From our first inquiry, the team at Burke Manor Inn & Pavilion was a dream to work with. Lori was attentive to every detail and communicated our plans clearly throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Lori was there every step of the way, ensuring I had everything I needed to feel relaxed and enjoy the celebration. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful - the elegant garden and charming outdoor pavilion provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. And the meal prepared by Chef Lil was nothing short of perfection, just as we had imagined. We are so grateful to the entire Burke Manor team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
I held my son and his now wife’s reception here in Sept 2024. You will not find a better person to work with than Sandra. She has the best idea’s and will help make your event special and perfect. The Bonaparte castle is a must see to appreciate its beauty. Her way of putting ideas together with your own brings her event space to life. Not only are the renovating a castle but they have a great outdoor space including a fire pit. There is a small tavern that can be used for that very purpose. I am holding my own wedding and reception here next Oct and couldn’t be more excited to work with her again. Please enjoy my photos.

Working with Tony and Beth at Old Lystra Inn was an absolute dream from start to finish. After spending countless hours searching for the perfect venue, my husband and I knew immediately that this was the one the moment we pulled up the driveway. Tony greeted us with a late-evening tour that felt incredibly personal, not at all rushed—and it set the tone for everything that followed. The property itself is breathtaking. The grounds are impeccably maintained and filled with charm, and so much is included in the rental package—tent, dance floor, chairs, tables, and more—which made planning far less stressful. It was a huge relief not having to coordinate all those big logistics separately. Beth and Tony were a constant source of support leading up to the big day. Whether it was a quick stop by to walk the grounds, a late-night email, or one of our many questions (and there were a lot!), they always made time for us. We never felt like “just another couple” in a long wedding season. Instead, they made us feel like our day truly mattered—like we were getting married in a place that had heart and soul, not just beautiful scenery. On the day itself, Tony was everywhere—behind the scenes making things happen and helping everything flow effortlessly. We can’t overstate how much that meant to us. Thanks to his quiet dedication, we were able to be fully present and just enjoy the day. We are endlessly grateful to have had our wedding at Old Lystra Inn. It was the best day of our lives, and Tony and Beth played such a meaningful role in making that possible. We can’t wait for the day we get to return as guests and relive the magic from a different perspective. Highly, highly recommend!

They were ready to help with everything we needed and met all that we were looking for. Everyone invited was in love with the cottage and the venue space. I think the weekend package is an incredible deal and was absolutely worth it. The space itself was everything that I had dreamed of and it all came together so beautifully. Could not recommend Il Bella Gardens enough!
