  • I had my wedding here last December and everything was absolutely beautiful.  Ms. Dionne was very helpful and patient throughout the entire process.  They are also very patient and flexible with the payment plan. The venue is breathtaking.  Definitely, worth more than the price they charge.  They made my wedding magical and I would definitely recommend them!

  • Our wedding was amazing. Magnolia did an OUTSTANDING job making our day very special. I have to give a HUGE shout out to Dee and Dionne!!! Dee stayed by me and hubby side the entire night to make sure everything went smoothly. She kept everyone on task so that nothing was missed. I truly loved her. Dionne helped set everything up prior to the celebration and she was phenomenal. She took great notes to make sure things were done the way I wanted them done. All of our guests said the food was great and they had an absolute best time. Some even said they had never been to a wedding like that and it was like a movie. We were so happy with all of our results from Magnolia. Colette is amazing too she was a doll from the moment I met her and it was through a video call since I no longer live in the city. She answered all my questions in a timely manner and made sure we were all setup.

  • Everything about our reception was perfect! Colette and Dionne were so easy to work with and made everything less stressful! Food was fantastic, dj was great, drinks were good and being that there are 2 bars you don’t have to worry about long lines! Also, the dance floor is huge so it’s perfect for a big day! I cannot recommend them enough! Everyone raved about the venue!

  • We had the most wonderful time at Magnolia for our wedding !!! It was everything we ever wanted and more!! The communication was great, everyone was very helpful and attended to us all night! We had a guest list of over 200 and I’ve heard not one bad thing yet. Everyone had an amazing time and every single food item was delicious! The venue is absolutely beautiful and makes an amazing space for a large group!

  • I can't say enough about this venue. First, I stumbled after leaving another venue and I must say this location is a hidden gem. We were very impressed with the service. From beginning to end, Miss Dionne took very good care of us and satisfied all of our needs. She is very patient, knowledgeable, exuded great communication, and overall her professionalism was outstanding. She treated us as if we were family. There wasn't any hidden agendas or unspoken information. Everything went as she explained and we were ever so grateful. My guests are STILL talking about how much they enjoyed the music, how beautiful the wedding was, how spacious the venue was, and how GREAT the food was. I keep hearing that the guests were so full from passed hors d'oeuvres there wasn't a need for the buffet. Miss Dee and Megan were awesome. I really didn't need to make a move, because Miss Dee had me covered. Megan is such a sweetheart. Beautiful smile and just an all around genuinely professional young lady.

  • What can I say. This place was beautiful. My high school class had their birthday bash this weekend and Magnolia did not disappoint. The staff was great and the food was amazing. Ms.Dionne, thank you for all of your help in making this event a success.

  • I am so happy I chose an all-inclusive wedding venue! I did not have to worry about a thing. Everything and everyone from beginning to end was spectacular!
