Mountainville Manor

Mountainville Manor helped us craft our dream wedding.. it was absolute perfection and beyond what I could've imagined. And I'm not known for exaggerating. Thinking about our wedding, I well up in gratitude for the most beautiful day that was put together to a tee.

There are moments that I believe most people can point to and say "I knew this was it". I felt it when my husband and I were getting to know each other, when I visited the home we now live in, when I tried on the dress that I said yes to, and I remember having distinctly felt it when I visited Mountainville Manor back in December 2020, and met Lauren for the first time. Michael and I took a tour, tasted the food, chatted about having a COVID wedding and what that would look like for us. Then on the drive back, I had said, "this is where we're getting married".

It takes a very special person to be able to instill trust - that you can hand over the many details of this day that you will remember for the rest of your life, and they've got you; they genuinely care, empathize, and will do everything in their power to help you. I encountered this in Lauren and thereby, in her team. Planning this wedding was a wonderful experience because Lauren listened to what we wanted and made suggestions as if she could read our minds. She made wedding planning easier and more enjoyable. A small example: I mentioned wanting honey favors with a "meant to bee" sign and Lauren helped procure adorable glass bear jars, found a local organic honey vendor, and presented the fee for taking care of it all. Simply amazing.

For folks like me out there who take the time to read all these reviews, know that this venue is more than just a business. These people love what they do and are extremely good at it. Chef Craig floored our guests with some of the best food they've ever had at not just any wedding, but in their entire lives. Sally made stunning mocktails for my husband and I who do not drink alcohol, and refreshments and actual cocktails that our guests raved about. James is the man who will fix everything and together with Lauren, they handled the finer points I wouldn't have even thought of. An example: they took care of the outdoor-nature-bug situation so our guests and our food remained safe and happy throughout the entire evening. Another example: they brought over the flower pot displays and cards box from the Ceremony area and guestbook station to our Sweetheart Table during the reception. What a nice touch!

Everything at this manor is just right. The size, the atmosphere, the location.. I loved our getting ready rooms, and having our first look photos taken under the shade of the rotund porch. We had a gorgeous outdoor Ceremony by the gazebo, Cocktail Hour with a display station and passed hors d'oeuvres, and Tented Reception with a five course plated dinner. Our color theme was white and blush with a splash of coral. We were beyond pleased with the table settings, linens, sweetheart table arrangement, and more. My goodness, the cake was delicious - for those who share my flavor palate, I recommend vanilla cake with lemon curd filling, elderflower syrup, and buttercream frosting. You will not regret it.

I cannot thank these kind, thoughtful, and talented people enough. They are truly wonderful. I'm so glad our paths crossed and am so proud of the Wedding we put together. Hopefully, I'll be able to visit soon for another special occasion.

Words cannot express what a fantastic job the management of Mountainville Manor did. If we even paused to think, there was staff ready to help. The food was AMAZING!! The service was even better!
I heard so many positive comments from our guests! Their recommended florist and DJ were incredible! We had such a great time! If you are looking for a venue you won’t be disappointed!!
Lauren and James were on top of every detail… they really cared that everything went as planned!!
What a beautiful and well maintained venue!

Mountainville Manor exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. The property is beautiful. The staff wonderful. Lauren and James are fantastic. They really love what they do. So responsive and helpful! Our day was simply perfect and they made sure everything was taken care of!

The food is incredible! Everything is locally sourced and their chef does magic in the kitchen! We couldn’t have hoped for a better meal

If you want a simply beautiful wedding in the gorgeous mountains, this is the place!! I cannot say enough good thing about this venue!

From the moment we got out of our car on our first tour of Mountainville Manor, we knew this was the place for us. Lauren and James run the most beautiful venue, and their support is endless. They answered all of our questions, greatly supported us during every single moment of the planning and execution of our perfect day. Their chef is an outstanding award winning chef who walked us through the menu and aided in our food selection choices. As a vegetarian, I didn't have to worry about any of the selections and my (now) husband was able to enjoy wonderful dishes with meat as well. All of our guests raved about the food and the beauty of the property. Everything was so unbelievably gorgeous at Mountainville Manor, and our families loved not just the property, but also the attention to detail, and limitless support. The staff was so fantastic all around and kept us well fed and supplied with drinks all evening - after hearing from other married couples how quick the day goes and how hard it is to prioritize yourself while greeting guests this truly meant the world.

