The Christian Royer House

Jerry and Michelle were extremely accommodating and helped us every step of the way. They communicated with us throughout the year of planning, so nothing fell through or was missed. They helped us with all the setting up for the ceremony site and the reception. They were even willing to move everything once the weather improved, but I decided to leave everything as it was. My guests were in awe at how beautiful the property is, and they had the best time at our wedding. I highly recommend The Chrisitan Royer House for all weddings and other special occasions!

The Perfect Venue!

Michelle and Jerry were absolutely amazing to work with! They helped us with every step of our wedding planning. On the day of it ended up raining for about 20 minutes right before our ceremony. Their staff brought in all of the things we didn't want to get wet. After the rain, they dried and cleaned every chair, set up our last minute decor, and looked over every detail one more time! This is just a small look into their dedication and hard work to make our day the best it could be! Highly recommend booking your wedding at the Christian Royer House!!

Best Investment for our Wedding

The Christian Royer House was the best venue for my wedding! What Michelle & Jerry offer for their couples goes above and beyond anything else I've seen offered from other wedding venues & owners. They provide decorations, ceremony centerpieces, good lighting for getting ready, and a detailed planner with tips and tricks to help you plan a wedding according to their venue. Not only is this venue beautiful, spacious, and historic, but every room (and tent) has been setup to make life easier for the wedding party on the wedding day. We absolutely loved how our wedding turned out and the support Michelle & Jerry gave us was so helpful! Booking them was the best decision we made during the wedding process and highly recommend 100%!

Very great people. Awesome venue. Highly recommend.

Awesome. Simply awesome. Highly recommend this venue to anyone. For one, the venue is beautiful and has many options for where you could get married on the property. It's primarily an outdoor venue, but it rained for part of our ceremony and it worked out just fine. However, the highlight of the experience was Jerry and Michelle themselves. They were an absolute delight to work with. They went above and beyond what you'd expect from a venue owner, and we couldn't be more grateful that we had the opportunity to work with them and have them on our team the day of our wedding and the days leading up. I have only good things to say about them and this venue... and the reality is, if for some reason you had a qualm or an issue with something, they would work with you to find a solution! Very great people. Awesome venue. Highly recommend.

Book Launch Celebration

Michelle and Jerry- the 5/5/24 book launch of Adoption Songs was a success! I cannot tell you the number of messages I received today about how beautiful your venue is and how lovely of people you are. How kind, welcoming, accommodating. Your hospitality, creativity, attention to every detail, guidance on what could work and the ambiance of the incredible Christian Royer House! Just wow. It was a dream come true. The upstairs bridal dressing area was a perfect staging area for my team to get ready after set up. And our guest enjoyed to downstairs game room and main level living area for relaxing. The kitchen was ideal for getting our spread prepared. The venue space was spacious, yet intimate with the heaters on a chilly day. You launched us well! May God continue your bless you as you unselfishly bless others.

Perfect day

A Joy and Pleasure to have Ashley and her team host my daughter’s Wedding Ceremony and Reception!



I believe Ashley is the finest event coordinator and host I have ever encountered and have had the pleasure of working with, for many reasons. She and her team were highly professional, responsive, accommodating, gracious, warm, and friendly throughout the whole process, and particularly the day of the wedding and reception. All phases of working with her, and particularly the day and evening of the wedding and reception, were smooth and stress – free. The entire venue is gorgeous, the guests had a wonderful time, and my daughter and new couple loved everything. An actual, real blessing, I could not have been more pleased, and I hope she and her family and the Christian Royer House continue to prosper.

A Hidden Gem in Carroll County

The Christian Royer House was the PERFECT venue choice for our reception! My husband and I are Catholic, so our ceremony took place at our home parish, but we love the outdoors and wanted an outdoor reception without the worry and stress of potential poor weather. The minute we drove down the beautiful driveway outlined by trees to the Christian Royer House, I was already halfway convinced. One look at the property, a walk through the house and reception tent, I was sold. The property was gorgeous and included several areas for photo ops in and around the grounds (bridges, fountains, pond, etc). The house had a rustic, country, at-home feel to it with rooms for the bridal party to get ready upstairs and a game room downstairs for the gents to get ready, again wtih plenty of photo ops. The tent floor had decking so no worry about guests' heels sinking in wet grass, in the event of rain. Shortly after we hired the Christian Royer House, there was a change in management. Both previous and new owners practiced the utmost transparency with us and created a seamless transition which kept this bride from stressing out for real! I am forever thankful to all of those who took part in helping make our reception perfect. I HIGHLY recommend this venue for any bride & groom looking for a touch of outdoors on their special day! Thank you to The Snyders and Ashley S., for coordinating one of the best days of our lives. Your excellent customer service and reliability will not be forgotten.

My wedding was Prefect!

My wedding was as close to Prefect as you can possibly get! The venue is gorgeous, the staff are awesome, and you can't beat the price for the size of the venue. We just got out photos back and the venue made for the perfect backdrop. Everything went beautifully and I cannot thank them enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
