Reviewed on The Knot

“My experience with planning my wedding ceremony and reception at the Kellogg House was fun and stress-free from start to finish. Jacqueline was always very helpful and quick to answer any questions my husband, and I had. The packages they offer are great and include many of the essentials. The site itself is gorgeous with lots of greenery and did not need the addition of many floral arrangements to make it shine. On the actual day of the wedding, the staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, always making sure my husband and I were okay and asking if we needed anything. I would highly recommend the Kellogg House to anyone looking for a beautiful outside venue for their ceremony and reception. We receive nonstop compliments from family and friends about how the venue was such a hidden gem and how delicious the food was.”
