Magnolia Manor is the best! From the beautiful oak trees to the comfortable setting, everything is perfect at the venue. One of my favorite things about the venue itself is the flow of the spaces. While the cocktail space and reception space are their own entities, they flow seamlessly and make it easy to move between the two spaces throughout the day/night. On top of the venue being beautiful Lauren and her team are amazing! They made my wedding day so stress-free and easy. I put full trust in her and the Magnolia Manor team to set up how they believed it would be best and they took care of all the small details. From bustling my dress to making sure we were at the right place at the right time, Lauren made sure everything was perfect. One thing I had multiple guest mention was the flow of the day feeling so relaxed. While the timeline was set in place and followed, if things popped up, everyone was flexible and quickly edited the timeline to make the day flow and not feel rushed. The day was absolutely perfect! THANK YOU!

We are so happy we chose Magnolia Manor for our wedding! The venue is beautiful, the vendors they recommended/work with were amazing, and we couldn't have asked for a better day. Lauren was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing! Along with the rest of her team. She was so professional, organized, understanding, and helpful. My wedding was stress free the day of thanks to her and I am so thankful for everything she did. I could not recommend this venue enough.

A Perfect Wedding Venue – Truly Above and Beyond!
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. From the moment we first visited the venue, we knew it was something special. The space itself is stunning, with beautiful scenery, providing the perfect backdrop for our wedding and the photos.
What truly set this venue apart was the team. They were incredibly organized, and professional, and genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable. We did the Silver package and they (including vendors) took care of everything. From answering our questions to ensuring every detail was exactly as we envisioned. They went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating special requests like letting us do Karaoke. The planning process felt smooth and stress-free, and on the big day, everything ran seamlessly. They were incredibly helpful and continued to be responsive months after the wedding had already happened.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking beauty with outstanding service, I can’t recommend Magnolia Manor and its team enough. Thank you for helping us create memories that we’ll treasure forever!

As soon as we had a tour at Magnolia Manor, we knew this was the perfect place for us to get married. Everything we needed for ceremony and reception is included in the packages, such as tables, chairs, the bar, Groom's den, bridal suite, ceremony arch, etc. Lauren and her team answered any and all questions we had leading up to the big day. The bridal suite is absolutely gorgeous and you will feel like a princess in a fairytale, which is how I felt getting ready for my wedding there. Serene , beautiful, and well-kept property make the perfect backdrop for pictures. We loved the bridge leading up to the ceremony; very emotional. A lot of the vendors Lauren recommended all said such positive remarks about the venue and it was nice that they were familiar with Magnolia Manor.

There aren’t enough words to describe my love of this venue and Lauren. To start off, every single vendor recommended from her was PERFECT. She made planning so much easier and was always there to help. Then comes the wedding day. Everything you could imagine messing up did. The florist threw away my flowers, Lauren handled it. 105 degrees, handled it. It rained despite not calling for it the whole month, handled it. I brought buckets of things for her and she used them all to bring my vision to life and make it so much better than I could’ve imagined. All of my guests have been raving about the venue even now a month later. Truly not enough words to express my gratitude.

Magnolia Manor delivered on everything you would expect in a wedding venue plus more. Lauren Russell who runs it, is absolutely on top of her game. She and her staff were an absolute delight to work with. The wedding venue was beautifully decorated, the staff were very professional and the atmosphere was truly romantic. Our daughter had the wedding of her dreams. I will be recommending Magnolia Manor to all of our friends who are looking not only for a wedding venue but a venue that can host other events as well.

