Saxon Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was very easy; they were always quick to respond to emails and phone calls with a friendly and helpful attitude. The venue itself is so pretty, with beautiful gardens and architecture that made a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. It was definitely worth the money to host our reception there. The staff at Saxon Manor went above and beyond for us on our special day - they were attentive to every detail, from the setup and decor to making sure my husband and I were well taken care of.

The Colonial at Sunset was an exceptional choice for our wedding venue. From start to finish, the team led by Britt was prompt, attentive, and incredibly flexible in accommodating any request we had. Their communication and responsiveness made the wedding planning process an absolute breeze - I was amazed at how they turned my initial ideas into a full, magical wedding experience in just 4 months. The venue itself is exceptionally beautiful, seamlessly blending old world charm with modern sparkle both online and in person. The all-inclusive package and their vetted vendor team made everything feel so seamless and integrated, taking the stress out of planning. As someone who hates event planning, they made it as easy as making a dinner reservation for me. I can't recommend The Colonial at Sunset highly enough - this hidden gem deserves every accolade for their exceptional quality of work and value.
