My fiance and I were engaged August of 2023, and wanted to get married as soon as we could, but still have a wedding where we could host a wedding of about minimum 120 people.
We both love the outdoors, and after months of going to venues and looking at the value of the locations with the overall cost, Altamont Manor rose to the top of the list. Actually, it rose to the top after chatting with the owner. We felt very comfortable from the start. We sensed he was very open with us about how much things would cost and what was possible with the time we had to plan the wedding for April 2024. We quickly visited the location and after some deliberation, we chose the Altamont.
Reasons why we loved this location for our special day:
1. Professionalism and Guidance.
The owners KNOW what they are doing. I, like many brides, have not planned a wedding before or can't see the full picture amongst the chaos. Thankfully, included in the package is their wedding coordinating services. Harvey was who I worked with through the whole process. I could call him up at any point when I had a question and most of the time - if not all the time - he would pick up and answer my questions but also help me see other areas I needed to take note of. I am so thankful for his guidance!
They also were relatively flexible and made themselves available for meetings I facilitated with my DJ and other vendors to make sure the vendors were aware of what was needed for the space and to support them.
2. Beauty of the Grounds and Indoors
Also, the beauty of the view and the grounds (even though it was late April and a chilly one!), was perfect. Our day did happen on the chilliest day in April, but we were able to have our ceremony outside like we planned. Everyone braved the cold for 30 min ceremony, which I appreciated because the photos are STUNNING. You have a view of the garden and the lovely trees (even though they were just budding!) and the archway that comes with the garden is so lovely I didn't want to put up any sashes or extra flowers on it. I did not have to do anything to make the ceremony look the way I wanted it to except for renting the chairs from the manor for my guests.
The photos for my first look, bridal team, etc. also were great because, again, the garden and the house itself (even in the chilly spring) were so pretty.

Now, about the inside. In the front door you have the beautiful victorian crafted door and stairway and the bar after that - all cozy and grand at the same time. Elegant and perfect. In the reception area we have windows around on one side showing you the gorgeous view of the valley below. This is where we had a sweet heart table, which I highly recommend so you can see more of the view.

3. Vendors suggested
At first, I wasn't going to use suggested vendors since I had some in mind. However, when I was going through the logistics and short time frame, I really wanted a vendor who already had experience at the Altamont Manor. Harvey had a listing for me and I found one in my budget. The food was great, and my guests had a good time.

Thank you, Harvey and the Altamont Manor crew, for making our day so special and helping me shoulder the huge task of planning my wedding!

I cannot express how happy I am with my wedding at the Altamont Manor. The grounds and gardens are beautiful and the house is historic and regal. There are flowers of many different varieties around the property and a grand view. Just stunning!

The owner and operator of the venue, Harvey, is a kind and talented man who helped bring my wife's vision to life. He is also a skilled photographer who knows just the right angles and lighting for his property. He took some of our favorite pictures that day.

If you choose to have your event at the Altamont Manor, you will be in great hands. I gladly recommend this venue!

My husband and I had our wedding at the manor last weekend, and it was the perfect venue! The manor was everything we wanted in a venue: unique, historical, inviting, and beautiful. The gardens were the perfect backdrop for the ceremony, and the reception space was laid out nicely. Harvey, the owner, was a huge help with planning the wedding. I didn't expect him to be so hands-on, but he went above and beyond as a venue owner and day-of coordinator. He was very responsive to phone calls, and he had so much insight on vendors and general wedding planning. It was such a relief to have his guidance! In addition, he and Donna were our photographers, and they were absolute pros at coordinating everyone and getting some amazing photos throughout the wedding. Many of our guests were raving about how much fun they had at the wedding, as well as the manor itself and the service. We are so thankful!
