Magnolia Streamside Resort Reviews

This was the most incredible venue. It suited our style so well and working with Cheyenne was the best. We look forward to coming back to spend our anniversary

We had our wedding at Magnolia Streamside in June 2023 and it was everything that we hoped for and more! The venue itself is naturally beautiful with a brand new pavilion to host your reception, a babbling creek running through the middle of the property, and a gorgeous outdoor chapel among the tall trees. Planning your wedding at Magnolia is a breeze thanks to their amazing coordinator, Cheyenne. From day 1, Cheyenne guided us throughout the planning process down to every little detail. She is extremely organized and personable, making it a joy to work with her leading up to the wedding weekend. Even better, she was with us in person for every event hosted on the Magnolia property and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly (which it did!). The chef at Magnolia did an incredible job with our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding reception dinner. We were able to customize our menu to our liking and everything came out delicious. We had our wedding party and close family members stay on the property at the cabins for a long weekend, which was so nice. Having the First Place Cafe down the street was super convenient for our guests staying for the weekend to grab a quick breakfast or lunch. At the end of each night, everyone settled in around a campfire. It was so magical. Can't wait to visit Magnolia for our first anniversary, the place is so special to my wife and I. Thanks to Cheyenne and the entire Magnolia staff for an unforgettable wedding weekend!

One of the things that I love about weddings is that they provide couples with the opportunity to let their event reflect what makes their love so special and unique. The BIG day should speak to who the couple are as individuals and as soon-to-be newlyweds.
Venue tour, after venue tour, my husband and I began to become overwhelmed and exhausted. However, as soon as we arrived at Magnolia Streamside Resort, we were overcome with the feeling that this was it. Canadensis, PA’s hidden gem.
From the moment we stepped into Magnolia Streamside, we had the mutual feeling of finding something special. And it was. The friendly staff, the inviting living spaces, and the feeling that mother nature was making room for us in this place, was magical. We were extremely happy with the venue and our bridal party enjoyed being able to spend our weekend with us in both a casual and formal setting! Pictures and words will never do this venue justice, VISIT. I cannot say it enough, go and visit.
Of course, a wedding coordinator can make your planning experience miserable or they, like Cheyenne, can make it an absolute dream. Cheyenne from the start dove into helping us plan our perfect wedding before we even committed to the venue. Once we said yes, and really began our planning with her assistance, Cheyenne’s truly incredible talents shined. I cannot say enough about how helpful, informative, patient, friendly, and graceful she was with us. She also gave us her honesty, which was one of the most wonderful things about the process. She told us from her experiences what worked/didn’t work, and then provided help with making it happen or alternatives/solutions. Cheyenne also handled every unplanned scenario the day of our event with such professionalism and a “it’s taken care of” attitude. The first thing we heard from our guests post-event was how phenomenal she was throughout the entire wedding. We could not agree more. Just like Magnolia Streamside Resort as a venue, you will not understand from pictures and words Cheyenne’s remarkable skill, VISIT. I cannot say it enough, go and visit.
Weddings really do go by fast. They are a fleeting moment in the span of a lifetime. However, our wedding weekend experience at Magnolia Streamside Resort (with obviously the help of Cheyenne) was a life-changing moment and our favorite moment ever.

Every part of our wedding planning and actual event was perfect! Cheyenne and her team are helpful, thoughtful and incredibly efficient when it comes to throwing the perfect wedding. Every need and comfort was met graciously and effectively. The venue is breathtaking and our guests couldn’t stop gushing about what a gorgeous, intimate experience it was. Food was excellent and every staff member was incredibly accommodating, from the front desk, to bartenders, to maintenance, everyone was spectacular. Cannot recommend Magnolia enough.

We knew Magnolia was the venue for us as soon as we stepped onto the property. We were blown away by the rambling creek and ambience of the forest. I loved the idea of a venue that was so beautiful in its natural state, it doesn't have to "try hard". The aspect of making the wedding celebration into a weekend, with our closest friends and family stay on site was so important to us.

Cheyenne was everything her reviews say and more! I'm a bit of a planner myself, and having someone to help navigate the process and take some of that stress away was incredible. She's a gem. She truly wants you to have the best wedding experience and she did not shy away from doing whatever the moment needed for us to relax, enjoy and have our vision come true. We were well taken care of, down to the small details.

