We just got married at The Highland Manor on Wednesday. Nothing but the best compliments. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. Captures that feel of being back in time with wood finishes but also of being at home. From the day of the rehearsal to throughout our wedding everyone was telling us how beautiful everything was and we made a great choice in venue. The Highland Manor team were the sweetest group of people. Not only answering questions but making sure we were all taken care of. They never missed a beat. The biggest thanks to Shanna our coordinator for seeing the vision & executing it to perfect. Thank you Juan for taking care of us and kept refilling my husband on sweet tea. Thank you to the Chefs that made our dinner. It was soo delicious and all of our guest raved about it all night. We are still talking about the food and wishing we had more. Love love love The Highland Manor. -

WOW! Out of all the venues we looked at - this one value wise is simply the best. From our first visit to our wedding day, I always felt special and taken care of. It's stunning both inside and outside and the staff is simply incredible. Michelle, our coordinator, was there from start to finish. She was so kind, thoughtful, professional and organized. Everything flowed so smoothly! Highly recommend! -

My son and his wife did their wedding at Highland Manor last month. It was amazing. Kristen was our wedding coordinator. She is a great person to work with. She always goes above and beyond to help and make us happy.
Thank you Highland Manor for being part of our great experience and my son and his wife celebrating. -

Michelle is a rockstar!!
We are so grateful for Michelle and her banquet staff who made our dream wedding come true and ensured that everything ran smoothly the day of! From all of our planning meetings to dropping off the decorations to a failed wedding cake, Michelle handled every single second with the upmost professionalism. No complaints from us about anything, food was great, the decorations were set up perfectly, and the reception came together impeccably! -

Shannon Sent on 01/21/2023Amazing Venue and Staff!
Highland Manor on and leading up to our wedding day was extremely professional, over the top, friendly and accommodating.We had around 120 people attend our wedding. From the day we first toured this venue to the day of our wedding everything we hoped for was executed in a way that shows the level of talent and experience that Bonny and Juan have. Bonny made it her mission to give us a wedding we would never forgot. The attention to detail and her overall leadership made us know we were in great hands. Juan was there for us every step of the way and we can't thank him enough for making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day/night. They are truly an incredible crew. Of course we can't forget to mention the culinary team! They knocked it out of the park with the food cooked that night. Our friends still talk about how great their meal was and how it was "the best steak dinner they have ever experienced." The venue was stunning. The staff was family for the night. We couldn't have asked for anything more. -

AMAZING highly recommend
I highly recommend this venue! We got married in November and had the greatest experience with the venue and coordinator, Michelle. The venue has really great and affordable packages for food and alcohol and the food was AMAZING! From start to finish our coordinator was helpful, responsive and constantly provided support for any questions or concerns I had. The day of the wedding everything was so well organized. The venue provides you with a butler, ours was Juan, and he was the most attentive, kind and helpful person. He made sure the whole wedding party was always taken care of and I have to say their attention to detail and support was beyond impressive. If I could do it all over again I would book this venue/Dubsdread every time. They made every part of the process easy and we had an amazing time because of their staff. -

Amazing venue, staff, people, experience
Words cannot describe how amazing our wedding was. The venue, the food, the staff... everything was immaculate! The venue is amazing and gorgeous, you barely need to do any extra decorations because it has so much character! The staff were also so amazing and so kind! Our coordinator Bonny was amazing and helped every step of the way! Our personal butler for the day was Juan, and he KILLED it! We loved everything about our experience! -

I cannot recommend using one of their facilities enough. We used the Highland Manor location and had Bonnie as our coordinator and she can walk the walk and talk the talk. She helped make sure my celiac issue was a priority along with the other diet restrictions we had. It was such a smooth process picking them. They are the caterers as well as the facility so everything including alcohol and drinks is in your package. No searching and taste testing a dozen different food vendors! Also, the facility was A+++ beautiful. -

What an unbelievably stunning venue for a wedding. The Manor was everything we dreamed of and more. From getting ready and spending time in the bridal suite (also a super fun groom’s room for the guys), to saying vows under the oak, to dancing the night away in the ballroom, complete with breathtaking crystal chandeliers…it was just a dream come true. The catering team did a wonderful job with our food. Minor hiccups were handled promptly and overall our day was just perfect. Thanks to Michelle, Juan and the entire team. -

