There is so much riding on your wedding day and for all of us, high expectations to make the wedding day the "best day ever". When touring different venues in the Poconos (our desired destination wedding area), we immediately knew that Magnolia Streamside was our venue. It had everything we were looking for: classy rustic (how we themed our wedding), incredibly beautiful setting from the tiny waterfalls to the stream to the lake to the cabins, and a place that we could rent out entirely to have all our friends and family present and comfortable in their accommodations. Not to be disparaging to other Poconos venues but some of the other options felt like wedding machines - hosting multiple weddings on the same day, very transactional in their process, and not authentic in the setting. Cheyenne made everything easy - from booking the venue and date, figuring out the accommodations with all the cabins, determining the wedding, coordinating with vendors. It was everything we wanted and more. I can't put into words how beautiful our wedding week was - you can't choose a better venue in terms of vibe and natural beauty. The chapel is gorgeous, the cabins are incredibly gorgeous, the stream running through the property is just captivating, and the proximity to other things for guests was perfect. We had some guests that wanted to stay at the casino, others that booked an Air BnB because they brought their dog, and it all worked out perfectly. Did I mention the food? We didn't do any pre-wedding tastings but we were confident in what the weekend would look like because of the ongoing conversations with Cheyenne. She laid out all our options - the pros and cons of the choices, their flexibility in what we envisioned the menu to be, the customization of even the simplest things like dressings for the salad. I would be remise to mention that because we were there for the week leading up the wedding, we were witness to the Magnolia staff that worked tirelessly to make the property ready - the landscapers, the maintenance team, the front desk staff that were overly accommodating with linens, the owners that allowed me to print things like menus and place cards. If your vibe is like ours - the beauty of nature, disconnecting from high tech to really appreciate whatever your event is, a customized experience that stands alone (not competing with multiple other events on the same property), and incredibly tasty food (our guests still can't stop talking about the short ribs) - Magnolia is your only option in the Poconos. You will not regret it, guaranteed.

Our wedding weekend at Magnolia was nothing short of magical. The serene setting was the perfect backdrop for our Fall wedding, and everything we dreamed of and more. The peaceful grounds and sound of the stream was such a major part of calming our wedding jitters and keeping us at ease. The cabins provided such a fun way to have our nearest and dearest spend more time with us to make for a more intimate event lasting more than one night. The staff was the most hospitable and helpful when needed, while also giving us enough privacy and space. Cheyenne our event manager went above and beyond throughout the entire process of planning. From the moment we took the tour with her, she assured us we'd be in the best hands for our special day. She provided so much support, advice, information, even friendship during the entire process. She is so passionate about her couples and makes you feel so special and taken care of. Our friends and family raved about the beauty of the venue and can't wait to have a place to come back and stay. Not having a food tasting made us nervous at first but we were extremely pleased and impressed with all of the food, and chef and staff were so friendly and helpful through the planning process and at the event. Cheyenne connected us with Chef Danial and Bartender Tom when we had questions, and everyone was so approachable, friendly, and helpful. It was such a pleasure making new connections with them and we are so excited to have a new home away from home to come stay for anniversaries and getaways.

When my husband and I were researching venues in our area, we knew that we wanted a wedding weekend, outdoors, in the woods, surrounded by friends and family. Magnolia provided all of that - plus more! The venue is woodsy, romantic, and perfect for an outdoor wedding. we had our family and wedding party stay at the cabins onsite which made for a perfect weekend. Their coordinator, Cheyenne, is the best in the game. I TRULY mean that. She has so much insight and advice about how to make your big day dreams come true. Super communicative, checked on me throughout the planning process, and was very patient during our planning calls. I'm such an anxious person and wanted everything to go right - and Cheyenne made that possible. The staff onsite were amazing and so friendly. Chef Danial really knocked it out of the park with the menu. The houses on site were super cozy for our friends and family and allowed us to spend 3 wonderful days celebrating together. My family is used to indoor banquet hall weddings, so this venue and vibe were the first for many of the guests. We received so many compliments and praise for our wedding weekend. Truly outstanding venue - I highly encourage anyone looking for an outdoor venue to book with Magnolia!!
