Magnolia Manor Plantation B&B

Our daughter and son in law were married at Magnolia Manor Oct. 2011. Sheila, Larry and the staff were amazing. They made sure every need was addressed in a professional yet flexible manner. They were extremely responsive to any questions we had. Everything went smoothly and our daughter and son in law had a beautiful wedding. We will be forever grateful!

I was married on October 15th at Magnolia Manor in Warrenton, NC. I would have never dreamed that everything would have gone so smoothly and the day would have been so perfect! The guests loved the venue and I was extraordinarily pleased with the beauty of the location, the quality of food and Sheila's attentiveness to our guests needs. For example, we had a vegan bridesmaid who had all of her dietary needs met, a bridesmaid with a cold who was doted on by the staff and any belongings left behind at the B&B were sent to the proper people after the wedding. My hustband and I are very busy and it was very nice to have Magnolia Manor take care of the catering and florist. It was a pleasure planning with Sheila as I told her what I envisioned and she accurately produced the wedding I was imagining. The barn and pavillion are even more spectacular in the evening than are shown in the pictures on the website. Sheila has great attention to detail which is important when she is acting as the coordinator. Larry is a fantastic cook and is very honest and forthright. I am so happy I chose them as the place to have my wedding.

Sheila, Larry, and the staff at Magnolia Manor went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend the most amazing weekend of our lives. Words can not express how beautiful and effortless everything was! From top notch food to the atmosphere and most importantly Sheila and Larry everything was perfect! It was a fairy tale come to life! Magnolia Manor will forever be a place near and dear to our hearts. Sheila and Larry felt like family from the moment we met them and you can not ask for a more amazing, sincere couple to be a part of your wedding. Thank you all again for making our day so very special!

Larry and Shelia made our wedding day just how I always dreamed it would be! They know exactly what to do and how to do it. Shelia even came to the church to direct the wedding before heading over to the plantation. Every single guest told me how amazing the food was and that the atmosphere was perfect! It was definitely the best day of our lives! I couldn't ask for more. Thank you Larry and Shelia! I will be hosting something else at magnolia manor in the near future. It was awesome! Thanks Ryan and Marley

My husband and I knew that we wanted to have a very small outdoor wedding; I knew the minute I walked though the doors of Shelia and Larry's beautiful home that this was the place for us. Our wedding was a very small weekday wedding with only our parents and my brother in attendance. We loved spending time with our parents on the front porch watching the hummingbirds in the mornings, spending the afternoons playing horseshoes and swinging on the huge rope swing, and just being away from the hustle and bustle of the city and our busy lives. Our ceremony was beautiful under the oak tree, the southern dinner was delicious, the entire staff was very pleasant and attentive, and breakfast the morning of our wedding and the morning after was probably the best breakfast I've ever had! We are so thankful for finding Magnolia Manor, Shelia and Larry made everything so easy- giving us advice for the ceremony and reception dinner while also using our suggestions. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

What an incredible venue-I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding experience. Sheila and Larry made it so easy for our family to relax and enjoy our day. The food, flowers, decorations, service, and everything else exceeded our expectations. If you are considering this location, stop and book it NOW!! You will love the entire experience!!

I couldn't have asked for more on my wedding day!!! Magnolia Manor was amazing. The house is surrounded by massive oak and magnolia trees with an old carriage barn for your reception. We were married in the pecan orchard. This place has so much character!!! The house is historic and very impressive. The best part is you get five bedrooms in the house Friday through Sunday…I loved being about to stay at the BB&B because it made my wedding into a weekend affair. It cut down on the stress and I got to spend so much more time with everyone. Sheila and Larry are great!! The breakfast she makes every morning is to die for! Just perfect... wish I could do it again!!!! : ) Make sure you visit this place you won’t be disappointed!!

I loved having my rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception at Magnolia Manor Plantation! I can't imagine having done it any other way. Sheila and Larry Carver, the owners, are WONDERFUL people and made so much happen for us that wouldn't have been possible any other way. The wedding package was worth so much more than we paid and Sheila and Larry always found a way to make things wonderful and memorable for us and our guests. It is truly a magical place and my guests LOVED the venue. I can't say enough positive things about Magnolia Manor.

