Jessica was very helpful with making sure we had everything that we needed for our special day. She answered all of our questions and was easy to get ahold of.
First off my husband and I love going to Madeline's for lunch/dinner! So we when we were planing our wedding, it was not a hard choice to pick them! Jessica was wonderful to work w...
ith!! She listened to everything we wanted and more! She made it all go smooth!! She worked with us on the food and drinks to make it how we wanted it!! The staff Jessica gave us to work my wedding was amazing !! Everyone was so helpful! We got married outside, but then had to move it inside due to Weather and Jessica made sure I still got the wedding we wanted!! I couldn't be happier with having my Wedding at Madeline's. They also have a trailer you can rent for the weekend! Which is very nice in side! I had my whole family, plus my bridesmaids in there we all got ready together!
I cannot say enough good things about Madeline's - they were AMAZING! The owner, Jessica, was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of my (many) questions. They had so many opti...
ons for making our wedding best fir our budget and vision which was so nice. Jessica and her staff members were also lifesavers on the day of our wedding, helping us respond to weather surprises and shifting from outdoors to indoors (both are gorgeous options at this venue!)
The staff was SO friendly and proactive all night. They even had our signature drinks and some appetizers at our sweetheart table for us for when we returned from cocktail hour - so thoughtful! Everyone we interacted with was friendly, helpful, & eager to make our day special!
The food was so spectacular!! All of our guests were raving about it! And our guests with special diets (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and kids meals) were all accommodated and also had delicious dinners!
Our day was absolutely perfect and we wholeheartedly recommend Madeline's!
Absolutely beautiful venue with the sweetest staff that are sure to make your day perfect! The food was amazing and every guest was impressed at how beautiful the location is. Our...
wedding was a dream come true!
We had our rehearsal dinner and reception at Madeline's and had the best time! We had about 80 guest attend. We chose the inside option although the outside was just as beautiful. ...
Jessica was so accommodating and responsive to us. She was also very flexible with our plans. Being a very organized bride, she made it very easy to feel relaxed on the wedding day because I knew everything was taken care of. Everything on their end was organized and exactly how we wanted it! Everyone in attendance had so much fun!
The owners are wonderful! So incredibly accommodating. We had to move the wedding inside the day before the wedding (due to rain) and everything went off without a hitch. I cannot ...
recommend them enough.
This place is AMAZING! First of all, the scenery is gorgeous. The arch in on the lawn out back overlooks a pond and will look beautiful in any season (my wedding was in autumn). Th...
ere are both indoor and outdoor options for ceremonies and receptions, and the venue comes prepared for both options, including tents. Second of all, the venue is super customizable. I made my own decorations and we hung them up around the reception space the night before the wedding. The tables in the dining area can be pushed together or pulled apart so they can be as big or as little as you want. We had the exact number of chairs that we needed for guests outside during the ceremony. I made cupcakes for our wedding, and the staff set up our dessert table (we were allowed to leave the cupcakes there overnight so we had one less thing to worry about). The sound system was great, and we just hooked up a phone to play our music both inside for the reception and outside for the ceremony. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Jessica. She is a lifesaver! The dessert is the only outside food you can bring in, but that was fine because the food was so delicious! The menu was customizable too (can be made gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.), and we chose the buffet-style option and picked 5 foods to be served. We also had an apple cider and hot chocolate bar, but they have more bar options available. The price for the venue is very affordable, but the main price point comes from the food (which is well worth it, in my opinion). There are several places for the wedding party to put their belongings and get ready, including a poker room. Overall it was a super wonderful experience and I'm so glad that our minimalist fantasy-inspired wedding was successful!
My husband and I had our wedding at Madeline's in June 2022. We 100% recommend this venue to anyone who is having a wedding! Pricing was very reasonable for what we wanted, which w...
as amazing. Communication was always easy and fast. Jessica answered all of the questions that we had from when we signed the contract to the very day of the wedding. They were also so flexible! We changed our minds a couple of times on what we wanted, like renting the Airbnb last minute and they were SO accommodating! They made the process very stress free. The venue outside was absolutely beautiful in front of the large pond, willow trees, and gorgeous white tents. It was a great sunny day on June 4th and everything went so smoothly. And the FOOD!!! The lemon chicken was SO tender. They were cooking the food while the ceremony and festivities were going on so everything was SO fresh. The vegetables were amazing and so many of our guests told us how tasty the potatoes were. I cannot say enough great things about this place!! It was everything we wanted. A beautiful outdoor wedding of our dreams.
Our wedding was September 26, 2021. Jessica worked with us to move the reception to the pond seating area the week of the wedding. Any questions we had were answered in a timely ma...

te a memorable and personable night. The food was delicious, service was efficient, and the transition from inside the restaurant to outside (with an outside bar and pond seating) was seamless. This venue is not only affordable but it is classy, relaxed, AND everyone I spoke with was so flexible. Without hesitation, we recommend booking, or at the very least, dining at this restaurant.
