User869734 Sent on 07/19/2012We had a very small and intimate wedding. We were married in the front yard under the majestic oak and had our reception in the Carriage House. It was absolutely perfect. Our guests raved about the food and atmosphere. The staff was exceptionally helpful and accomodating. Our wedding pictures are breathtaking! -

Johnny Sent on 01/27/2012Robin and her staff were incredible, and prefect. On the night before the wedding we had the rehearsal dinner at Ormond Plantation afterward I and two of my bridesmaids retired into the Bridal Suite to relax and get some sleep. On the morning of my Big Day Robin and her cook made us breakfast, to make sure we could make it thru the busy day. I can’t express the joy, the pleasure, the excitement when my husband and I first saw our wedding pictures; the Plantation and the Oak Tree looked amazing. I would recommend using Ormond Plantation. . -
User2048005 Sent on 02/22/2015My wife and I had both our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception here.
The rehearsal dinner was fantastic. Chef makes great food, you won't be disappointed. Richard (the owners son) is a true blessing. He worked his butt of for us both at the rehearsal and during the day of our wedding. He is fantastic and I can't say enough good things about him being worth his weight in gold. We didn't get quite as much assistance from the venue as we anticipated during setup so if you are bringing a lot of your own stuff, bring some friends as well.
I didn't love our wedding coordinator, she was late to the rehearsal (I had to restart for her). Then, the next day she asked similar questions as I was about to walk down the aisle (she didn't remember), had the nerve to say I was the most nervous groom she'd ever worked with (UNPROFESSIONAL), and then didn't orchestrate any of the reception events (I told her we were cutting the cake, doing the second line, ect). I was not a fan of her services as I could have just done everything myself... since I did anyway.
Robin (owner) is very laid back which I love but my wife occasionally got frustrated with - For instance, they were very willing to work with us at everyone's convenience for the pay schedule (super helpful for our situation), but don't necessarily have an itemized inventory of decorations. Like I said, I appreciated the calm demeanor, but my wife was somewhat frustrated with the lack of specificity.
Overall, the plantation is fantastic - I can't recommend the setting enough.
Food is also just great. Its true cajun cuisine and Chef is a pro.
Would definitely recommend and its value can't be beaten.

The food given to me and my groom was really cold, not even warm, cold! That made our meal not so enjoyable.
One of the employees, apart of the wait staff, was taking photos in our photo booth. Very unprofessional!
One of my guests and my mom complained about one of the women, Debbie, in the office being very rude and unprofessional.
The biggest problem was we paid $800 to get married under the tree behind the plantation. It rained that day, so the ceremony was moved in the reception space, yet we were not refunded ANY money from that fee. There should be somewhere in a contract that states a partial or full refund if the weather prevents the ceremony from occurring under the tree. Instead the owner informed us no refund, because she needed to bring in more staff. That was never discussed or agreed upon, prior to the wedding.Ormond Plantation Manor's reply:
Our mission is for every bride's day to be perfect and we strive for that here at Ormond. The duty of our Wedding Attendant is to make sure everything is on time and flows accordingly. Most brides appreciate the schedule being adhered to and it is her job to make sure that it is followed in a professional manner.
We apologize for your servings not being warm although we received many compliments from your wedding party and guests.
The cost of a ceremony here at Ormond starts at $800.00; prices vary according to location - Pavilion, Courtyard, Home - all are $800. Should we have inclement weather, the ceremony is moved into one of these locations; Home or Pavilion. Unfortunately, we have no control over the weather and your ceremony was moved into the Pavilion, which was rearranged for the ceremony then rearranged into the configuration for the reception, which your team decorated beautifully.
We apologize for any unprofessionalism you may have experienced from any of our employees, we want our clients to experience nothing but the best. We appreciate your review and comments. Our sincerest apologies and warmest wishes to you and your groom.
