Gianna Paredes was my contact and she was excellent. Kept me on time, researched answers to my questions, provided calm supportive guidance and, most importantly (for me), responded to everything with quick accuracy. She was present the day of the wedding and helped coordinate all aspects. The BEST! Overall, the location is beautiful with lovely garden spaces. Contacts were provided for those outsourced components—florist (who matched bride’s color choices exactly) and a photographer for a very short notice wedding.

We are so grateful to the entire team at Melhorn Manor for making our wedding day happen!! It's hard to even know where to begin - from start to finish, every detail of the day was magical thanks to the team's hard work and expertise. When my fiancé and I started the wedding planning process, we toured plenty of venues, but we knew right away that Melhorn Manor was different in the best way. We were used to being rushed through other venue tours, dismissed because our wedding wasn't big enough, and generally being made to feel more like dollar signs than excited newlyweds-to-be. But our experience at Melhorn Manor couldn't have been further from this - we met Allory for the tour, and before we took a step through the property, he took the time to introduce himself and the Melhorn family and to share the lovely story of how Melhorn Manor came about. We didn't feel rushed or pressured like we had at other venues, and Allory really took the time to understand our vision for our big day and help us imagine it around the property. We left that day glowing and feeling sure that "this is the one!" And how right we were!! We really can't say enough positive things about our wedding day. Getting ready in the amazing bridal suite and Groom's room was such a fun and special way to kick off the day. As the ceremony approached, it was so clear that the team was all working so hard to make sure all the decor was set up, every detail was thought through, and every moment went off without a hitch. What a special and humbling feeling it is to have so many people invested in making your special day as magical and memorable as you've always hoped it would be - it's impossible to express the depth of our gratitude. Our wedding day was quite a rainy one, but the Melhorn team had a plan for everything. Melhorn Manor had the most robust rain plan of any venue we toured: some venues' plans had felt more like an afterthought, while Melhorn offers an entirely separate building that can be used for the ceremony in inclement weather. It was such a huge relief to feel like we didn't have to worry about adjusting every detail on the fly, and to go into our rainy wedding day knowing that, regardless of the weather, it would be just as beautiful and special as we always imagined. We had and continue to have SO many of our guests, both on the wedding night and afterwards, tell us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. So many glowing comments about the beautiful venue, the fun had on the dance floor, the amazing and kind staff, and all of the countless details that go into making the day memorable. We couldn't agree more that Melhorn Manor was the perfect backdrop for our special day, and we have the incredible team to thank for all the hard work, attention to detail, and love that went into making this the wedding of our dreams. We, and our families and loved ones, will truly cherish the memory of this day for a lifetime. We are so grateful to have had the absolute joy of working with Allory, Jess, and the entire Melhorn Manor team. They were enthusiastic, thoughtful, kind, and so organized at every step of the way. We can't imagine what our special day would have looked like anywhere other than Melhorn Manor - what an amazing place that will hold a special place in our hearts forever. We simply can't thank the entire staff enough!!

The Stone Mill 1792 was the perfect venue for our baby shower.

Our experience at The Arches for my daughter's wedding was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the venue’s stunning architecture. The Arches is an old cathedral that has been lovingly renovated into a wedding venue, and it retains all of its historic charm. The intricate stained glass windows, soaring arched beams, and gorgeous stonework created the most breathtaking and romantic atmosphere for the big day. What truly sets The Arches apart, though, is the care and dedication of the owner, Jane. She went above and beyond at every turn, ensuring that every detail was perfect and that we felt supported throughout the planning process. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched. One moment that really stood out was when a snowstorm was forecasted just days before the wedding. Naturally, we were stressed about how this would affect our guests, but Jane immediately stepped in to help. She not only coordinated with a local hotel to secure discounted rates for our guests but also arranged transportation options to ensure everyone could attend safely. It was an incredible relief to have someone so thoughtful and proactive on our side. Thanks to The Arches and Jane, my daughter’s wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be and more. The guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue’s timeless beauty and warm ambiance (even with the snow), and we’ll always remember how special they made this once-in-a-lifetime celebration. If you’re looking for a wedding venue with breathtaking beauty, rich history, and unmatched service, The Arches is the place to go—it’s truly exceptional!

