I had my wedding at the Knox including ceremony & reception. I also did their wedding coordination services. The staff at the Knox specifically Michelle Davis is who I primarily worked with was so professional, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful in many various areas. Michelle Davis was the coordinator and was amazing with keeping everything organized (amazingly) she also was so good at keeping on top of vendors specially the more difficult ones…. and was great at helping bring my vision of what I had for the day to come to life with keeping expectations realistic. The Knox is super well connected to other vendors in the industry specifically local ones so she was great in giving suggestions of people to use and had lots of experience which helped give ideas and to show different examples of how to do different things like first dance, ceremony layout, and reception layouts. The only the ONLY complaint I would be that they are only a venue … the do not provide anything besides the space. They do not include linens glassware cups, bar or bar staff, or catering. So if you have your event there you are basically paying for just the space … which was at least for me a bit difficult to get a different vendor for each aspect for the wedding. I will say tho the venue is gorgeous and beautiful venue for a small wedding definitely not a place for a bigger guest list .. I also recommend if you have your wedding there to pay the extra money for the coordination service it was worth EVERY PENNY. The Knox staff completed majority of set up and completed the takedown and organized everything for us so when we came the following day everything was taken down and packed up for us to pick up and take home. All in all I recommend the Knox if your have a small wedding and also keep in mind if your looking to do one and have a late night reception due to bylaws in Merrickville the bar has to be closed at 10:30pm on a weekend and music is off by 10:45pm. Just to keep in mind. All in all i enjoyed my experience with the Knox and made my wedding day amazing did not have to worry about 1 thing on the day all I had to do was focus on getting married Michelle handled everything on the day of and helped so much the 6 weeks leading up to the wedding making sure everything was on track and problem solved anything issues that arrived!

The Knox is the best venue. The old church is stunning, the grounds are mystical, and Michelle and her staff are lovely to work with! We cannot recommend them enough 🥰.

My mother, who was an artist, once told me, “ if a building looks beautiful empty, then it’s a beautiful building.” No one need look further than simply opening the front door to be WOWED by The Knox’s organic beauty.

Lay one rose in the middle of her open space ……and that would be décor enough.

Luckily the beauty does not stop with the building itself. This venue is cared for and shared with others by incredibly kind, helpful humans, 3 of whom my husband and I had the great pleasure of working with as we planned our fall wedding. ( Sam, Danielle, and Michelle )

Support was offered at every turn. Responses to our emails with questions/concerns came almost as quickly as they were sent.

Pricing was well within reason.

The quality of their rental products were top notch.

We were permitted endless opportunities to visit the venue, each time met by staff who appeared to have all the time in the world for us.

When we arrived to decorate our venue it was sparklingly clean …….even the chandeliers seem to twinkle brighter. And again, we were met by staff who opened tables, helped place candles, stood on step ladders, and gave tons of positive feedback to the nervous bride.

Our wedding was perfect ……from Sam standing in the rain holding an umbrella over my 85 year old father’s head as he accompanied me into “our church,” to the incredible acoustics as our musician sang to us our “vow song,” to the beautiful light pouring thru the magnificent cathedral windows into all our wedding photos.

As we headed home, to continue our day in our PJ’s my last glimpse of The Knox was Sam giving us a head start on the next day’s cleaning schedule.

This is THE VENUE…..plain and simple.

My husband and I fell in love with the Knox from the moment we laid eyes on the brochure. When we finally got to book a visit with Michelle the owner, we could barely contain our excitement. We walked into the space, my husband and I looked around then at each other, and he immediately said "honey, I had IDEAS". What was supposed to be a 30 minute consult ended up lasting well over an hour because Michelle and we just clicked and kept gushing about wedding planning details. Needless to say, we booked the place immediately.

And we're so glad we did.

At every step of the process the team at the Knox was behind us, answering question, proactively sending us info and ressources to check out, recommending vendors when I didn't know where to start looking, etc. I'd decided not to hire a wedding planner and to go at it all myself, and I can safely say our big day would not have been what it was without the guidance of the Knox's team. From our initial chats with Michelle, to our crunch-time review sessions with Sydney, to our day being expertly overseen by Danielle, everyone was stellar in their professionalism and helpfulness. Danielle in particular went above and beyond in her duties, going from venue coordinator to Day-Of coordinator and helping arrange last-minute rental swaps, a room flip, and vendor schedules.

I could keep going on and on and on about how great the Knox is, but, I guess you should just book them and experience that for yourself ;)

We were so so happy to work with Michelle, Sam & Danielle at The Knox for our special day! These ladies made our wedding a breeze. We cannot thank their team enough. These ladies were helpful, professional, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this venue and site to anyone.

We had the absolute best time, and I credit a lot of it to The Knox and their staff. From the moment we stepped inside it was love at first sight. Michelle was incredible in helping us navigate the wedding planning process from the day we selected The Knox. Sydney & Danielle were instrumental in ensuring we had a stress free day and were incredible with our guests and vendors! Couldn’t recommend the Knox more!!

The Knox, and Michelle were nothing short of amazing. The entire process right from the beginning was smooth, flexible, and accommodating. The space is absolutely stunning and the wedding of my dreams came to life here. From the rentals, the day before, the planning process, Michelle was always there to answer any questions, or changes I had and everything was at ease. I would recommend the Knox to anyone getting married.

The village of Merrickville is beautiful, this venue is beautiful and the soul of the woman who owns it is even more beautiful. Michelle went above and beyond for our day as I’m sure she does for every couple who has the pleasure of getting married at The Knox. The venue itself requires little to be added as it’s stunning in it’s own right & is the most picturesque spot for an intimate wedding with that small town feeling, but it’s really the people who make The Knox so special. Michelle wasn’t able to be there on our wedding day, but went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed (and more) before she went out of town. When I found out she wouldn’t be able to be there, I was a little disappointed because I was looking forward to having her positive energy, professionalism, and smiling face there for our big day, but Sydney filled those shoes very well. I can’t say enough about this incredible venue and about Michelle & her wonderful team.

When I saw the photos on line, I fell in love, and when we visited, we fell in love even more! This venue has all the historical charm with the perfect modern "blank slate" to allow anyone to create the day of their dreams. Merrickville is a beautiful town, with something for everyone to see and do. Everything was amazing, Michelle is so knowledgable and really makes you feel welcomed and taken care of. Her organization makes all the steps involved a breeze. I cannot reccommend to anyone looking for an intimate, effortless and romantic place to start their life together to see this venue.

beautiful venue in a beautiful town! flexible, friendly and accommodating owners
