The Hudson Manor

sted the veranda. It was perfect! Plenty of outdoor space and the set up was classy with the natural effect we sought. Everyone complimented this choice of venue. Melissa went above and beyond as she patiently helped me through some anxiety at the beginning of our event in a way no one even knew. Thank you again Melissa for a spectacular event! Your knowledge, patience, advice and choices offered are outstanding!

food and especially the versatility of the site. Regardless of what Mother Nature was going to through at us, we were going to be covered (literally) at the Hudson Manor. Melissa was prepared to run with the ball and give us a wonderful ceremony and reception. However, our Chaplain and I wanted a specific format for the wedding itself and Melissa stepped back and let us do exactly what we wanted. For the reception, we were thrilled to let Melissa coordinate it all. She knew what things we wanted to do and executed it flawlessly! My husband and I were thrilled that she gave us exactly what we wanted and it went as smooth as silk. I cannot recommend Melissa, her talented chef (her hubby) and her extraordinary staff, highly enough. Thank you Melissa and Hudson Manor!

day to go smoothly and were there for advice along the way. The venue is absolutely beautiful and had everything we wanted for a southern elegant wedding. I can't imagine having our day go any other way or use any other venue. Professional, helpful, knowledgeable and organized!

year out and Melissa helped me the whole way through. It was the most amazing experience that I will never forget.

ssa our day was perfect! Start to finish Melissa is there every step of the way to help with everything. The all inclusive package is the way to go! My dream day was perfect!

From the first time my now husband and I toured it and sat down with Melissa, we knew that is where we wanted to get married! The grounds are beautiful, the house is spectacular, and the area is quaint and quiet. Within the week of booking, Melissa had already locked down our photographer (Chris Nieto) and DJ (Taylormade DJ service), whom she highly recommended and we were not disappointed with either! Throughout the whole planning time frame she would check in and keep us on track with what needed to be done and when. She took the guesswork out of it, which was such a relief, as it can be stressful when working full-time and taking care of a farm. Planning a wedding during Covid also threw some unknowns in the mix, but Melissa was always the first to reassure us that it would still be the best day of our lives and it truly was. On wedding day the nerves kick in and you just want everything to go smooth, and be perfect and it absolutely was. Melissa walked us through every aspect of our day and it went off without a hitch. I COULD NOT have wanted it to go any other way. We had multiple friends and family tell us this was the best wedding they had ever been to. Melissa's husband is the chef and the food was to die for. She was genuinely happy for us and thinking back on the day, it was absolutely the best day of our lives! I 10 out of 10 recommend Hudson Manor for your big day!!

given the circumstances. We truly could not have asked for a better experience, and we are so grateful! The wedding was so beautiful, and they were careful to follow mandates without making us feel like we were in the twilight zone - a lot of care and thought behind every decision. We highly recommend this venue for its beauty, value, and truly excellent service.

or us was a big plus. The venue has a ceremony location (a beautiful white chapel with a pretty red door), a reception area, a getting ready area, and a patio. It can accommodate outdoor weddings in summertime. We were married in November, so we didn't end up seeing that. We LOVED having an option that had a chapel and reception on one property. There were paved paths in between and an easy parking area. We wanted to do a Star Wars wedding, and she was totally willing to work with us on that front. She sent decoration suggestions and helped offer the decor they had. We had a few out there suggestions too, and she was really willing to work with us without making us feel strange about it! The chapel was gorgeous, and we were easily able to seat our 65ish guests. It was cold, but the patio had warmers and seats for people who wanted to hang out after dinner to get away from the noise. The food and service was excellent. They were very on top of clearing, passing hors d'oeuvres, getting drinks, etc. Day-of, she was responsible for taking care of us, the couple. We felt very significant because of the attentiveness of her and her staff. For dinner, we had roast beef and herb chicken with sweet potatoes, Yukon potatoes, green beans, and salad. The menu variety was wonderful and she was willing to offer us suggestions about how to tweak it. The venue also had a tasting event, which we were able to attend on Valentine's Day ahead of time so we could get a feel for what the food might be like. It was all excellent. The apps were great too. We especially liked the bacon-wrapped filet bites and spring rolls during the cocktail hours. What a variety we had to choose from! Also of note, on the menu items we had to meet some kind of minimum for the package we were offered. However, our guest count kept changing (we are military) and she was very flexible with changing up our food options to help us meet minimums without being pushy or making us buy an excess of food. She even mentioned once not wanting us to buy things just to meet some price point. That was really awesome. Additionally, she was willing to work with all of our other vendors to take that stress off our plates. She did offer preferred vendor options, but was not only cool with but also willing to work with other vendors from other places outside her preferred list. We did find a few vendors on our own, but once we secured them Melissa really worked with them, which made it much less stressful than it would have been otherwise. The venue is a little out of the way, but because of that it is beautiful countryside views all the way around, even in wintertime. Highlights for us: chapel/reception in one place, willing to be flexible with vendors, great variety of food options/choices (we both got something we loved), ease of process throughout -- she was willing to take as much or little as we wanted. Couldn't recommend more! If we have friends in the area, I will totally suggest sending them out this way!