Angela Sent on 11/19/2021Highland Manor is wonderful
Highland Manor was the perfect wedding location. Bonny and the Highland Manor team gave us our dream wedding. The location was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the staff was amazing. The only thing I would suggest is more "crowd control". When we did our first look guests were wondering around the house and instead of it being a private moment we had an audience. Other than that things were perfect. We would recommend Highland Manor without doubt. -

Bonny was such an amazing coordinator! My now
wife and I had the pleasure of working with her for
our wedding at Dubsdread Catering at the
Highland Manor in Apopka, FL. Bonny was very attentive, had everything we needed, Bobby pins for fall outs, bandaids, anything that you could
think of! Bonny helped our wedding day go
completely flawless. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator than Bonny. Thank you so so so so much, Bonny you are and were more than
appreciated and we cannot wait to share our
wedding day photos with you!
Thank you again!

Our experience with Highland Manor and Dubsdread Catering was outstanding! I cannot rave enough about every single person we interacted with. From the waiting staff, to our butler Jose, to our wonderful coordinator Michelle. This staff knows what they are doing and make you feel so taken care of without any hint of worry. The food was also just as amazing, we did a buffet style and even our guests came up to us to rave about it as well. That always makes you feel good. The grounds of the manor are so well kept and beautiful with the amounts of fauna. The fact that there is a hotel, literally within steps of the venue/ceremony site, is next level. Our guests could stay there for a reasonable price and not have to worry about transporting to a far away hotel. Overall, I would recommend this site and company to anyone who wants that seamless romantic wedding of their dreams. -

Our wedding was amazing. The place was beautiful and Michelle and her staff did an amazing job. Our food was phenomenal, all completely homemade. And our chef was kind enough to customize our menu for us. We loved our butler Raphael who made sure we were all set all night. I can’t be more thankful to the Manor for their thoughtfulness. We are so happy to able to eat during pictures. The manor also made sure all our guest were comfortable and our decorations were perfect. They also provided us with a Togo bag so we could even try some other slices of our cake. It was amazing. So happy with you everything. -

Gina Sent on 05/25/2021Best Venue, Staff and catering all under one roof!
Don't look any further, this is the venue for you! We reviewed many other venues before choosing The Highland Manor. I loved the house, the wooden stairs, old school home feel and its beautiful bar structure. The story behind the house was very interesting being it was so old . The history was all there and we loved it all! The Oak Tree outside took our breath away. I knew we had to get married here! Michelle was so kind in allowing us to visit several times to show it off to our wedding party. We loved the building, location and the hotel next door made it a plus! Simply beautiful dream wedding we had! We are in love with our wedding day, and lets talk about the food. My wedding was a hit with the food. There caterer was amazing. They catered to us and our spanish style needs. There food was delicious and our guest still talk about it!
Bonny was simply an amazing person to have as a coordinator, she really knows her stuff! Having our wedding postponed due to Covid-19, she didn't make us feel bad but rather understood and had us rebook our wedding with no issues. We have been working with her for 3 years, if you count how long we been planning this wedding. Bonny is very personable , caring and patient. She responses fairly quickly and is very reasonable. She was amazing with our large wedding party, getting everyone where they needed to be on time. She had things lined out , prepared and held us accountable for items that I wanted displayed. She was a blessing to have as a coordinator! If your looking for skilled and patient, don't look any further. I highly recommend Highland Manor and its entire staff for your future dream wedding. -

Sydney Sent on 05/18/2021Beautiful Venue, Great Food, & Even Better Staff!!!
My husband and I fell in love with Highland Manor. We had our ceremony under the beautiful Oak Tree and our reception inside of the Manor. The best thing about the venue, however, was the staff! When we booked our Big Day with Highland Manor we booked with their amazing catering staff (Dubsdread Catering), were assigned a wedding day coordinator (Bonny is the BEST!) and had a "butler" (José was the MVP!) who attended to me and my husband the entire time! Bonny (our venue coordinator) worked with our vendors to ensure proper arrival time, schedules, and more. Highland Manor staff also is in charge of setting up and taking down all wedding decorations that you bring. They work like clockwork to ensure that my husband and I had nothing to worry about on our Big Day! Thank you for making us feel so special!!! -

