissa and the Hudson Manor Estate. We chose The Hudson Manor for it's convenient location to Raleigh, it's beautiful gardens and grounds, and the incredible package they offered us. We visited so many venues and nothing came close to The Hudson Manor in value, convenience and the confidence we felt after touring. The owners are wonderful to work with, as are their preferred vendors. We chose off their preferred list for all our vendors and were NOT disappointed. The process was easy and stress free with Melissa helping us from the day we signed the contract until after the reception ended. Friendly staff, delicious food and a park like estate. Highly recommend this venue!!!

I am finally sitting down and taking the time to review the vendors I used at my wedding, and I had to start with the amazing place I got married! The Hudson Manor made my dream wedding come to life. The place itself was just beautiful, and when you add in the excellent food and over-the-top service we received, I just can't help but give it the best rating possible! If I could give it more stars, I would!! Seriously, Melissa was so helpful to me. I felt like I had a wedding planner. Thank you, Melissa, for caring about me and my wedding day. You and your staff gave me a memory that will be forever sweet!!

Melissa (the owner and coordinator) made it so easy for us to find and book vendors. We barely had to do any searching, which was a lot less stressful! The grounds are absolutely beautifully kept and maintained. Overall, I'm very pleased with how my wedding turned out!
