New Waverly Manor Wedding and Event Venue

stressed about. I strongly suggest this venue for everyone looking!!

ll worked out. It piured just before my ceremony, they delayed everything and dried the seats and walkway when it stopped. (It still managed to sprinkle during the ceremony). Mary's daughter Mandy did my hair and makeup and did an amazing job on it. Mary's son Scott did our ceremony and did an excellent job of it. Despite a few hiccups and some rain, it was the best day and I wouldn't trade it for anything

and they made it happen.

plantation house. Second, the service is phenomenal! Mary is very accomodating and kind. She is very creative, works around your budget, and is flexible to your own style. The decor was perfect on my big day. They definitely know how to make a space look stunning at Vineyards of Waverly Manor. While the decor and service are superb, the organization could use some work. The ceremony started without any problems but, the reception was a different story. We had asked that all of the guests could enter the reception with the buffet immediately open so that people could eat. Our wedding was at night, so we didn't want grumpy/hungry guests. However, when we got in, guests had eaten all of the hors d'oeuvre and were waiting for their food. We were told that the food would be ready momentarily, however almost two hours later the food was not served. This was in fact a nightmare during a reception full of hungry guests. We had people asking us why they hadn't received food and tons of people left before we did the bouquet/garter toss, the dances, or cut the cake due to this setback. The staff apologized many times, but by the time the food came out, our reception hall was nearly empty (all but our wedding party and a few close friends were left). In all of our photos of the reception, the entire hall appears empty, with tons of empty chairs. Not to mention that the groom and I were served raw food on our plates and had to ask to be served something cooked through. It was upsetting to be sure. Looking back, I think I would have just asked that they go ahead and serve what was made, instead of them waiting to put out all of the food together. I should mention that our menu was catered to us, and the venue was not familiar with how to cook it. However, in my opinion, when you are paying thousands of dollars to someone to cook something and they say they can do it, they should do test runs before having to serve it to 150 people. If you are considering this location, it is perfect for a ceremony and would be wonderful for a cocktail reception (not a full dinner service reception).

the exception of the DJ. I had so much go wrong... it poured down rain right before my ceremony started. They postponed and got out there with blowers and towels the second it stopped and still managed to get everything ready and perfect. My reception decor was above and beyond gorgeous. I gave them the idea, colors and general feel I wanted and they did it better than I imagined possible. Everything was gorgeous. My only complaint was communication before the wedding... it was sometimes hard to get someone on the phone when I was last minute bridezilla-ing. (LOL) And the DJ absolutely SUCKED. He lost our playlist and was asked multiple times to change it up bc nobody danced the entire time... and he still played bad music. But that was through no fault of New Waverly, everything else included in their package was exactly what I wanted and my wedding day was wonderful. Thank you so much Mary!

does though and took care of everything. If you want a stress free day with a beautiful ending get married here. The cake was outstanding, the reception hall was breathtaking,the food was to die for, the DJ was spot on and the fireworks were so much fun!! They literally do everything and it turned out greater than I could have ever imagined. Everyone at my wedding said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever been to. I loved hearing that! I would recommend the waverly manor everyday. Mary can have everything set up for you and she even introduced me to a florist (which I was stressed about) and the florist went above and beyond for me literally making me cry on wedding day with her gorgeous arrangements and reasonable pricing! This was the best place to get married and I am so glad I found it off the knot. I would have missed out bad by going anywhere else! It was PERFECT!!!!!

talk with them they make it seem like it's all included. However, in our situation we asked for things that we were told was in the package (after our contract was signed) and a lot that we wanted was an upgrade. They didn't make it seem that way when we toured the place! Just be aware when speaking with them. They are not very clear in the beginning. Also, lack of communication skills with the receptionist!

listening to my ideas and offering advice- just what I needed. Felt very comfortable and at ease the day of because everything was taken care of. The venue is beautiful, homey, and exquisite all at the same time.

truly a treat that she gets to do this for a living. From day one of planning up until the event I never had to rush around and get things together, I told Mary my ideas and she made them come true with the help of their wonderful and pleasant staff. During the planning I was in my first year of Dental school which is hectic enough and they made my life easy by getting everything together for me and making sure I had thought of all I needed for our big day! On top of making my day as the bride easy this place is also a great place for the groomsmen to chill and hang out prior to the ceremony. Waverly Manor has its own "man cave" for the guys so they can entertain themselves and relax before it all. I truly could go on forever but I'll tie it up with a quote from all my friends that attended the wedding which was, " This was the best wedding I've ever been to!!" Thank you Waverly Manor and special thanks to Mary Elliot -Kacey Whitehead

ike taken out of amovie, espectacular. We knew right there that no other place will feel like this one. It felt like home. Through out the process of organizing the wedding, the waverly manor was open and attentive for my questions and concerns; and always available for advice. My husband and I are very busy all the time. The fact that with Waverly Manor we did not have to worry about renting tables, linens, finding catering, and hiring a wedding coordinator was great. All their recommended vendors are really great too, we used their florist and their bakery. The day of the rehearsal Mary was amazing working with our family and friends even when some of them did not speak a lot of English. The decoration and setting were incredible, it felt like us completely. Throughout our wedding day Mary and her team ran around to make sure everything would run smoothly and exactly the way I wanted. Everyone was on top of everything. Mary and Dolores made sure my hsband and I had dinner, and drinks. Everyone that as ever married nows how difficult is to do that duing your own wedding. They also made sure the wedding party had food while getting ready. I won't ever forget my wedding day because everyone at Waverly Manor helped make my dreams come true. We are forever grateful with Waverly Manor.

