From the reviews

We knew The Parlour was our venue almost immediately! We wanted a venue with personality, one that would accommodate a smaller guest list of 70-80, and had multiple on-site locations. The chapel is STUNNING, the courtyard is so versatile, and the airstream is just really cool.

★★★★★ — Jamie, Nov 2021

From start to finish our experience with the Parlour staff was exceptional. We were won over immediately with the unique grounds that really fit us as a couple- with it's rustic and vintage details and intimate draw. The Parlour's amazing service and staff were just the cherry on top to our entire experience.

★★★★★ — Kendall, Dec 2022

The Parlour at Manns Chapel was everything we hoped for in a wedding venue and then some. The team was so helpful and the space so beautiful, it made the whole wedding planning process as easy as it can be. We enjoyed our indoor ceremony and an intimate dinner outdoors with family and friends - it was a dream.

★★★★★ — Katie, Oct 2021

From the first time I visited the Parlour, I knew this was going to be our wedding venue. We fell in love with the historical chapel as well as the beautiful outdoor spaces. It was also important to us for the venue to be intimate since we were planning on having a smaller wedding.

Getting married at The Parlour at Manns Chapel

The Parlour at Manns Chapel comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to 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?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
