Awarded Best of Zola
Art & Missy were truly a joy to work with!! They are just wonderful people!! The day before our wedding, there was a huge storm and they were there the entire day helping clean up under the tent to make it perfect for the big day! The house and views are breathtaking! What really drew us to choose Manor House though, was the length of time you got to spend there. For weddings, you have the place from Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning. The days leading up to the wedding will forever hold a special place in our hearts! Not once did we feel stressed getting everything ready for the big day! We truly love the Manor House! It is the perfect place to have your wedding and make memories that will last a lifetime for you, your friends, and loved ones!!