ll have a gorgeous ceremony. Food and reception area are great- highly recommend!!! Their help w/ coordination and planning is a huge benefit!

ception were all on the property, it made everything simpler for everyone! Melissa is great and super helpful! Definitely book here!

ffer. Not only were we able to get dressed in the 100-year-old home, there is a chapel and reception hall right on site, which provided my guests with the ability to transition from one to the other after the ceremony. This was especially important for our elderly family members who have a hard time moving around. Melissa, the owner of The Hudson Manor also doubled as the coordinator for the day. She provided me with vendors from a preferred list while approving some of my own choosing as well. She is on top of her game and was extremely helpful in assisting me organize the ‘day of’ timeline. She coordinated with each vendor and kept my mom (a.k.a POC) up to date, which was key to making sure the day went smoothly. We simply cannot say enough about Melissa or The Hudson Manor. It is definitely worth the trip out to Louisburg.

use is absolutely beautiful and there are several different areas available to hold the ceremony. They have an onsite chapel that can be used as a rain plan instead of a hideous white tent. The food is taken care of by Melissa's Husband and man was it good! Melissa is more than just the venue owner. She was basically my wedding planner! She handled all the contracts, deposits and details. We simply told her which vendors we wanted to use and she handled everything! She is easy to get in touch with and very prompt with emails. She ran our rehearsal and made sure the wedding day ran smoothly and on time. She definitely looks out for the bride and groom and the vendors she has on her preferred vendor list are some of the best. If you're looking for a stress free wedding experience, then look no further. Hudson Manor is your venue!

rything needed day of.

rything like a well oiled machine. We all felt like we could really just relax and enjoy the day. Her staff was kind & helpful and made sure my husband and I got plenty to eat and got to enjoy our cake. My mother and I wanted a lot of little details and Melissa allowed us to come into the venue and make sure everything was set up how we wanted it. The grounds were lovely even though a few days leading up to the wedding we had several bad storms. I recommend this venue for someone who wants an easy wedding planning process all in one very pretty location!

ed off the most amazing day of our lives without this jaw dropping venue and the professional attitude and creativity of the owner, Melissa Cogliati. She had so many ideas that we didn't even think to think of, but all of our guests noticed and enjoyed. We received personal comments from each of our guests about how it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been too. This was all thanks to Melissa. She captured my vision, and took care of the details. As the bride, your nerves can already be everywhere, but she calmed me down each time. When I arrived to the venue on the day of, my heart was overflowing with how she captured everything I had ever hoped and dreamed of and more. My bridesmaids and family thoroughly enjoyed the bridal suite (7 bridesmaids and 4 honorary bridesmaids, mothers and grandmothers) and the groomsmen enjoyed their manly den ( about 20 guys in their total). Our photographer was able to capture the most stunning pics due to the landscape and beauty of all the surrounding elements. All of our 200+ guests were fed and content. Many had comments about how wonderful the food was (And it was delicious). Melissa made sure my husband and I ate and got to enjoy each detail of that day. We all had a wonderful time. Melissa made sure all the guests were kept hydrated before the ceremony and that everyone knew where to go. Its hard to keep things organized with such a crowd, but she did a superb job and the wedding went on without a hitch. I thoroughly recommend this venue to any and every bride. It comes with everything you desire: A bridal/groom suite, a beautiful plantation house, a reception hall, a beautiful terrace, a garden ceremony site, a view of a lake, a chapel, I mean everything! Because of the Hudson Manor, our wedding was a dream come true! Thank you Melissa!

