    Excellent Venue to work with

    As a Wedding DJ, working with venues is an every day task. With the pandemic still upon us we have worked VERY hard to return to the celebration ASAP in a safe but exciting way, and Melhorn Manor is doing it.
    Along with a 5star crew or vendors, we held a socially distant and informative Wedding Show this past Sunday. Limited attendance, every safety precaution, and multiple waves of guests allowed us to showcase our services without putting anyone at risk.
    Consider Melhorn Manor for your wedding for their atmosphere, their professionalism, their respect for your event and your needs, and for the fact that they WANT YOUR EVENT TO HAPPEN!!

    The best venue and vendors you will find!

    I cannot speak highly enough of Jess and Allory Melhorn. They are so personable and helpful throughout the ENTIRE process - not just the month before! Their venue is just beautiful. You get so much space for the wedding between the 3 barns. I wouldn’t look anywhere else - contact them right now!

    Dream Come True!

    Talk about detailed! The team over at Melhorn Manor was tremendous in helping us to consider every detail that mattered on our special day. They were thoughtful, meticulous and so, so encouraging. Chip and I felt so taken care of, and so secure with our choice as the months continued on throughout our engagement. As is typical in Pennsylvania, we thought it might rain - luckily Melhorn Manor had a wonderful backup location that was just as beautiful as the outdoor courtyard we had originally wanted to leverage. Luckily, with breaks in the day we got some AMAZING shots outside - especially with Melhorn’s newest Water Feature! Absolutely Gorgeous! Everything about this venue is exactly what you’d want in Central PA - easy to locate, gorgeous indoor romantic feel, amazing outdoor greenery; floral; and water features. And plenty of parking! We even got in our Sparkler send off! The guests loved this location and took advantage of all that the surrounding area has to offer, and the bridal party also took advantage of the local (like 400 feet away) Air BnB’s the Roost on the Run and Nest on the Run for their guest welcome reception and general bridal party shenanigans (highly recommend!) We can’t recommend Melhorn more highly to any and all couples looking for the best Wedding Venue in Central PA!

    Melhorn a magical place

    Melhorn Manor made our daughters wedding day perfect in every way. Jess and Allory were helpful and available the bridal suite was so nice to have since my daughter her bridesmaids and myself spent hours before the wedding doing hair and makeup together. The chapel on the premises was so convenient since we were from New Jersey and our guests didn’t have to drive to two locations. Melhorn offered for free many added touches such as decorative box for cards, wooden rustic table markers, reserved markers for aisles in church and more. I would recommend Melhorn Manor to anyone. I would consider having my other daughters wedding at Melhorn one day.

    Best Wedding Venue Ever!!!!!

    My husband and I got married at Melhorn Manor on January 7th, 2023. We had our ceremony and reception at their location. Not only were Jess and Allory the most organized, nice, and welcoming people, but they know exactly how to run a wedding venue. They have great communication. They make sure that your day runs smoothy. They help repurpose decorations from the ceremony to the reception. They are AMAZING. I would hightly recommend having your wedding or event at Melhorn Manor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    An Absolute Joy

    Allory and Jess were an absolute joy to work with. Not only was the venue beautiful but the people running it and their staff genuinely cared about us and our wants and needs for our special day. Their communication and help throughout the whole planning process was amazing and they truly helped us have the most special day. Everything went off seamlessly and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We will continue to recommend this venue to all the engaged couples we know!

You have been there for us every step of the way, even helping us reach out to other vendors and the late night text messages back and forth. Melhorn Manor is LGBTQ+ friendly, and I would recommend 110%.

    100% recommend

    My wife and I got married at Melhorn Manor this past September, and the whole entire process was incredible. Jess and Allory were so kind, accommodating, and understanding. We booked with them just under 2 years before the actual date, and they kept communication open the entire time with check-Ins and updates right up to the day of the wedding. The day of, they were on site and ready to help us with whatever we needed. They are just kind and welcoming people at the heart of it all, and all of our guest felt so at home and welcomed. I will forever recommend Melhorn Manor, not only because it is a beautiful, elegant venue, but also because the venue is owned by genuinely good people!!!

