“We had our wedding at Saxon Manor on March 13th, and somehow what’s “supposed” to be an unlucky day turned into the most perfect and lucky day for us. From the moment we started planning, the entire team at Saxon Manor made the experience feel easy, organized, and genuinely exciting instead of overwhelming. Having an all-inclusive venue made such a difference, and every single person involved went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we hoped for. Our coordinator, Kaley, was truly the heart of it all. She helped us pick decorations, answered all of my questions with so much patience, and made sure every little detail came together beautifully. On the wedding day she kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes so we could just be present and enjoy the moment. She even packed us to-go boxes of food so we wouldn’t miss out on dinner — such a small but incredibly thoughtful gesture that meant so much. The food was absolutely amazing. Our guests are still talking about it! The chef did such an incredible job and every dish received rave reviews throughout the night. DJ Beezy kept the energy exactly where it needed to be all evening. The dance floor stayed full and the atmosphere was so fun and joyful — exactly what we wanted for our celebration. Our photographer, Shawna, was also incredible. She was so thorough and intentional throughout the day, but what meant the most was how she checked in on Austin and me when things started to feel overwhelming. Those small moments of care made such a big difference and reminded us to slow down and soak everything in. We also worked with Westover’s Flowers next door, and they absolutely nailed our vision. The flowers were delivered right on time and were so beautiful — they tied everything together perfectly and made the space feel magical. Our cake and desserts from Pam at Edible Pleasures were another huge highlight. Her baking was so delicious that guests were literally fighting over the leftovers at the end of the night! Most importantly, the entire Saxon Manor staff made us feel so supported and taken care of the entire day. Everything ran so smoothly and we truly felt like we could relax and enjoy every moment with our friends and family. We couldn’t have asked for a better place or a better team to trust with such an important day. Friday the 13th has always been and will always be a lucky day for us, and we will forever be grateful to Saxon Manor and all the wonderful vendors who helped make it unforgettable.”
