Nothing short of amazing

We had our wedding at maneeleys and sandy, Lisa and their team went above and beyond to work with us and our vendors and make our day truly magical. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the food was, how well thought out everything we did was and how lovely it was decorated and organized. Sandy and Lisa were SUPER attentive day of to make sure we had everything we wanted and needed for our special day. Sandy was the biggest help leading up to the big day organizing everything under the sun and I was very type A and brought specific instructions for setup-which she followed perfectly! Again- I couldn’t recommend maneeleys, sandy, Lisa and the team any more! They’re truly amazing and wouldn’t have wanted our special day anywhere else. Thank you!!!

The perfect day!

My husband and I recently had our wedding at Maneeley's, and we truly cannot say enough good things about our experience! From the initial tour to the final send-off, everything went smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day.

Sandy and her team were absolutely amazing! They were so easy to work with and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. Sandy listened to our vision and exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and she puts her heart into each wedding she coordinates. We never felt like we were just another couple – she made our day feel uniquely ours and incredibly special.

The venue itself is stunning, with a variety of beautiful locations to choose from for the ceremony. The many décor options made wedding planning so much easier and stress-free, and we were able to create the exact atmosphere we had envisioned. The flexibility in ceremony locations was a huge plus, and we were thrilled with the setting we chose.

When it came to the food, Maneeley’s truly exceeded all expectations. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was! The portion sizes were generous – no one left hungry! The drink selection was also fantastic, and our guests loved the Champagne and signature cocktails. It’s clear that the venue takes pride in offering high-quality food and drinks.

Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our choice of venue. Sandy and her staff made our wedding day flawless, and we’ll be forever grateful for the care and attention they put into making our day so memorable. If you’re looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding venue with exceptional service and amazing food, we highly recommend Maneeley’s!

Maneeley’s is the perfect venue!!

Maneeley’s was one of the best choices we made when it came to our wedding. They were excellent from start to finish. They did everything for us, from decorating to cleaning up to loading our car at the end of the night! The food was excellent. The staff were all amazing, they were extremely helpful and they went above and beyond to make our experience great. Sandy worked with us directly and she was heaven sent. She has been doing this for years she knows what she’s doing and it shows. She was always available and if she didn’t have an answer she would get back to us extremely fast with a solution to any question that I had. She made our experience fantastic. The venue itself was beautiful and I feel like my pictures came out of a magazine. It is well kept and gorgeous inside and out. They offer a lot in their packages which I noticed other venues did not offer nearly as much. Maneeley’s was a 10/10 and I recommend it to everyone!! We had the perfect day

I absolutely love to work at Maneeley's Banquets! The property has two beautiful rooms which offer their own unique style for receptions and the grounds are well groomed for ceremonies and a variety of photo opportunities. The menu options are delicious and well prepared. I applaud the owner, Bruce and the banquet manager, Sandy for going above and beyond the norm for their clients and their vendors!