The rest of the staff was so friendly and nice too! The food was awesome, you can tell the staff at Magnolia enjoys what they do and it shows through with their work. We would get married here again and again if we could.

Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to Magnolia Streamside Resort and their wonderful staff. Cheyenne is a pleasure to work with, she went above and beyond our expectations. Whenever we had a question or concern she got back to us in a timely manner and made sure we had everything we needed. She was also about 8 months pregnant come our wedding day and decided she couldn’t miss it! We still have family and friends reaching out in awe of the venue with the stream and onsite cabins. We were able to have all of our closest loved ones stay onsite with us and even had a late night camp fire to sit around after the majority of our wedding guests had left. Cheyenne made great local recommendations for accommodations, food, and things to do. Our wedding dinner was provided by Magnolia and we greatly enjoyed the roasted chicken, prime beef, and shrimp scampi as our meal with some very tasty side salads. We will never forget our special day and look forward to visiting for long weekends for years to come. – Karissa & Morgan

I don't even know where to start! I stumbled upon Magnolia on google when looking for venues in the Poconos and I'm SO glad that I did. It was one of the first venues I looked at online and even after touring a few others - I knew Magnolia was the one before I even saw it in person. We wanted a venue where we could host each event of the weekend (Rehearsal, Ceremony, Reception, Brunch) to keep it as laid back as possible for us and our guests. Lodging (for about 60 ppl) and catering are both on-site which took a TON of stress off planning. (Extra bonus the food was absolutely delicious - highly recommend the wood-fired pizzas, prosciutto-wrapped grilled peach, and eggplant rollatini). It made everything SO easy having all of the events in one place — being able to stay on-site with so many of our friends and family was amazing. It was exactly how we envisioned our wedding weekend. We're also very outdoorsy and wanted to incorporate that into our wedding, so when we finally visited Magnolia in person and saw how beautiful it was (from the stream to the forest surrounding it to the cottages), we booked it the same day. It was also very affordable as far as a 3-day wedding event goes and our guests appreciated the low cost to stay for the whole weekend. I believe they have increased their prices since we booked though - as they should! Throughout our engagement, they ended up making several upgrades to the pavilion and grounds that made the venue even more beautiful on our actual wedding day.

Cheyenne - the coordinator - was beyond amazing from the start. She was so energetic, flexible and helpful throughout the entire planning process (from when we booked it in November 2020 to our wedding in June 2022). Even though she was coordinating multiple weddings, the attention she gave us made it feel like ours was the only one! We aren't from the area so she was also full of recommendations for local vendors, places to eat, things to do, etc. I really feel like she went above and beyond!! She kept the pressure of planning off me & my now husband and made sure that we were as relaxed as possible throughout planning but especially the weekend of the wedding. She was a godsend on the day-of, making sure we didn't feel pressured with timelines and giving us time for just the two of us after the ceremony with our own bottle of champagne so we could take a breath before the rest of the night. I didn't hire a florist but provided some bulk flowers and greenery from Costco that Cheyenne & her team turned into the most BEAUTIFUL centerpieces and altar decor. All the decor & signs that I had spent months DIYing, she placed around the site exactly as I had pictured (actually even better than I had pictured!). I didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of the ceremony!

ALL of the staff at the venue were so friendly and accomodating - the front desk, the servers, the bartenders, the chef, everyone! I felt totally relaxed all weekend that even if something went wrong, it would be handled. Even after we checked out on Sunday, staff was there to help us when our friend got a flat tire. There were so many venues we spoke to with so many strict guidelines about timing, decor, alcohol, clean up etc. that I was stressed just talking to them - our experience at Magnolia was literally the opposite.

I know without a doubt that our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was if it wasn't at Magnolia and if Cheyenne wasn't our coordinator. It exceeded our vision of what we wanted for the weekend and our friends & family are still raving about it to us. It felt like a fairytale. Cannot recommend enough!!!

