Couldn't have been better!

Maneeleys was the first venue tour planned of many in our search to find our perfect wedding spot, when we visited this location and met with Sandy we immediately fell in love! Sandy is so in-depth and truly cares about each individual wedding and couple! Sandy sold us immediately on the venue with her passion and all that the venue had to offer that we cancelled the rest of our venue tours and booked our wedding the same day!

I truly cannot complain about one thing... The food was amazing, our guests raved about the food and several told us that it was the best food they have had at a wedding. The portions and quality were beyond my expectations....The decorations and cake being all included and personalized made wedding planning SO SO SO easy. This took SO much stress off of my plate.... The venue is so beautiful and I loved the options for the different ceremony locations.
Sandy is truly the best, very knowledgeable and so accommodating!

Most businesses make you feel like a transaction, this was not the case. Sandy and The Team made my wedding day so special and memorable, truly a day that I will never forget! They know what they are doing! 100/10 would recommend. I am hoping that I have a family member or friend book their wedding here in the future so that I can experience the venue as a guest and reminisce on the best day of my life!

We couldn’t have had a better day!

As a type A bride, finding an affordable, flexible and beautiful venue was a high priority, and we found that and much more with Sandy and her team at Maneeleys! From each email or call or meeting, Sandy was always responsive, understanding and an amazing resource! She always answered questions, asked questions and guided us to have our best day! The venues beauty speaks for itself, but the whole package made it perfect! Chris, our day of attendant was an absolute doll, helping clean the mud off my dress and always being there if I needed something! Our day could not have gone any better and we are so thankful that Maneeleys was such a huge part and help with that!

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 add some personal touches & they did the rest. The food was phenomenal and they gave us the recommendations for both our DJ & photographer so that was another me thing quickly checked off our list. And the day of our wedding went so seemlessly… they just have a rhythm for how the day goes it was smooth as butter and we had such a blast on top of that!!! I genuinely wish we could do our wedding day over and over again because they made it THAT perfect for us🥹. 10/10 recommend this location for easy breezy and HIGH quality wedding planning!!!!

I absolutely love to work at Maneeley's Banquets! The property has two beautiful rooms which offer their own unique style for receptions and the grounds are well groomed for ceremonies and a variety of photo opportunities. The menu options are delicious and well prepared. I applaud the owner, Bruce and the banquet manager, Sandy for going above and beyond the norm for their clients and their vendors!
