Our wedding was 9/23/23 and it was so perfect! From the day we visited Melhorn Manor to the day of our wedding, we were so thankful to have found a great venue owned by even greater people! The venue itself offered so much on the property, that really set them aside from any other venue. Leading up to the day Jess and Allory were so responsive and made sure that we had everything covered as it needed to be. From picking out our caterer and bar package, linens, details for the ceremony, seating and table arrangements, etc. they made sure we were happy with our final decisions. Although the weather was not as we had hoped, as we originally had planned for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. Allory and our vendors made sure that everything flowed easily and was the wedding of our dreams. Having our ceremony in the Tobacco Barn was so beautiful and our cocktail hour was inside the Stables which was great for our guests to mingle and see all of our decor. Our friends and family had so much fun and are still telling us how our wedding was one of the best they have ever been to! I could not thank the Melhorn’s and their staff enough for allowing us to forever cherish the precious memories we made that day! Reviewed on 14-12-2023

Our wedding was 11/11/23 at Melhorn Manor and it was perfect! Choosing this venue was one of the best choices we made. The venue is gorgeous, spacious, and the perfect blend of modern and rustic. The bridal and groom suites are a must if you are getting ready on site at a venue, and the spaces at Melhorn are large enough to comfortably hang out. The owners, Jess and Allory, really set this venue above the rest. They are so organized, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and you can tell they really care about the couples getting married at their venue. During our wedding, Allory and Jess were present to make sure everything ran smoothly. I will recommend Melhorn 100% to anyone in search of a wedding venue! Reviewed on 13-11-2023

We had our wedding on 9/16/23 @ Melhorn Manor. I can't even begin to put into words how much I absolutely love and recommend, not only this venue, but the owners. They were so great with organizing everything from start to finish. We originally had a different venue but decided to change and go with Melhorn and it was the best decision we could have ever made. They were friendly, understanding, easy going, just great. If you want a venue that truly cares about your special day and making it great, Melhorn Manor is the place to be. Our guests loved the venue and were saying how beautiful it was. There were so many locations for beautiful pictures. Our day was just perfect and they had a huge part in it.

Melhorn Manor was the first and ONLY venue that we toured when looking for a venue for both our ceremony and reception. After stepping on the property for the first time we instantly fell in love! My pinterest board inspo was near to exact of everything and more that I dreamed of! When planning for a wedding on a budget we wanted to get the biggest bang for our buck - yes it may be more upfront than most venues in the area but WOW is it worth it and even SAVES you money! What really made the instant decision to book was that Jess and Allory did not try to nickle and dime you - you paid for their venue but also it came with SO much stuff. It is beautiful in its nature with its elevated barn aroma that not a lot of decorations are needed to make it elegant. They also offered all and anything they had with no extra charge including ; a list of over 100 decor items to choose from, an arch (out of three choices), all tables and chairs you could ever need, their own sound system so we did not have to hire a DJ, coordination services MONTHS BEFORE and DURING the wedding - I could go on but I think you get the idea that Melhorn Manor is an OUTSTANDING venue with people that work and care for all their couples from the bottom of their hearts. Jess & Allory - thank you for making our dream day come to life! It was everything we ever dreamed of! Reviewed on 21-08-2023

Melhorn Manor was the perfect place for our wedding. Allory and Jess helped us during booking, set up, and day of to make everything run smoothly. They were always an email, text, or phone call away to help us answer last minute questions. We had our ceremony in the Tobacco Barn, but they have at least three other places to have your ceremony.

Megan Michael(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-04-2023 Before seeing the venue, we were already pretty much sold on using Melhorn Manor as our wedding venue after just speaking with Allory and Jessica. They are so down to earth and sweet, and they were able to keep my mind at ease about anything I had questions about. As for the venue, it is absolutely beautiful and the amount of unique spaces drew us to it even more. The location being in town in Mount Joy surprised us initially, but while there you hardly even notice that this gem of a venue has other businesses and buildings nearby. You’ll feel like you’re in your own world either in the outside ceremony spot, playing cornhole at the front of the equestrian barn, or out back at their wonderful waterfall feature.

We couldn’t have asked for more from them and their team! And the venue itself is perfect- we ended up needing to utilise it in a unique way, which was pretty easy to do because of how many different location options they have.

