Having the Pine Knob Mansion as the wedding venue was absolutely beautiful. The staff are very accommodating, helpful, knowledgeable, and well rounded!

Lisa Hearley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 We had our ceremony and reception at Pine Knob Mansion. It is such a beautiful venue.

Krista Koch(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2022 The mansion is absolutely gorgeous for a fall wedding, but the staff/management there isn’t super accommodating. We booked the mansion for our wedding reception in 2020, but our wedding date wasn’t until Oct 2022. In-between that time frame, new management took over and that’s when we started having some issues. I highly suggest hiring a wedding coordinator/event planner for your reception, even though pine knob includes an “event manager” with your package. The event manager at pine knob does not guarantee that they will be able to help with any set up or take down and you only have 30 mins after your reception ends to clean up/pack up all of your belongings or else you get fined. It seems that they also are short staffed, as they can’t guarantee a beef carver to work the beef carving station if you choose that as one of your food options. We weren’t impressed at our food tasting, but the food on our wedding day was outstanding. We did the buffet option and a lot of our guests commented on how good the food was as well. All in all, it’s a beautiful venue, but it seems they could use some help. Reviewed on 30-10-2022
Katie Shamoun(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-10-2022 Our wedding 10/7 at the Carriage House was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Every single staff member we worked with from beginning to end was amazing. Brigette was very helpful in answering questions throughout the entire process. Curt was awesome and always friendly. He took my photographer, videographer, husband, and I on the golf cart to quickly get to some ideal photo locations by the garden/top of the mountain area. It was cold that day and he had a blanket ready for me which was so thoughtful. I forgot my bouquet at the top of the mountain and he made a special trip up to get it just in time for the bridal party entrance. Anne was with me on my wedding day and was so accommodating and made me feel way less nervous. She checked in on us all night, boxed our dinners, fluffed my dress before I walked down the aisle, and much more. It’s really the little things that make such a big difference in the grand scheme of things. Our guests raved about the food and how perfectly it was prepared and still hot when served. We would recommend Pine Knob to anyone getting married, you will not regret it! Reviewed on 24-10-2022
Amber Doyle(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-08-2022 The mansion is beautiful, and you will get amazing pictures both inside and outside. If you book it, definitely pay the extra for the bridal suite, I promise you will not regret it! Reviewed on 26-09-2022
Victoria Trimmer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-08-2022 We had such an amazing experience at Pine Knob Mansion. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, mostly because of this beautiful setting. The on site coordinator, Brigette, was so helpful and answered so many of my questions. She was always available and very organized. We did a plated dinner and the food was delicious and there was so much of it! The wait staff was also great. We had two bars and the bartenders were so officiant and did a great job. My out of town guests were in awe of how great the food and service was. I highly recommend! Reviewed on 22-08-2022

There were some initial personnel changes along the way, but everything the day of turned out wonderfully and Brigette was amazing, as well as the catering staff and bartenders. Everyone had a great time and even now, over a month later, is still complimenting the night. Everyone LOVED the food, even after our chicken was slightly changed, the venue was beautiful and everyone was very nice and accommodating, even after we had to delay for rain. Would definitely recommend! Reviewed on 18-08-2022
Kali Twork(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-07-2022 100% would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a one-stop shop. We had a lot of guests come in from out of town so it was important that we have our ceremony and reception in one place. With so many people traveling and making arrangements with us, it helped so much to have food & bar already crossed off out list with PK as well. The tasting was amazing and really helped us feel confident our guests would be satisfied. Our coordinator was amazing and incredibly easy to get a hold of. I never felt like I was asking annoying questions or asking for too much. The staff was so helpful the day of, we were really able to enjoy our day, and the staff even made sure my husband and I got a plate and made time to eat :) We chose the Carriage House and got so many lovely compliments from our guests which really confirmed for us that we made the right choice with Pine Knob.

Lisa Waldrop(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2022 If it were possible to give a venue more than 5 stars, I'd do it for Pine Knob! My daughter and her husband were married at the mansion on 5/28/22 and it was the most perfect place for them to exchange vows and begin their lives together.The natural beauty of the mansion is unparalleled. The mansion itself is exquisitely maintained and the grounds are impeccably groomed. The people with whom my daughter and her husband worked with were responsive and professional. The wait staff and bar tenders were professional and personable. The bridal suite is the PERFECT place for the bride and her party to get ready.The food was delicious! It arrived hot and tasted incredible. Our guests had a choice between a beef and chicken duet, a vegetarian meal, or a vegan meal and I heard nothing but rave reviews about all of it! There were about 125 guests at the wedding and the dining room accommodated them all with some room to spare.Pine Knob Mansion is an absolute jewel and I'm so glad our daughter's wedding was there!