Our wedding at Magnolia Streamside Resort was incredible from start to finish. Cheyenne and crew were fantastic in facilitating and making our vision a reality. The food was amazing, local, fresh and had our guests raving. The venue itself was beautiful from the forest, river, and their new pavilion. The staff was friendly and professional. We loved being able to use the venue for the entire weekend with our bridal party and some of our guests before and after the wedding day. Would recommend Magnolia to any couple looking for venues, it was top notch. Thank you Magnolia!! Special shout out to Cheyenne who helped us so much along the way!

My husband and I just had our wedding on May 14th. From the first moment we entered the resort last year, we knew this was the perfect venue!

Cheyenne worked seamlessly with our wedding planner (Amanda at AMV Weddings) to make sure the day was everything we hoped for! Cheyenne does a great job of making sure the bride and groom are her top priority. We definitely felt like VIPs for our entire planning experience!

Cheyenne and the resort owners were also nice enough to allow us to have a “wingbearer” for our ceremony from Falconry Excursions in NY. In addition, the resort let the handlers to show a few birds during cocktail hour where guests could hold them and ask questions.

We’re so grateful for our gorgeous wedding and all the accommodations they provided! Oh, and did I mention the food was AMAZING? We definitely recommend having the pizza dinner the night before the wedding!

Our guests loved being able to let loose at the reception. Everyone who stayed at a cabin had a great time and enjoyed their drinks since they didn’t have to drive anywhere!

We would highly recommend a wedding at Magnolia’s. They made our day so special from the planning with Cheyenne to the hard work they put in to finish the outdoor pavilion for our wedding. We have had so many compliments on choosing this venue and many guests for our wedding wanted to come back to stay themselves. Cheyenne was a pleasure to work with during the planning process and made everything seamless while attending to details for us on the day of and beforehand. She gets things done and has your back 100% during the craziness of planning a wedding. Even though our wedding day ended up being chilly with rain, we didn’t even think about it because of how much fun we were having. Magnolia offers a unique and laid back approach to wedding planning and we loved that we were able to have the entire resort with our guests that stayed for the whole weekend. It helped ease the overwhelming need to talk to everyone at the actual reception and also helped our guests feel more comfortable and at home. We would recommend Magnolia for not only a wedding venue but for a weekend getaway to escape the craziness of the daily grind. We will be back for many anniversaries to come!!

Magnolia Streamside was amazing, it is beautiful and the people were super friendly and helpful. Cheyenne, the coordinator was so helpful and graceful. She handled everything without a hitch and was so open and engaging. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a intimate and more personal experience with their wedding planning! Thanks for making my wedding so perfect.

First, I’d like to start off by saying - I had my eyes on Magnolia since my now husband and I got engaged in August 2020. I wont lie.. I had a $500 deposit on another venue, but once I got in touch with Cheyanne ALL of my plans changed.
As a young girl, I always pictured an outdoor wedding, but it wasn’t until I saw the benched seating, ceremony arch in front of the water, and chandler hanging in Magnolia Streamside Resort ‘s chapel that I KNEW all my dreams were about to come true.
From my first phone call with Cheyanne, I knew without a doubt, this was someone I could work with for the next year of wedding planning. Her first question was “How did you and Keith meet, tell me about you guys...”
Out of almost 10 other venue visits... not once, were we asked how we got engaged or who we were as people.
Cheyenne made sure to understand what we wanted in a wedding. She studied my relationships, she picked up on my vibe, she was supportive, but not overwhelming. When I tell you, “this girl executed” this girl really freaking executed.
The venue:
Magnolia Streamside Resort is a rustic log cabin set up. It sleeps over 55 people right there on site. This gave us ample amount of space for our bridal party, family, and friends - not to have to worry about a ride home after an open bar. AND get this, we had full access Friday to Sunday.. that’s right, just people, I personally know staying at the resort. This allowed us to have our Rehearsal party and I mean PARTY the Friday night before the wedding, our wedding the Saturday of, and plenty of time to clean and pack up come Sunday morning.
Magnolia is laid out in a way that brings people together, but gives them the space to be free. We set up pong and corn hole in the courtyard, started a fire, and got drinks from the bar. The resort had a brick pizza oven, chairs laid out to sit by the stream, a tee-pee to visit, and hammocks galore. If you’re looking for a venue to scream peace and serenity - this is it.
Our wedding day:
The girls and I begun our day getting our hair and makeup done in Moss Cottage. Cheyenne was around bright and early working side by side with my maid of honor. They decorated the courtyard with party favors and table assignments, staged the bars, set beer up in a canoe, laid macrame and cheesecloth over the ceremony arch, and so much more. I was so amazed to see the creativity, determination, attentiveness - and not to mention a ray of sunshine coming from MY event coordinator. If I can give one piece of advise when picking a wedding venue-be sure to love your right hand girl like I do. I could go on for days- from the personalized champagne bottle at our sweetheart table, to the miscellaneous decor I threw in a box and Cheyanne found the most special location to place it, I honestly felt like the most cared for person in the room.
Post wedding weekend:
After a year of planning- man did it feel good to decompress and just simply enjoy being newlyweds. I’ll admit - I needed a social break, I got a cold, and sleep was my best friend - but my relationship with the resort didn’t end. I can faithfully say, I will be back to celebrate every anniversary and I have made a life long friend out of Cheyanne, the event staff, and Magnolia Streamside Resort.
With love-Keith and Kelli Howie

