We just had our wedding at the Manor House at Prophecy Creek, and we had an amazing time! Our guests could not stop raving about how stunning the venue was. With the walls of the tent open to let the air in during most of the reception, it almo...st felt like being outside. Below are a few points about our experience with the Manor House in more detail, but the takeaway is, they are a wonderful wedding venue, and you would be lucky to hold your wedding at such a fabulous space!
The bridal and groom suites are perfect. They’re spacious, nicely laid out, and easy to relax in. My wife’s mother cried as soon as she walked into the suit – she said it made it feel real that we were getting married. It is a wonderful place to begin your wedding day.
The ceremony venue is gorgeous! Surrounded by water, you stand on a slightly raised stone platform and gaze out at the beautiful ponds, fields, and trees (at least until your beloved arrives).
The Manor House is very well-managed and staffed. They have got everything figured out. Kerry, the main point of contact, was always prompt with responses to our questions and had everything lined up exactly like we wanted it on the day. He also had a great sense of humor about everything, which comes in handy when the stress level gets high. We loved working with him the whole time. Catherine, our day-of-coordinator, came in like a champion. Within half an hour, she knew our wedding plan and décor better than we did, and she kept us on track the whole night. She was warm and fun, and it felt like we’d known her for months, even though we just met her a few days before the wedding. The whole staff at the Manor House was lovely, kind, efficient, and polite.
The food at the Manor House is awesome! Beef, chicken, fish, veggie, vegan: it was all good. In fairness, you’re unlikely to be able to taste anything the day of your wedding (I didn’t believe it either, but that’s a real thing), but the guests loved everything they ate, and everything we tried at the tasting blew us away.
Dance Floor: I add this because it was our main concern with the venue. It’s an L-shaped dance floor, when you count the area in the tent and the band room together. The band is recessed back from the main floor almost out of sight from the tables. The spacing and size made us nervous. As it so happened, it worked perfectly. The room with the band became the main dance floor. People who wanted to sweat and rock out packed in there, and we had a fabulous time. Older/calmer members of the party hovered and danced just into the tented area, still easily able to enjoy the music and the party, but far enough outside to avoid the crowd gathered closer to the band. We even managed to run a 190-person Hora up there (which admittedly devolved into insanity, but what hora doesn’t?) If you like to dance, and people in your party like to dance, that dance floor won’t get in your way.
Did we mention that you can bring your own alcohol? You can bring your own alcohol! What a massive savings that proved to be! We looked at places that wanted $25 per person or more for alcohol that we couldn’t choose. We saved at least a few thousand dollars on liquor and could bring whatever we wanted.
In conclusion, we loved the Manor House throughout the whole planning process, and especially on our wedding day. We know choosing a venue can be unbelievably stressful and overwhelming, and you won’t go wrong if you choose the Manor House for your wedding day.