Emma Ford(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-12-2021 I felt like I was stepping out of a fairy tale for our December wedding at the Pine Knob Mansion and reception at the carriage house! All of the holiday decorations were up including a massive wreath along the stained glass window in the carriage house that was the end of our aisle. Bridgette and Kurt were amazing and made sure all of our guests were properly directed and fed! The food was absolutely top notch, although from our tasting where we loved every single dish we knew it would be awesome. They even worked with us to buy cases of craft beers that my husband and I love to serve to guests! They are truly dedicated to making your day as perfect as they can, with Kurt even running out to shovel snow that had fallen that morning off of the patio for our wedding party to take photos. The only possible thing that could have been better was some of the communication with Pine Knob Staff about all the details of our wedding as we initially booked the venue before Bridgette started at Pine Knob, so there was some miscommunications at first. However, Bridgette and Kurt worked with us to make sure we had everything we wanted and more. Reviewed on 24-01-2022

Jessica Klinke(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-09-2020 While my wedding day was magical, I am disheartened by the way my husband, myself, and our family were treated by the wedding coordinator, Corinna, and the General Manager Kurt .Two months prior to my 9.19.2020 wedding Pine Knob contacted us regarding new packages they had created to accommodate Covid-19 restrictions. My husband and I decided to go with the ceremony only package and just have a small wedding ceremony. Pine Knob made changes as needed and was easy to work with. Then two weeks prior to my wedding, Pine knob contacted me stating that the wedding that would occur on 9.20.2020, the day after mine, had rented a tent that would need to go up the Thursday before our wedding and would be in the background as we said I do. They then retracted this statement to say the tent was actually a permanent structure for the rest of the 2020 wedding season which we would realize was a lie on our golf trip the following weekend. I know what you are thinking, a little dramatic over a tent. However, we tried to reason with them to delay the tent, offering extra money to put it up after our ceremony as we understood that they may be facing financial distress due to COVID. Pine know gave us three options:1. A full refund and to go elsewhere, which was not an option 2 weeks out.2. Be married in their Garden area which had no lighting and would be dangerous to walk down to in heels and a large ball gown.3. Drape the polls in the background with Garza. Note the polls were not the issue, the tent being visible in the background was the problem.As we had no choice we decided to continue on with the tent and we never uttered the words that we were considering canceling and I accepted that this was just another thing I had to deal with. Now this is what upset me most, the day of I requested that the doors be open an hour early for hair and makeup. Which was confirmed the night before with Corinna. When arriving the doors were locked and no one would answer phones. Fast forward to 1.5 hours before the ceremony, there are no Pine Knob staff to be found and when the GM finally showed up he began putting out lawn chairs, my mother then informed him we wanted Chivari chairs. He began yelling and pointing at her claiming that we had canceled and that he had been trying to reach us all week, a lie that we later confirmed with our phone records.When I confronted them the next day, they did not apologize for being rude to my mother they simply said they were sorry I was unhappy and began to try and blame everything on me and claim they also offered that I get married on the golf course, which they did not, I have the emails to prove it. They also claimed we did not provide a guest count and all the final details, which I have email proof we provided it the same day they asked. While I am happy for the couple who's wedding ran smoothly the day after ours, I am truly upset that the staff at Pine Knob felt they could not accommodate both couples and would treat us as if we were inferior and a bother to them.

Corrina and the rest of their team was so great at communicating with us and working out a plan post-Covid. The wedding planning process went very smoothly and our questions were always answered.