Magnolia Manor was one of my very first venues I toured two years ago. From the moment I arrived to the venue I instantly knew that this beautiful place was it! I met with Lauren that day and she was absolutely amazing. She was very kind, honest and open. She wasn't just selling the venue, like most people I've met during the process of choosing a venue. She was very personable and we had honest conversations. Lauren made me feel that my ideas were important and at the end of the day its about us no matter where we get married. After leaving the venue that day, I knew that Magnolia Manor was the one. At that point it was just about choosing a date and seeing where we were financially.
In October of 2023, we decided to get finally get married. I reached out to Lauren, and we chose our date. 02/24/2024 Lauren made the planning process very easy. She was very informative, quick to answer emails, and always willing to listen. She definitely made the process less stressful for me, as I was stressing over the little things. Lauren made me feel very confident that all would be okay, and it would be a beautiful day. On wedding day 02/24/2024, everything was absolutely beautiful and it was everything I had hoped for. Lauren and her team made my wedding dreams come true, and I can not thank them enough. If your looking into Magnolia Manor, don't hesitate. I promise you Lauren and her team will make your wedding dreams come true.

Lauren and Amanda went above and beyond. I was so nervous of how the day was going to turn out, especially since a mini hurricane was rolling through. and it exceeded my expectations. They were both so nice, professional, and supportive. They continuously checked in with me day of to see if I needed anything or suggestions/concerns with decor. I loved how on top and organized they were. The venue is absolutely stunning. Although I didn’t get to have my ceremony on the island due to the weather, it was still such a beautiful wedding. I wish I could relive the day rain and all! If you’re thinking about having your wedding or any event here, do it!

Once you drive through the gates at Magnolia Manor you’re going to know it’s the venue for you! The entire venue from the private island ceremony space to the beautiful covered reception area- everything is thought out and flows beautifully. You will not find a better venue on the treasure coast. There is sooo much included in the packages they offer not to mention how reasonably priced it is! Lauren and her team are absolutely amazing from answering any and all questions through text message/ email and always willing to schedule meetings throughout the planning process. Lauren has amazing recommendations for vendors and will steer you in the right direction! I had my dream wedding thanks to the gorgeous venue that Magnolia manor is as well as Lauren and her team!! The wedding day was seamless!

If you are between magnolia manor and an another venue let me just make the choice for you now.. magnolia manor will make your every dream come true. My husband and I got married at this magnificent venue 1/27/24. From the time we visited for the first time to the end of my wedding night the staff will make you feel like a king and queen. They will cater to your every need big or small. I left feeling like Lauren (the head of operations) was apart of my family. She answered every single text and was there from me from the beginning even if I was a bridezilla! I will truly miss her as she made me feel like a princess. The venue has an absolutely gorgeous space for a ceremony which we called “the island” paired with a breathtaking cocktail hour and reception area. I had guests tell me they felt like they were in a hallmark movie! The bridal suite was something out of a fairytale, with several stations for you and your girls to get ready in (the PERFECT photo op.) I watched my guests file in from upstairs and it was such a surreal feeling that I could not get anywhere else. Again, I would like to sincerely like to thank Lauren Russell and the rest of the staff for making a notoriously stressful day, a breeze. Do not go anywhere else! This is your dream wedding venue trust me!

I instantly fell in love with the venue and the price was reasonable compared to other venues. My only issue was with the Coordinator and how she communicated to both me and my party. I almost requested someone else to work with because I didn’t like how she spoke to me and my DJ when we visited the venue to do a walk through of The venue. Other than that, we and our guests love this gem.

The pond, the fire pit, the green wall, the bar. It’s all done beautifully. This property is so versatile and can be used for all different types of events. Lauren and her team were amazing to work with. They really went above and beyond to make this day perfect. The dream team no doubt. I’m so happy I chose them for my daughter’s special day.

HIGHLY recommend! Besides being an absolutely beautiful venue, Lauren and her staff at Magnolia Manor were amazing to work with - from our very first introductory email, to venue visits, phone calls, and everything in between - it was all seamless. Lauren was our main point of contact throughout the planning process - her responses were thorough and timely. The check-ins leading up to our big day were great and helped to make sure we were on track. She finalized all the details with our vendors the week of, which made the wedding week a lot less stressful for us!!!
The Magnolia staff have thought of everything and were very attentive to details. Our wedding was perfect and we cannot thank them enough!

Recently got married 11-12-23 and couldn't have chosen a more perfect location. Between the location, the ambiance, and the staff there, it truly was an amazing experience. Thank you so much to Lauren for all of your hard work coordinating everything before, during, and after the ceremony. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for that fairytale wedding, as their attention to detail and desire to make it the best day of our lives was their top priority.

