Maneeley's Banquet & Catering - South Windsor, Connecticut

Briana Ruscitti

We hired Maneeley's to cater a corporate event for a combined total of about 300 employees. Bruce and his staff showed up early and were more than prepared. The food was very highly rated by all of our employees, some even stating it was the best lunch we've ever had catered. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish and exceeded our expectations.

I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding this past weekend at the Lodge here and had a great experience as a vendor! The staff was very helpful and professional. They took great care of the bride, groom, and us vendors! ((Also, the food was awesome and we all left feeling full, which let's be honest...is not always the case with wedding venue food haha!)) I highly recommend this venue & look forward to shooting here again!

My husband and I recently had our wedding at Maneeley's, and we truly cannot say enough good things about our experience! From the initial tour to the final send-off, everything went smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day.

Sandy and her team were absolutely amazing! They were so easy to work with and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. Sandy listened to our vision and exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and she puts her heart into each wedding she coordinates. We never felt like we were just another couple – she made our day feel uniquely ours and incredibly special.

The venue itself is stunning, with a variety of beautiful locations to choose from for the ceremony. The many décor options made wedding planning so much easier and stress-free, and we were able to create the exact atmosphere we had envisioned. The flexibility in ceremony locations was a huge plus, and we were thrilled with the setting we chose.

When it came to the food, Maneeley’s truly exceeded all expectations. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was! The portion sizes were generous – no one left hungry! The drink selection was also fantastic, and our guests loved the Champagne and signature cocktails. It’s clear that the venue takes pride in offering high-quality food and drinks.

Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our choice of venue. Sandy and her staff made our wedding day flawless, and we’ll be forever grateful for the care and attention they put into making our day so memorable. If you’re looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding venue with exceptional service and amazing food, we highly recommend Maneeley’s!

I went to Maneeley’s expecting an elegant venue for my event, but instead, I got a masterclass in how NOT to run a business.

First, the staff: I’ve seen more professionalism at a high school bake sale. The employees had the enthusiasm of a damp paper towel and the social grace of a startled raccoon. One of them actually said, loud enough for guests to hear, “I don't know, I’m just here for the paycheck,” while the guests were literally in the middle of the event asking for basic things like water and utensils.

As for the food? Imagine a bland, rubbery mess that had the audacity to call itself “gourmet.” The chicken was so dry, I’m convinced it was originally created as a chew toy for a dog with a steel jaw. The mashed potatoes could’ve been used as a building material. And the “vegetables” (if you can call them that) looked like they were harvested from a plastic plant.

If you want your event to be remembered for all the wrong reasons, Maneeley’s is your place. It’s as if they’ve mastered the art of disappointment. I left wondering if the host of the event booked a “Worst Experience Ever” package.

Wedding photographer update 2024: Maneeley's is just as good as it was when I was last here for a wedding! I had the pleasure of photographing here again in the fall of 2023 and it was wonderful

Maneeley's is awesome for weddings! As a wedding photographer myself, and growing up in CT, I'm a sucker for the rustic aesthetic this venue offers. The staff are great, too, and the food is really good.

Most importantly, their couples love them! I had a NYE 2021 wedding here and the bride and groom couldn't have been happier. They and their guests rang in the new year together and the service by Maneeley's was top notch. They were very accommodating of my photo requests, too.

One of my upcoming 2023 couples booked their wedding here for this summer and I can't wait to go back. Book Maneeley's, you won't be sorry!

Absolutely love this wedding venue!!! I am a photographer and it was amazing doing a wedding here. Beautiful lights indoors, and a bunch of great outdoor spaces for ceremonies and cocktail hour.

What an amazing experience with Maneeley's. We worked with Sandy the entire time, and she could not have made it more easy to do everything. Especially given that we were in the middle of the pandemic, had to switch from another venue to Maneeley's, and they just made it go by so smoothly. Everything went really well. The food was actually amazing. Normally wedding food isn't the greatest, but theirs was fantastic. They use Modern Pastry for the cake, which the cake was also absolutely phenomenal. Looked and tasted great!

Everything about it, from the service, food, reception... It was all great. I couldn't recommend them more.

We held my daughter's wedding here and the reception. The staff was very attentive very detail-oriented. I felt the food was slightly above average. The aura of the hall was very elegant, romantic, yet personal.
