From the reviews
West Manor Estate was the first wedding venue my fiance and I visited, and we fell in love with it. We checked out a few other venues afterwards, but West Manor was "the one!" It is absolutely gorgeous, elegant, and exudes class.
As a wedding videographer and a 2023 bride, I HIGHLY recommend West Manor! They helped turn my dream wedding into a reality. It was the best night of our life and our friends and family had the best time. The staff were so professional and kept the entire place spotless.
My wife and I recently attended a wedding at this venue and we were impressed by how nice the event space was.
Our daughter got married here on August 26, 2017. The whole day was wonderful. Jamie, our wedding planner and Jake, the Estate Manager, had everything planned to the minute and had the Estate looking immaculate.
Getting married at West Manor Estate
West Manor Estate comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at West Manor Estate
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at West Manor Estate — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