Our experience at Magnolia Manor was truly unforgettable, thanks to the exceptional team that made our wedding day absolutely magical.
Firstly, Lauren, the coordinator, was an absolute gem throughout the entire planning process. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. She ensured that every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly, and her guidance was invaluable.
Amanda, Lauren's assistant, was also incredibly helpful and attentive, making sure that everything ran smoothly on the day of the event. Her support was greatly appreciated.
Tina, the photographer, deserves special praise for her remarkable talent and patience. She captured the most beautiful moments with such artistry, taking the time to understand our vision and making my wife and daughter feel at ease throughout the entire photoshoot.
Lastly, Reverend Robin officiated our ceremony with grace and warmth, making the moment even more special with her kind words and presence.
The venue itself was breathtaking, providing a picturesque backdrop for our celebration. The combination of the stunning surroundings and the outstanding team made our wedding day an absolute dream come true.
I highly recommend Magnolia Manor for its gorgeous setting, but more importantly, for its incredible staff who truly go above and beyond to create unforgettable memories. Thank you to Lauren, Amanda, Tina, and Reverend Robin for making our day so perfect!
Warm regards,

We got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how helpful and on top of things the coordinators were. Arriving to the aisle in my father’s truck was so special, and the pictures surrounded by gorgeous mature trees and beautiful landscaping were perfect.

Magnolia Manor is a gorgeous venue. They thought of everything! From the dressing rooms to the ceremony island and reception area, everything was designed and decorated with intention and to fit the aesthetic. It sits on several acres and is tucked back away from the hustle and bustle. There are a ton of different photography options! Lauren, Amanda, and the whole Magnolia team were simply AMAZING! Words cannot describe how wonderful they were. They truly made my day so much easier and stress free. They were always there to support us with a million questions over the year of planning our wedding, and they truly made the bride and groom a priority! If you are looking to get married in the area, I HIGHLY recommend this venue. Your big day will not only be held at a stunningly beautiful venue, but you will also be supported by the most amazing staff!

Magnolia Manor is a beautiful venue - spacious, rustic, charming! Every detail has been thought out carefully and beautifully. Even without adding anything further than what the venue comes with, one can feel comfortable that the venue will impress guests and provide for the best wedding. Lauren and Linda have been very communicative and accommodating throughout the process, including with two postponements due to Covid-19. Lauren made sure the day of the wedding ran smoothly and as imagined - the professionalism was exceptional! We couldn't have been happier with how the wedding turned out. We recommend both the venue and the preferred vendors recommended by the venue highly!

I loved how special Lauren and Her husband, Jon, made my husband and I feel on our special day. Lauren and her assistant were so attentive to my needs (getting food for me as I was getting into my dress and making sure that I stayed hidden from the groom until the walk down the aisle). Jon played awesome music and kept everyone out on the dance floor until their feet gave out. Lauren really coordinated all my wishes within budget while respecting my family. Magnolia Manner was gorgeous and just what I hoped for. I would definitely recommend other engaged couples to check out Magnolia Manor. . Thanks Magnolia Manor Team !! ❤️

From when we first went to this property we fell in love with the modern/rustic farmhouse vibe. This was exactly what we were looking for. The price was a little high for us but what was included in the package we got helped for sure. We even asked them to change/customize the package to suit exactly what we needed and they were happy to do so. Only issue we had was that who I was planning everything with (Lauren the planner/day of coordinator) got pregnant and so she couldn't be at our wedding BUT to make it up they gave me 2 coordinators instead. They did an amazing job at the wedding and took a lot of things off my sisters and I's plate. It even rained that day but they did everything they could to make it all work and everything went great! Thanks for everything team!!

The natural beauty of the site made planning my simple rustic wedding dream come true! Linda and Lauren are life savers and had everything covered to help make sure my wedding day ran as close to perfect as you can get. Take the time to check this venue out because you won’t be disappointed!