    Melhorn Manor Review

    We absolutely loved having our wedding reception at Melhorn Manor,. From the minute we met Jess & Allory we knew it was the right place for us. They were so helpful whenever we had any questions with planning our day. It Is such a beautiful setting, from the stables which provided an amazing space for our cocktail hour to the ballroom with its gorgeous woodwork & chandeliers. The bridal suite and the man cave are fantastic touches that make getting ready during the day of a blast! We could not be happier and will always be thankful that we were able to celebrate our wedding day at Melhorn Manor.

    Aug 18, 2022

    The Melhorn's do not disappoint. Starting from the time we met Allory and Jessica to the end of our wedding night we could not have asked for kinder people. They are both incredibly patient, nice, and smart. They have been in this role for many years now and it is a wonderful feeling to know you can trust them with one of the most important days ever. I would book with Jessica and Allory 1,000 times over if possible. You will not regret it one bit.

    The venue itself is beautiful. So many wonderful areas for portraits, cocktail hour, ceremony, etc. No matter what weather happens on your day you will not be upset.

    The worst part of booking with such wonderful people and venue is realizing that after the wedding day has come to end end, so has your planning. I have had the pleasure of chatting here and there with Jess post wedding, but no one tells you about the void you feel after spending a year or more with your vendors. I hope to be back with my husband to say "Hi" when it's near our anniversary.

    Do you and your future partner a favor, and book with Melhorn Manor! You can thank me later :)

    Absolutely beautiful

    Ryan and I are so incredibly happy we picked this venue. This was only our second venue that we looked at and we both looked at each other and knew that this is where we wanted to spend such an important day in our lives. Jess and Allory were so amazing and made everything go so flawlessly! It made our day just that more special. I can not recommend this venue more, not just because of how beautiful it is, but because Jess & Allory make you feel like family and really take care of you. Thank you guys so much for the most beautiful day that I will never ever forget!

    Melhorn was amazing in entire process. Jess was amazing as the coordinator and everything went off completely smooth. Made the whole planning process very easy going yet was extremely professional and had amazing insight. Would highly recommend.

    Gorgeous, gracious, authentic

    My husband and I are incredibly grateful for the Melhorn Family hosting such a perfect wedding venue where we were able to have the large wedding we wanted, including all of our most precious family and friends, for reasonable cost. While we did plan for a few decorations and some flowers, we were free from stress of how we would make the space look nice on the wedding day, because every space, indoor and outdoor, is authentically gorgeous just as it is. Our guests still mention the "Wow" as they walked through the door to the reception. The entire venue feels authentic. It does not feel like trappings pulled together that largely look out of place as many venues these days do, but rather thoughtful historic preservation with just the right amount of modern amenities. It must not go without mentioning that Jess and Allory were the most gracious, kind hosts who were wonderful to work with from beginning to end. They gave my husband and me such a great gift in hosting our wedding at their venue, a gorgeous, stress free day with our loved ones.

    June 25th 2022 wedding!

    Let me start by saying of your thinking about booking The Melhorn family do it. We searched a few other wedding venues and they by far offered way more for hell of a price. You definitely get your bang for your buck with them. Jess and Allroy are absolutely the best wedding venue owners I’ve ever met. There is no doubt in my mind that without the help of those two out day wouldn’t have gone as well as it did. They made you feel like part of their Melhorn family before your actual day. Jess answered every question we could possibly think of leading up to and on the wedding day. They were the upmost professional with all the wedding guests. They helped whoever needed help and directed everyone from the ceremony to cocktail hour without a hitch. The vendors they recommend are fantastic as well. Definitely stick to the list of vendors they give you because you definitely won’t regret it. It was a very hot June day but they made sure everyone in the wedding party and guest were properly hydrated the whole time. Just when you think they can’t blow your mind with hospitality they blow your expectations out the water. I recommend Melhorn Manor to any newly engaged couples in my friend group because they are absolutely the best!

    Amazing venue, even better people

    We found Melhorn through our wedding planner. It was only the second venue we toured but once we were done, we kne it was the one. Allory met with us during our initial tour and was just the kindest, most patient. He really helped us envision ourself at the venue on our wedding day. Jess had also been very kind, and bring a very refreshing energy to the whole wedding process. I cannot say enough good things about Allory and Jess. The venue itself is beautiful, lots of space, plenty of options. Lends a very great scene for photos and memories that we'll cherish forever. Allory and Jess, and Melhorn Manor is highly recommended by us.

