❤️ We have a favor to ask...

When we opened the doors to Cobalt Manor, our dream was simple—to create a place where people could celebrate life's most meaningful moments in a beautiful historic setting.

From "I do" to anniversaries, bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, and family celebrations, we've been blessed to be a small part of so many wonderful memories.

Today, we're honored to share that Cobalt Manor has been nominated for 2026 First State Favorites – Central as Best Wedding & Event Venue!

If you've celebrated with us, attended an event, or simply love seeing historic places preserved and enjoyed by our community, we'd be incredibly grateful for your vote.

Your support means more than you know, and we're thankful for every person who has helped make Cobalt Manor what it is today.

From our family to yours—thank you. ❤️

This chandelier has hung here since 1868.

When we began restoring Cobalt Manor, we fell in love with details like this. original crystal, original plaster, a room that remembers every celebration it has ever held.

Some things simply cannot be recreated.

This is what cooking with love looks like. 🍽️

Every dish at Elizabeth Esther Café is made from scratch, the best ingredients, just the way our grandmothers would have wanted.

The café is named after them. Two women who believed a good meal was the warmest welcome you could offer.

Come taste that welcome for yourself. Reserve your table at cobaltmanor.com

Every detail set, every moment ready to shine. 💐

We loved welcoming guests to this beautifully dressed table at Cobalt Manor. There is something about the way candlelight catches gold-rimmed China inside a newly built event space that makes every celebration feel truly unforgettable.

If you are planning a wedding, shower, or private dinner, we would love to help you create a moment just like this.

This garden didn't always look like this.

When we first walked the grounds of this 1868 Italianate mansion, we saw something most people would have walked away from. Three years of restoration later, every stone, every bloom, every detail tells a story worth preserving.

We fell in love with this place so you could too.