Renee Sent on 03/24/2021Venue with a family feel and incredible staff!
We are one-hundred percent satisfied with the value, staff, food, and organization of the Highland Manor! From our first tour, throughout difficult postponement decisions, to our big day, the Highland Manor staff was compassionate, professional, and so easy to work with. They respond to emails incredibly quickly and have a knack for making couples feel at ease. Our wedding day was so fluid and smooth. Their years of experience in events and weddings was absolutely evident.
With Dubsdread Catering being part of the same company, it not only made planning so easy, but we were thrilled at the number of dinner and bar options. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their food, and because Highland Manor thinks of every little detail, including boxing up a meal for the bride and groom, we got to enjoy our wedding dinner two nights in a row! The property itself is gorgeous, and the layout of the ceremony space, cocktail hour, and reception room adds a family feel to the whole day.
Our day of coordinator, Bonny, made all of our wedding visions come to life. Our butler Gion worked so hard for us the night of-keeping me calm as we chatted minutes before my walk down the aisle, fixing a wardrobe malfunction, and keeping us fed and hydrated! Another highlight was the “room reveal”-getting to see our reception space before any of the guests, and having a moment to ourselves before the party. All of the team members who handled our contract and payments leading up to our day were also incredibly compassionate and helpful. We appreciate everyone on the Highland Manor team so much!
From the day we signed our contract, we knew our central Florida wedding was in the best hands possible and we highly recommend Highland Manor as a wedding venue! Thank you from Corey and Renee W. and their families!

Beautiful venue!!
We LOVED Highland Manor from the first moment we toured. David was a huge help with everything and we found that the staff worked quickly and efficiently to help us with whatever was needed. Even though it rained on the day of our wedding and our outdoor ceremony was forced to move inside, the staff made sure everything ran smoothly. The butler they provide you on the day of was also so helpful and amazing. When you add this gorgeous house, what's not to love? We highly recommend Highland Manor! -

Where to begin? This manor built in 1904 was amazing and the staff just as flawless. The selling point for me was the huge Oak tree in the back! You get SO much for your cost. The entire manor, the ceremony set up and tear down, cake cutting, etc.
Everyone was phenomenal and the pictures came out PERFECT.
If you want a Disney adjacent location, with an on site hotel, amazing staff and day of coordinator and butler, this is where you want to look. OH and the brunch food was to die for! who would've thought brunch food could be talked about for days after? I can't say enough nice things about this location and staff. -

Delia Sent on 01/28/2021Perfect venue!
The Highland Manor was absolutely perfect for our wedding especially in the midst of a global pandemic. Bonny and the rest of the staff were amazing and worked with us to meet all of our requests and were available constantly to talk through any concerns that came up and were quickly addressed. Having the new Hilton next door was great for all of our out of town guests and ensured all of those who needed a room from the festivities also had one. It also saved a lot of time day of with getting ready at the hotel and walking right over to the venue when it was time. The Highland manor is a gorgeous venue that would be an ideal choice for anyone looking to get married in central Florida with a Victorian home vibe and the staff is a delight to work with as well. -

Melissa Sent on 12/01/2020Spectacular
The Highland Manor was the perfect location for our micro-ceremony and will be for our postponed wedding reception next year as well. Bonny and the Dubsdread team were truly amazing and provided us with delicious food! Our wedding ceremony guest-list went from 120 to 8 guests but Bonny and her team made sure that the day still felt special and important. Every detail for the ceremony that we discussed, Bonny enhanced in execution on the day of the wedding. Anything and everything that I needed and/or forgot I needed, she was there to take care of and had already planned for. Bonny and her team truly know how to make a bride stress free on her wedding day and I can’t wait to work with her again for the rescheduled bigger wedding in 2021! -

Amazing venue, perfect customer service!
I fell in love with this venue, and the gorgeous oak tree, even though it was pouring while we toured the property. A year later, I am so happy to have gotten married at this gorgeous place! The outdoor ceremony was everything I dreamed, and the indoor reception is perfect for Florida and it’s finicky weather. There was not a single thing day of that we had to stress over because Michelle, our day of coordinator and point of contact prior to our wedding, exceeded every expectation. If the rest of the staff with Dubsdread and Highland Manor are anything like her it makes perfect sense as to why they are so successful! They were conscientious of all things COVID and helped us maintain social distancing between tables and during the buffet, all staff wore masks the entirety of the event, and family and friends all felt comfortable despite having earlier concerns. If I could get married all over again, I’d do it at Highland Manor in a heartbeat. You will never regret it! -

