Greencrest Manor for European Style and Tranquil Gardens
About the Greencrest Manor Wedding Venue
Greencrest property has a rich history, starting with a spark of love when George R. Burt and his wife Nellie Zinn vowed to build a home there. After Burt's passing, Nellie fulfilled their dream and completed the property in a French-Normandy style. It has changed hands over the years, and the current owners Jenn and Dave are dedicated to restoring and expanding the property. Pears, which have many cultural symbols such as abundance, longevity, and fertility, are a common sight and have been incorporated into the design, branding, and recipes.
Greencrest Manor has been creating perfect wedding days for couples for almost a century, and their Modern Day Collective team has over 40 years of experience combined. They understand that every couple wants their wedding to be unique and special, so they work closely with them to ensure that they get the exact wedding they envisioned. They are dedicated to making sure their clients are taken care of and that they get the perfect day that they have always dreamed of, and believe that working together is the best way to make it happen.