We had the most amazing wedding at Magnolia Streamside October of 2021! Pictures do not do this place justice for how unique, intimate and stunning it is! Our closest family and friends rented out the cabins for the weekend and made for a perfect "weekend wedding".

Can't say better things about Cheyenne, the wedding coordinator, who goes above and beyond her role to make your day absolutely perfect. She is a "yes" girl and will make things happen for you! Her and the staff are extremely flexible with your vision and make your wishes/wants come true. Cheyenne helped us create a menu that catered to our family/friends which included a pizza and kebab station. Everyone raved about how great the food was and what a cool experience to watch the chefs prepare your food! 

If you're looking for a "weekend wedding" with great, friendly, and exceptional staff, look no further. Cheyenne and Inna are an absolute pleasure to work with and this place will leave your guest talking about your wedding for months. Thank you. Magnolia! 

The most magical scenery, amazing food, and the BEST wedding coordinator there is!! Got married 9/25/21 and booked the entire campsite for the weekend so all our closest friends and family could stay. It was a unique experience for everyone involved. The scenery is like stepping into a fairytale. Cheyenne is a dream to work with. She truly cares so much about her couples and makes sure that they have the most incredible day/weekend of their lives. She is so attentive, so kind, so easy-going. I cannot recommend Magnolia enough!!!!

This place is truly amazing! I cannot stress enough how grateful I am to have found this venue for not only our ceremony/reception but our whole wedding weekend! The venue itself is gorgeous. It has this secluded atmosphere with a beautiful stream that runs through the resort which ensures the perfect setting for a more rustic feel. Our wedding turned out to be better than we could have even dreamed and it is entirely thanks to the amazing staff at Magnolia.

The owner, Inna, is such a warm-hearted person and she truly treats every couple like they are part of her family with the care and devotion she puts into ensuring your day is magical. Cheyenne is the event coordinator for the resort and calling this woman a godsend is an understatement! I CANNOT imagine having planned this wedding (during Covid no less) without her holding my hand the entire way. From start to finish she was by our side the entire way...from the beginning brainstorming to Covid complications and postponing craziness to the final stages of helping make our day perfect! As if having these two isn’t enough to be eternally grateful for the rest of their staff is just as incredible! The head chef did a superb job with the dinner and the waitstaff & bartenders were fantastic. Every one of them takes that extra step and cares about you and your guests as if you/they are their own family.

We now have so many happy memories of our special day and still have guests telling us how beautiful everything was. Magnolia truly delivers an experience far beyond your imagination that you will love remembering forever!

We had the most wonderful wedding at Magnolia Streamside Resort!!! It was so lovely working with their event planner, Cheyenne. She is an absolute doll and made every detail flawless. Magnolia made sooo many updates from the time we booked until the date of our wedding including their brand new wedding pavilion (which is gorgeous) and the wedding chapel’s quaint wooden benches. Our wedding vendors (photographer and florist) were beyond in love with the space and all the opportunity to incorporate their artistry. Our closest friends and family stayed onsite with us which was soo special to spend the entire weekend together. We hosted a pizza party/bonfire for our rehearsal dinner, breakfast for wedding party the morning of, our wedding ceremony and reception, and then post wedding brunch on Sunday. Every event was amazingly executed with delicious food and the bartenders were a joy and kept the drinks flowing. Partying in the woods with Magnolia was a dream come true. Just can not say enough about this special place

