Our wedding at Saxon Manor’s Boho Venue was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived to the final moments of our celebration, every detail felt whimsical, intentional, and beautifully curated. Danielle, our wedding coordinator, was truly exceptional. Her guidance and support began long before our wedding day and carried seamlessly through every moment of the event. She was organized, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. I truly don’t think the day would’ve went as effortlessly without her. My mother passed shortly before our wedding and every staff member carried my partner and I through this time in such a genuine grace. Support and generosity like that is truly difficult to find these days. Danielle is such a rare talent gem - As well as the rest of the staff at Saxon Manor. From the Manor cat to the maintenance staff. Everyone is absolutely welcoming. The culinary experience was just as memorable. The chef created an incredible dishes that our guests are still talking about! Everything was absolutely delicious. The floral arrangements by Enchanted Florist were breathtaking—each piece felt like something out of a dream. The flowers elevated the entire atmosphere and brought the vision of our wedding to life in the most stunning way. Dj Ricky was phenomenal! He’s the kind of guy you can’t go without! As a last minute gesture to my partner and I, he stepped in as our officiant. We’re forever grateful for him & his genuine support for my partner and I. Ricky made our day that much more special! Kristen - our wedding photographer with Every Magic Moment! Stellar talent! She is so kind & made sure to capture every detail and moments we missed! Absolutely wonderful woman! With a honest passion for her work! Our guests continue to rave about how intimate, beautiful, and unforgettable the entire experience was. Saxon Manor truly operates with heart and professionalism.
