Beautiful venue, super professional

We can't say enough good things about these folks. From the very beginning, Gabrella Manor helped us attend to every detail, and when the COVID outbreak forced a delay in the proceedings, they patiently worked with us to make sure the final arrangements were just right. This is closest thing to a "one-stop" venue you could hope for - they handle wedding planning, venue decor, food, photography, flowers. All this was tailored to what we wanted. They also coordinated everything with other outside vendors we used (like the band and chauffeured limousine!). HIghest recommendations!

Great Venue !!

Gabrella Manor is such a beautiful venue. The venue does not require a lot of extra decorations to make it special. We worked with Brenda during the planning process, she helped us keep the budget as low as possible, but I as a bride was able to have everything I wanted for the special day. We had one real planning day and she handled it. I trusted her 23 years + experience. This was one of the major reasons we chose Gabrella Manor, is because I didn't have time to plan every detail.The venue handles the ceremony, food, decorations, and flowers. Steve Johnson is the photographer you can use through the venue, and he was wonderful to work with. So friendly and I was at ease with him the entire time. He knows this venue so well, and knows where and when to get the best pictures. Our pictures were so beautiful and vibrant! Our wedding guests all said what a wonderful time they had, plenty of food and drinks for all. Our day was very organized from start to finish, which for me, I liked because I didn't have to worry about what was happening and when. Thanks Brenda, Steve, Lori, and all the others who helped make our wedding day so perfect !!

We could not have asked for more!

This venue is everything. Our experience was phenomenal. We live in Tennessee and Gabrella’s staff was extremely helpful with the wedding planning process. Gabrella is fantastic because it requires only minimal decoration as the venue is so incredibly beautiful! They take care of the food and flowers in house and offer photography. They recommended a great DJ and for our evening as well. Our wedding day was everything we wanted it to be. I would recommend Gabrella Manor and the amazing staff to anyone!

Venue like no other

Gabrella Manor is a one stop shop for most everything you require for a wedding. They handle the venue/decorations, flowers, food, and alcohol onsite. The only thing you have to reach outside of their venue for is music, cake, and photography. They can make recommendations on who they have used previously, or you can bring your own. Either way, the experience is like no other. We had several planning sessions to work out the details, and handled other things via e-mail. It was incredibly convenient for my busy work schedule. The staff were all amazing and took care of my every need, most of the time anticipating my needs before I even asked. They were accommodating and adaptable. I would recommend this venue to anyone!

Every detail was meticulously and impeccably planned--down to the staff member who handed Jessi and John a damp cloth to wipe their hands after the cake-cutting. The flowers were beautiful, the photographer fun and attentive, the manager pleasant and on top, the staff organized and so nice, and the venue a beautiful backdrop for a perfect wedding! Book them today!

Amazing venue and team! We loved our wedding at Gabrella Manor. They made the process so easy and everything exceeded our expectations. We can't say enough good things about Gabrella and everyone there, we've received so many compliments on the wedding and we owe it all to them. Having an "all-inclusive" style wedding venue like Gabrella makes planning a breeze, and the gorgeous venue is second to none. You won't be disappointed!