Michelle from the Highland Manor was a gem to work with; she took the edge off wedding planning and was flexible given we signed our contract in 2019, for our wedding in 2020 not knowing Covid would be a thing (We planned our wedding from afar - Chicago)! We shifted our wedding to be outdoor to accommodate guests level of comfort. For our open bar - we could request special alcohol for our guests & the venue accommodate specific food request - both dietary & cultural. -

Makenna Sent on 06/16/2020The absolute PERFECT venue!
I can not write enough amazing things about Highland Manor and their team. First off, the venue itself is gorgeous -- the house, the tree-lined driveway, the beautiful oak tree... it's absolute perfection. The thing that makes it even better is the AMAZING team that is working behind the scenes. From our first tour with Michelle, we knew that this was our venue. The bridal suite upstairs is so beautiful -- from the day I saw it, I could see my wedding dress hanging from the beams. When we were assigned out coordinator, Bonny, it was a PERFECT match. She was always quick to respond, answering any questions we had and walking us though each and every step with absolute professionalism. Our wedding day went flawlessly. Bonny made sure that everything was set up exactly how we wanted -- she even fixed my bustle after someone stepped on it on the dance floor! She is AMAZING! You also have a butler who is constantly bringing you anything you may need -- he literally was by our side with food and drinks the ENTIRE day. Speaking of the food -- three months later, and I still have guests talking about how incredible the food was. I truly don't have a single negative thing to say about Highland Manor and the Dubsdread team -- if you're thinking about booking here, DO IT! You will not regret it. -

This venue is absolutely gorgeous. I fell in love with it the minute we stepped inside. Michelle was super informative and helpful and able to answer all of my questions. I am excited to be working with them for my wedding and cannot wait for the big day!
Editing after my wedding. Everything went off without a hitch. If anything went wrong I didn’t know about it. David was great throughout the whole process. The whole staff day of was nothing but exceptional. My husband and I never had to ask for anything. Anytime we wanted food or a drink, it was already right there for us. Even when we went out for photos after the ceremony they followed us out with hors d’oeuvres and drinks. All in all will definitely recommend to anyone. -

Highland Manor is not only gorgeous, but the staff are wonderful! I chose Highland Manor for its beautiful look and I got a wonderful experience as well. From the moment I first contacted the Manor I was put in contact with Michelle, who became my event coordinator for my wedding. Michelle made our every dream come true! The price for renting the venue and the catering provided in house is absolutely worth it! We received a complimentary tasting, multiple planning sessions, and even a butler to assist the day of the wedding. I highly recommend Highland Manor for your ceremony and reception and I cannot say enough good things about Michelle! -

Rach Sent on 02/20/2020Amazing Experience!!
I was blown away with how wonderful this experience was. I knew the Dubsdread event staff was top notch (with friends having used them for their weddings), but wow! From the beginning, one of our reasons for choosing this venue was obviously how beautiful the property is, but also how much is included. I felt like it took SO much of the extra planning I would have had to do otherwise out of the process. It helped to streamline so much, however, I still felt like I was able to choose from so many options of menu, linens, etc. Every time I emailed with a question, someone answered me promptly and efficiently. They also had ideas that I would not have even thought of. The day of the wedding, the entire staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. The butler and our coordinator treated us like old friends and on such an important day filled with nerves, this was so appreciated. The setup was beyond my expectations, and the cleanup was fantastic and organized. Thank you, thank you, thank you to this team! Highly recommend!! -

The Perfect Day
From the moment we arrived at Highland Manor, the staff was welcoming and ready to assist us in any way we needed. We met with Michelle in May of 2019 and was given a tour of the estate. She greeted us with a big smile and a hug and we were on our way. Michelle was ready to answer all of our questions without hesitation and we could tell that Highland Manor was going to be the right venue for our wedding. After locking in the date, we later received our email invitation to the food tasting night. While dining, Bonny, one of the coordinators with Highland Manor and Dubsdread, who owns her own company, P.S. I Love You Productions, came up to our table and greeted us. She informed us that she will be our wedding coordinator, which is part of the package with Highland Manor. No matter the time of day, Bonny was quick to respond. One of the great things about Highland Manor and the wedding coordinator, is that once you have found all of your vendors and hired them for the day of, the coordinator will take over from there to coordinate their arrivals and set up times. Bonny was amazing to work with through the entire process. She would check up on us to see if we had any questions or any new information. By the day of the wedding, Bonny was like family to us and wanted our day to be perfect. While we kept the decor for the ceremony simple, the reception had many detailed pieces. During the ceremony, Bonny was at work inside the reception area setting the tables. When we walked into the reception area to see what she had done, our breath was taken away. She captured our vision perfectly and it was everything we ever wanted. The food was immaculate and we could eat the food everyday. Dubsdread Catering was able to cater to the special requests we had for gluten intolerant guests and any other special needs we had. The entire day was truly perfect and we are forever grateful for Bonny, Michelle and the rest of the Highland Manor/Dubsdread Catering team. -