issa runs a tight ship and we appreciated that. The wedding day ran very smoothly. The DJ was wonderful. Her staff was very polite and professional. The compliments on how lovely everything was poured in. We were very pleased as was our daughter and son in law. We would highly recommend this venue. Lovely setting!

mily and friends to enjoy.

and make it her special day. The grounds were beautiful and spacious. Plantation setting, with a view of a lake and pasture in the garden area. We choose an outdoor wedding, but were comforted in the fact that we could also use the chapel located on the grounds if needed. The food was excellent and was prepared by a chef on site. The staff was very courteous and very attentive to our needs. Our director, Melissa Cogliati kept us informed of each step of the process as needed. I would highly recommend The Hudson Manor for any bride who is choosing a wedding venue. We are certainly happy we did!

ndly and the owner and her husband were very organized. Great place for people to have a wedding!

ommend Hudson Manor to anyone wishing a gorgeous venue and stress free wedding!!

or the bride to do! I know Melissa works with many couples, but throughout the planning process, she always made my husband and I feel like we were the only couple she was working with. The guests were impressed with how pretty and well put together my wedding was--this would have been possible without The Hudson Manor. My husband and I highly recommend--you won't be sorry!

we knew we had made the right choice. She accommodated us to be able to tour Hudson Manor early in the morning while she was setting up for a wedding later that day. When looking for venues as the mother of the bride my one request was a place with a true back up plan for Mother Nature. Hudson Manor has 3 options, 2 outdoors and 1 full indoor chapel. Luckily Mother Nature cooperated for us and we were able to have it outside in the garden. Melissa is so organized and stayed in touch with us over the year and half of planning. She suggested several vendors for us and used several of her suggestions and we so glad we did. Everything on the day of the wedding was amazing. Melissa was always available throughout the day to ensure everything was perfect for my daughter. The food was excellent, we received many compliments from our guests. The wait staff were very professional and friendly. I can't thank Melissa enough for giving my daughter the wedding she imagined. I would recommend this venue to anyone that is looking for the "ideal" place to say "I do". Thank you just doesn't seem enough to say to everyone at Hudson Manor. You far exceeded our expectations!!!

vent for Zach and Ruth, one of the most amazing venues I've seen. The food was excellent, flowers were gorgeous and DJ was awesome. The wait staff we very professional, in all just a great place to have a wedding or any type of celebration. As mother of the groom, I want to thank Melissa and the staff at Hudson Manor for making this very special day for Zach and Ruth one that they will never forget, nor will I. I would recommend this venue to anyone that is looking for that "special' place to say their vowels. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.

ing from a military family I know exactly how tough that can be. And Melissa the owner was outstanding her recommendations were beyond amazing and the wedding went off without a hitch. I absolutely recommend having a wedding here there are so many options and Melissa is more than happy to work with you on making your dream wedding come true

ly accommodating due to the circumstances! Melissa is absolutely amazing to work with!

onal. The food was great and the staff were very good. They also provided you with very nice choices for food. Everything looked beautiful and done exactly to our specifications. Melissa did an excellent job at running the wedding, and it all went incredibly well! She thinks of everything and is right there with you every step of the way. Planning the wedding there was so easy and convenient, which was really important to us. The cost of our wedding was also very reasonable given everything you get and the amount of food that was available (versus other venues that we considered). The vendors, photographer, DJ, etc., that Melissa recommended and that she works with on a regular basis were great and a pleasure to work with as well. The Hudson Manor is a fantastic place to have an outdoor ceremony, and the Cogliati's keep it so beautiful and well maintained.

has many years experience, is really friendly, and definitely knows what she is doing. They provide a list of EXCELLENT wedding vendors; everyone we met was amazing and we had a hard time choosing, so you can't go wrong. Once we saw the Hudson Manor, the deal was sealed and we booked the day of. The food was delicious, the views spectacular; and the night was amazing. The day of, they do everything they can to make the bride and groom feel special. Melissa and Glen really know how to host a fantastic wedding and if you are looking for a venue, Hudson Manor is a great place to have it.

om the DJ and flowers to the food selections and table linens. The night of the ceremony we didn't have to worry about a thing because Melissa was making sure everything ran smoothly. The venue is beautiful with 3 locations to pick from for your ceremony and an elegant and beautiful reception hall. The food was delicious, the staff was helpful, and the service we received from Melissa was phenomenal. The all-inclusive package is of much better value than a lot of other venues we looked at and was perfect for our 150 guests. You will have no regrets in choosing The Hudson Manor for your wedding venue!