Katelyn Jacobson(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-06-2021 We were married at the Pine Knob Mansion. Overall, the experience was okay. The communication was sub-par in regards to planning the event and the woman we had communicated with in planning quit the week before our wedding. Kurt picked up the pieces and worked really hard to make some last minute changes due to rain. He was very kind and accommodating prior to the event and during the day of. The rain definitely threw a few things off. We still had a great time and people seemed to enjoy the food. Keep in mind you are only allotted half an hour for clean up time. My entire family was hustling in making sure everything was cleaned up and loaded into vehicles when another \"manager\" approached. He was extremely rude and unreasonable. Everyone was working very hard in getting things out of the building and he proceeded to constantly count down the minutes until we HAD to be out. He even locked my mom inside the building! It would have been a different story if we were standing around doing nothing, but everyone was hustling! Reviewed on 28-06-2021

Marissa Biggie(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-02-2021 I was supposed to get married at Pine Knob today, February 6th, 2021. We ended up postponing and moving our location because there were no dates available at Pine Knob that we wanted. I still felt obligated to leave a review because through all of this heartbreak and disappointment of postponing our wedding during the pandemic, Angie and Corinna were absolutely amazing. They kept my hopes high that we might be able to have our wedding on our original date, but they also were realistic and empathetic. I’ve heard so many horror stories about couples not getting their money back when they have to postpone or cancel their weddings, but Pine Knob mailed me a check reimbursing every cent we paid to them. The venue was so beautiful and well maintained and I knew that if we still had our wedding there, Angie and Corinna would help us execute the day perfectly. While it didn’t work out for our wedding, I can’t wait to host a different event there in the future! Reviewed on 06-02-2021
Amanda Rechsteiner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-08-2020 I could rave on and on ALL DAY about how amazing Pine Knob is for events!! From our first tour, my husband and I knew we needed to have our wedding at the Pine Knob Carriage House. It is in a convenient and BEAUTIFUL location and the staff is so knowledgable and responsive. The Gardens up by the Mansion for our pictures were also so perfect for our photos! Then we had our food tasting and WOW, it was hard to narrow down what we wanted for our big day because it was all amazing. Leading up to our wedding, Corinna was an absolute angel to work with and we made a great team. Whenever she was out of office, Angie was fantastic to talk to as well! Then our big day arrived. I cannot explain how wonderful the whole team was to work alongside for my big day and there was no one else I would have rather worked with. I cannot picture my wedding happening anywhere else with any one other than Corinna and her team! They made us feel so special the entire time and did not let some rain on and off get in the way. Corinna made sure everything stayed on track while also talking to me throughout the night. I am pretty laid back so Corinna helped me make decisions and made everything so perfect and flawless. I highly recommend Pine Knob Carriage House (and Mansion but I was at the Carriage House!). LONG STORY SHORT: Corinna (and Angie) and their whole team are fantastic, the scenery is gorgeous, they are very accommodating and knowledgeable, very responsive, the food is amazing, and they will always have my highest recommendation! :) Reviewed on 17-08-2020
Jessica Pulikonda(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-08-2020 Pine Knob was absolutely the best venue we could have imagined. We were not an easy couple. Between huge changes to the guest list and changing the date, Covid controlled us a lot more than we wished. Pine Knob (and Corinna especially) made our wedding perfect. They had a “no problem” attitude for any obstacle we overcame, offered us back up dates when we weren’t sure when our parents would be able to fly in from India, and let us change our minds about countless things. With all the stress of a pandemic wedding, the venue did not add to any of it at all. They were constantly supportive and flexible and I can’t recommend them enough.Day of, the venue was gorgeous!!! Rent the bridal suite, you will not want to miss it. Corinna was there the entire time helping us out and the day was so smooth and perfect. The food was AMAZING and there was a lot more of it than I thought there would be. My big recommendation is to bring your own chargers because they were great on the table. If you are thinking twice about this venue, absolutely go for it. For the wedding pictures alone, the venue is gorgeous. For the wedding day stress, they accommodate and plan out the day. Pine Knob Mansion is the perfect venue! Reviewed on 11-08-2020

Our new wedding date ended up still have multiple guidelines but they did everything that could to make it as easy and beautiful as possible. The entire reception had to be moved outside and it drizzled up until dinner. Their staff was wonderful at keeping things covered and wiping down chairs. We still had a wonderful wedding and the sun came out for dinner. The food was amazing, every guest raved about it. They were kind and reassuring during the whole process.

They allowed me to store all of my decorations in their offices the week before my wedding which was amazing. The only downside we had was that they require you to take everything with you the night of the wedding so we were flustered trying to make sure that we had everything when we left. One of my favorite and most appreciative thing that they did was box my husband and my's food up so that we could take it with us and eat once we got back to the hotel because we barely got to take one bite during the wedding!