My husband and I had our Christmas-themed wedding at the Eden on December 10th of 2021, and I can’t sing the praises of the wedding coordinators, concierges, catering and janitorial staff enough. From start to finish we felt genuinely cared for by everyone in the resort...and I know how often they host weddings, but each and every person on the Eden team accommodated us in such a joyful way; as if we were the only wedding in the building. And it felt like they were sincerely happy for us. Which made the day feel really, really special. Madeline and Felicia, our wedding/day-of coordinators, attended to every last detail of the day, making sure that absolutely nothing was missed. They were present, intentional, flexible, and at times even borderline protective of me and my family. And that’s anything a bride could ever ask for. I couldn’t be more grateful. As far as the planning process goes: as a project manager, I very much appreciated the explicit, direct nature of their policies and procedures. After offering me several tours of the venue (MOB was from out of town and MOG wanted to see it on separate occasions) and answering all of my many many questions via phone and email, we had several formal meetings to comb through all the details and make sure we were on the same page. Maddie was able to help me delegate and manage my expectations, especially when it came to who was responsible for what, and even then bent over backwards to help me and my bridal party with day-of tasks. Thanks again to everyone on The Eden Resort & Suites staff. You were such a crucial part of our big day and we appreciate your hard work!

Historic Ashland was quite literally a dream! Every inch of this venue is thoughtfully curated and well-maintained throughout any season of the year. All of our photos turned out incredible with so many beautiful backdrops throughout the property just waiting to be photographed. When choosing a wedding venue we had many different wants on our list and Historic Ashland fit them all: separate bridal and groomsmen getting ready areas, barn space for reception, outdoor ceremony, and more. However what we really focused on as our 2 non-negotiables: great photo opportunities and a good backup plan for if it rained. With so many options for ceremony locations on site, we were covered for our dream outdoor wedding and a gorgeous indoor one too, if it came to that. Some added bonuses along the way that we did not expect: how easy the team made it to execute our dream and leave no stone unturned during the wedding planning process. Throughout the year as I was planning decor and my vision for the day, it was incredibly helpful that the team was so active on social media. I got to see so many different examples of what past couples had done to customize the space for their wedding. It made it that much easier to narrow down my options and truly envision how it would look. Something I would have never known I needed was the built-in day of coordinator every Ashland couple gets for their wedding. We had the wonderful Amanda as our DOC and I was blown away by how she was able to set up all of our decor exactly how I wanted it. And then furthermore, when it came to packing up at the end of the night, it was done so quickly, with nothing left behind. Not to mention, the entire day went so smoothly, and I felt confident in what we were doing every step of the way. I really can't recommend this venue enough. 10/10

It’s hard to find the words to truly capture just how stunning Pine Ridge Farm is. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, but what makes it even more special is Kristin, her husband, and their entire team—they are nothing short of amazing! Throughout our wedding, countless guests couldn’t stop raving about the property. Two of my bridesmaids are now dreaming of getting married at Pine Ridge, and even my mom joked that the venue and service made her want to get married all over again! Beyond the incredible venue, Kristin’s preferred vendors are phenomenal. From the delicious catering by Killer Kitchen and the gorgeous photos captured by McKayla at Bellflower Design, to the unforgettable service from my new best friend Morgan at Pour Maidens, everything was flawless. Even three weeks later, my guests are still showering me with compliments!

The dance floor is very big and our guests loved the outside patios. There’s so many great areas here for pictures. Dan, Kayla, and Brianna were great to work with.

Shellie and the Hotel Du Pont team are total pros. They were very accommodating throughout the process and were always willing to work with us to make our day as special as possible. The food and drinks were all terrific and the service was exceptional. We were attracted to Hotel Du Pont as a venue because of the opportunity to host a “Wedding Weekend” and not only did we get to pull that off, but Hotel Du Pont made it a better experience than we could have hoped for. Great food, beautiful ballrooms and accommodations, and a professional and friendly staff made this a home run wedding venue for us.

They were so great to work with from start to finish! I knew I wanted a venue that wasn’t your traditional location and this was just that. The castle vibes were everything and so different for guests to experience! If you’re looking at 200 guests, Stokesay can accommodate so much more! We estimated 240, but ended up with 200 and the ballroom was so spacious, no one felt crowded. We had great feedback from our guests regarding the entire venue as a whole and food as well! Response times and communication were always great and everything we had asked for was translated perfectly for our day. They did a good job at taking notes on our file of things we wanted and were doing differently. Would definitely recommend!! My husband and I can’t wait to come back every once in a while to visit the pub and reminisce on our special day!