. Melissa Cogliati allowed us to visit while a wedding was being set up for that afternoon. We were shown the bridal suite for dressing, the grooms dressing room, the garden and chapel for choice of ceremony options, the patios and reception hall. All were amazing. I loved that everything was at one establishment. At that moment there was no doubt this was where our daughter was getting married. Mr. Cogliati is the chef so no caterer to choose. They provide two tastings of food selections so the bride and groom can make up their mind for their special menu. In the package you chose the price. From a selection of great venders Melissa works with the bride and groom chose the wedding cake baker, a photographer, florist, linens, and a person to perform the ceremony. Also the DJ. You can choose someone not recommended. This past Saturday was our daughter's wedding day. I have never been more relaxed. Throughout the entire year Melissa answered all questions. At the rehearsal Friday she had the reception hall ready. Flowers arrived Saturday. Everything was perfect the day of the wedding. The ceremony was held in the garden. The guests couldn't say enough about how amazing it all was for our family. Future brides go to the Hudson Manor first. You'll never regret it. Mary S.

pecial day. The vendors that Melissa has to choose from are all very professional as well. The food was delicious and all my guests were thrilled how the day turned out as well as I!

verything organized through out the whole planning process and helped pick the best vendors in the area. The grounds of The Hudson Manor were very well kept and there was plenty of space for getting ready and taking pictures. Glenn did a fabulous job in the kitchen on the day of the event, the food was to die for and all our guests raved about the cuisine!

as working with. Everything was handled perfectly, and with class. Each recommendation from The Hudson Manor's preferred vendor list was top notch, so when Melissa mentions that a particular venor is good... believe her! Hats off to Melissa's husband Glen. He is an amazing chef! The food was SO good! All of our guest raved about how good the food was! If you're looking for a venue that has EVERYTHING packaged like the most beautiful gift you have ever received; then The Huson Manor Estates is you place! Thank you Melissa and Glen for everything! Sincerely, Tamara and Wesley Everman

o I as the Mother of the Bride was actually able to enjoy the entire event. Venue is beautiful, service is amazing. I highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding.

without a hitch. We booked at Hudson Manor more than a year before we got married and from the moment we told Melissa we wanted to get married there, she was WONDERFUL! She clearly knows what she is doing. She always made sure that our planning was on track. Via e-mails and phone calls she was very helpful and always happy to answer all questions, even if they weren’t venue related. The day of our wedding, she made sure everything happened on time. My husband and I did not have to worry about anything. She took charge of communicating with all the vendors so we didn’t have to worry about the details, set up, or arrival of anything to make sure our day was perfect. When the bridal party arrived, she made sure we had everything we needed. Our reception was perfect. While we had a buffet, she plated everything my husband and I wanted for dinner, including seconds if necessary. She kept us well hydrated and set everything up beautifully. We brought numerous things the day of our rehearsal that we needed her help setting up. We had seating cards, a centerpiece for the buffet table, crystals to jazz up the centerpieces, our champagne flutes, cake cutting/serving, etc. Not only did she make sure she knew exactly what our vision was, she made our vision become even better than we thought imaginable. Our wedding was perfect thanks to Melissa. We couldn’t recommend the Hudson Manor with more enthusiasm. Thank you so much for making our day perfect in every way!!

o use the indoor and outdoor scenery of this beautiful venue to the max. Melissa, Glen and the entire Hudson Manor staff took such good care of us. As the MOB, the most thoughtful thing I recall was during the post-ceremony photo session of the bridal party and family during the cocktail hour, drinks and hors d'oeuvres were brought to us! No detail was overlooked by this attentive and professional team. It is true that the little things count, and they don't miss the little as well as big things....Truly the best!

