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. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend Saxon Manor to any couple planning their wedding! Even the food was a huge hit.

The team at Wishing Well Barn was exceptional in their communication and contributed greatly to making our wedding day perfect. Their space was the ideal venue, and Michelle and her staff worked tirelessly from early morning to late night to ensure everything went smoothly, even communicating with us throughout the day about potential weather issues.