Highland Manor is a great place to get married. The staff knows their stuff and will take care of every detail. The grounds and amenities are amazing, especially the big, old Oak Tree and the old plantation mansion. This venue hosts a lot of weddings and events, and for that reason they have perfected the planning process. If you choose Highland Manor, you will not have anything to worry about when it comes to your wedding or event. -

Five out of five. Can’t give enough high praise to Highland Manor and the Dubsdread Catering team. My wife and I have worked with Highland Manor for almost a year and half in preparation for our wedding. The process leading up to the wedding and the actual wedding day itself was more than we could have ever hoped for.
During the initial steps of the planning process, we got to see many beautiful venues. What separated Highland Manor from the rest, in addition to the gorgeous property, was the Dubsdread Catering team. We got the opportunity to observe the team in action at another venue early in the planning process. Their professionalism, work ethic and attention to detail confirmed that we had made the right choice. Michelle Edmiston, who became our day-of-coordinator, was friendly and professional from the start. Right away her experience and competence was apparent. Throughout the months leading up to our wedding, Michelle was there to assist in any way possible. The stress in planning a wedding was alleviated on more than one occasion with Michelle’s guidance and advice in tackling issues that arose. We didn’t even require a wedding planner with the services and assistance provided us by Michelle and Dubsdread.
One of the other perks of Highland Manor was the pricing. Pricing is very flexible. Dubsdread gives you many options that can cater to a variety of budgets. Certain times of day/week/year for the event and both food and drink options can be adjusted to fit any budget. My wife and I were very pleased with Dubsdread’s flexibility which allowed us to have the wedding we wanted with a budget that we had allotted.
The wedding day was spectacular. Planning can be strenuous and last a long time, but it was all worth it for the result. Michelle and the Dubsdread team did a phenomenal job and we’ll remember our special day at Highland Manor for the rest of our lives!

Absolutely amazing place to get married!
My husband and I got married at Highland Manor about one month ago and it was honestly the happiest, most perfect day of our lives! The professionalism and care the entire team shows for their clients is absolutely incredible. We worked with Michelle who was friendly, helpful, and professional, to tour the venue and learn about pricing and booking details a year before our date. Once we booked the date we had a TON of questions! Any time I had a question I called their direct line and was able to speak with a helpful associate who was very helpful. About two months before our wedding our coordinator Bonny stepped in and began helping us plan for the big day. Let me tell you I asked this girl a LOT of questions in the weeks leading up to our meeting, and she was always responsive and helpful! She answered all of my questions and provided advice when I was unsure of anything. I thought I was detail-oriented but Bonny thought of literally everything and made sure my husband and I did not have to worry about the small details. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect from the moment we arrived to the moment we left for our honeymoon! Bonny, Michelle, Bob our butler, and the entire Highland Manor staff went above and beyond for us to make our day amazing. Literally every detail was taken into account. Our butler Bob was fantastic- he brought us whatever drinks we wanted, made sure we were comfortable, and even carried my veil as I walked down the aisle so it wouldn't snag on the ground...like what!?! Bonny literally is super woman, she coordinated all of the vendors and our guests/wedding party. She made sure everyone knew where to be and what to do at all times in a kind a professional manner. She also decorated everything beautifully! (I sent her extremely detailed lists of where I wanted everything; bless her for even being able to make sense of my crazy notes) And she bustled my dress within like two minutes by herself without me even asking! I could literally go on forever about how incredible Bonny is! Also all of our guests (including my husband and I) LOVED the food. We did a brunch wedding so we had breakfast food, and everyone was obsessed with the food... everything was amazing! My husband and I had the most perfect day and it was all because of Bonny and the Highland Manor team. We are so grateful for their amazing service and attention to every detail, as it truly made our day special for everyone who attended. Thank you so much to Bonny, Michelle, Bob, and every staff member who helped us have the most perfect wedding that we will cherish forever! -