Our son’s wedding ceremony and reception a few weeks ago at Mountainville Manor was outstanding, and the most fun day of my life since my own wedding 35 years ago. When our son and his fiancé started considering wedding venues, I wanted them to look at Mountainville Manor because it is just five minutes from our house and I knew it would be exclusively theirs for the day. When we joined the couple and the mother of the bride for the first meeting and food tasting, I was so impressed with the quality of the food and with the owner Lauren and other staff we met. After considering other venues in New York as well as Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I was thrilled our kids selected our local option. While I wasn’t directly involved in the planning, I know my son and daughter-in-law as well as her mother were very happy with the service and support they were given throughout the planning process and they found Lauren to be very flexible and open to ideas. On the beautiful summer day of the wedding, everything was so lovely and ran flawlessly, from the ceremony outside by the gazebo to the cocktail hour that flowed seamlessly from outside in front of the manor, to the porch, to the two rooms inside, and later to the beautiful reception hall. We were particularly pleased that the chef was willing to accommodate a custom display station during the cocktail hour that served dishes from my husband’s country which many guests was so excited about. For any couple who wants a private, elegant venue for their wedding and the reduced stress by having everything well-coordinated by experienced staff, Mountainville Manor is an excellent choice.

Mountainville Manor was everything we could have wanted in a wedding venue and more! Lauren was our main contact from our first tasting, and she made everything so easy for us. We had a micro wedding (

It would be impossible for me to overstate the many outstanding qualities of Mountainville Manor. Lauren, James, and their entire staff are beyond compare. They are professional, caring, fun, thoughtful, on top of every single thing and to top it all off, the food was so incredible, no one can stop talking about it.

Not only is this venue stunning with beautiful gardens and "farmhouse chic" charm. Not only does it come with some of the best food and service I've ever seen. Not only was it the perfect place to host the best party of my life. It was budget friendly and all inclusive. While some places try to lure you in with low per-person costs, they are full of hidden fees and expenses that only come out as you dive further into the wedding planning process. Mountainville Manor appears higher in price at first glance, but is so upfront about all of the costs that once you start comparing, it becomes clear that in terms of value, there isn't a competition.

Lauren and James were circulating during the reception to ensure the best guest experience and their staff solved problems before they even arose. They were friendly, wonderful communicators, and incredibly professional. I highly reccommend them and this beautiful venue for any special event you may be considering.

My husband and I are beyond thrilled with our experience at Mountainville Manor! In addition to the absolutely stunning grounds and manor, Lauren and James were so, so, SO wonderful to work with. From customizing our wedding package to providing numerous decorations to ensuring our big day ran flawlessly, they truly went above and beyond for us every step of the way. Lauren was incredibly helpful every time I emailed her with yet another question, and she really helped take the stress out of the planning process; at the risk of sounding phony, I actually really loved planning our wedding because Lauren made it so easy! Most importantly, however, she and James were constantly in motion on our wedding day, making sure everything went smoothly. I don’t think I could even begin to count the number of things they took care of in the background that my husband and I hadn’t even thought of leading up to the wedding. We’re grateful for the hard work each and every one of our vendors put into our special day, but we owe Lauren, James, and all the Mountainville Manor staff an extra-special “thank you” for making the day truly magical 😊

Awesome job by the staff. Loved the food. The venue is beautiful inside and outside.

We are so glad we had our wedding at Mountainville Manor!

As soon as we visited, we knew that Mountainville was where we wanted to have our wedding. Lauren and James are so warm and professional, and they made us feel like we were special and that our day was a priority for them from the very beginning.

Throughout the planning process, Lauren and James were extremely helpful and responsive. We didn't have a planner, and we really didn't need one with all of Lauren's great guidance. Almost all of the vendors we used were from Mountainville's list of recommended vendors, and they were all outstanding. When we weren't sure about a detail - whether that be timing, or the color of a napkin - Lauren guided us with her incredible talent and eye for design.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. The manor looked beautiful, and we could really enjoy our day as Lauren and James took care of all the details. We're still hearing from our guests about how great the food was.

We would highly recommend Mountainville Manor for anyone!
