Best team!
From start to finish, our experience with this venue was exceptional. Planning our wedding from out of state should have been more stressful, but the entire team made it surprisingly easy. Communication was seamless, and they were always extremely responsive over email, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout the planning process. A special shoutout to Leeza, who was an absolute joy to work with. She was so cheerful, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Her customer service and attention to detail were top-notch. One thing to highlight that was incredibly personal and thoughtful was the tasting day. The food was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. We love Chef John! On the wedding day, the staff was so professional, kind, and everything ran on time to the minute. Everyone enjoyed the night and guests were able to enjoy themselves, which meant a lot to us. We are so grateful we chose to have our wedding at Makray. We couldn’t recommend this team, and venue more. A very unforgettable day.
An amazing experience!
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding! The event coordinators were absolutely wonderful to work with (shout out to Leeza, Laurie, and Stacey!!). From beginning of the process to the end, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The event space was a good size for our 150-guest wedding, with plenty of room while still feeling intimate. The food was delicious and received so many compliments from our guests. Everything came together seamlessly, and we’re so grateful to have chosen this venue for such an important day. Highly recommend!
Wonderful Experience
We can't say enough wonderful things about Makray. The entire team truly treats you like family and has a passion for making your wedding day everything you always wished it would be. Their kindness, and attention to detail, is next level. The food is delicious, and their preferred vendors are just as wonderful. Thank you Laurie, Leeza ,and Stacie for all you did for us. We appreciate you more than you know.
Great Team and Great Experience THANK YOU!
Planning a wedding requires great attention to detail and a lengthy and continuous process of paying attention to infinite details. The team of Laurie, Leeza and Chef Hennessy were tremendous partners during this process, and we cannot thank them enough for all their help and support. They were all OUTSTANDING! In addition, no matter how much planning you do there are always things that occur on the day of the wedding that are unforeseen. All our last-minute adjustments were handled efficiently, effectively and with great care! THANK YOU. The ceremony was outside on the lawn, and we loved the set-up and the space. The pictures from the ceremony really came out well and the ease of moving to the space upstairs was tremendously convenient. The room set-up was incredibly impressive with plenty of room for the dance floor, the coffee station, a kids table with activities and the cake cutting. The access to the outside patio was a real bonus for people to get a breath of fresh air and to enjoy the view overlooking the golf course. Finally, a big “hats-off” to the Chef and his team. The meal presentation and quality were great, and we would highly recommend the dessert station with ICE CREAM and the late- night snack option. The food was FABULOUS from start to finish. As the bride and groom, we were extremely pleased with the event from start to finish and were not surprised by the significant number of COMPLIMENTS we received from the attendees. Our favorite was the comment “You have now ruined it for every wedding I attend in the future, because this one was so good!”