From the moment we visited the Highland manor I knew this was the venue we had to get married at! My husband and I are from Tampa and we made all our guests drive 2 hours to Apopka because that how in love we were with this venue ! Our coordinator was Bonny and she is absolutely amazing !! She promptly replies to all emails and pays close attention to detail. We held our ceremony at annunciation Catholic Church and our reception at the highland manor, I was really worried the transition from the church to the venue would be rough but everything was perfection ! From the moment my guests arrive they were given the best of service ! Pictures do this venue no justice so please make the drive !!
Thank you again to the highland manor staff !! -

Bridget Sent on 03/05/2019Beautiful Venue with an amazing staff
We had an amazing experience on our wedding day and it's all because of the Wonderful team at Highland Manor. We started our first contact with Bonny. She was wonderful showing us around the property and giving us all the information we needed to pick a place to host our wedding. It was important for us to have a place we could have both ceremony and reception at the same location. I also had a big party so I wanted to have a spot we could all get ready for the day. The bridal suite was very big for my big party and was so beautiful I knew it would look great in pictures. This was the first place we looked at and loved it but still had a few other places on the list to check out. The other spaces didn't even compare. After we booked every time I had a question about the event the team would get back to us in a timely matter and was always very accommodating. As we got closer to our date we were assigned David as our day of coordinator. We could not have been happier. David was amazing. He was very organized and so professional. He always answered any questions in a very timely manner. The day of was amazing. We had a butler service which was amazing. The staff the whole day was so friendly and took such good care of us. Always made sure I had a drink in my hand and that I got plenty of time to eat. The food was fantastic. I got so many complements on the food for the wedding day. They even gave us to go bags so we had something to eat later one in the evening. David was great through out the night. He would come and check in with us and make sure we were staying on our time line and then would take a step back and let us enjoy our night. He had a great balance of being available when we needed him stepping back and letting us enjoy the night. My pictures came out beautifully and that is due to the beauty of the venue itself. If you are an Orlando bride and looking for a venue please check out Highland Manor. A big thank you to to the team at Highland Manor for making our day so special. -

Jessica Sent on 02/17/2019Amazing Brunch Wedding!
We cannot even begin to describe how amazing the staff at Dubsdread Catering was in helping us have the wedding of our dreams at Highland Manor! Michelle was with us every step of the way and we could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator! The day of staff took care of everything and made the day run so smoothly for us and our guests. Our brunch menu was a hit for everyone and we loved the mimosas. Again, thank you all again for helping us have the perfect day! -

Highland Manor is a perfect location. It is conveniently located and easy to access. The building and grounds are so beautiful and can provide so many different opportunities for photos. I cannot recommend Highland Manor enough. Highland Manor gave us our dream wedding and it was so reasonable. So many things are included when you use this venue.
When I first saw Highland Manor I assumed it would be out of my budget. I was definitely budget conscious and a DIY bride. But, it was within my budget and I was still able to express myself through projects and decor.
The service at Highland Manor, from the coordinators (we had Bonny who was simply AMAZING), to the food (also AMAZING), to the space (just breathtaking) couldn't be matched by any other venue. -

WOW is all I can say. Our original wedding venue cancelled on us three months prior to our wedding date and we were left crushed. Christiana was the first person we came into contact with and she was awesome at making our original budget fit with the Highland Manor menus. Michelle showed us the property two days later and she really gave us an in-depth view at all that the venue has to offer. We were there talking with her for almost an hour and a half and we didn't feel rushed in the slightest. Bonny was our assigned wedding coordinator and her and the team were AMAZING - they made us feel so comfortable after such a terrible experience with the previous venue. Leading up to our wedding day, Bonny was so organized, answered my emails so quickly, and just made us feel confident that everything would go according to plan. And everything went so well on our big day! I wasn't bothered with small details and I was able to enjoy the whole day with almost no stress. Highland Manor and Bonny really know how to execute a wedding from set-up to breakdown. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and we are so glad that that this was where we ended up having our wedding. A true blessing in disguise! -

