Pine Knob Mansion

I am planning on selecting this venue and before I fully commit wanted to see if anyone had feedback. I am looking at 140 people in the Mansion in August....

    Pine Knob ended up being a wonderful choice for our venue. Our guests were thrilled with the ability to move about the mansion over the course of the reception and mingle with other guests without being drowned out by party music (as often happens in a banquet hall). The food was good and the bartenders were great. The service in the dining room was fantastic. Be prepared, however, that PKM does not like to do customization so what you see on the menus is more or less your only option.

    The only thing we were a bit disappointed with was the addition of the 20% service charge which is added to items like hors d'ouevres and the cake cutting fee (the cake cutting fee is to "cut the cake" while the service charge was to "serve the cake" was what we were told). We wish that we had been made aware of this charge when we were booking the venue.

    My FSIL had her wedding at the carriage house there and it was expensive as heck but it was still beautiful and worth every penny.

    Thank you guys for all the great comments! It helped make the decision very easy.

    If anyone has had a wedding there I would love some advice on food selections and apps! Oh yeah and I would love to look at your wedding pages if you have one!