They have been in this role for many years now and it is a wonderful feeling to know you can trust them with one of the most important days ever. I would book with Jessica and Allory 1,000 times over if possible. You will not regret it one bit. The venue itself is beautiful. So many wonderful areas for portraits, cocktail hour, ceremony, etc. No matter what weather happens on your day you will not be upset. The worst part of booking with such wonderful people and venue is realizing that after the wedding day has come to end end, so has your planning. I have had the pleasure of chatting here and there with Jess post wedding, but no one tells you about the void you feel after spending a year or more with your vendors.

Kind, flexible, relaxed, and effective, Allory and Jessica were there for us every step of the way through planning the wedding, and then dealing with COVID. The facility is great - large, plenty of parking, idyllic Lancaster county setting, rustic but with modern amenities, but again, you can probably find all that other places. What you can't always find is owners who work with you as attentively as Melhorn Manor's owners. Thanks Jessica and Allory! Reviewed on 30-11-2021

On the day of our wedding, Jess and Allory were present and available to oversee our event and help us with anything we needed. They helped us transform their gorgeous property into the wedding of our dreams. We often tell people how grateful we are that we booked with Melhorn.

The venue is so beautiful so that we only brought minimal decorations of our own. The venue also had plenty of space for our approximately 130 guests. We loved that there were various spaces were people could socialize, including the lower barn, lawn, and pavement where we could play yard games. The Melhorns were incredibly helpful and kind in the planning and preparing process. They were very prompt in replying to my questions, and could anticipate possible needs or issues.

The days leading up to our wedding were filled with so much rain, we were thinking we needed to use our Plan B ceremony option but the day of there was no rain and thanks to Melhorn's landscaping, the grass wasn't even soggy! I was able to have my outdoor ceremony like I have always envisioned! The entire flow of the wedding from outdoor ceremony, to cocktail hour in the stables, to reception in the barn just worked so well. Melhorn was a barn turned into a venue. Its a venue with history and character, different from a typical venue. Most of my guests had never seen a venue like it. The owners Jess and Allory were so helpful throughout the entire process and were very attentive and involved the day of. Days before, we found out that the velvet napkins I had selected with one of my vendors were no longer available. Once Jess found out, she went out of her way and tried so hard to find another vendor to supply velvet napkins to help complete the look I was going for!

Lisa Muscato(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-04-2021 Melhorn Manor is the place to get married (or have an event) in Lancaster County! Especially for a larger event, this is the perfect spot. The different barns and property offer many options for ceremonies and receptions. The property is right off of Main Street in Mount Joy, but as soon as you drive in, it feels like you are in a totally different place. The main barn is a gorgeous finished space that doesn’t feel like a barn, and the tobacco barn is a great indoor, temperature controlled space for a ceremony. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready, so pretty and full of life. The grooms space is a great pre wedding hang out space. The aesthetics and details are incredible, and my pictures are made all the better with the beautiful backdrop Melhorn Manor provided. But above all, the owners are the biggest reason to use this venue. Allory and Jess were super responsive, attentive and flexible. We had to adjust our event a few times due to Covid and in the end we had a fantastic day with lots of support and every detail exactly as we’d planned. Covid interfered with our dream wedding day, but Allory and Jess helped us got still have a lovely day with our family. We will be forever grateful for their hospitality and willingness to work with us to make our day just perfect. Reviewed on 15-11-2021

In the beginning of our wedding venue search- we went to about six different venues and the day we set foot and had our one on one tour, we had a gut feeling that this was where we were supposed to get married. They took so much time explaining everything to us and giving us an amazing tour! They are a business, but you can tell this means more to them!

They sent out so many updates to all the couples keeping them updated on guidelines and new rules that needed to be followed and what the next steps were- they were so thorough. And then five days before our wedding, we didn’t hear from our bartending service and other weddings/couples were having issues with this company. Jess and Allory heard about the situation and already made calls and had their own staff lined up to work our wedding, and did all of this on their own so we didn’t have to stress about it! No other venue would do that for you!!! They got all the supplies and mixers, they literally SAVED the day! Jess was actually bartending 9 months pregnant helping out- I’m telling you this couple is AMAZING and will do whatever it takes to make our wedding day run smoothly and the best for us and our guests!

