“My experience for having our wedding at The Highgate Manor was absolutely amazing! The owners and their staff are so kind and caring! They were so easy to work with and made it very easy for my husband and I to say yes to this venue! Any questions we had they were open to answer all of them! They made it so easy to see my vision of my wedding come true! I have lived near The Manor my whole life and seen it go through many owners throughout the years, and I’ve always wished that someone would turn this beautiful piece of history into something that our town would be proud of, and the owners did just that! They transformed the Manor into what it is now, and words can’t even explain all the hard work and dedication they have for this beautiful piece of history in a small town just to keep it alive, I applaud them! And I want to thank them for making my dream wedding come true!”
