Summit Manor was such a beautiful place to have our wedding. There were so many different places in the house for guests to relax, dance, eat, and celebrate. David, who manages the manor, was invaluable when it came to wedding planning and making sure the big day went smoothly. I am so glad we had our wedding there, I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was such a gorgeous and fun day.

Our wedding at Summit Manor was truly a dream come true! We knew we were in good hands from the moment we first toured the venue with David. The day of, the food was delicious, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our guests still rave about it! The service was impeccable. There was even a doorman which made everything feel so luxurious. David was truly the star of the show when it came to planning. He guided us through every step of the planning process with professionalism and care, making what could have been a stressful experience an absolute breeze. I’ve heard from many brides how difficult and overwhelming wedding planning can be, but thanks to Summit Manor and David, everything flowed smoothly from start to finish. Amber, our photographer, captured the day in stunning detail. Her photos are breathtaking and truly capture all the joy and beauty of the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more perfect setting for our wedding. Summit Manor exceeded all our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue that truly takes care of everything.

We had my daughters wedding and reception on September 14, 2024 at Summit Manor. It was an absolutely amazing wedding! The grounds and house, truly beautiful and well cared for. The food was fantastic. We had the beef and salmon. The beef was tender and flavorful the salmon cooked to perfection. David and his team were so helpful and professional. We also had the pumpkin ravioli which was so good as was the salad, rice, veggie medly, and bread choices. I received so many compliments from friends and family. Our entire family highly recommend Summit Manor!!!

We hosted our son's Bar Mitzvah with Summit Manor over the weekend, and I can't begin to tell you just how wonderful a night it was. David and his staff were incredible and worked hard to ensure a smooth, stress-free evening. Not a single detail was overlooked, and everything went off without a hitch. The beauty of the mansion, the simple decor and the amazing food were only a few of the many highlights. The weather was even beautiful enough to extend our celebration to the outdoor space, making it an enjoyable and very relaxing night for all guests. We also received many compliments from friends and family! What a beautiful and memorable way to celebrate such an amazing milestone. A huge thank you to David and his team!

My wife and I got married here in September 2023, and we were so happy with our venue choice! Summit Manor is beautiful, and it was crucial to us that we had rooms at the venue for getting ready rather than having to get ready somewhere else. We had the ceremony outside under the big oak tree with the provided arch, and it was an absolutely beautiful fall day. Our cocktail hour was outside, and for the rest of the reception our guests were able to wander in and out, mingling outside and dancing inside. The mansion vibes were excellent, with all of the dark wood, bookshelves, built in decor, and downstairs speakeasy. We barely had to bring any of our own decorations. David was so easy to work with, and made all of the planning very seamless. He was happy to accommodate our requests for a charcuterie table cocktail hour and breakfast for dinner. We got so many compliments on the food! The venue size was perfect for our guest count of 100. Highly recommend Summit Manor as a wedding venue.

Hosted a SendOff- Funearls Remiagned at Summit Manor and couldn't have been more pleased. This charming, beautiful, home-like mansion was perfect for a memorial service. The staff was excellent and Manager David McLaughlin were awesome!

My husband and I got married here in June 2023, and had a fantastic experience! We really had the perfect wedding. Multiple of our guests said our wedding was the best they had ever been to, and ALL of the credit for that goes to David, the site coordinator, who was incredibly helpful at every step of the process.Below are a couple of highlights from the day:The food was AMAZING! At our wedding, we had salmon and beef, and it was so tasty! All our guests were talking about how much they enjoyed the food. I know it can be difficult to prepare food for a large amount of people, but they really exceeded all my expectations!The staff at Summit Manor and all the preferred vendors (provided upon booking with Summit Manor) were really great. Very easy to work with, and they all seemed to be familiar with how events are run at Summit Manor. The whole day ran very smoothly, and went off without a single hitch!The venue is VERY beautiful and unique. It was really great that the entire venue was usable to our guests (the basement area speakeasy, the main floor, upstairs areas, and patio/outdoor areas).If you are getting married, or looking for a venue to host an event, I would HIGHLY recommend you check out Summit Manor!

We had our wedding at Summit Manor and it was the best party of my life. David made event planning a breeze and it was very comforting that they have an in-house chef that makes the food fresh to order (and not sitting in hot boxes all day). The food was phenomenal. In my ten years of wedding catering experience, I've never had a salmon cooked that perfectly. During the party, David helped keep us on track and was flexible to the guests' needs. We originally planned to have the Welcome/Blessing in the Manor, but since the weather was perfect and all the guests were outside enjoying the day, we moved it outside to not disrupt the flow of the event. From planning, to our getting ready in the morning, through the party, and at the end of the night when David helped my parents pack up our gifts, décor, and belongings -- it was fantastic. I would give this 10 out of 5 stars if I could. Highly recommend.
