Morganmckay Sent on 06/16/2024Gorgeous Venue and Amazing Staff!!!!
Absolutely phenomenal. Our wedding was out of town (7+ hours for me and my husband) for everyone involved and had a smaller budget. Mary Tannery and Kendra were on top of communication, flexible with changing plans, and extremely supportive during this exciting but also stressful time. Not once did I doubt our decision to go with Magnolia Manor and wish we went with a local venue, that's how amazing they were.
Day-of, the staff were phenomenal. Emily Hudson with The Native Iris both did our flowers and was our day-of coordinator. Not only were the flowers gorgeous and budget-friendly, but she was the perfect support and guidance that entire day. She made sure there were only a few issues that were brought to me, and the rest were handled by the staff without causing me needless stress. Both she and Kenny Fey, our photographer, were the perfect mix of 'in charge'/telling us what to do to keep with the schedule and super encouraging and excited for us. We also brought several of our own decorations which the staff set up for us, and they looked gorgeous.
The staff was so on top of things that not once did I feel like anything was out of control or going wrong (even with a freak town-wide power outage that morning and afternoon rain during the reception). I'm so incredibly thankful to all the people at Magnolia Manor who helped make our special day the gorgeous and memorable event that it was. You couldn't ask for a better group of people to work with! -

Hands down the BEST decision we made was getting married at Magnolia Manor!! The whole estate is beyond beautiful, & the vine-covered chapel is breathtaking! Our entire wedding party plus out of town family all had such a great stay at the Manor over the weekend, she even put our favorite drinks in the fridge & Emily’s flowers were GORGEOUS! Mary went above & beyond for us to make sure that our entire wedding weekend was perfect. Her, Emily & all of the vendors were so involved & helpful, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing for our rehearsal dinner or on our big day, other than walking down the aisle! I couldn’t have dreamed of it going as great as it did & thanks to Mary, I just had the best experience from the beginning of planning to even after the wedding!! I am beyond grateful for Magnolia Manor & the entire crew there!! Thank y’all so much!! 💕 -

Couldn't have asked for better people to work with Joann and her team really put my dreams together. Everything went smooth and stress free so glad I found her they truly care about your vision and go above and beyond. I showed up with my dress and flowers and everything else was taken care of i couldn't have asked for a better. -

Magnolia Manor and all its staff made sure every little detail from decorations to food to attentiveness was perfect. Joanne made sure all of our details and planning was exactly what we wanted. Christy did a magnificent job decorating and leading every step of the wedding and reception. Kenny the photographer provided the most cherishing photos. It could not have been any more perfect. Highly recommend this gorgeous all inclusive venue! -

Everything exceeded our expectations from arrival, accomodations to departure. We are the Bride's Grandparents and we had the best time. We even had our first dance together after a lovely reception. Fun was to be had by all. Remember to include your seniors in your festivities. -

Dawn Sent on 12/28/2022Wonderful Venue, Excellent Staff & Highly Recommend
We live in Charleston and planning a wedding can be quite daunting and very expensive. So our daughter and son-in-law found Magnolia Manor on The Knot -- it was so worth the trip to the Upstate! JoAnn made this long distance planning so easy for our Bride and Groom. They didn't have to worry about anything. MM is all-inclusive -- beautiful venue, great food, charming decorations, fun DJ, intuitive planner, gifted photographer, and attentive staff! Kenny Fey is a phenomenal photographer and when Christy put her ear piece on ... you didn't have to think about what to do or where to be; she very calmly guided you along - she is a great planner! And for our guests with walking limitations, staff went above and beyond driving them to and fro the chapel by golf cart. So from the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner thru the whole wedding day, we were extremely blessed with Magnolia Manor providing so much joy for one of the most important days of this young couples' lives. Thank you very much! -

Kris Sent on 10/18/2022We could not ask for anything more!
We used Magnolia Manor for a wedding with approximately 120 guests. The couple were unable to take part in much of the planning so everything was done long distance by other family members. Joann was extremely responsive and helpful and provided insight and guidance that was invaluable. One the big day everything went off with out a hitch and was nothing short of perfect. We could not have asked for a better day. Highly recommend. -

I am a wedding planner and I had the pleasure of planning a wedding for one of my full service couples at Magnolia Manor! When I tell you that JoAnn made my job a million times easier, I mean it!! This venue is a one stop shop - from venue to catering and DJ to decor, they have it all covered! Everything was perfect and the entire staff at the Manor was so extremely helpful and incredible to work with. I can't wait to do another wedding together soon! -

