The best venue and people out there!

Wow! How to even make this review short... Sandlewood Manor was gorgeous and perfect for our wedding! The staff is extremely nice, respectful and thoughtful. They literally catered to all our needs. From the day we toured the place to even after the wedding! They are just so thoughtful and I can't say enough good things about them! The owners, staff and their catering were amazing. Shane was our coordinator and we loved her so much! She made sure we were always happy and well taken care of. I mean the whole land is breathtaking, you have to see it for yourself! We are forever obsessed with Sandlewood Manor!!!

Beautiful Venue!

Sandlewood Manor is absolutely beautiful, every inch of this venue is filled with small details that make for the best pictures! The staff is also friendly, very attentive and accommodating. From the day we took the tour to our wedding day, everyone who assisted us was helpful and caring. Raquel took care of us as we neared our wedding day and saw us off the morning after our wedding (as we stayed the night). She is truly so sweet and was always quick to respond to any questions. We highly, highly recommend Sandlewood Manor!

Magical Venue

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Sandlewood Manor, and it was nothing short of magical! From the enchanting ambiance to the impeccable service, our special day was everything we had ever dreamed of.

Choosing a Thursday wedding was a fantastic decision to help save on costs, and Sandlewood Manor made it feel just as grand as a weekend celebration. The venue's team ensured that every detail was executed flawlessly, leaving us and our guests in awe.

We were encouraged to use their caterer, LaRue Catering & Events. We were given the option to bring in our own catering company for a buyout fee, but we chose to use LaRue and we were not disappointed. The food was fantastic!

One thing to note is that outside liquor is not permitted, so we opted for their selection. While this was an initial concern for us, their offerings were extensive, and the quality was top-notch. The staff were all extremely friendly and on top of everything.

Overall, Sandlewood Manor provided a picturesque venue for our celebration. The venue's attention to detail, flexibility with vendors, and overall professionalism contributed to a beautiful and memorable event. We highly recommend Sandlewood Manor to any couple looking to create their own magical moments!

Stunning venue with an amazing team!

If you are considering Sandlewood Manor, book them now with no hesitation! I recently got married here, and my experience was nothing short of amazing. The property is STUNNING and offers a plethora of opportunities for the outdoor wedding to the chapel wedding. Whatever your dream wedding looks like, there is a fit for it in one of the locations available for ceremonies at SWM. Not only will your wedding be breathtaking, but you will have the opportunity to work with some of the sweetest people! Shane was my venue concierge and was so helpful and prompt. She made the whole experience incredibly pleasant and made me confident that my wedding day was under control! Additionally, the security team and the cleanup crews were so sweet and friendly. They all made the environment warm and welcoming and all-around peaceful. Lastly, the venue's caterer, LaRue Catering & Events, was the perfect touch to our night! Their food was outstanding, and they worked with our needs to ensure our menu fit within our budget. Even on the lower end of a budget, they ensured quality was not compromised! Overall, choosing Sandlewood Manor was the best decision I made when planning my wedding. It was the most beautiful, stress-free day thanks to the Sandlewood Manor property and team!

Amazing venue and staff

I was hired by the couple to be their day of coordinator at Sandlewood Manor. First of all, the venue is breath taking. It has a beautiful 'Manor House' for bridal suite and downstairs cocktail. You also have the option of staying over night. The new chapel is perfect and they thought of everything with the restrooms at the front, as well as two double doors for the bride and whoever is walking her down the aisle to get prepped prior to walking down in the AC. It is a blank slate to be decorated however the couple sees fit. The manor house has a piano and the venue has a great recommendation for the player during cocktail hour. (The MOB from my wedding was so glad they added this at the last minute.)
The grooms cottage has a pool and they are able to grill and swim while they are hanging out, it is so nice they have their own space that is not a closet (like a lot of other venues). It is also nice that it is not in the same building as the bride so she can freely walk around the Manor House. The 'Barn' as they called the big reception space is anything but a barn. The chandeliers are to die for and the venue provides all tables and chairs as well as set up and break down of them according to the floor plan you send. The venue comes with staff and if you thought I was babbling before, hold on to your seats! THE STAFF HERE IS AMAZING. The catering staff, the bar staff, the venue staff TRULY went above and beyond on every. single. front.
I want to give a very special shout out to Laura, the venue coordinator, for her attentiveness and responsiveness. She is super easy to get along with and very personable. She helped with everything on the venue side and was there anytime I had a quick question or needed anything.

If you're looking for a venue, please go see for yourself everything Sandlewood Manor has to offer, you won't regret it!!

Flexible, Accommodating, Personalized and Professional

I booked Sandlewood for my April 2020 wedding back in October 2018, before they were even officially open. I made plans to visit numerous venues, but as soon as we drove up to Sandlewood, I knew I had to cancel all my other appointments. This venue is GORGEOUS! A Greek-revival style manor house on 27 acres, a pool, a lake and fountain, and horses? Yes Please! We went home and immediately booked our date. Having never planned such a large event in my life, I asked for some vendor recommendations. Not only did Sandlewood present numerous vendors, but offered many in-house services which really put me at ease. Additionally, it was through Sandlewood's recommended vendors that I found my amazing wedding planner. Already, I knew Sandlewood was going to be a GREAT venue. As luck would have it, after almost a year and a half of planning, just as invitation RSVPs started rolling in for my wedding, the COVID19 Pandemic hit the United States with a Fury. Sandlewood worked with me to move my date, and completely accommodate all the last minute changes, including significantly reduced headcount, and exceed both state guideline recommendations and my own safety protocols for a spaced seated dinner for a MUCH smaller and now outdoor wedding. Laura was my main point of contact. She was so amazing, patient, and on top of everything. I understand many vendors felt financial losses due to COVID, but I was treated with the same professionalism when I was planning my large wedding, as I was the more intimate wedding. While there were some changes with venue procedures in the 2 years between booking the venue and the actual event, Shawn and Lauren were nothing but accommodating and helpful. For the actual event, the staff was a dream to work with - everything went smoothly, and the in-house caterers, LaRue Catering, was so DELICIOUS! We had numerous guests tell us they have never had such a delicious meal in their entire life, and that's an understatement. I highly recommend Sandlewood Manor!
