Testimonials

Arthur and Connie

 "Pulling up to the Lyman Estate the evening of our wedding, I remember thinking: 'It's like a fairy tale.' The estate was the perfect setting, the staff was professional and understanding of a nervous bride, and we and the guests were awed at the beauty and graciousness of the estate."


Sara

"In spite of pouring rain, a sense of comfort and joy prevailed and the bride and groom were toasted royally in the ballroom. As mother of the bride, I really felt that we were all in my own home, having a great celebration. Thank you all for the substantial behind-the-scenes work you do to make Lyman Estate both welcoming and thoroughly elegant."

 

Stephanie

"We feel so fortunate to have been able to have the wedding there. It was as if we were transported back to a kinder, more gracious time. Guests really enjoyed wandering the grounds and 'oohing and aahing' over the beautiful flowers. We were pretty clueless when we started planning this wedding, and needed lots of guidance from start to finish."

 

Roberta

 "Once we chose the Lyman Estate as the glorious setting for our wedding, and had access to the expert guidance and generous care of the Lyman staff, everything else fell into place seamlessly. Because we scheduled the wedding on a Thursday evening, we had our pick of vendors, and nearly every element of the wedding was much more affordable than it would have been on a weekend. We truly had the wedding of our dreams without feeling overextended. I kept waiting for the stress always associated with planning a wedding, but instead, it was a delightful experience that resulted in a magical, unique, and joyous celebration. A thousand thanks for all of your help and attentiveness!"
