“I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Knowlton Mansion and Conroy Catering. From my first tour through our actual wedding day, they were incredible. Knowlton itself is SO beautiful. It was important to me to find a venue that felt like an experience, where guests could wander around, explore different spaces, go outside, and take everything in rather than spending the entire night in one ballroom. Knowlton was exactly that. The mansion and grounds have so much character that you really don't need a ton of decor because the venue speaks for itself. We had our ceremony outside, moved indoors afterward, had the fire pits going outside, and added the secret wine cellar that opened during the reception, which was SUCH a fun surprise. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how much they loved all the different spaces. I also loved how much freedom we had to make the wedding feel like US. Knowlton provides so many amazing vendors, but we brought in some of our own as well, and they embraced everything. We literally had a tattoo artist tattooing guests during the reception and, at one point, a full-blown mosh pit to Rage Against the Machine haha, while still having all the traditional wedding moments we wanted. Nothing ever felt cookie-cutter or like we had to fit into their idea of what a wedding should be. They just moved with us and helped make it happen. Conroy Catering was also wonderful. Our guests RAVED about the hors d'oeuvres, and every single one we chose was a hit. They also accommodated two signature cocktails that were a little more involved than their standard offerings, and they turned out amazing. And the STAFF!! Cara gave me my initial tour and immediately made me feel so welcome. Eileen worked with me throughout basically the entire year of planning and was an absolute lifesaver. She was informative, organized, kept track of all my notes, and made the entire process so much easier. Then Rebecca was our coordinator on the actual wedding day and was AMAZING. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I could hand everything over to her and actually enjoy my wedding. All three were exceptionally kind, organized, and made me feel genuinely special and cared for. Our bridal attendant and waitstaff were incredible too, even making sure I actually got to eat some of our hors d'oeuvres throughout the night! Finally, the VALUE is incredible. Weddings get unbelievably expensive so quickly, and Knowlton's packages include so much for a very reasonable price. Between the gorgeous venue, catering, open bar, staff, coordination, and everything else included, we were able to have a wedding that felt grand and beautiful without the enormous price tag I saw at so many other venues. Our wedding was beautiful, unique, fun, personal, and completely US, and Knowlton embraced every bit of it. Our guests loved it, WE loved it, and I would choose Knowlton Mansion again in a heartbeat!!”
