Tudor House on the Portage Lakes Waterfront

Brentt Moore

A stellar location for all types of New Franklin events that occur year round. The property is beautiful, as are the grounds themselves that back up into the water. The improvements made here recently are amazing. I recommend parking in the large Portage Lakes state park parking lot and walking over through the connecting trail.

It was an enjoyable day with the Tudor House being the host for the event I attended. It is a wonderful property and I look forward to the Tudor House renovations being completed and tours made available to the public 😀

We hosted our wedding ceremony at the Tudor House and had an excellent time. The bridal and groom suites were abundant and accommodating. Plenty of space for our 20 person wedding party. We were able to host our nearly 250 guests comfortably outside and we had a terrific experience the day of. We brought the tropics to Portage Lakes and thee waterfront served as a perfect backdrop for our theme. My groom pulled up to the ceremony in a speed boat! As our date approached we became nervous of all the renovations happening on the grounds, but that was short lived. The team worked quickly to prepare the grounds and interiors for our arrangements. The historic, home is a picture of romance and they’ve done an excellent job preserving that history while providing modern amenities. The staff was present day of to help with set up and parking. Leading up to the day they were readily available for any questions or walk throughs of the space. We had a tall bill and were met for the most part wherever we needed. That was invaluable and many of our guests remarked on this “hidden gem” in North East Ohio. We did not have the best experience once the management switched over (This has been updated to reflect that Beach Boyz, Ent isn’t managing the Tudor House). We were informed a month before the wedding that we had to pay an additional $1300 for a tent that we did not use as we were only using the venue for our ceremony. We understand the city enforced this rule, but some flexibility with pricing would’ve been appreciated. Overall our day was wonderful, despite the one issue. The staff was attentive and ensured our day went off without a hitch. Thank you to the entire team for helping to make this day one of a kind. We had a fantastic, beautiful day and are happy we chose the Tudor House for our wedding.
