    The perfect day!

    My husband and I recently had our wedding at Maneeley's, and we truly cannot say enough good things about our experience! From the initial tour to the final send-off, everything went smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day.

    Sandy and her team were absolutely amazing! They were so easy to work with and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. Sandy listened to our vision and exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and she puts her heart into each wedding she coordinates. We never felt like we were just another couple – she made our day...

    Maneeley’s is the perfect venue!!

    Maneeley’s was one of the best choices we made when it came to our wedding. They were excellent from start to finish. They did everything for us, from decorating to cleaning up to loading our car at the end of the night! The food was excellent. The staff were all amazing, they were extremely helpful and they went above and beyond to make our experience great. Sandy worked with us directly and she was heaven sent. She has been doing this for years she knows what she’s doing and it shows. She was always available and if she didn’t have an answer she would get back to us extremely fast with a solution to any question that I had....

    Beautiful Summer Wedding Reception

    We had our wedding reception at Maneeley's in July of 2024, and they were amazing. The staff go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and everyone is taken care of. The grounds were gorgeous for photo opportunities. The space is very accessible as well. Since we booked the venue in summer of 2023, we have always felt that we were in excellent hands with Sandy and the rest of the staff. Sandy answered every question that we had and was flexible with how we wanted our event to go. One of the main things we loved about Maneeley's that helped us decide on this venue over some of our other options was that it includes the...

    All My Dreams Came True!

    We were so happy with our wedding day on June 1st! From the beginning, Sandy was responsive and helpful in the planning process! She has so much experience and it was very helpful to ask her opinion on certain planning topics. All of our guests loved the food and everything throughout the night ran smoothly! Sandy worked with all of our vendors to coordinate setup and delivery so it was out of my hands which was great! Christine was an amazing attendant for the bridal party and we couldn’t have asked for a better day!

    Beyond perfection!

    Sandy and the team at Maneeley’s made our dream wedding come to life, and in record time!! My new husband and I decided in July that we wanted to get married November of this year (2023) and Maneeley’s was the perfect one stop shop. They answered any and all of our questions or concerns and made sure we stayed on task so that everything we needed to get done was done before our big day so there was little to no stress!! They took on all of the “stressful” stuff for us so we could just enjoy the process and that we did! They had SO much decor already available for us to use that all we did was...

    We had a wonderful experience using Maneeley’s. We loved that a lot of the decor and service is included in their pricing- very transparent pricing and affordable. You aren’t sacrificing quality for affordability. They helped us and our guests have a great day! Thanks Maneeley’s!!

    Best day ever

    Maneeleys gave us our dream wedding! Everything I envisioned and wanted, Sandy was always one step ahead of us and made everything better than I even imagined. She ensured the day went smoothly and was extremely responsive, always quick to relieve any anxiety I had. The venue was gorgeous and the staff was extremely attentive to us and all our guests throughout the night. We have guests still telling us how much they enjoyed the food and venue. We couldn’t be happier with Maneeleys and Sandy, truly the best night of our lives.

    Best day ever!

    Maneeleys made everything so easy and made our day the best ever. Sandy and her team took my vision and brought it to life. I was relaxed the entire day and all my guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I would 1000% recommend Maneeleys to anyone getting married in the area!

    October 2022

    Sandy and her team went above and beyond to help make our wedding day magical! We were so happy to have found Maneeley’s during our venue search- the Lodge is gorgeous, the grounds are beautifully maintained and the food is delicious. If we had to plan it all again we wouldn’t change a thing!

    Wedding at Maneeley's October 2022

    Sandy and her team at Maneeley's are awesome! We not only decided to go with Maneeley's for our wedding due to the beautiful venue and how inclusive their package is, but because we would be working with Sandy. From the start she has been very informative, quick to respond, and answered all of our questions. Sandy and her team made sure that everything went smoothly and our day turned out amazing! They definitely helped relieve some stress of wedding planning. Their food is amazing as well. You will not be disappointed! :)

    A truly wonderful experience

    We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Maneelys is a beautiful venue, and the staff specifically Sandy the coordinator and Christine our Maitre d for the night are incredible. Sandy made our planning process a walk in the park, and Christine made sure we were happy all night long. Love them both! Our wedding was the best night of our lives.

    Love maneeleys

    We could not have asked for a better caterer for our wedding, I would choose Maneeley's over and over for a catering service for any event. The food was PHENOMENAL, not only did we love it but our guests are still talking about how great the food was weeks after. Bruce and Sandy are the sweetest people you could hope would help with your wedding, it feels like you've known them for years even if it's just a short time. They only want what's best for you and to make your event everything YOU want. Their wait staff was also so efficient and friendly with everyone. I was just so happy with how everything came together. Thank you guys so much!

