“We got married at Melhorn Manor on 4.13.24 and everything about this place was amazing!!!! Our entire experience with the Melhorns was fantastic. Wedding planning can be overwhelming but they did everything they could to make it that much easier! We knew this place was where we wanted to get married from the very first visit. During the tour, Allory was so helpful and informative and showed us so many images of each space to help us visualize how it could look on our wedding day. When we started the planning process, Jess was AMAZING to work with as well. She was so organized and helped us with everything from table layouts, linens, timelines, rehearsal, and every detail in between. They were super responsive and attentive from the start to the very end and our wedding could not have gone any more smooth, thanks to the Melhorns and team. The entire venue was beautiful. The bridal suite has so much space for all your girls to get ready and the groomsman suite was a hit for the guys. The reception hall is stunning and there was so much room to move around even with 18 tables. If you’re considering Melhorn Manor, my only advice is DO IT!!!!!”

As the bride, I expected to feel so much anxiety the day of my wedding and I didn’t at all. I truly thank Allory, Jess and their team for that! I 1000% recommend Melhorn Manor as anyone’s wedding venue and wish we could do it all over again just to be able to work with them again!”

“Melhorn Manor is by far the best wedding venue in Lancaster County! From the moment we toured Melhorn we were welcomed and immediately felt at home. No other venues we toured even compared to Melhorn and all they had to offer. We were amazed by the beautiful locations that the property has to offer, which include their outside ceremony on the lawn, the historic barn for the reception, and landscaping which made for amazing photographs. Jess and Allory keep things organized and stress free throughout the review meetings leading up to wedding day. For your wedding day, start to finish, the Melhorn Manor team assure your day will be smooth and nothing will go missed. We had the wedding of our dreams at Melhorn Manor.”
