I would highly recommend Morris Estate for your wedding.

We absolutely loved the Morris Estate as our Venue! The Chapel is perfectly set up for a wedding. From the men’s and women’s dressing rooms in the basement to the size of the Chapel itself. It is perfect. Having the reception right next door is wonderful and makes things so much easier! The tent they use for the reception is so spacious that it feels like a building itself. The grounds provide absolutely gorgeous photos. We worked with our coordinator, and she was the kindest and most helpful person that we have ever worked with. Having a wedding during COVID provided its own challenges, and she worked diligently with us to ensure our day went as smoothly as it could go. We let the Morris Estate team have control of how to set up the reception area with a combination of Morris décor and our own décor, and they made it look incredible.

Our big day at The Morris Estate could not have been any better.

Our big day at The Morris Estate could not have been any better. Everything was absolutely awesome. The staff was very friendly and Adara, our planner, was amazing. We are getting so many compliments on everything, especially the food. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone!! The bed and breakfasts on site were great as well. Us along with our bridal party and parents stayed at each of these houses. Everyone was very comfortable and the staff working there was great.