Paige Sent on 12/11/2021Joanne is so sweet.
The venue is beautiful but Joanne really made our special day that much more special. She's patient and kind and understanding. Thankfully they bear the brunt of the stress and leave the bride and others helping to plan the wedding to enjoy the process instead of being overwhelmed with swatches and sample menus and choosing cakes and finding a DJ and so on and so forth. So much goes into planning the wedding and they take you through everything, step by step. If there's anything you want to provide for yourself (for example, we had a cake lady we've known for years and we wanted to have our cake done by her) they will happily allow you to do so. They have all kinds of things you can borrow, as well. I won't be planning any weddings any time soon, but I'd definitely use Joanne again if I was! -

Shannon Sent on 06/06/2021Incredible Venue!!!!
Perry and I are still overwhelmed with so much joy!! Magnolia literally made our dream wedding come true. I remember our first meeting there. Jo-Ann was so calming, engaged and made me feel very comfortable. Throughout the entire process she was available when I needed her .. she was interested.. very helpful and just so sweet and amazing. Joyce handled our flowers. She went out of her way ( as did Jo-Ann ) to accommodate everything we needed. Joyce was so sweet and so talented. The wedding day was so perfect. Anything we needed .. they got. Everyone went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Christy ( the wedding planner ) was also incredible. She did such an amazing job helping me and everyone.. we literally didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING!!! Kenny did great with the photos and was very clear and helpful in telling us what to do .. Ben, the DJ was AMAZING!! The music and flow was so perfect. The food was incredible.. everything was incredible.. there were 200 plus people there and everyone was happy. We are so grateful for everyone at Magnolia. I would do it there again 1000000000 times. I could go on and on .. I think what stood out to me the most was out much they went out of their way to accommodate what we needed .. they didn’t have to do that, but they chose to anyway. They truly cared about what we wanted and made it all come true.. no matter what it took. They were kind, patient, direct, fun, very attentive, full of joy .. they were perfect. Thank you so much Magnolia!!! I’ll always remember that you guys made my dream wedding come true 😊.. and you all helped me be stress free which is a miracle!! I love you guys!! -

We had our wedding last month and Joann and her team could not have been easier to work with! Everything was perfect from the first day we spoke through the day of the wedding! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! -

Ashley Sent on 12/31/2020Wonderful venue! 💕
Planning a wedding this year was challenging to say the least but Jo-Ann did everything possible to make it easier! This venue is fantastic in so many ways but the best part for us was the fact that everything is taken care of for you! The wedding planner, DJ, photographer, catering, cake, flowers are all included yet you have choices with everything they do! We could not be happier with the way our wedding turned out 💕 I would definitely recommend this venue!Magnolia Manor Inn & Events's reply:
Thank you, Ashley! It was a great day to celebrate you, Jacob and your wonderful children! I'll always be thankful that our paths crossed! -

Kristina Sent on 08/03/2020Fantastic to work with!
I haven't had my wedding at Magnolia Manor yet (it's in just a few short months!), but I just wanted to share how AWESOME my experience with JoAnn and Joyce has been so far! From the very start, JoAnn made us feel so welcome and "at home" and we booked on the spot after our venue tour.
I kept seeing how other couples said that the team at Magnolia Manor just took away the stress on the wedding day, and I can say that, even before the wedding, they have helped my stress levels so much! I am dealing with another wedding vendor (not affiliated with Magnolia Manor in any way) that has been a very stressful and worrisome experience, so I thought going in to the planning meeting with JoAnn and Joyce would be the same, but I was so wrong! They know their stuff and were actually looking out for me with suggestions of how to be more cost-effective and things that would work/look better. I was feeling stressed going in to the planning meeting, but they just helped so much and my stress level went way down! Now I am so much more happy and confident that I will have my dream wedding to my dream man and that everything will work out beautifully!
I lost some excitement for the wedding because of COVID-19, normal wedding stress, and the stress from that other vendor, but I'm more excited now and I can't wait for the wedding day! I know it will be BEAUTIFUL and it will be in more than capable hands! Thank you JoAnn and Joyce for putting my mind at ease!Magnolia Manor Inn & Events's reply:
Thank you for sharing this, Kristina! It is always our goal to help our couples and assist our families as best we can. Our hope is to remove as much stress and worry as is possible amid whatever life throws our way! You and your family have been a joy to work with and we're very excited about your wedding plans! -

