W.K. Kellogg Manor House

d so many compliments on this venue, and people asking, "How did you find this gem?" Having lodging right on site was so nice; it felt like a true getaway. The staff were great to work with - very helpful and responsive to our requests and questions as we were planning the wedding. The day before and day of, Danae was so helpful making sure everything was just perfect - it took a lot of stress off my shoulders to know that someone was making sure everything was going smoothly. The rehearsal dinner in the manor was lovely - great food and a beautiful setup with flowers on the tables. We received a card in the mail after the wedding from Danae and the KBS staff saying "congrats" to me and my husband and saying thank you for choosing their venue. This is a great example of their attention to detail and warmth/friendliness. Thank you! Highly recommend.

We almost wished for a thunderstorm, because the backup plan sounded like so much fun!)Nicole is a true resource. From going over the fine details, financials, vendors, local recommendations, lodging, to fluffing my train the moment before walking down the aisle, she was prepared, calm, honest, and beyond helpful. The food was impeccable and delicious. We opted for a buffet setup in the dining room, and our guests ADORED it. This historical site is so charming and classy, I barely spent $$ on decorations. With the dance floor on the patio, it allowed the dancers to DANCE while the conversationalists have cozy chats outside or in the living room nearby. They made it so easy to get married and enjoy our day! Magic. Pure magic! I couldn't have dreamed a more perfect day.

e some confusion with specific meals related to allergies when dinner was served but other than that the night went off pretty perfect.

lakeside ceremony site, beautiful gardens, and a historic manor house that is stately without being stuffy. It was truly the most beautiful day I could have imagined. I also can't say enough about the staff. When they say they do the coordination for you, they mean it! I was shocked, considering they didn't charge any extra. I brought in all of my decor the night before along with tons of notes and pictures showing where everything should go, and Dana organized everything and made sure it was right where I wanted it the next day. This turned out to be the biggest benefit of The Kellogg Manor. It took the pressure off my family so they could enjoy the day without having to worry about setup, and I could relax knowing that it was all handled. Dana even brought plates of appetizers up to the dressing rooms while we were preparing for our grand entrances! The staff also treated everyone with warmth and kindness. I felt like they were excited for our special day, which made me feel at home and happy to be treating my friends and family to an event there. Nicole and Dana were always quick to respond to emails, and coordinated with the chef to make sure every question and concern was attended to. The food was very good, although I do wish they had saved the leftovers for us (I was definitely hungry again by the end of the night!) I also feel great recommending the Kellogg Manor knowing that it is a historic site that has a lot of involvement in the community. In addition to the educational events they offer, I also love that I can go back to visit for various special brunches, teas, and a Christmas craft shop. All in all, I am so happy to have made the Kellogg Manor such an important part of my life.

he house and lake were a beautiful back drop for our wedding.

to get married, but with the Kellogg Manor House, we had a great feeling and experience from the start. We met with Nicole Kokx and her assistant showed us around the property and every person we met was friendly and excited about weddings. We booked that day and it was very reasonable deposit and site rental fee. Very easy to work with and the day of our wedding they did everything in their power to make it run smooth and be a perfect day. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful site for our ceremony, getting married outside by the lake was perfect. They also had a backup plan for us if it ended up raining that day. Lucky for us, it was a gorgeous day and we didn't have to worry about it. I would highly recommend them for a ceremony site. We didn't use them for our reception, but I think it would be an excellent place for that as well. If you are looking for a fairy tale setting, this is your place.

ur ceremony. Our reception was in the manor house and out on the patio. Their garden and grounds make it unnecessary to bring a lot of your own flowers. I still have people remarking to me how pretty the setting was and how great the food was. The chef took all of our suggestions in stride and gave us a fabulous menu. Can't recommend them enough!

f the carriage house apartment! On the day of my wedding I truly felt like royalty!!! Nicole and all of the attendants we so very accomodating and Nicole has a beautifully energetic yet laid back personality which made me feel at ease through the entire wedding planning process! She knows her stuff!!! I was so impressed when she was telling me of several ways to keep costs down and short cuts to make it easier on myself and my soon to be (now) husband :) On the day of my wedding the wrong song began to play as my bridesmaids were starting to walk down the steps towards the lake. I looked over at Nicole with a panicked expression I'm sure and she without a pause waved and snapped her hand signaling the D.J. to stop at once! He went back to the previous song (which was the right song) and the processional continued. Had it not been for Nicole's quick reaction, I probably would've been in tears! I also like how she was at the reception if I needed her but wasn't right there watching every little thing; she gave us our space which I appreciated :) It was amazing....every little detail! I can't thank Nicole or the Manor House staff enough for making our day so very special! If I can to do it all over again....I wouldn't change a thing!!!

TLY what I wanted for our wedding. From the minute I went to visit the property, I knew it would be the most beautiful place for an outdoor ceremony and reception. Nicole was our wedding coordinator there and she was very helpful from the start. There are multiple options on their property for ceremony and reception sites and it really felt like it was customized for our needs. Kellogg Manor did the food for our cocktail hour of the reception and I got rave reviews on this as well from our guests. They loved being able to tour the house during the cocktail hour and learn about its history. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a wedding venue!
