The Manor

Heather @ The Manor and her crew have always been very accommodating to me and to the couples whom I've married there. The food is wonderful, too! (On a sidenote, one of the chefs there was a former couple of mine...I had the opportunity to marry him and his wife in a ceremony back in 2008.)
I was able to participate in an open house that The Manor hosted earlier this year. There were many wedding vendors who has been hand selected to attend and set up booths to promote their services to couples and companies looking to hold an event. It was great to "see" what an event could look like!
The Manor is very roomy, provides different themes inside and outside, for clients to choose from. The gardens onsite are wonderful and nicely kept. I look forward to visiting The Manor again for a wedding that I will be presiding over at the end of May.

I rated this venue a two because although The Manor is a truly beautiful and romantic place to wed, unfortunetely, the venue needs to be updated (parts of it are stuck in the 70s) and the staff can be unprofessional at times. Looking back on my wedding, I am glad that we used The Manor, but if you really care about how your food tastes, The Manor might not be a good choice for you. The Manor served the wrong dinner menu at my wedding! I specifically talked to the chef and explained that I did not want orange chicken, yet that is exactly what was served to my guests. Luckily, there were not many complaints about the food, so I did not make too much of a fuss. Also, The Manor ran out of food for my guests and didn't replenish until my Wedding Coordinator stepped in and demanded they do. I had given them a correct count on people, yet they simply did not make enough food.

This looks like a very beautiful and elegant place for a wedding (both ceremony and reception) but it's not very accommodating. For instance, we wanted to have a kosher wedding, but since they don't have a special kosher kitchen they would need to close off any other events from happening on our wedding day to accommodate this... which would mean that we would have to rent not one banquet hall with them but the whole place (includes 3 halls I believe)... this was definitely outside our reasonable budget, quite unfortunate since it looked like a wonderful place.

Wonderful service! We had a few little glitches, but overall they really made sure we were taken care of and all our needs were met. Every guest complimented us on the food quality and amount! Perfect spot!
