Wedding Planning
We HIGHLY recommend using a professional wedding planner or day-of coordinator! They can be considered one of the most important investments for your entire wedding. When in comes to planning, decorating, and executing your timeline, they will take everything off of your plate, so that you can fully enjoy your big day stress-free!
With that said, we DO NOT require professional wedding planners be used. However, we DO require a day-of coordinator, either professional or non-professional, to execute your event timeline day-of.
We are happy to recommend wedding planners and day-of coordinators for your event!
A wedding planner works with you from day 1 through your wedding day to help guide you through the entire planning process. They will create day-of timelines, negotiate vendor contracts, create floor plans and seating charts, budgeting, décor, manage and execute your timeline on wedding day, in addition to many other things you didn’t even know you had to worry about! For this reason, we HIGHLY recommend working with a full-service wedding planner so that you can focus on yourself and your big day stress free.
A professional Day-Of Coordinator will provide many of the same services as a wedding planner, but begin working with you about 1-2 months before your wedding. They are a great cost-effective alternative, and will often be 50% or more less than a wedding planner.
The role of our venue manager is to work with your vendors in coordinating site visits, delivery of décor, food, and any other items vendors may be bringing to the venue. The venue manager acts as a central point of contact for anything that has to do with the venue itself, and makes sure that all rules and guidelines are followed. This division of roles, between planners/coordinators and the venue manager, is essential in making sure that your event goes as smoothly as possible.
The Manor House staff is only responsible for any decorating when our décor inventory is used. For example, if you decide to use our linens, we will be responsible for the set-up and breakdown of linens. If the couple or vendors decide to bring and use their own décor at the venue, they will be responsible for the set-up and breakdown of this décor.
In terms of decorating times, we allow you and your vendors to decorate the venue the day prior to your event, so long as there are no other booked events.
Yes! We offer several décor upgrades that will definitely take your wedding up a notch! These include:
- Uplighting/Lightscaping
- Gold Chiavari Chairs
- Spandex w/Sash Covered Chairs
- Spandex Covered Ceremony Chairs
- Colored Linens (85+ colors)
- Textured Linens (6+ textures)
Yes! We are partnered with Hale Transportation to provide private transportation for guests and/or the wedding party.
For 2024, we are also launching our in-house Chauffer Service, which will provide a transportation option for the bride and groom at the end of the night, in a stylish Tesla Model S! Ask our venue manager about pricing & availability during your venue tour!
Vendors
Yes! We have partnered with some of the best vendors in our area! Whether you are looking for great photographers, caterers, florists, hair & makeup stylists, or anyone else you can think of, we’ve got you covered! We only provide our Preferred Vendors List to couples after they have booked their wedding with us.
Yes! We want your event to be exactly the way you envisioned it. Any vendors you wish to use that are not included on our Preferred Vendors list we are happy to work with. We do require that any outside vendors be pre-approved by The Manor House and have prior wedding/event experience, an appropriate business license, and be fully insured.
