We hosted our son's Bar Mitzvah with Summit Manor over the weekend, and I can't begin to tell you just how wonderful a night it was. David and his staff were incredible and worked hard to ensure a smooth, stress-free evening. Not a single detail was overlooked, and everything went off without a hitch. The beauty of the mansion, the simple decor and the amazing food were only a few of the many highlights. The weather was even beautiful enough to extend our celebration to the outdoor space, making it an enjoyable and very relaxing night for all guests. We also received many compliments from friends and family! What a beautiful and memorable way to celebrate such an amazing milestone. A huge thank you to David and his team!

My wife and I got married here in September 2023, and we were so happy with our venue choice! Summit Manor is beautiful, and it was crucial to us that we had rooms at the venue for getting ready rather than having to get ready somewhere else. We had the ceremony outside under the big oak tree with the provided arch, and it was an absolutely beautiful fall day. Our cocktail hour was outside, and for the rest of the reception our guests were able to wander in and out, mingling outside and dancing inside. The mansion vibes were excellent, with all of the dark wood, bookshelves, built in decor, and downstairs speakeasy. We barely had to bring any of our own decorations. David was so easy to work with, and made all of the planning very seamless. He was happy to accommodate our requests for a charcuterie table cocktail hour and breakfast for dinner. We got so many compliments on the food! The venue size was perfect for our guest count of 100. Highly recommend Summit Manor as a wedding venue.

Hosted a SendOff- Funearls Remiagned at Summit Manor and couldn't have been more pleased. This charming, beautiful, home-like mansion was perfect for a memorial service. The staff was excellent and Manager David McLaughlin were awesome!

My husband and I got married here in June 2023, and had a fantastic experience! We really had the perfect wedding. Multiple of our guests said our wedding was the best they had ever been to, and ALL of the credit for that goes to David, the site coordinator, who was incredibly helpful at every step of the process.Below are a couple of highlights from the day:The food was AMAZING! At our wedding, we had salmon and beef, and it was so tasty! All our guests were talking about how much they enjoyed the food. I know it can be difficult to prepare food for a large amount of people, but they really exceeded all my expectations!The staff at Summit Manor and all the preferred vendors (provided upon booking with Summit Manor) were really great. Very easy to work with, and they all seemed to be familiar with how events are run at Summit Manor. The whole day ran very smoothly, and went off without a single hitch!The venue is VERY beautiful and unique. It was really great that the entire venue was usable to our guests (the basement area speakeasy, the main floor, upstairs areas, and patio/outdoor areas).If you are getting married, or looking for a venue to host an event, I would HIGHLY recommend you check out Summit Manor!

We had our wedding at Summit Manor and it was the best party of my life. David made event planning a breeze and it was very comforting that they have an in-house chef that makes the food fresh to order (and not sitting in hot boxes all day). The food was phenomenal. In my ten years of wedding catering experience, I've never had a salmon cooked that perfectly. During the party, David helped keep us on track and was flexible to the guests' needs. We originally planned to have the Welcome/Blessing in the Manor, but since the weather was perfect and all the guests were outside enjoying the day, we moved it outside to not disrupt the flow of the event. From planning, to our getting ready in the morning, through the party, and at the end of the night when David helped my parents pack up our gifts, décor, and belongings -- it was fantastic. I would give this 10 out of 5 stars if I could. Highly recommend.

Great place for a wedding or fancy event! Great neighborhood, historic, and well maintained. Speakeasy in the basement.

We were very fortunate to attend a wedding at Summit Manor. This is an AMAZING place to have an event at. The home is gorgeous! There are rooms to change clothes in, (if needed), beautiful bathrooms, a library, a bar, and beautiful grounds. The food was the most amazing and flavorful fare I have ever had at a wedding or restaurant! It’s not your standard catered food. Its top notch. I just want more! From the garlic mashed potatoes to the wedding cake and everything in between was 5 star meal. David was a perfect host and we just can’t thank him and his wife enough for creating such a warm and stunning venue.

Amazing place! We had our 100-guest wedding here. It was absolutely perfect. The place is beautiful and the food top notch. Thanks David!

Overall experience was great. David was great during pre-wedding and getting things sorted. But during my wedding he was a little stand off ish, and i was just getting the vibe he was not excited at all to be there. If i had to get married there again. I would probably do it again still.
