Best wedding day!!

We had the best experience using Stan Hywet for our wedding ceremony and reception on 5/25/24! They were very responsive, helpful and kind! Rebecca was our main coordinator and she was the best! All the day of coordinators were helpful and friendly though. I didn’t have to worry about anything day of thanks to them! They have so many ceremony spaces to choose from and a few reception spaces. This place is beautiful and we would highly recommend!

Fairytale Fall Wedding

The Stan Hywet was the fairytale fall venue of my dreams. The wedding coordinator, Sara, was responsive, flexible, and very nice! We had our ceremony on the West Terrace, and the trees were just gorgeous in the fall. And we had our reception in the carriage house. We got so many positive comments on the venue throughout the event. It was truly a fairytale!

A truly exceptional experience

I couldn't have imagined a more organized and helpful staff for our ceremony — they whisked us around the grounds and kept tabs on absolutely everything. There were so many little details and moving pieces, yet they remained cool under pressure, even managing to make us laugh and keep everything light. It wasn't easy work, but they pulled it off beautifully.

An amazing day!

Our daughter was recently married at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens and the day was even more amazing than we had hoped. We initially had booked the venue in July, 2019 and had to postpone due to COVID. Sara worked with us the entire time. When the actual day came, the weather cooperated and the day-of staff assisted with photos, appetizers for the bridal party and anything else that came up. The ceremony was in Birch Tree Allee with cocktails outside. Our guests are still telling us how much they loved the wedding and venue.

Beautiful and Unique Akron Venue!

We held our reception in the Stan Hywet Manor House Reception Hall in April 2021. All of the staff and volunteers at Stan Hywet were extremely helpful throughout the planning process and the actual event. We loved that our guests were able to tour the Manor House and grounds during our cocktail hour. The reception hall itself is somewhat of a blank slate, but Stan Hywet was very helpful in suggesting vendors to help us elevate the space with lighting and decor. If you're looking for a unique Akron venue with a gorgeous backdrop for photos, Stan Hywet is the place to go!

Best Day Ever

With everything going on this year safe to say the planning process had been bumpy, being this venue was our second plan it turned out to be the most magical day! We wouldn’t have wished for anything else! Sharon Hershey was amazing to work with, I would email her a million questions about all the adjusting Covid policies and she would email me back immediately. She truly went above and beyond to put my worried bride mind at ease. Both my husband and I couldn’t have been happier the day of, with wonderful weather and the perfect location this was a dream venue.

Sharon and her team made our day a dream come true. We wanted to get married at Stan Hywet every since we first visited the property and between their top notch service and the beautiful weather everything was better than we could have imagined. We appreciated the coordination that went into moving the bridal party around the property and how well they assisted our other wedding vendors (DJ, photographer, videographer, and officiant) to make the day run incredibly smoothly.

Words can't even express how wonderful my experience with Stan Hywet was! Everyone on staff was so friendly and accommodating, and they really make you feel like it's your special day. On the day of the wedding, there were a few things that didn't go the way we had planned, but the Stan Hywet team was on top of every issue before I could even ask for their help. The grounds are beautiful and provided the perfect scenery for my dream wedding, but it wouldn't have been made possible without the Stan Hywet Rentals team.

When planning our daughter's wedding, we worked with John Tedesco at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens.
He was the most committed, assuring, friendly, completely professional (even under stress),
man we have ever worked with. (this was our first wedding).
He answered all our questions, and concerns with the utmost care.
Our wedding was a fairytale come true for our daughter.
It will be a cherished memory forever.

We recently had our wedding ceremony on the West Terrace at Stan Hywet. It is an absolutely beautiful place to get married and the grounds are impeccably maintained. Most importantly, the staff there is incredible. We worked with one of the event coordinators, Sharon, and she was fantastic. She was very organized and worked so hard to make our day beautiful. On the day of the ceremony, it was raining up until 10 minutes before we wanted to start. Sharon and other staff did a great job of having a backup plan in place while still being patient and waiting to see what the weather would do. They were wiping down chairs only a few minutes before the guests were seated all to make our dream of having an outdoor ceremony a reality. We can't say enough about the location and the people who work there.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