From the ambiance of the venue to how perfectly the night flowed... I don't even know where to begin!The food was AMAZING, we got compliments all night long. If you want a hint, order the stuffed mushrooms as a side dish instead of a vegetable, your guests will not be disappointed! The staff and Corinna set everything up PERFECTLY, I literally could not have imagined things looking better than I invisioned.The photo opportunities all over the venue made an incredibly beautiful and timeless wedding album. BUT...The thing that stood out most importantly to me as the bride, was the day of coordinator, Corinna. That girl needs a raise because she is nothing short of amazing. My entire night was smooth and worry free because of her. She bustled my dress for me before I entered the reception, made last minute changes to the seating chart on a whim for me and she even fixed the flowers on my cake because I hated them. She alone, makes this venue worth booking. If I could do my wedding night all over again, I would forever choose this venue. You will not be disappointed. Reviewed on 26-09-2019
Sarah James(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-10-2020 The day of our tour, my fiance and I waited over 40 minutes past our tour time until we were finally shown around, while we had driven 2 hours to be there and were 15 minutes early. The person who was supposed to give us our tour was presumably not on the premises, and was unable to be reached by other staff members, which we felt was unprofessional. Finally, an additional wedding coordinator arrived to oversee the preparations for a wedding that day, tried to call the staff member we were supposed to see, and again was unable to reach them. That coordinator then told us that she'd take us for a tour after 20 minutes of sort of ignoring us which was awkward. This all had obviously rubbed us the wrong way. Additionally, the date we had in mind was not available, even though I had inquired numerous times about that specific date, so the experience seemed like a waste of our time. I hope our experience doesn't continue for other couples interested in Pine Knob, and the appropriate corrections can be made going forward. The venue itself is beautiful and historic, with many areas that would make for great photos. Because of this experience however, I would not recommend this venue. Reviewed on 17-09-2019

Our wedding was in the spring but we originally viewed the venue in the winter too and that's when we fell in love with it. There is no season at the Carriage House that is not beautiful. The food was AMAZING. Do not judge based on the food tasting. We did not love that part but the actual food at the wedding was so delicious. The communication is lacking a bit though. Although they do weddings there all the time, they know the timeline of weddings, but being a bride I would have wanted more communication leading up to the weeks before. Reviewed on 20-06-2019

Corrina was responsive and worked collaboratively with me to ensure all my visions became a reality. She checked in with me at the reception, and offered to bring us food and drink. She even noticed that my dress was not bustled and helped me out. This venue is truly a 4 season venue.

We would get told different things by different people, charged extra for things we were told originally would be included. The communication was definitely lacking. There was a tour of the facility with another couple, WHILE OUR REHEARSAL was happening. The seating was set up wrong, and we had to rework it the day before. We did like Kurt, he was very personable and understanding, very helpful the day of! The food was good, and accommodates food allergies. We did not feel like we were valued, like we were just another $ to them. Was a big cause of stress throughout the process for myself, and my now husband. Reviewed on 07-01-2019

The head chef took to time to talk with every bride and groom and express the menu isn't restricted to what they have listed in their pamphlets. In the end the food was delicious and I wish I would have had more of an appetite that night! Also, I didn’t think I would have much interaction with the bartenders, but they made me a special drink with my favorite liquor and it was great.