lls, gave me tons of suggestions, provided several vendors (and I loved all of them), and was there for me on my wedding day. I was never nervous or stressed out thanks to Mary and all of her crew. The food was outstanding the decor was gorgeous and the guests enjoyed themselves more than they had at any other wedding. They all kept asking me where I had found that beautiful hidden gem. Ladies - using this place makes everything just fall into place and so easy for a wedding! Mary, her staff, and vendors literally does it all - catering, photography, DJ, decorating, set up, clean up, cake, flowers, hair, make-up, officiant...the list goes on. Love this place - I will have to have an anniversary party here!!!

dream. Mary Elliot is a dream maker. All I can say, is trust her. She can and will make your wedding everything and more than you would ever imagine. She told me not to worry, and I didn't. She was there every minute from the start of our planning to the very end. The wedding was delightful, the setting was beyond what I imagined and my guests raved about how beautiful everything was that evening. I will be forever grateful for all the work that Mary did to make our wedding, truly, an affair to remember.

to stress about anything. She was so much fun and she really makes you feel special. It felt so comfortable and relaxing at her venue and she even dance with us! She really gets to know her clients and it's such a blessing to have that kind of relationship with your coordinator. I trusted her fully and she amazes me with how much talent she had. She made the grooms cake and it looked professional and tasted so amazing. I would never regret having my wedding here and for future brides, choose Mary and her venue! You won't regret it either!! We love you Vineyards of waverly manor!!

d off on getting there. You have to drive down a gravel road off an FM road to get to this hidden treasure, which adds to its charm. Because it's secluded and they only book one wedding per day, my ceremony was very intimate. I initially had some concerns about response time and communication. But, everything turned out perfect on my wedding day and I wouldn't have wanted to have my wedding anywhere else. They were even able to accommodate some last minute changes due to my guests the week of the wedding. She also helped give me tips that helped me save money. And, trust me - every bit counts when you get to the end and you've almost exhausted your budget. My guests are still talking about what a great time they had and how it was the most fun they've had at a wedding. Brides-to-be, if you want an oudoor wedding with a serene setting, you must visit Waverly Manor.

the wedding because Mary took care of EVERYTHING! I was able to enjoy my wedding day and I had a blast. The venue was gorgeous and everyone that attended had fun. Our cake was baked by one of the winners of the Ultimate Cake Off on TLC, which was included in our package. Mary introduced us to our florist who was perfect too.

ed to working at this venue and so I was very pleased with how smooth things went. The decorations were gorgeous and the food was very good. I have no complaints! Everything was great!

t was great and the food was delicious! The flowers at the reception were included, but we had to pay extra for the bouquets and boutonniers. The bride's cake is included, but we had it backed out because I had a family member making the cakes. Everything about the day was perfect! I couldn't have asked for anything more.

ome! I am 33 and this is my first time to be married. I waited a long time for my prince charming and wanted my day to be perfect. I do not have words to express how perfect it truly was! The setting at The Vineyards of Waverly Manor for our outdoor ceremony was breathtaking and the weather was perfect! The georgous manor house was a perfect setting for pictures, as was the outdoor gazeebo and the elegant reception hall! Every detail was taken care of by Mary and her staff. I did not have one moment of concern during the entire planning period or wedding. I am a perfectionist and type A personality, so that is saying a lot! The decor was better than I could have envisioned! Mary truly turned my dreams into reality! The food was fantastic, and everything went so smoothly thanks to the Waverly Manor staff. We even had an AMAZING fireworks show right before we left in the limo!! It was SO much fun! We have had SO many comments from our guests about how truly elegant our event and the venue were! The satin lined walls and ceiling in the reception hall, coupled with the stunning crystal chandeliers truly brought a sophistication to our reception that was noticed by all! The location was fantastic too! Most of our guests drove or flew into town for our event. We had hotel rooms reserved in both Conroe and Huntsville, and travel to and from both Dallas and the Houston airports was easy! We also had MANY guests comment about how much they enjoyed getting to know other family and guests as they all stayed in the same general area. They truly felt that it added to the experience for everyone for us to "get out of town" with our closest friends and family. I cannot say enough about how happy I am that we chose The Vineyards of Waverly Manor for our wedding venue. I would recommend them over and over for ANY type of event! ~Amanda
