I got married here in December and this place could not have been more perfect. The rustic feel is ideal for a winter wedding. Our photographer was having such a good time capturing all of the unique features. The food here is second to none, guests are still raving about it almost a month later, especially the hors d'oeuvres. The wine tasting cellar is a nice feature that you won't find at many other places. The staff was very helpful every step of the way.from planning to making sure everything went perfectly on our big day, we were in great hands. I highly recommend all couples check this place out for their wedding.and if you're going to be a guest at a wedding at Knowlton, you are in for a very great time!

Went to a funeral reception. The staff is outstanding, friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious! This was an overall excellent venue. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a venue to put this on the list of places to see!

This is a fantastic wedding venue! The team is fantastic and very helpful. We had our wedding ceremony and reception in September and we couldn't be any more pleased with how everything turned out. Would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a unique and beautiful venue.

This is a Beautiful place for Weddings and Events. It is Historic and I wish I could have had a tour of the place. The staff and the food were FANTASIC! One thing I though might detract from this place was the Ramp going down to the Ballroom. It seemed to be a trip zone for some of the intoxicated and seems to be a bit steep for a handicap ramp. Besides that one thing, this place was TOPS!

Love working here as a DJ. Both times we were treated like they would the guests unlike some other venues that treat DJ companies and vendors poorly.

Chris and the entire staff were friendly and accommodating. They have moved to the top of the list of venues I will personally recommend to my couples.

Fabulous venue with the old classic/classy atmosphere! The mansion itself feels like taking a long step back in time!

What a great venue. The catering is beyond first-rate. The building itself is charming and well maintained. The location is very convenient.

This was our DREAM day! Long story short, the Knowlton Mansion staff and venue completely saved our wedding!

We were originally booked with another venue (one which got a tremendously bad rep locally during Covid.) and we changed everything and were re-booked at Knowlton less than 90 days before the big day! Not only was Cara and the booking staff extraordinarily helpful, they were also incredibly sympathetic for us and everything we had gone through with our original venue. They showed true compassion to us for once! Cara ensured all booking information was sent to us quickly, and we were there touring within 24 hours. As soon as we got there, I felt like this tremendous weight had been lifted off of my chest. The venue is absolutely stunning, and they were beyond accommodating with us! We were treated like we mattered and like our wedding day was important, which was the exact opposite of how we felt prior at the original venue.

With so little time to go until our big day, the entire Knowlton team was incredible in assisting us to get everything organized, booked, and put together. We had a tasting so quickly so that we could FINALLY send out our invitations (which had been previously printed with the original venue, but not sent yet thank goodness). The food was BEYOND delicious! So much more upscale and exciting than the typical "wedding food" menu. They even helped create a custom deviled egg and a shrimp po boy slider for cocktail hour for us! The short rib was seriously to die for, both at the tasting and the wedding itself. So tender and flavorful! But seriously, you cannot go wrong with a single menu offering! Everything was phenomenal.

In the last weeks leading up to the day, Eileen took the reins and she was just as amazing as the rest of the staff. I felt completely stress free when it came to anything venue related, and 10000% confident that we were in good hands. We absolutely were!

The day of our wedding was perfection! We had gorgeous October weather, a team that took care of our every needs, and absolutely everything turned out exactly how I had hoped! Our guests raved about our menu options (I heard cocktail hour was incredible!), and everyone had time to eat and enjoy before dancing the night away in the gorgeous reception area. We also had the wine cellar service during cocktail hour, which was such a treat for us and our guests!

This wedding day was 3 years coming because of the pandemic, so to have everything go so incredibly smoothly at a place that truly cared about us meant the world! I cannot speak highly enough about Cara, Eileen, and the entire staff over at Knowlton! I will forever recommend this gorgeous venue to any and every bride/groom to be!

Nice place to have a graduation party or a wedding party, parking lot was a little dark, but nice.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Yes, we were here for a wedding reception. The stock photo doesn't do it justice. The whole estate if lovely.

I really thought this was a great wedding/reception area. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is all the stairs you have to go up and down on. I do not see how it could be navigated if someone was in a wheelchair or walker. The staff were great, food and alcohol choices were good too.

Absolutely beautiful! Went to a Bridal shower that was amazing. The food is probably the best I've had at any Shower I've been to. Loved the atmosphere!

Very nice venue. Doesn't hurt that it was an architectural workmanship of Frank Furness. But don't let that fool you, that's not the only thing here. Good food