Magnolia is just simply amazing. I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed my my whole weekend here. Inna and every ounce of staff here are so wonderful! My husband and I got married here last week and I’m still in awe over how beautiful they made everything for us. Cheyanne first of all was a godsend, this women deserves all the praise. I don’t know how I would have planned this whole thing without her and she literally just took the little info I knew I wanted and ran with it turning it into the most beautiful thing. I seriously was blown away when I walked into my reception because quite frankly I wasn’t expecting it to be as perfect as it was. From the ceremony ( which they have a beautiful outside chapel on site ) to the reception in their main lodge and our stay the whole weekend in their cabins. I cannot stress enough how underrated this place is. No matter the occasion, or just a weekend getaway magnolia is where you wanna be!!

Magnolia was an amplifier for one of the most happiest days of our lives. There was something magical about this stunning venue and that magic was present everywhere, their gorgeous grounds, delicious food, impeccable service, and sincere love with which everything was done for us.

It was a wedding of a lifetime. Some guests called it “Miami meets Canadensis”, some guests nicknamed it “Country Hollywood Wedding”.
We had 160 guests from 6 different countries fly in and they all said it was the most unique wedding and venue they have ever been to. It was awesome to have all 6 cottages & suites to ourselves to accommodate the closest family & friends from overseas. The babbling creek, the staff and service was top-notch. Recommended additional live music entertainment & flower arrangements were just perfect, as well as photographer and video crew captured the entire wedding weekend. We also had horse & carriage bring us to the cocktail hour. They also helped us arrange dove release which was very special. Food was exceptional. Raw bar presented on a real canoe was simply incredible.
We had a Friday rehearsal dinner, Saturday wedding ceremony in the woods by the stream followed by reception in the main courtyard under an incredible clear tent as well as Sunday brunch with entertainment.
Thank you Magnolia team for creating a memory of a lifetime! Ksusha

We had our destination wedding weekend in September and it was the best weekend of our lives. Best service, top location, ceremony in the woods by the creek, dancing under the stars. The Magnolia team exceeded our expectations, Chayenne, event coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. We are very pleased with our choice and will definitely continue recommending this venue to future brides&grooms. James

Absolutely met and exceeded our expectations what a wonderful and beautiful venue we are so glad to say we have got married here. Our forever place we have become yearly vacationer's here and will continue come come back. Inna and her sister Oksana are absolutely wonderful people and of course Cheyenne our wedding planner helped us every step of the way. We cannot express our love and gratitude towards all three. To explain in a simple sentence what it was like to get married here. It was completely mystical magical experience that you could only dream of actually come to life.
Thanks again

The event team at Magnolia Streamside was instrumental in making our wedding last spring a success. Not only is the venue perfect (a beautiful woodsy retreat, surrounded by streams of water, birds chipping and an overall rustic-yet modern feel to the resort), but the management was so keen on listening to our needs, concerns and wishlist, that we could have not been happier with the service delivered. Their chef is amazing as well- Only gourmet, farm-to-table options at a fraction of the price you would pay in a wedding hall. The overall affair was elegant, understated and extremely intimate!

There aren't enough positive things to say about Magnolia Streamside Resort, their power-house of a coordinator Cheyenne, and the rest of their service staff. Upon our first visit, we sat down to chat before walking through and immediately clicked with Cheyenne. After a few minutes of seeing the outdoor ceremony space, and taking in the calming stream-side and lake setting, we asked to see the contract and ended up signing on the spot. Throughout the entire planning process, Cheyenne was attentive and helpful (her planning doc keeps everything so accessible and organized), and come the weekend of our wedding, she went above and beyond. The food all weekend was amazing, the bartenders and servers were pleasant and efficient, and we truly couldn't have been more pleased with how our entire weekend turned out. Finding vendors you trust can be hard, but we never had to second guess Magnolia. It was so clear that Cheyenne really cared about us, our families, and our guests, and I can't thank her & the rest of the Magnolia Team enough for making a stressful week so much easier for us. We can't wait to go back again next year and book a cabin for an anniversary weekend getaway in the most peaceful & special place!