The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous; all of our guests commented on that as well! It is stylish, spacious, clean, and is kept up extremely well. The location of the venue is great, too. It is in a nice quiet area, but has convenience stores, grocery stores, etc. nearby for any last-minute needs. It also has plenty of parking. Allory and Jess helped us with everything from figuring out the layout of the reception and the general timing plan of our wedding day, to on the wedding day itself, making sure that things ran perfectly smoothly—even offering to take care of big and small details here and there, like helping with the set up of the ceremony location on their property that we chose (there are several options!), making sure our guest book was moved from one place to the next as guests moved from cocktail hour to the actual reception, totally facilitating the sparkler sendoff, and Jess just checking on me (the bride) throughout the day to make sure I was doing ok. I felt so much less stress on the wedding day than I thought I would, all because of the help they gave with these details and many more. I didn’t have to be worrying about things running perfectly smoothly, because they took care of it! Like we said, we can’t say enough good things about Allory and Jess and Melhorn Manor. The way our process went with them, from beginning to end, was wonderful! Reviewed on 14-09-2019

I can't say enough good things about this place!! The venue is gorgeous and the owners are constantly working tirelessly to update the space and make it more attractive to couples. It is amazing seeing their renovations and how beautiful the venue turns out after each update. The owners are an amazing couple that really take pride in their work and are very good to their customers. They are always happy to answer any questions and assist in any way possible. It has been a pleasure to get to know them and see the amazing space. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants an outdoor wedding but also likes having the security blanket of an indoor space should weather occur day of the ceremony! Reviewed on 31-07-2019
Gabriella Suglia(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-06-2019 I cannot put into words how incredible our wedding was because of Melhorn Manor. From the very first tour to the end of the wedding night Jess and Allory were there to answer questions, offer support, guidance, and suggestions and were just overall more than we could have ever asked for. The only thing I'm upset about is that we don't get to work with them or discuss our big day anymore - but I will be sure to suggest this venue to anyone I possibly can. There's no better wedding or event venue in PA. Thank you, Jess and Allory, for making my wedding more magical than I ever could have imagined. I can't recommend this venue enough.

Emily Thornton(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-07-2020 This venue is wonderful- as are Jessica and Allory! My fiancé and I are planning our wedding from across the country and they have worked to accommodate all of our requests. Not only did they accommodate a FaceTime tour with myself, but they they also enthusiastically scheduled a time for my mom to come take an in-person tour after my FaceTime tour. The barn is absolutely gorgeous and an amazing spot to host a wedding. There are many unique touches throughout the barn that make this place truly special. Jessica and Allory genuinely want to help you have the wedding of your dreams and they work very hard to make it happen. They seem to have thought of everything and really helped to put my mind at ease as an out-of-state bride. I highly recommend Melhorn Manor for your wedding venue! Reviewed on 09-04-2019
Danielle Hummer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-06-2018 We couldn’t have been happier with Melhorn Manor! We were in a tough spot after another venue fell through, and when we met Allory and Jessica and toured the property everything felt so right. From start to finish, the Melhorn’s were fantastic to work with. The venue is beautiful, no expense has been spared, the parking is fantastic, the property is overall impeccable. It was important for us to work with a venue who cared. We didn’t want to be just another couple that the venue books to fill the weekend. We never felt like that! We developed a great working relationship and they aided us tremendously in making our day perfect. We knew that they would be there if anything went wrong, which it didn’t! They were willing to let us customize the spaces within reason, giving it a personal feeling. Too many other venues told us the space is what it is. Definitely not the case here. Love love love and highly recommend these passionate owners and their beautiful venue. Reviewed on 06-01-2019
Karyn Noll(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-07-2018 I cannot imagine working with a better wedding venue. Melhorn provided everything we could think of, from the back drop for our ceremony to lawn games to a fire pit to access to multiple barns. They were absolutely responsive, kind, and felt like friends through the whole wedding planning process. We asked for a few things (like to bring in a dessert truck) and they were really flexible. We cannot more highly recommend them to any couples getting married in the Lancaster area! Reviewed on 29-10-2018