Benjamin Busuito(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-12-2015 Our daughters wedding was on 12/5/2015 and that was just 3 months ago. Many memories abound and many friends and family have talked about the wedding and the reception with such emotion and fondness that we could not begin to say enough about Pine Knob and its staff. As stressful as a wedding can be for the Bride & Groom as well as the parents from planning to execution, we can say with the greatest of sincerity that the Staff of Pine Knob made this day one that we will cherish for a lifetime in both pictures and memories. We cannot say enough about Kurt in his kindness, knowledge, attention to detail, flexibility, creativeness and most of all his personality and attitude in taking care of everything. He was a calm as anyone we have ever met and no request was overlooked and those that were a bit over the top (and we had a couple), he looked at us and said \"no problem\" and it in fact was no problem. Kurt was truly committed to making sure that our daughters wedding day was as special to himself as it was to us and he and his staff showed that desire in every way. We never hesitated to ask questions or share a concern (this was our first wedding) because he never made us feel uncomfortable or that we were pestering him. He was honest in his answers and what we appreciated most was that if he felt a direction we were going in may not be the best, he presented us with alternatives and the reasons why and we can say that in every instance, he helped us make the right decision. We had the ceremony at the Carriage House and the reception at the Mansion. As it was during the Christmas season, both venues were beautifully decorated both inside and out. The Carriage House was set beautifully and again, Kurt left no detail undone. One very touching memory is that Kurt was right there throughout the ceremony and while myself and my daughter awaited our walk down the isle, Kurt stood next to her, a small nervous tear in her eye and made her smile and relax with a refreshing story. There were tables set up with glasses of Champagne for an after ceremony drink, and some lite appetizers after our Horse and Carriage took the Bride & Groom to the Mansion and we needed to have friends and family take their time going up to the Mansion so as not to overwhelm the Valet staff (Kurt's idea) though he had plenty of staff taking care of business at the Mansion. The menu that we had selected with the help of Kurt and Micheal (head chef), was outstanding, right down to the strawberries on the rims of the champagne glasses that we must say Micheal took upon himself to track down fresh strawberries in the winter for us out of kindness and not necessity (and the Kurt's request). The food was far beyond our expectations as was the service by all of the serving staff. The meals were ALL served hot and the presentation on the plates was in a word \"artistic\" and without a doubt - a gourmet meal!! The bar staff were a delight and could not have been more cordial to our guests as well as ourselves. We opted for the 'premium bar' and it was outstanding and enjoyed by all.\r\rKurt told us at the beginning of this journey that he would be there throughout the entire process and he was, right down to packing up the vehicles at the end of the night. The entire event and all of the coordination went on without a single problem and we attribute that to the entire staff at Pine Knob and the phenominal direction of Kurt.\r\r5 stars are not enough!!!

I felt we got a great value here, and everyone couldn't stop talking about how great the food was. All the way up to the wedding day, Kurt was extremely helpful and did a lot of little things to make the day as special as possible. His wife was with me prepping my dress and veil before I walked down the aisle and grabbed me a glass of wine while I was greeting guests. Could not have asked for more, absolutely LOVED this place!

Lisa Lamport(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-09-2015 I LOVED my wedding at the Pine Knob Carriage house!! \r\rFirst let me say: I got engaged Oct 25th 2014 and booked w/ the Carriage House around Feb. The staff I was dealing with in the start fit the previous descriptions. In fact, I brushed it off even after my MIL was worried it wouldn’t be a good experience (they also knew of people who complained about the staff that handled the weddings). BUT DO NOT FEAR THINGS HAVE CHANGED!! : )\r\rMy father in law was very sick with cancer and ended up passing away a month and a half before our wedding day (which I should note: we had moved up 3 times with Pine Knob on account of his failing health and they were very nice about it). So wedding planning with the venue took a back seat for me pretty much until a few months before the wedding. When I called back I was thrilled to hear that there was a change in staff and was told Kurt took over and had over 20 years experience. When I talked to him he was SO nice, SO personable and SO relaxed. He went with any idea I had and even agreed to meet with my mother and I in person so she could go over details with him as well. We went over the whole menu with him, he even changed things up to personalize it to our liking, and made it SO EASY for me about all the food allergies and diets people had. I really cannot rave enough about how perfect and easy he made everything for me. \r\rThe day of went amazing! Kurt hung around and checked in on us and made sure the schedule was to my liking. He was totally relaxed, which made it SUPER easy for me to communicate with him when we were behind schedule (our hotel shuttle got lost on the way to the venue and set us back a solid 50 min the whole night...) He completely put me at ease and took care of everything. The staff was super friendly and the food was AMAZING. My dad who used to work in restaurant -management for a steakhouse and who RARELY is complimenting food told me it was the best prime rib he had ever eaten. All my veg, gluten free, dairy free friends said their meals were phenomenal. Every single person I have talked with since the wedding has complimented the beautiful venue AND food. I was so thrilled. I was 10000% recommend Pine Knob to anyone and I think you get above and beyond and amazing experience. \r\rAs a bride dealing with such tragic and difficult issues right before the wedding—I was on edge, I felt disorganized and incredibly stressed. The whole staff at Pine Knob (especially Kurt) made all the difference for me and completely took away any stressors the day of and leading up to it. I was able to enjoy my wedding and it was everything I ever dreamed of. \r Reviewed on 14-09-2015
Katy Suich(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-09-2015 Our wedding was perfect. From the first visit to the Mansion I knew this was the spot. Gorgeous. The sunset at dinner set the tone for the entire night! The dining room and ceremony site in the gardens was set up just as we asked. Everyone was so easy to work with and cooperative.

