Choosing Samuel’s as our venue was the best decision we ever made. Right from the beginning we fell in love with the space, we even moved our wedding date up from October to August so we could take full advantage of the outdoor fountain bar. There are no words to be able to fully describe how wonderful working with Mark was – he answered all of our questions, took us on as many tours as we wanted, and really made us feel confident in our decision. The planning process was very stress-free on our end which made it so much easier to enjoy. Renea was our captain on the day of and thanks to her everything ran so smoothly and on schedule. She took my scribbles of centerpieces and transformed the space into something more beautiful than I could have imagined. I spent the whole day on-site thanks to the beautiful bridal suite, which helped our timeline significantly, and provided a quiet space to be able to relax and take in every moment. Bonus – there was a groom’s suite as well! Samuel’s worked seamlessly with our other vendors as well and we were able to drop off our items earlier in the week so there was one less thing to worry about the weekend of. Then there was the food – absolutely incredible. From the cocktail hour appetizers to the main courses, everything was perfectly timed and delicious. They even accommodated our request to have some of the cocktail hour appetizers brought to the bridal suite so we could have a moment to ourselves and enjoy the food as well. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding day and we owe it all to the team at Samuel’s!

Where do I begin with how ecstatic we were with our wedding experience with Marygold Manor?! Let's start from our first encounter with Marygold. I emailed the venue inquiring about dates and details for our wedding. Jeremy, the owner, responded back so quickly and was willing to work with us to come in and meet him and see the venue. He was so professional, helpful, open, and understanding. It was an easy choice. Marygold Manor is where our wedding had to be. Jeremy was so easy to work with and even met with us multiple times before the wedding to finalize all the details. Besides Marygold having a beautiful facility and being in a central location (near the airport and thruway) for our guests to easily travel to, the venue also offers unbelievably, amazing wedding deals. We chose the "Ultimate Wedding Package" with 100 guests. Literally, they do everything for you! You can pick and choose of course, if you would like to bring in outside options (like your own DJ, centerpieces, etc.), but why would you when they do such a wonderful job at taking care of everything! So much less stress on the bride and groom. Our officiant, DJ, photographer, videographer, and photo booth were all included. They also take care of your centerpieces, linens, lighting, and card box. And as for your food.... chef's kiss! They provided a variety of appetizers for cocktail hour, cooked a delicious, delectable dinner of filet mignon and chicken piccata, and even had extra treats for later in the night; a chocolate fondue fountain and mini pulled pork sliders! And... they even did our cake! I brought in decor for them to add to the cake, and they made my vision come true. And don't worry, if you have any dietary restrictions, Marygold has a vegetarian, gluten free dinner option as well. Plus, we had a 5 hour top shelf bar! A-MAZ-ING! Since we chose the wedding package, we saw how Jeremy and his staff are a well-oiled machine. From the officiant, to the photographer, to the kitchen staff and the servers, everyone worked so well together and knew exactly what to do and followed our schedule to a tee. Jeremy was also our DJ, so he understood our taste in music and knew exactly what to play and when to play it. He blew me away when he added the song, "Be Our Guest" at dinner time, since our theme was based on "Beauty and the Beast". That was the cherry on top! I could go on and on about how personable and talented our photographer, Bruce was. I could explain how on point and perfect our officiant was. I could continue to explain how hardworking and awesome Jeremy was. I could talk your ear off about how the Marygold staff really can make your special occasion even more special than you could every imagine. If you need more convincing, please check out Marygold's website and call today. You won't regret it! We are so overwhelmingly happy that we chose Marygold Manor as our venue for our wedding. We will never forget how they helped us make it an unforgettable, fantastic, epic night! THANK YOU MARYGOLD!