Highland Manor was the star at our wedding! The beautiful tree with the Spanish moss was so perfect of a backdrop. The staff on the night was so professional, organized, sweet and kind. The evening was such a success and we highly recommend the Highland Manor for anyone wanting a beautiful vintage feel venue and great professional staff! -
Lauren Sent on 04/23/2018Highland Manor, Bonny, and Dubsdread Catering are AMAZING! They were an absolute pleasure to work with and Bonny helped make sure we had the most perfect wedding day.
We could not have asked for a more beautiful venue than this one! The main house is very elegant inside and out. The outside portion of the house made for some amazing photos and provided the perfect back drop for our ceremony by the big oak tree.
Bonny did an exceptional job as the day of coordinator and everything went smoothly and as planned on the day of. As a bride, it was great to know that Bonny could and would handle anything and she made sure we had a perfect, stress-free day. The staff is very hardworking and made the day enjoyable for every guest that was present on our special day. We even had butler for the day who made sure we stayed hydrated and had food to eat. To Bonny and the Dubsdread team, we can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work! Thank you for ensuring that we had the most perfect day imaginable and exceeding any and all expectations we had.
Dubsdread provided the catering service at Highland Manor and it was phenomenal! Nearly every guest we talked to made it a point to mention how great the food was!
Highland Manor is absolutely perfect and beautiful place to have a wedding! Dubsdread Catering and their team helped make our day perfect. We would highly recommend having your wedding or special event at Highland Manor, especially if you want to have a great time! -

Kimberly Sent on 02/04/2017BEYOND AMAZING Venue and Catering to have as a part of your wedding. From the moment by husband (fiance then) and I had walked into this beautiful venue, something just said this is "it"! The food was UNBELIEVABLE and they really care about you happy and stress-free. Their services exceeded our expectations; Bonny and the Highland Team did such a great job with organizing and making sure our day ran smoothly. We were beyond blessed to have had them as part of our wedding! -

Emily Sent on 10/28/2016I had my wedding here on 10/16/16 and couldn't have chosen a better venue! Bonny and Gian from the Dubsdread team were exceptional in working with us the entire day. Bonny was with us from day one about two years ago and her level of service and help was insanely wonderful. Everything went off without a hitch and they made sure that we (my bridal party) and my groom and his guys were all taken care of. The grounds are beautiful and the food was so good that our friends are still talking about it. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our day so magical! -

Colleen Sent on 11/27/2015From the moment my husband and I arrived at Highland Manor for our first appointment, we knew that this would be our wedding venue. The entire location is absolutely breathtaking! We chose to have an autumn wedding in the evening and used the chapel, which is beautifully decorated. Bonny, our day-of event coordinator, and G, our head waiter, were absolutely amazing! They handled our rowdy wedding party with such patience. They truly made our wedding seamless! Although it is a little expensive, the old saying 'you get what you pay for' is absolutely true! The staff at Highland Manor work so hard to make your day the most special occasion possible, and they absolutely delivered. My husband and I have received so many compliments on the venue and food, saying it was a pinterest-worthy wedding with delicious food. Highland Manor is, without a doubt, worth every penny you pay for! -

Jennifer Sent on 12/22/2014I don't even know where to start. The staff went above and beyond to meet our every desire. I can't think of one thing they said no to, or charged us unfairly for, or DIDN'T bend over backwards to accommodate.
Just a few highlights:
- Corey Ouellette. We felt like we were talking to a friend. There was a moment where the venue told us he may not be able to coordinate our wedding, and we were crushed. A few days later, Corey called us to assure us he would be the one heading up our wedding. He was one of the main reasons we chose HM in the first place, and we were so overjoyed he was able to coordinate.
- Andrew, our personal waiter. He was there for anything my husband and I needed, from fetching items to getting us drinks to alerting family members of where they needed to be. He was super warm and friendly, and he and Corey truly made our experience with Highland Manor a dream.
- Thrown-in items we didn't have to pay for. Corey provided us with some last-minute things we didn't have and really needed, like a carpeted aisle-runner cover he'd come across and hurricane lamps for our unity candles. When you're a few days away from a wedding you've been planning over a year, this service is priceless.
- Communication. If I could give HM more than five stars on this, I would. I usually didn't have to wait more than an hour, even on weekends (and at night!), to get a response to an e-mail. It was such a weight off my shoulders to have information at my fingertips!
- The service in general. Just a few things off the top of my head: 1. Corey charged us a price that had been implied for something instead of the actual price, 2. We were $50 short on our F&B minimum and they told us not to worry about it, 3. We went over our bar tab by $80 and were again told not to worry about it. They took care of us so well.
- The food! If you aren't sure what to pick, get the beef tenderloin and chicken boursin.
I wish I had more space to review. Book HM - you won't regret it!