Emily Trousdale(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-05-2013 While the venue is beautiful, I would never consider Pine Knob based on the management's responses to comments. Talk about being combative, overly-defensive, and downright unprofessional. Here's some news for you, Pine Knob: when this many people have the same complaints about your staff, it's not them, it's you! Drop the attitude and work on improving yourselves instead of telling the brides how it's all their fault that their day was messed up. And get rid of whoever is doing your PR on this site, because they're just awful. Reviewed on 03-09-2015
Steffani Brubaker(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-05-2015 My husband and I were married in May at the Carriage House. The location was my dream venue and we could not wait for our wedding. Every single thing was perfect and wonderful, except for one person working the event. The food was fantastic, the venue is beautiful, everything had been set up to a T! The staff had been so helpful during the planning process. It was truly a dream, minus the bar manager.\r\rUpon arrival she immediately had an attitude with myself, my mom and my mother in law. It was raining outside and the original plan was to have cocktail hour in the covered area, she suggested that we move the cocktail hour inside, which we were open to, but the event was not set up inside yet. So we had our guests stay in the outside (100% covered) area for cocktail hour until the venue was set up. She told us we were not running it the way she would run it. I, personally, wasn't aware her opinion was of relevance, as it was not her wedding or her money. The rest of the night she was miserable. Slamming glasses around behind the bar, telling our guests (several who had only had 1-2 beers) that they needed to drink a water before they could receive another drink. All of our guests were over the age of 21 and we had provided a shuttle service to and from the venue. Many guests brought this to our attention so we (the bride and groom addressed it), the woman then said it was only 2 people she had told that, but was not able to show us who those individuals were, but decided to close the bar down (she had additional excuses like someone shoved her and someone called her a name). After a short while, a very nice girl who worked at the venue told us the bar was back open and all was okay, only for the grouch of a bar manager to come back in and insist the bar was closed and for the police to later show up. The police were visibly embarrassed that they were called to the event, as the bar manager played a 'he said she said' game that neither the police or we were interested in. Based on the way it was handled, I truly felt like we were having our wedding in a trailer park club house vs. Pine Knob. It was a HORRIBLE way to end our evening and totally changed our image of Pine Knob.\r\rIf you read the reviews, many, many, many people have had the same experience with the bar manager and Pine Knob replies with nothing but excuses for this individual. It is a real shame. The entire event was absolute perfection, minus the one woman who was clearly on a power trip. If someone asked me if I would suggest Pine Knob, I would say no. To pay that much money and be treated the way we were is absolutely unacceptable. Reviewed on 10-06-2015
Ellen Hudson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-05-2015 The day was PERFECT!! The staff at Pine Knob went above and beyond to make sure that everything was in place and taken care of. I felt like a movie star for the day! It was also great to have everything at one venue; a place to get ready, ceremony, and reception. The food was wonderful and everyone was full by the end of the day. They also were a one stop shop for ALL linens and tableware (stuff you shouldn't have to think too much about). It was also perfect for in case of rain... They had an indoor dance area that converted for the ceremony if needed. We had a tiny amount of rain, but not enough to stop us from dancing out on the patio!! Just wonderful!!! Reviewed on 29-05-2015
Dana Pierce(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-09-2014 First let me say that the staff at Pine Knob Mansion is AMAZING. They were always available to answer questions, and never made us feel like our questions were dumb or small. \r\rThe day was cold and rainy (Sept 12) and it was down to the wire as to whether or not we had the ceremony outside in the gorgeous garden gazebo or inside the fabulous ballroom. As the bride, it meant the world to me that I didn't have to discuss, worry about, or deal with any problems on the day of the wedding... Paige had it all covered. She gave us our cues, told us when to be where we needed. She directed the vendors and musicians, assisted the guests. \r\rThe reception was excellent. Several guests told me that the food was the best they'd ever had at a wedding. We also heard that the cocktail hour snacks were great, although we totally missed them getting photos. \r\rThe table set up makes for a little bit of congestion with guests being able to move around, but that was because we were filled to capacity. The decor of the great hall was so elegant that we didn't really need any decorations other than simple, tasteful centerpieces.\r\rPhoto opportunities at the Mansion and on the grounds were endless. Fountains, gazebos, ponds, gardens... even the foliage and grass and walkways were picturesque. Seriously.\r\rPhotos on the web DO NOT do this venue justice. You have to go see it. Everyone said it was the most elegant venue they had experienced. I felt like royalty. Reviewed on 15-10-2014

