Most beautiful venue!

This venue was so beautiful! Nicole and Carol were amazing at helping set up and working with us. Both the inside and the outside was so incredibly amazing.

Every guest at our wedding commented that they had never seen a more beautiful wedding. This venue is seriously stunning. Our wedding was beyond even my very best vision of it - it was truly perfect. Nicole and her team at the Manor House, including Carol who was so kind and thoughtful, are to thank for pretty much all of it! The staff were generous and attentive, and they all seemed to genuinely care about making the event special. Nicole was so fabulous to work with, she met with us and talked with us over the phone many times, always making herself available, and always when she answered questions it was the perfect answer. We live in Brooklyn, NY so our availability to see the venue and meet was limited and Nicole really worked with us to make it easy on us. It was so helpful that everything was handled in one place - from the food (which is truly delicious, guests commented on how good the appetizers and dinner both were), to the ceremony set up and the reception and dance floor - having it all managed by Nicole made it so that we didn’t have any complications trying to manage it from out of state. I had a lot of personal touches and little details that I felt very particular about, and the staff at the Manor House took care of them all and Nicole made sure that everything really was perfect. She took care of us and I loved knowing, on the wedding day, that we were in very capable hands and we had nothing to worry about. It made the experience so much more grounded and enjoyable to feel like it was all taken care of and we could relax and enjoy, and that is what we did!

Absolutely amazing. The staff was wonderful, the food was delicious, the grounds are gorgeous. They handle everything. No need to stress about anything. Would definitely recommend for brides who are looking for that intimate wedding. The pricing is great and you get a lot more for your money. Even over a traditional venue. I don't live in the area but we drove 2 hours to use this venue. Absolutely amazing!!!

Beautiful place for wedding reception! If you are looking for a place to take care of food and alcohol - this place is great. Great variety of different packages and seating arrangements. So many compliments on the food- everyone thought it was amazing. Nicole was great to work with and very responsive. She was there for the reception as well to make sure everything went smoothly. The bartenders and staff were so kind and always made sure we were happy!

This is such a beautiful place, and the staff was some of the best in the service industry I have ever worked with. They were so attentive and professional; I could not have asked for a better ceremony venue.

The Manor House was everything I could have dreamed of for a ceremony venue. Dana was great to work with and had everything running smoothly. Even though it was a little cloudy, the house and lake were a beautiful back drop for our wedding.

We opted for a small wedding (3 dozen guests) and married in front of the fire place in the Manor House. We had hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and dinner on the terrace. This venue is absolutely stunning inside and out and provided for timeless photographs that demonstrate a lot of class. The food was amazing, the staff was appropriately responsive, and the planner was very kind and helpful (Dana). I hope to have our 25th & 50th anniversary parties here :)

We cannot stress enough what an incredible value and amazing venue this is. The team at Kellogg delivers.

Typically, it doesn't take much to satisfy us. If a business delivers on our expectations we are happy. However, Dana and the team at the Kellogg Manor House have far exceeded any previously set standards for excellence. The team is simply outstanding. As soon as we relaxed and handed over the reigns things went from "planned" to "fairytale" instantly.
- Flawless coordination and execution
- Graceful, helpful, yet never in-the-way service
- Always in the right place at the right time to help
- Making exceptions and quickly adapting
- Gracefully and professionally dealing with one of our drunk guests and doing a water shot
- And most importantly: keeping the bride happy!

We had our wedding ceremony here and it was beautiful and Dana was amazing. She made sure everything was done and we had no worries that day. In my eyes everything went smooth and it was a perfect day. Thank you so much.

The Kellogg Manor provided us an absolutely flawless wedding. I was shocked by how smoothly everything went. The grounds and house are simply stunning. We had an all indoor wedding, with the main room as our ceremony space and reception room. The bridal party sat in the foyer, which worked out great. We used the dining room as the cake room, breakfast nook for gifts, and closed in patio for dancing. My guests were raving, literally raving, about how fantastic the manor was. One of them said that if he ever wins the lottery, he would like to buy it and move there; it was his perfect vision.

Nicole was amazing to work with. She answered every one of my many emails. She was timely and patient. She gave me advice, reassured me, and was 100% honest with me. I credit the success of my wedding mostly to her. The waitstaff and everyone else at the manor was very helpful, excited, and very professional.

I loved my wedding at the Manor so much, I even named my new cat Kellogg to commemorate the experience.

We love officiating weddings at Kellogg Manor House. Nicole and her staff are very organized and professional and yet have an easy going attitude that make working with them very enjoyable. The beautiful pagoda garden is set on Gull Lake where we have officiated most of our ceremonies. We have also done intimate ceremonies in the flower garden which features a lovely fountain. (the bee balm and phlox smell heavenly) For an indoor wedding the manor house is nice too. The grounds are well kept and provide a beautiful setting. Guests love touring the house during the cocktail hour and learning about it's history. We highly recommend this venue!