. She took care of everything the day of the wedding, which made our day so much more enjoyable. The prices are incredibly reasonable, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and it truly is the perfect, all-inclusive package! With several different locations for ceremonies (including an on-site, BEAUTIFUL chapel) I can honestly say that anyone's wedding will be absolutely stunning no matter what! The food was delicious, the service was phenomenal, everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful -- all of our guests had a wonderful time, and we couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!

manor we were astounded. The owner/operator (Melissa Cogliati) is a shining beacon of quality and professionalism in an industry that can be overwhelming for soon-to-be-newlyweds. The Estate is maintained wonderfully, the grounds are meticulously groomed and the reception hall is charmingly beautiful. She has a phenomenal preferred vendor list and her on-site staff are wonderful. Melissa acts as the "day-of-coordinator" and is amazing at organizing everything! This lady truly knows her business and we cannot thank her and her staff enough!!

gance which is exactly what I wanted. I really loved the fact that everything was right there on site (great reception hall!) and that there were several options for the ceremony, including a chapel, in the event of inclement weather. Thankfully we had a perfect day and were able to have the ceremony outside in the garden. Melissa Cogliatti, the owner, was absolutely fantastic. She coordinated everything for our day (I did not have a separate wedding planner) and I felt confident throughout the entire planning process that things would go smoothly, which they did. From the lovely fruit and cheese platter that was provided for us while we were getting dressed to the reception buffet (which included prime rib) the food was absolutely outstanding. The whole experience was wonderful and just what we had hoped for. Cannot say enough positive things about it. Would definitely recommend this venue to any bride. Thank you Melissa!!

mmended vendors. Her recommendations accommodated everything we wanted! All my guests commented on how beautiful the wedding was and how they had such a great time. I honestly did not know how it would turn out, seeing that I had only been out once before the wedding and I must say it was exactly how I envisioned it! I am so grateful for all of Melissa's help, she really knows how to put a wedding together.

ty to get ready in that were beautiful. My wedding was outside and was surrounded by incredible scenery and my beautiful family and friends. When we entered the ballroom, I couldn't even beleive how gorgeous it was. The colors and decorations were spot on to what I wished for and everything was decorated and perfect. The room was lit with candles and dimmed chandeliers which gave the entire ballroom an elegant feel. Our dinner was fresh, hot, and incredibly delicious. Mellissa took care of everything from the beginning and not once did I need to ask for anything. She made me feel comfortable and confident and I never had to worry once on my special day. All of my guests were blown away and I received continuous compliments the entire night about the venue. It was absolutely amazing there nd I couldn't ask for a better, more beautiful wedding day then the one I had at The Hudson Manor.

edding. Melissa took care of all my needs from start to finish. She organized everything and went over the top to make sure my day went as smooth as possible.Unfortunately, the weather did not permit the outdoor wedding that I initially planned for, but luckily the hudson manor had a beautiful chapel on site that we were able to move the ceremony into prior to guests arriving. The chapel was gorgeous and it accomidated everyone perfectly, not to mention kept us dry! The venue had a large outside area for my guests to enjoy as well as a gorgeous ballroom that was lit with grogeous candles and was everything I hoped for. Our dinner was prepared fresh and in house by the chef, and my goodness was it delicious! I had not a single worry the entire day and was able to enjoy my wedding and the company of loved ones. My wedding day was truly a dream come true and I can't think of a better place to celebrate. Two thumbs up from me! And a big thank you for all that was taken care of.

ch a pleasure to work with. She would always respond to my emails promptly no matter what time of the day. She is one awesome wedding planner and makes sure that every detail is covered. Never once was I stressed or worried throughout the planning process as Melissa kept everything on track. Our wedding day was just perfect from the pre-ceremony until the end of the reception. I couldn't have imagined anything better! The Hudson Manor staff had excellent service as well as all the vendors that we chose through Melissa. My guests are still raving about how beautiful Hudson Manor is and that it was the best wedding they've been to. I can definitely say that I had my dream wedding thanks to such an amazing venue. Wish that we could go back and do it all over again!

s wide of beautiful scenery - the best "prop" there is for photography. The ballroom was very airy and light and made for a relaxing happy atmosphere. The food was just as professional and comforting as the staff!!! I cannot thank Melissa Cogliati (the owner) enough for planning and perfecting the day I had stressed so hard over!!! Made me wonder why I ever had in the first place. Happy happy bride

and and I were so thrilled with the way the evening turned out, as were all of our friends and family. Everyone loved the food and the party area was turned into my dream for our reception. A big thanks to the staff for making our day amazing especially husband and wife owner duo Melissa & Glen. Michelle G
