Let me start by saying that Magnolia Manor is a beautiful, well-maintained venue and B&B. Ultimately, we had a great wedding and look back fondly. We rented the B&B for the weekend, our ceremony was in the garden and the reception was in the pavilion. It was all beautiful! However, the staff was subpar. The owner and coordinator was great leading up to the wedding but was totally absent for most of the weekend. My non-bridesmaid friend ended up being the one to check that everything was done and to fix whatever wasn't correct. She did a lot of work on wedding day that should have been the owner's responsibility. I felt like she was more concerned about her vendors than she was about me and my husband. The ceremony director that was included in the venue package didn't listen to me and made the rehearsal a very stressful, frustrating experience. She was kind of pointless. The DJ (also included in the package) gave off weird vibes and made some guests uncomfortable. If I had known how much we were being charged for him, I would've just made a playlist myself. We opted out of the included photographer and used our own. The chef (also the co-owner) was the nicest, most flexible person there,...
Read moreHands 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...
Read moreIn 2021, my husband and I planned a wedding at Magnolia Manor. Three weeks before our scheduled date, my husband was in an accident and we had to cancel last minute. Despite having to cancel and with a lot of uncertainty, JoAnn and her staff allowed us time for my husband to heal and return home and still be able to have our event at a later date! Not only did they accommodate us, but the event was absolutely beautiful! We have a lot of family in New Jersey and many of them stayed in the Manor before/after our event. Accommodations were wonderful and our guests were very pleased. I would recommend Magnolia Manor to anyone planning a wedding/event. Food, photography, videography, bartenders and DJ were all inclusive which makes it very easy to plan. Location is beautiful with several options...
