“Melhorn Manor was truly the most incredible, perfect wedding venue. From the first time we met with Allory and Jess, and throughout the entire planning process, we could tell how much they genuinely care about their couples and their events. The venue itself is absolutely incredible. There are two beautiful ceremony space options- we used the outdoor space, an epic cocktail hour space in the old horse stable that is SO cool and unique, and an incredibly large, stunning reception space. There is also another barn that we used for the guys to hang out in, plus an amazing bridal suite and groom’s den. Everywhere you turn, there are gorgeous photo opportunities. The property has the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern elegance, and it gave us exactly the vibe we were hoping for. We also loved the firepit area - we brought supplies for s’mores, had guitar/chill vibes, and it made the night feel even more magical. There were plenty of great places for bars, too. We had one outside and inside during cocktail hour and then used the indoor bar during the reception, and the whole flow worked perfectly. Our guests were literally obsessed. Everyone kept talking about how beautiful, unique, and perfect the venue was. Melhorn Manor is stunning, spacious, well-run, and truly unforgettable- but what makes it even better is that the people behind it are the BEST to work with. We are so grateful we chose Melhorn and would recommend it a million times over.”

“First of all, what a gorgeous venue! We had our wedding reception in the crystal ballroom and it was beautiful. The Eden staff worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everything went smoothly. I can’t say enough how helpful Megan Supeck was in our planning process. She was so communicative and transparent. She seemed as happy as we were about our wedding! From beginning to end, she went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed. We also enjoyed staying in the Paradise Suite the night of the wedding. They had a bottle of champagne read for us when we got to the room and complimentary breakfast the next morning. I was so stressed with wedding planning, but Megan and her team really put me at ease.”

“Drumore was one of the first venues we visited. After visiting several others, our hearts and minds kept going back to Drumore. It just felt right. We got married in July on a hot, summer Sunday, Drumore Estate was not only a stunning backdrop for our forever, but also, Marnie and the rest of the Drumore staff really are the dream team! They got us from start to finish with tons of support and stellar service every step of the way! It was incredible to see a list of notes come to life on our beautiful wedding day. Everything was picture perfect, on time, and just the way we imagined. No one even noticed the little issues, because Marnie and her team would ensure everything remained smooth. The staff was always incredibly excited, even when dealing with the stickier details. Thank you so much for everything you did—not just for us, but for our family and friends. Thank you for your patience and your kindness. If we had to do it again, we'd choose Drumore Estate every time. You all are the absolute best!!! Side note for couples looking for budget info: We felt that Drumore had a really great pricing structure/package as compared to other venues. There wasn't really any guesswork into how much the offerings would cost. The venue is based on dates and guests and then everything else is more or less a la carte, which offers a tremendous amount of flexibility for any budget”
