“The team at Summit Manor was a dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication was always timely, thorough, and proactive, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous - a stunning outdoor space that our guests loved, and a timeless interior that had made for truly breathtaking work of art photos. The day itself was stress-free, thanks to the incredible staff. The food was out of this world, with a high-end supper club quality that had our guests going back for seconds and thirds.

“From the start, working with Tracy to plan for our event was fantastic! She was genuinely excited for us, transparent with all the pricing, and helped us customize and make our day the best version for us. Everything went so smoothly the day of thanks to all the great staff. The venue was the perfect backdrop for a St. Paul wedding; it was intimate and cozy, but also a fun and beautiful setting for guests to explore and enjoy. And the food!! The short ribs are to die for, and we got so many great comments about it all. We cannot recommend this venue highly enough!”

“We had our wedding here and it was the best day ever! The coordinator, Victoria, was a dream to work with! She was responsive, helpful, and helped make our day go so smoothly! The place itself required little decor as the bricks and natural elements were so cute! The space layout was great for people to enjoy food, dancing, and convenient to move between the ceremony and reception! And the rooftop photos were such as unique experience and a way to have a private moment as a couple! 10/10”
