Amazing Venue

We could not have asked for a more perfect place for our day. The staff and coordinator were a well oiled machine. Everyone had a clear idea of what to do and helped us through the day. Would recommend to all!

Amazing Experience

From start to finish, this venue was incredible. We weren’t too picky with which vendors we had for our wedding, so the all-inclusive route seemed to fit our personalities best. Honestly though, each vendor they offered blew us out of the water. We were over the moon with everything, and especially our coordinator, Linda. I would highly recommend this venue. It was stress-free and I was able to fully relax and enjoy our special day. The way it should be! :)

The Shabby Chic Wedding Barn is the best place for a wedding!

The Venue package was the easiest thing I could have done! The wedding coordinator that they assigned me was amazing and all of the vendors that they recommended were awesome as well. I would definitely recommend!

The Best day of my Life!

Our wedding was on 10/14/2023 in the Garden room. We had about 80 guests and it was the most beautiful and wonderful time. All of the vendors I got through Saxon were absolutely amazing.
My Coordinator, Linda, worked so hard to make everything beautiful and even better than I had pictured. We had a bridesmaids dress disaster, and she had shout wipes for us. I left my bouquet in the brides suite and she sprinted to grab it for me before I walked down the aisle into the most elegant ceremony area.
Everything was set up and taken down for us. My family was able to relax and enjoy the entire wedding without worrying about doing any preparations. On top of it all, the food was phenomenal, my cake was so amazing, the DJ (DJ Beezy) was complimented by all of my guests all night long. All of the vendors I never would have had if I did not go through Saxon Manor. I could not recommend a place enough. All of my guests keep coming back to ask me “how in the world did you find this place?!?” And telling me how magical this venue was. I have to agree.

Amazing and Beautiful Venue!

Our coordinator Linda made everything so easy! She listened to exactly what we wanted and then exceeded our expectations! The decor and flowers were absolutely beautiful. We have been told by many guests that this was the best wedding they have ever attended!

Diane, the bar tender was AMAZING. All the workers were very friendly and helpful.

The food, cake and desserts were incredible! Everything was delicious!

I would HIGHLY recommend Saxon Manor to anyone who is getting married!

Simply the best!

I don't know that I can fully summarize how amazing the experience with Saxon Manor was for my wedding yesterday!!

My fiance and I got engaged in February, and we're married yesterday July 23rd. I learned about the venues through one of the bridal shows, and I'm so so glad I found them!! We used the barn venue space, but the garden is also beautiful. The outside space for the ceremony underneath the greenery Arch, the paved pathway all the way from the barn to the ceremony space, the bench seating outside, and all of the shade made the ceremony exactly what I wanted! The barn is positively stunning, and something truly from a dream.

My coordinator was Danielle and she was absolutely TBE BEST person for the job! From the tour (that she gave us) All the way through to the end of the wedding night She knew exactly what she was doing! There was never any doubt in my mind that the vision that I had and that her and I created together would come to life on the wedding night.

We used all of the vendors that were provided through the all-inclusive package from Saxon Manor. Amy's creative cakes did our two-tier traditional flavor wedding cake and a total of 80 cupcakes with the flavors of Oreo, key lime, hummingbird, and more traditional (almond cake with a raspberry filling). Amazingly delicious!! My guests are still talking to me about it today. DJ Tony Sparks was who we used for our DJ and he absolutely nailed it! We could not have asked for a better DJ for the night. We aren't even a dancing crowd, I myself only know how to white girl dance lol, and he found ways to get my whole family and my husband's whole family on the dance floor! Shawna meadors was our photographer and she was amazing!! She made me feel so comfortable while taking pictures and even showed me a couple sneak peeks from her camera lens and the pictures are going to be phenomenal!!

everyone there from the very start of our engagement to the end of our wedding last night was polite, professional, courteous, friendly, down to earth, and just the kind of people you want to be around during the biggest moment of your life! I could talk about how amazing they experience was until I'm blue in the face!!

You definitely need this venue, trust me!

What a wonderful experiance

I went to my sisters wedding here. I didn't really know what to expect since I am from Minnesota. I had a blast here and the service was above normal.

Saxon Manor is amazing, and LINDA is the best!

We got married in the Barn at this location and it was magical. The venue is stunning and feels like a little piece of heaven when you are there. I was looking for a place that was upscale, unique, and not your traditional "barn" look. The inside of the barn is light, bright, and breathtaking. The biggest blessing we got from this venue is our Day of Coordinator Linda. I do not have enough words to write how amazing she is. I truly do not think I could have done any of it without her. She was there every step of the way, making things I didn't even know could happen, HAPPEN. She took care of all of my worries, and made the day so smooth and seamless, even when issues arose. She went out of her way so many times for us to make our day special. If you are looking for someone to help you with your wedding SHE IS THE BEST OUT THERE! I would recommend this location highly and especially Linda!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
