Elstowe Manor at Elkins Estate Reviews

While I loved the beauty of the venue and the space and my wedding was wonderful, my planning experience was less than ideal. Landmark was very disorganized and they had yet to hire an on site coordinator so I was dealing with the CEO on all details. It was a frustrating experience. On top of the frustrating planning experience, I did have an incredible day. This piece pains me the most, but I do feel like I need to share this for other couples. I had three pieces of family heirloom jewelry stolen from my bridal suite- 2 diamond bracelets and a diamond ring of my great grandmothers. Jeanne and Ed say they searched the trash but I suspect one of the many workers who came in and out of my room took them. We did file a police report but unfortunately it hasn’t amounted to anything. I was very disappointed by this and feel like others should know before booking with Elkins. Reviewed on 09-12-2023

The Elkins Estate is a hidden gem tucked away in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. As you pull up through the iron gates, you feel like you're pulling up to another country far far away. The architecture of the estate will wow you and your guests. Every room has it own unique beauty and serves its own purpose as you move through your wedding day. Jeanne and her team were extremely accommodating in helping us create our wedding day down to the last detail. I couldn't have planned a more perfect day at a more beautiful venue. If I had to do it all again, (which I wish I could), I'd call Jeanne back in a heartbeat. Reviewed on 14-09-2023

Our wedding at Elstowe Manor at Elkins Estate was above and beyond the best day and weekend of our lives. We are the first couple to get married at the newly renovated Elkins Estate and it was because of the incredible team at Landmark Hospitality, specifically Jeanne Cretella and Catie Douglass and the rest of their amazing hospitality team that we and our guests had the most fabulous weekend of our lives. We booked Elkins a year and a half ago when it was under construction and just starting to be thoughtfully and carefully restored and renovated. We had no idea throughout most of the planning process exactly what it was going to look like. However, Jeanne’s hospitality mindset, grace, communication and “we’ll get it done!” attitude put us at ease throughout the planning process and allowed things to come together into a beautiful and seamless experience. I can’t imagine a more beautiful venue – truly. The team at landmark was such a joy to work with, and my husband and I will never, ever get over how dreamlike it was to get married and stay overnight there in their guest suites alongside our bridal/groom party. ALL of our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was — it was, again, above and beyond what we could’ve imagined. Jeanne and her team made themselves so available to us throughout the process that it put us so much more at ease with the uncertainty of the venue being under construction. From the moment we walked into the venue the day before our wedding, her hospitality team put in so many little details to make this was the most memorable weekend — from having all of our appetizers and drinks waiting for Chris and I in a small side room after the ceremony so we could have a moment to ourselves (and have a bite to eat!) to custom “E” ice cubes in our guests rooms, to the snacks/drinks in each of the overnight rooms – the Landmark team made sure every need was met for all of our overnight guests.Finally, the food. The food was so delicious – it was honestly the best food I had ever had at a wedding, from the amazing apps during cocktail hour to our incredibleeeee main courses – we got SO MUCH feedback on our guests at how delicious everything was!!! Plus Jeanne and her team worked with us to curate wine selections and his/hers cocktails that got rave reviews all night. We wish we could go back and experience it all again. We are so glad we booked with the team at Elkins + Landmark Hospitality. If you are a couple looking to book here for your wedding, look no further for the most unique and perfect venue and hospitality team. Reviewed on 22-06-2023
