“Angela and her family have created such a unique, inviting, and beautiful venue. They treat their couples and vendors with such kindness. And are always available if you need anything. As a photographer, I love working at this venue. And there are a wealth of spots for great photo ops. The care that went into the renovation of this property is next level. Even the bathrooms are well designed with vintage pieces! I love all of the unique vintage touches throughout the property. There is ample space for everyone to get ready. A well lit barn for your ceremony. And an inviting yet spacious dance floor. I love that the party can be indoors, with lounge seating possible outdoors for those who want it. You will not be disappointed hosting your wedding here!”

“The Inn at Leola Village made planning our wedding feel effortless from start to finish. Their coordinators responded quickly to every question and kept everything on schedule without us having to worry about a thing. We loved that it's a one-stop shop with accommodations, catering, floral, and event space all included, which took so much stress off our plate. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue itself—the spacious grounds, the food, and the whole experience. The fact that we could stay on site and host an after party there made it feel like a true celebration. Honestly, this place is worth every penny if you want your wedding day to be perfect and easy.”

“I don't know if I can put into words how meaningful Drumore Mill is to us after having our wedding there this past weekend. The venue is simply magical. So many of our guests commented on the beauty of the venue and the pictures don't do it justice. We used the historic house for our rehearsal dinner and stayed over night on the main property after our wedding. Every single space has been thoughtfully curated by Thuy and her team. Thuy was a joy to work with and truly cares about the experience every couple has. We already want to go back! Drumore also allows you to choose all your own vendors which was important to us. I also was adamant about having our close family and friends staying close by after our wedding so this was perfect for us! We also got to have a farewell coffee and breakfast in the Grist Mill on Sunday morning which was a lovely farewell for everyone who had traveled so far. We held our ceremony in the pavilion, cocktail hour in the cave, and reception in the barn. Everything was beyond perfect! We only toured one venue because we knew immediately this was the one.”

“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!!”

“Historic Shady Lane provided excellent communication throughout our wedding planning process. Their coordinator Caitlyn was very good about keeping us informed and addressing any of our questions or concerns. The venue itself was beautifully stunning, with a gorgeous greenhouse and very spacious reception tent. When it rained on our wedding day, they were quick to accommodate and rearrange the setup so our guests could stay nice and dry inside the greenhouse. They also offered golf cart transportation, which our guests really appreciated. While their preferred vendor list had some great options, we ended up finding an amazing makeup artist that wasn't on their list. Overall, Historic Shady Lane contributed greatly to making our special day unforgettable.”
