Perfect All-inclusive Venue

I would recommend Cobalt Manor to anyone looking for a beautiful all-inclusive venue (you just need to find a DJ/Band). The owner Lindsey helped me every step of the way and put my mind at ease.

Wedding 2020

For a 2020 wedding, I couldn’t have asked for better people to help us organize our day. It was beautiful and more than I imagined.

Cobalt Manor- a beautiful place to celebrate your big day

My wife and I had decided that we wanted to celebrate our wedding day somewhere close to home and where we could spend the majority of the day outside. We had heard of Cobalt Manor before as we live fairly close to it. We ended up holding our reception there and it was everything we hoped for. The place is gorgeous and the outside area had more than enough space for our party of 75 to roam around and mingle. The staff worked hard to make sure that we did not need to worry about anything. The chef is AMAZING. We could not have been happier with our food. The owners are friendly, responsive, flexible, and all around great people. It is obvious that they put a great deal of pride and effort into the making Cobalt Manor a place for everyone to enjoy.

Additionally, we have been to the Elizabeth Esther Cafe located within Cobalt Manor for happy hour. They have a cute, cozy little bar area, a beautiful and clean dining area, a nice drink selection with some tasty options, and DELICIOUS food!