Wow!! Is the first thing that comes to mind for this Mom. The overwhelming kindness shown to my daughter and myself as we planned her big day was so heartfelt! Not to mention Magnolia Manors breathtaking beauty. The down to earthiness I felt when we were talking to Joann was like i had known her forever. Which helped calm this Mom's heart! I can NEVER thank her and her staff enough for all their hard work in preparation for my daughters big day! It was definitely a Gorgeous day that will forever be one of my favorite moments! ❤ So thank you from the bottom of my heart! Amanda and Ryan had their AMAZING fairytale Cinderella wedding thanks to Magnolia Manor! I highly recommend using if your looking for that elegant make you feel at home atmosphere! We Loved it!! Thanks again Joann 💞Magnolia Manor Inn & Events's reply:

We have had nothing but positive experiences with the MM team. Our wedding had to be rescheduled very last minute due to covid-19 and JoAnn was very flexible with us for changing our date 2 days before the wedding. She has always been very communicative and a pleasure to work with. We are very excited to have our wedding this summer at Magnolia Manor! -

Jessica Sent on 07/30/2019Smith Review Of Magnolia Manor 2019
Jo'Ann and her staff was amazing. Everyone knew exactly what they were suppose to be doing and did their job well. I had ZERO stress before, during, and after my wedding (besides stressing about rain) but that was out of their control. The payment plans that they have in place to help you have the wedding of your dreams was very helpful for us. Jo'Ann was flexible if a payment was due and we needed to extend just a few days. The venue was very nice and the pictures that were taken from there were AMAZING also by Chase Todd. I wasn't very big on the entire flowers and Joyce who also works their helped create the perfect flowers for a very reasonable price. I liked the one and go that they offer meaning they do everything and you basically just tell them what you like and do not like. Everything was handled by the staff. One thing I might change if I had to do it over again was my food choice. Not everyone was a fan of the food. I enjoyed my experience and if I had to do it over again I would pick Magnolia Manor again!! -

Melanie Sent on 06/24/2019Absolutely Fantastic and Budget Friendly
After 2 years of searching for a venue for my daughter’s wedding we heard about Magnolia Manor through my son-in-law’s coworker who was married there. Since we are from PA and aren’t familiar with the area, this was absolutely perfect for us! Everything was included in the very reasonable price which was a huge blessing for our whole family traveling from out of town. There weren’t quite enough rooms in the Manor for us all to stay there but hotels within 15 minutes made it very doable. Owner JoAnn and staff are so kind and easy to work with! We had the wonderful rehearsal dinner here as well (not included in price). We were able to spend the afternoon in the dressing rooms getting ready with all the girls which was wonderful. The entire weekend was so well organized and flawless. We couldn’t have done it without director Joyce and MC Ben! The Brisket and Chicken Magnolia were out-of-this-world delicious! The cake was wonderful. Beautiful flowers and an array of decorations to choose from so that you don’t have to buy them all. You will not be disappointed booking your wedding here. My only recommendation would be to wait for cooler months as the heat and humidity in late June in SC is extreme. -

Everyone that worked with us for our wedding was WONDERFUL. I never thought that I would not be at least a little stressed when it came time to get married but they really did and thought of everything. The venue is absolutely stunning and the food was amazing. Anyone that wants a great venue, fantastic people to work with and an easy process, choose Magnolia Manor!!! -

Alania Sent on 12/31/2018Perfect Winter Wedding
This location is stunning. The manor house and its grounds were the perfect place to hold a small, intimate wedding, like ours, but could easily accommodate a large wedding as well. Our ceremony was held in the gardens, which was beautiful even in the middle of winter, We stayed with our families for the wedding weekend in the Bed and Breakfast, which had lovely, well-decorated rooms. The rehearsal dinner and wedding reception were wonderful meals. The wedding planner, JoAnn, made the whole wedding planning process exceedingly simple. She and her staff were extremely accommodating, helpful, and kind. -

This venue was not only beautiful, but so versatile. Joann is amazing. She will do everything she can to make your special day stress free, beautiful, seamless, and memorable. Joyce put together the most beautiful centerpieces and wedding decorations, the flowers were perfectly arranged. Kenny was a fantastic photographer, He knew exactly what to do and had wonderful ideas. Mike was not only a joy to work with but made us laugh, which only made our wedding that much more memorable. The staff here were so wonderful, they were pleasant and friendly. Tara not only took my requests in stride, but was able to make me look more beautiful than i ever could have imagined. She is super sweet and a joy to be around. I will be contacting her for future hair/makeup needs. The cake was SOO good and so beautiful, exactly what we had asked for! I could never have had such an amazing day without all of these people working together to make such a beautiful event. -