Alison (bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-08-2014 We had our wedding at the Carriage house- and it was Beautiful! \rThe day of the wedding- things were great (or so I thought)! Everything was set up perfectly, but The Carriage house staff was no help to anyone else- they were not open to answering questions or helping anyone else at all. My mother-in-law asked if anyone had something to help her open some boxes, and the response she received was simply \"No\". \rWe had paid for the head table to get champagne for the toasts/speeches.... and that was no where to be found (until after) so when the bridal party asked for a drink they were told to 'get it them selves'. One of my bridesmaids was actually told by a bartender to get back in line to get someone else from the bridal party a drink. Then proceeded to talk bad about the bridesmaid to the remaining guests at the bar! Totally unprofessional.\rPaige the wedding coordinator was no where to be found for a while- until I asked for the fifth time (there were two weddings that night) if she could come sort somethings out (champagne issue)... Once Paige arrived things got a little better. However, the bartender had an attitude the rest of the night- which should have been taken care of.\rIt is really sad how a BEAUTIFUL night can be ruined for some of my guests by someone having a bad day.\r \r**Quick update: A guest of mine reviewed my wedding at the Pine Knob carriage house on Yelp. The bartender that was at my wedding- the one that was having a bad day- private messaged her! Very inappropriate stuff in my opinion, basically harassing her! I will leave it up to you to look at the message Yelp! But i am very disappointed that stuff like that had to happen. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. \r Reviewed on 27-08-2014
Emily R(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-11-2013 I had my ceremony and reception at the Pine Knob Mansion.\r\rFirst, I will say that Lisa, the coordinator, has the patience of a saint. I must've emailed her hundreds of times and she answered every email and question promptly and completed, and probably the same questions more than once. \r\rMy bartenders and valets, although I do not recall their names, were awesome! They were all super friendly and great. \r\rPrice-wise, I am in the middle. My wedding was during the winter months, so we had discounted pricing, and I would say I definitely got my money's worth. I am not sure that I would feel the same had I paid summer pricing. It is a little steep. \r\rThe venue is gorgeous! \r\rI would recommend this venue to anyone with a small-mid size wedding (no more than 130). Reviewed on 14-11-2013
Lindsay Rytlewski(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-10-2013 We loved the venue when we first found it a year before our wedding. We immediately booked it, gave a deposit. The staff at Pine knob was helpful to a point. As soon as we paid our bill in full, we seemed to stop getting answers to our questions/emails. Our rehearsal dinner was outside only, we assumed we would be able to get in the venue the night of our rehearsal dinner, however we were locked out after hours.\r\rThe day of the wedding, the staff helping was very helpful and eager to make things run smooth. However, there weren't enough chairs set up for the ceremony and 5 minutes before it was supposed to begin, they had to put out 3-4 more rows of chairs.\r\rAnother complaint I have, and I knew this from the beginning when we signed with this venue, the room for the bride to get ready in is TINY. We learned the day of the wedding how poorly ventilated it is, it was so stinking hot in that room.\r\rOverall, the views are spectacular. The reception was beautiful. And even though I felt as if we didn't have good support after we paid in full (in cash), I would recommend it if you want an out doorsy feel in the middle of the city. Reviewed on 27-10-2013

Alicia Adolph(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2013 My husband and I got married at the carriage house. When I first saw it, I knew it was the place! I first saw it before I was engaged, picking up my nephew from a wedding at night. It was lit up with white lights, on the building and the windows, and I could see the people inside dancing and having fun! it was gorgeous from outside. Once I was engaged and toured the facilities, I saw both the Mansion and the Carriage House were beautiful. You don't need to dress the room with any extravagant decorations and lighting, its simple and elegant as is. The staff was helpful and friendly. Lisa especially. I must have emailed her 20 times the weeks beforehand, and she was always responsive and helpful. Our guests loved the venue, and commented on how pretty a place it was, and all we did was table linens and centerpieces. The food was great! and the drinks were well made. overall, it was a great night and I would definitely recommend Pine Knob to others! Reviewed on 01-10-2013
