The perfect venue for our big day!

We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at the Parlour! We live nearby and often bike by the venue, so we had been admiring it for years, and I had often dreamed of getting married there. Our wedding day not only lived up to but exceeded our expectations! We love so many elements of the property, from the colorful butterfly gardens to the original building elements that give it a perfect rustic feel (including the farmhouse tables to the gorgeous stained glass). All of the market lights make the grounds look so magical at night as well! The real beauty of the Parlour, though, is the personalized attention provided by the venue hosts. Kristen promptly responded to all of our questions and offered clever solutions to any issues that came up during the planning process, and Kit met us at the venue a few days before our big day, even helping us to unload our car. We recommend that couples read the Parlour's policies from the beginning, to plan for important steps like getting event insurance and working with certain vendors. We had a fantastic experience working with all the vendors we chose from the Parlour's Handpicked Experts list! Our big day could not have been any more perfect, and we are so grateful to the entire Parlour team. We give them our highest recommendation!

Intimate Setting for Small Wedding

Perfect venue for a small wedding! We LOVED the intimate setting and even though it rained, having dinner inside the chapel was beautiful. The team is so responsive, detail-oriented and organized, with thoughtfulness toward personal touches. Don't hesitate to book with them!

The perfect day

We stumbled onto The Parlour at Manns Chapel with a Google search while dreaming about our wedding shortly after our engagement. On a whim we saw they had availability for a tour a few days later so we thought "why not?" Whether it was fate or serendipity we immediately knew The Parlour at Manns Chapel was where we were going to be married. Pulling onto the property, then gushing as we entered the chapel, and finally awing as we walked around the grounds -- it was PERFECT. Add in the best, hardest working team and cultivation of experienced vendors and partners, we knew our dreams could come true. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day for our wedding and we truly credit the team with The Parlour and the Gathering Co. for helping us see our vision through. They think of every detail busy couples could easily miss or be overwhelmed by throughout the planning process and flawlessly carry out those details. We knew our wedding day would be memorable and special in its own right, but choosing The Parlour absolutely cemented that. Thank you so much for the BEST day ever!

Highly Unique, Intentional and Intimate Wedding Experience

From start to finish our experience with the Parlour staff was exceptional. We were won over immediately with the unique grounds that really fit us as a couple- with it's rustic and vintage details and intimate draw. The Parlour's amazing service and staff were just the cherry on top to our entire experience. Kristen and Kit were so amazing when it came to walk throughs and planning of the space for our big day, and were always SO thorough in their communication with us every step of the way from bridal portrait booking, rehearsal night booking and the big day. They even have a stock of rental pieces for use that really elevated our aesthetic for our whole day and allowed us some extra fun features that we otherwise would not have had access to. The easiest part of our wedding planning was working with this amazing group of women, and we honestly could not have pictured our wedding being held in any other space because every inch from the flooring to the lighting to the furniture to the landscaping is absolutely gorgeous. It will forever be so sacred and precious to us, and we will cherish looking back at all of our beautiful photos from the day for years to come. We are so so happy with our decision to book the Parlour and HIGHLY recommend it for any other couples who are wanting to have an intimate and intentional celebration with their loved ones. Oh- and our guests raved about it as well! We know we will be talking about this for years to come and are so grateful for our experience from start to finish!

What a magical moment!

The Parlour at Mann's Chapel is the venue that couples dream about. Every detail of the stained glass windows to the perfectly landscaped garden is breathtaking. Beyond aesthetics, the Parlour family made me feel at ease throughout the planning process but particularly the day of. We chose many of our vendors from the venue's list of professionals and have nothing but wonderful things to say about the collaboration and communication between them all. Our guests traveled from all over the country to join us in sharing our vows and were immensely impressed with the entire experience that the staff at Mann's chapel orchestrated on our behalf.

Gorgeous venue, attention to detail, and professional service

We absolutely loved the Parlour as our wedding venue! We had our ceremony in the chapel, which created a beautiful and intimate atmosphere that felt both fresh and traditional. Our cocktail hour was hosted in the garden area and our reception was outdoors on patio underneath a rented tent. Each of the different spaces were beautiful and the facilities were all clean and tastefully styled. It is very visible that the Parlour team pays attention to all of the small details throughout the venue spaces and the team was very responsive and communicative throughout the planning process. The Parlour was a massive part of what made our wedding day so wonderful! It brought together all of our other vendors together into the perfect wedding day, and many of our guests commented to us how much they loved the venue. We were very happy with our experience with the Parlour and would recommend the venue very highly!

Such a special space for our wedding

We knew The Parlour was our venue almost immediately! We wanted a venue with personality, one that would accommodate a smaller guest list of 70-80, and had multiple on-site locations. The chapel is STUNNING, the courtyard is so versatile, and the airstream is just really cool. We had multiple floor plan ideas to utilize a variety of the spaces and Kristen (the venue coordinator) was so helpful. She went above and beyond sending photos/videos and mocking out layouts to help with planning!

We used the chapel for our ceremony, moved into the courtyard for our cocktail hour and dinner portion then back inside for dancing/desserts. It kept the evening flowing and we loved using all the different spaces. We took their advice and reserved a tent as a rain plan. We did use the tent in the courtyard with market lights strung underneath and the farm tables you get to use from The Parlour. It was incredibly cozy and looked so beautiful. (I’m a converted tent skeptic!) Every location at the venue was gorgeous, the farm tables/chairs they provided perfectly complemented the aesthetic, and the team was so great to work with, especially Kristen! It was an incredible special experience at such an incredibly special place.

Stunning and unique- the perfect venue!

We are so grateful that we were able to have our wedding at the Parlour! It is a beautiful and unique location which made it the perfect spot for our September wedding. We used the entire space with a ceremony inside, cocktail hour and games on the lawn and the dinner reception in the courtyard. Everyone at the Parlour was amazing to work with. There was significant rain during our set up and I barely knew about it and we were able to have our reception outside as planned. They all went above and beyond to create the best wedding for us.

Gorgeous classic venue!

As soon as we toured The Parlour at Manns Chapel, I knew that's where we would have our wedding. We fell in love with the story of how the historic venue was restored, the gorgeous chapel with original details, beautiful garden, and charming courtyard. We ended up using each of these spaces for our 70-person wedding: Our ceremony was inside, cocktail hour was in the garden, and then dinner and dancing was under the sparkling lights in the courtyard. We loved the flexibility of the space, and it was the perfect amount of room for our intimate vibe. We heard from so many of our guests that it was the most beautiful, romantic wedding that they've seen!

Furthermore, we had to reschedule our wedding multiple times due to the pandemic. We appreciated The Parlour's flexibility throughout the process. On the day-of, Kristen and her team helped us execute our vision seamlessly. Highly recommend!