    #1 Wedding Venue in PA!!

    Melhorn Manor is simply the BEST!! My husband and I got married there on September 25th, 2020 and it was absolutely perfect! Not only are the owners, Jessica & Allory, the nicest people you will ever meet but they will go above and beyond for you on your wedding day. We will never be able to thank them enough for everything they did to make our day so special. Jess became not only my wedding coordinator but also my personal de-stressor and a true friend. She was there for me to talk to whenever I needed. She answered any & all questions we had, and I could vent to her about wedding planning (any bride knows this is HUGE). Getting married brings on a lot of challenges and none less than those of 2020, but Allory & Jess made sure to be there for their couples with constant COVID updates so that you didn't feel alone with the unknowns. Other than my husband and I choosing to marry each other, choosing Melhorn as our venue was the best decision we made. I miss them so much already!! So if you are on here looking for a venue in the Lancaster, PA area LOOK NO FURTHER!! Melhorn Manor IS IT. It will truly be the most amazing day of your life!!

    Best venue!

    We got married at Melhorn Manor on New Years Day! The wedding was absolutely gorgeous! We were still hearing from guests and loved ones about the stunning venue weeks after the wedding took place! Jess and Allory are sweet as can be! They are extremely helpful and go above and beyond to make your day special! Every little detail was planned so nicely! We couldn’t thank the Melhorn family. Enough for letting us use their stunning spaces for our wedding! It will absolutely be an unforgettable day!

    Amazing venue !

    Two years ago, my husband and I attended Melhorn's open house and fell in love. The fact that Jess and Allory put on such an event shows how much they care about their couples. From start to finish we were blown away with Melhorn. I loved all of the options we had on their property. I was someone who didn't want a room flip and Melhorn gives you options for your ceremony location which worked perfectly for us. Every space they have to offer is drop dead gorgeous. Jess is so amazing with keeping to a timeline and thinking of every little detail. Being a type A planner, I thought I had everything figured out. Jess was able to see the things I forgot and helped problem solve. Jess and Allory both ensured our day went as smooth as possible which allowed us to enjoy our special day. I can't say enough positive things about Melhorn. Let's do it all again !

    Exceeded all of our expectations!

    From our first visit to Melhorn Manor to our wedding day, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Allory and Jessica made us feel like friends rather than just a customer. They were there for us every step of the way. As a bride I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue. The bridal suite took my breath away and my husband loved the mancave. We highly recommend Melhorn Manor to any future couples.

    A place your guests will talk about for months!

    I had my wedding here in October of 2022 and it was more than I could have ever dreamed it would be. The Melhorns are FANTASTIC to work with. From the moment we met them we knew we wanted to get married on their property. They are so kind and knowledgeable and Jess was on top of the event planning with answers to every and any questions that we had. There are so many spots throughout the venue for pictures both inside and outside. We also had 20 or so people getting ready there day of and it was so comfortable and spacious for us all (our hair and makeup was very happy to have the space). I told them when it was over that I wish we could have an event there every year because of how enjoyable our experience was. If you have the chance to get married here-book ASAP!!

    The Venue of Our Dreams

    My husband and I had our wedding this October at Melhorn Manor and it was everything and more that we dreamed of. We are so happy that we went with Melhorn Manor to host our wedding. The venue has so many special and unique touches from the different chandeliers to the beautiful courtyard. We fell in love with every aspect of Melhorn Manor. Our guests all traveled more than 2 hours and couldn't stop saying how beautiful the venue was. The owners, Jess and Allory, add to the 5 star experience with their attentiveness and support from beginning to end of the wedding planning process. When we had to postpone due to the pandemic, they were understanding and helpful. Any time I had a question, they were quick to respond and help along the way. They made our wedding day stress free and memorable. Our wedding felt just as special as the day we got married thanks to Jess and Allory. I would definitely recommend Melhorn Manor if you want a unique barn venue with caring owners. Melhorn Manor has a true rustic charm that you can't find at any other venue!

    Fantastic!

    Melhorn Manor hosted my dream wedding! Jess and Allory were the best to work with. Super detail oriented, responsive, and organized. They made sure that every single detail, down to my husbands OCD of linen choices, was hammered out so that our day could be completely worry free. We received countless complements about how beautiful the venue was! I’d get married there again and again!
