    My Dream Wedding

    Our experience with Maneeleys Banquet was truly like a dream come true, surpassing all we had hoped for. From the moment we stepped into the venue, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, ensuring that every detail was attended to with care.

    One of the standout aspects of our interaction was the impeccable service provided by the team. They were responsive and attentive, making us feel truly special on our big day. Even when we had last-minute requests, they handled them with grace and efficiency, leaving us stress-free to enjoy the celebration.

    While there were a few minor details that could be improved upon, such as some delays during the setup process, these were overshadowed by the overall fantastic experience we had at Maneeleys Banquet. The beautiful decor, delicious food, and seamless coordination truly made our wedding day unforgettable.

    In conclusion, we highly recommend Maneeleys Banquet for any couple looking to create magical memories on their special day. Despite a few hiccups along the way, the exceptional service and stunning venue more than made up for it. Thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond to make our wedding day truly perfect.

    Amazing, wonderful and magical doesn't even cover it.

    Where to begin, from Sandy's unwavering devotion to making our special day the most magical day of our lives, to the staff's attentiveness to us on the day. We had the most stress free experience planning our wedding because of the commitment Maneeley's provides to their couples. Even when the weather didn't want to cooperate the team at Maneeley's did their magic to still provide us with the most beautiful day. We will always remember our special day as the perfect day thanks to Maneeley's.

    Best Always

    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!

    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!!!!

    Oct 14th 2023 Maneelys Lodge

    Our experience with Maneelys was a great one. From booking the date and throughout the whole process to wedding day was very exceptional! Sandy and her staff was amazing! They made it very easy and helped relieve any stress we had along the way. We cannot thank them enough for putting our vision together and making it a very memorable day for us and our family and friends.

    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!

    An amazing, stress-free and quality venue!!

    This venue is beautiful, rustic and charming. The Maneeley's staff goes above and beyond to ensure they are providing the best experience possible. They are flexible, accommodating, and organized. They supply decorations and take care of decorating day of, having a built in wedding coordinating for the day of takes a lot of stress off the couple. Maneeleys includes all the details and items for one price, so you know what you will be spending upfront. Maneeley's was always responsive and made sure they understood your vision. I have nothing but positive feedback for this venue, and absolutely would recommend them to anyone!

    The Best Day Of Our Lives

    9/23/23 will forever be my favorite day thus far and we can attribute this to the amazing staff of Maneeleys and especially to Sandy. She is quick to respond, professional and genuinely cares for each bride! We booked 2 years in advance and she remembered us and showed genuine care and enthusiasm for our day. We wanted a venue that didn’t make us feel like we were just another wedding coming through the doors and Maneeleys made us feel special. Sandy works hard to help make your day everything you want. The food is outstanding with large portion sizes and the only venue I have ever been to that does a first course salad AND pasta. We loved that our guests were full and happy! Our whole day ran smooth and timing was perfect! We were exactly on the timeline we created with Sandy and never once did it feel like we were rushing around. The day was just PERFECT.

    Michelle,
    Thank you so so much for such a nice review! It was our pleasure to work with you! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful. Wishing you all the happiness and love!

    Sandy and the rest of the staff at Maneeley’s made us feel better every time we met with them during the planning process, which was especially impressive because we were coordinating most of it from out of state.
