Such an Incredible Experience
The Manor House was truly amazing to host our wedding. We only had a few months to plan everything because our original venue fell through. The MH did phenomenal at helping us plan our special day with a tight timeline. Allison Ritz was our sales representative and from day one, she had been such an easygoing, considerate, and supportive person. She answered all of our questions, was organized and communicated swiftly. I can’t imagine pulling everything off without her help. She even surprised us with an upgraded Bridal Suite and I couldn’t have felt more special. The day of the wedding went so so smooth. I was anxious leading up to the event, but the MH staff including our wonderful day-of coordinator Jacob and bridal supporter Cadence, made the evening so so relaxed and organized. The timeline of events were all on time, flowed seamlessly, and we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. The food was phenomenal, we opted for a pasta station and everything was fresh and hot when served. Our bartender did amazing, I’m so sorry I don’t remember her name but she was excellent and served guests quickly and was so kind! The venue itself was beautiful, we had our ceremony in the Atrium and reception in the Carolina Ballroom. We were able to take pictures outside in the garden area which was meticulously maintained and beautiful. One of the most important things that I wanted for our wedding was to have our beloved beagle Dolly be a part of the ceremony. The Manor House was so accommodating and let us share our special day with our pooch. Overall, the experience couldn’t have gone better and the staff were truly one of a kind.

Beautiful Venue with Fantastic Customer Service
Manor House was a perfect venue for us. We were back in the Carriage House and it felt like our own private space. It was beautiful and spacious enough for not only our reception but also our ceremony. Allison was our sales manager and she was a joy to work with. She answered all our questions and was so patient and kind about all the little concerns that my parents and I brought to her. Allison felt like she truly cares and is a partner in making your day great. She also helped us with multiple parts of planning. She went to bat for us to asked for little accommodations so that our day would be just how we wanted. Also, Manor House provides a seating chart template and a program that helps you place items in the venue. It was so helpful for me to visualize everything and make it perfect. More, the staff go above and beyond to make the day perfect. They were so kind and helped us with so many little details that I was concerned over. Shout out to Jacob and Allie for being the best at customer service and making our day truly magical and effortless. We were so so impressed by their work and care for our event. Even more, the grounds are beautiful and make for great pictures. You and your guests will really love the experience.

Beautiful June 2025 Wedding
We just had our wedding @ The Carriage House @ The Manor House in June 2025. Beautiful venue.... Carriage House was rustic and charming.....beautiful setting and best is they only hold 1 wedding at a time here compared to main house. Food was excellent & service was outstanding. We had use of Carriage House 2 hours before wedding to get dressed and take pictures, plus use of the entire grounds for more pictures. Easy access and parking for guests. Beautiful layout. Allison and her team were terrific! Professional, Organized and very attentive to our needs! She was with us every step of the way! Would highly recommend! Beautiful venue!

Beautiful Venue, Incredible Staff
My husband and I could not be happier that we chose The Manor House for our wedding venue! We knew we wanted the ceremony and reception to be in the same place, and the Manor House has so many beautiful options for the ceremony. I fell in love with the atrium and knew I had to have my ceremony there. The rest of the grounds are beautiful as well, it's like they have 5 or 6 different mini venues across the property, which makes for gorgeous and diverse photos. We were apprehensive at first about having to use their catering service because we wanted to be able to shop around, but ended up being so much easier that we didn't have to coordinate with another vendor, and the food was absolutely delicious. Several guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! Not only that, but when one of my bridesmaids realized during the reception that she had accidentally ordered a meal with pork in it, the staff very quickly made some rice for her to have to replace the portion of the meal she couldn't eat. We also had one guest show up who didn't RSVP, and they adapted so smoothly I didn't even know it happened. They pulled up an extra place setting to a table and discreetly asked her what she would like to eat and it was so seamless, I was extremely impressed. Allison was always super responsive to my emails and answered every question. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and we owe so much credit to the beautiful Manor House and their amazing staff.

Couldn't Have Been More Perfect
Absolutely fantastic. The Manor House was the perfect venue for our wedding. The people there were wonderful and so knowledgeable about the wedding planning process. We could not have asked for a better team to help us put together the most perfect day. Everything turned out better than we imagined on paper. The wedding coordinators (especially Allison) helped us create a fantastic plan and something our guests really were excited to attend. Our guests continuously raved about how wonderful the food, desert, and drinks were. They described it as "the best wedding food they've ever had". The decor was set up exactly how we imagined and everything was spotless. The day-of coordinators made sure the day before and day-of were seamless. We didn't have to worry about a single thing. Overall, if you're looking for a beautiful venue that exceeds your expectations, look no further.

The perfect experience!
We could not recommend the Manor House more! We had an Indian wedding at the Manor House in April 2022. The Manor House has hosted many Indian/South Asian weddings and know exactly what they entail. (They entail a lot!) Many venues do not allow outside catering, but the Manor House allowed us to cater from an outside Indian restaurant. We were even able to have the groom ride in on a horse outside the venue!
Our wedding coordinator Allison was the best! She was so kind and lovely to work with. She was extremely helpful every step of the way. She was very supportive during our stressful wedding planning journey. She is very knowledgeable about South Asian weddings and events. I do not live in Ohio. Allison worked closely with my mom in person and me virtually to ensure I would have the perfect day. On our wedding day, we did not have to worry about a thing. We just enjoyed our day and the Manor House executed everything perfectly! We will cherish our wedding day forever!

All inclusive wedding location!
Absolutely wonderful venue for any event you could possibly have! My wife and I got married here, in the Carriage House, and we loved every second of it. My wife had any help she could possibly need on the day of our wedding, we each had a room to get ready in, and we were able to have our ceremony and reception at the same location. The food here is absolutely top notch. We went with a buffet, and while many buffets have issues with food being too bland or dry, that wasn't the case here. The food was amazing, and many people commented on it in a positive manner. All in all the ambiance, service, and goods were amazing and we could not be more happy.

Absolutely Amazing!
When my now husband and I started looking for venues, the Manor House hadn't even crossed our mind. But after a few weeks of searching we came across this little gem. We toured the whole venue, and immediately fell in love with the Carriage House. To say it is stunning is an understatement. The staff at the Manor House is super accommodating and helpful. Shannon, who we worked with every step of the way, was the absolute best! Jacob helped with the ceremony and reception and everything went flawlessly (except for the HEAT). I had a detailed list, and being the planner that I am, was still fearful that things weren't going to be exactly the way I wanted... but I was so wrong. It was everything I could have ever dreamed of and more! Thank you Manor House for helping with my dream wedding!
