The Grand Manor was the BEST decision we could make for a venue! We live two hours away from our home town of Melbourne and we work full time, so we were looking for a venue that made the planning process easy while also being affordable. This was the best place for that! We had a food tasting and one other meeting to make final coordinations about a month before. The coordinator KC was extremely helpful and the whole staff had so many helpful suggestions and knew so much about weddings. The set up in the reception area was taken care of by the venue team based on a diagram we made, and I just love that they made it so easy! KC designed the table settings and we just brought the centerpieces, which saved me so much stress. The ability to include the food, cake, and bar in our package was our main reason for choosing this venue and we were not disappointed! Both the food and cake were delicious and our guests are still talking about them! The catering and bar staff were very friendly and made our guests feel so comfortable. Our bartender mentioned to me that the Grand Manor is very family-friendly in regards to their staff and I loved hearing that they really take care of their team, on top of how beautiful they made our day. One of the staff members, Sonya, was extremely helpful on the day of in keeping me calm and offering her help any way she could. She also brought us appetizers in the dressing room before the ceremony, and the team packed a to-go box of food for my husband and I which was a LIFE SAVER after dancing and drinking all night. We really felt like the team at the venue was as excited for us as our own family, and it just really added to the magic of the day.

Besides all of that, the venue itself is gorgeous and really looks high-class for an affordable price. The ceremony space is beautifully decorated. The bridal and groom suites were amazing and gave my bridesmaids and I the opportunity to spend the whole day there getting ready and taking our time. We asked if we could bring a popcorn machine and the venue was very accommodating to let us bring it! The reception space is beautiful and the seating is very comfortable. We LOVED our sweetheart table chairs and have gotten tons of compliments on them. I feel this venue took all the stress out of our day and I’m extremely thankful. I highly highly recommend The Grand Manor!!!

This venue was by far the best choice around the Melbourne location . It includes so much that it takes off a lot of stress from the bride!! Fantastic staff and beautiful place!! Love love love !