    Best money we ever spent :)

    I knew from the moment we stepped on the property, that we had found our venue! Sandy was absolutely the best coordinator; super responsive, informative and caring. The entire staff was delightful and went above and beyond before and during the wedding. You get such a value for your money between the great quality of the food, the included decor and the beautiful grounds. Highly recommend Maneeley's.

    Maneeley's was amazing

    I can't say enough and rave about Maneeleys, from start to finish, we started planning our wedding with Maneeleys in august of 2020. sandy was so responsive to any questions I had over the last 2 years. Sandy and all the staff a Maneeleys went above and beyond to make our wedding day run so smooth this past Saturday. And Adam and I couldn't thank you guys enough for everything you guys did. The decorations were amazing, the food was delicious. Our guests raved about the food and how beautiful the venue was. We are very happy we chose maneeleys for our venue. Thank you all again for everything you did during our special day.

    Just say yes!

    We originally had our venue picked for somewhere else and Maneeleys as our caterer. Once the pandemic hit the first venue did not contact us at all regarding our wedding date which was due to take place in less than 4 months. That being said, we cancelled and called Sandy and Bruce immediately and asked to move our date with them. They both were happy to do so and amazing every step of the way to ensure our day was perfect. The ease of having our day there was made so simple. They provided most decorations and any questions we had responded almost immediately. If I could give them more stars I would. They definitely made our day a fairytale.

    AMAZING venue!! Loved it for our wedding!!

    My husband and I got married at Maneeley’s almost 2 months ago and seriously, we couldn’t recommend it any more—it was truly the best day of our lives! Sandy and Rebecca were amazing coordinators and the staff were so helpful and friendly leading up to as well as on the day-of! The way they decorated the Lodge was stunning, all of our guests couldn’t get over how pretty it was! And the food…everything was AMAZING! Cooked to perfection, we got so many compliments! Couldn’t recommend Maneeley’s any higher…we loved every minute of it! You will not regret booking Maneeley’s!!

    Stress Free

    Both Rebecca and Sandy are amazing! They're very responsive, and definitely have a well formed rhythm in all the things they do. My husband and I had less than a 4 month timeline, all of which my now husband was long distance for. I knew it was the perfect place, especially because they do all the decorating in house or very closely with their own decorator and bakery. With the help MJ Decor and Modern Pastry, they made sure our day was perfect. They know their stuff, and know very well what works in their space while also making sure your vision comes out exactly how you want it. Christine was with me all day and was awesome. In...

    NYE 2021 Wedding!

    Maneeley's was a perfect place for our wedding! It was awesome working with Sandy and Bruce and the entire Maneeley's staff. They treat their staff very well and everyone there helps make your wedding night super special! The lodge was absolutely beautiful - they did a perfect job decorating both the inside and outside. Everyone loved the food and the atmosphere. They were very flexible with dietary restrictions. Both Sandy and Bruce were extremely accommodating throughout the wedding planning process and went out of their way to make certain things happen. Our perfect wedding night came to life with the help of the entire Maneeley's family. We would highly recommend and encourage anyone looking to have a wedding (or really any event) to check them out!

    Truly a dream!

    Highly recommend The Grand Lodge at Maneeley’s! It gives you the rustic barn feel without the barn! So much is included and available for you to use for decor like (lanterns, wood slabs, rustic signs, & so much more). Sandy and Rebecca are attentive and truly have the ability to make your vision come alive!

    The perfect venue!

    We knew from the moment we stepped foot in the Grand Lodge that it was exactly what we were looking for! The grounds at Maneeley's are absolutely beautiful and the Grand Lodge was the rustic romantic venue that we wanted. They are very reasonably priced, served outstanding food, and had so much more included in their wedding package compared to the other venues that we looked at. The staff was awesome! Sandy was absolutely amazing to work with, she was so helpful and was always responsive to our questions and concerns, from our first meeting to the wedding day, she was great!

    Could not have asked for more!

    Sandy, Bruce, Monique - all literal angels on Earth. I could not have asked for a more amazing wedding day. Sandy was amazing over the last year with every single detail I told her - she took notes, had pics and put my vision more to life than I could have ever imagined. Bruce was on top of every single situation that was happening on my wedding day - from the ride in his vehicle when it started raining, to running out and getting the boys high noons when he say that’s what they were drinking, to letting my hubby taste test the food. Monique - omg this girl is a freakin rockstar! She knew what I wanted before...

    More than a typical venue

    I had my eyes set on the grand lodge at Maneeleys since before I was even engaged so when my big day came, naturally I ran here. This was the best decision I made for my big day. Sandy and Bruce were nothing short of amazing. Sandy really made the planning process a breeze, even during a pandemic which says ALOT. The venue is stunning, the staff is superb (especially “G” who was my right hand man the day of and was the absolute best), and the food is to die for! The pricing is the best around for everything you get, you truly can’t beat it. Maneeleys has a special place in my heart and I’m so happy we were married here and got to know Sandy, Bruce, and G.

    Best Decision We Could Have Made