Magnolia Manor was the perfect place for our wedding. Sheila and Larry were great and we had a very special time. My family came from Europe to be a part of the wedding and, despite a language barrier, everything was so simple and easy due to the care of Sheila and Larry. Any praise I can give them here just isn't detailed enough to give them and the place itself justice.

When I first fell upon Magnolia Manor Plantation's website, I was intrigued at the beautiful location - however, when I arrived at this magical place, it took my breath away!!! I knew right away; this is the place that I want to get married at and share an entire weekend with those closest to my heart. My husband felt the exact same way! Sheila and Larry sealed the deal with their warm, caring, attentive hearts. They made our wedding weekend something out of a fairy tale and helped create memories to last a lifetime!

Magnolia Manor was the perfect place for my wedding. I wanted an outdoor wedding that was very exculsive and private. The bed and breakfest on the very many acres of land was beautiful. Shelia is the wedding planner and she takes care of practically everything. Even the things I did not tell her I wanted or for her to take care of she did, like another bouquet so I could keep mine. Overall the wedding was beautiful because of the location and because of the attention to detail Shelia gave to my wedding.

Magnolia Manor was the most absolute perfect wedding venue for my husband and I. Every guest commented on how beautiful and unique every detail was. Sheila made the wedding planning an absolute breeze and everything was exactly how we had wanted it. It was not a few hour affair, but an entire weekend of relaxing, amazing food, beautiful views, and a lifetime of memories. I would recommend Magnolia Manor to any bride looking for a unique southern wedding.

Magnolia Manor was the perfect site for our wedding, and my husband and I knew it right away. It was the perfect location and setting. We wanted an outdoor ceremony that was romantic and intimate, which is exactly what we were able to have in the pecan grove. Sheila and Larry were amazing to work with- and completely accommodating to our ideas and requests. Magnolia Manor had all of the qualities and characteristics of the place we wanted to get married- and offered a comfortable setting for all of our guests. It could not have been a more perfect day and night- and it truly was the wedding of our dreams. Sheila and Larry provided close, personal attention to us- and to our family during the entire process. They are so incredibly caring and wonderful- and really appreciate how special this day is for the bride. This is definitely a place every bride should consider for a NC wedding!!

My wife and I looked at several different venues before selecting Magnolia Manor Plantation for our special day. I am so glad that we found it. It was truly magical. Our families counldn't stop talking about how beautiful the house was. Everyone kept asking "how did you found out about this place". We got married under the big old pecan trees. The place was perfect. Sheila and Larry and their staff couldn't be more accomadating. It was almost Like we had gotten married at my own parents house,we felt so at home there. Looking back on my whole wedding experience, I think it was my second best decision, (The first was my choice in brides). I wish there was a way to give them 6 stars! The food, the fire, the family, the firends, the plantation house, the carriage house, the reception, Denise & Lynn, the GIANT rope swing, the magnolia trees, the silo bar.....AAA+++++Thanks Shiela + Larry! "YOU MADE"... "OUR DAY"!!

Sheila Carver was the best wedding director I could have hoped for. She did everything from laying out the flow of the reception to picking out cake flavors and designs to choreographing the ceremony. I just simply could not have done it with out her. I had a great amount of stress leading up to the event because our wedding venue and reception were outdoors. She provided a backup plan and reassuance although we ended up not needing it!! Overall, Mrs. Carver and her helpers, were friendly, helpful, and calm. Myself, my husband, and especially our guests were absolutly floored at the results!! Highly recommend her for peace of mind and overall effect!! Aaron and Tara- Married June of 2009

Our weekend wedding was an incredible experience that family and friends still mention each time we get together. Magnolia Manor really set the bar! Attention to every detail from the fresh pressed antique linens to the unbelevable breakfasts. Our ceremony and reception were magical enjoyed by all in attendance.My flowers for myself and wedding party were more than I ever dreamed and the carriage house became magical wrapped in twinkle lights and candles! Sheila and Larr and staff were there for my friends, family and I every step of the way! Staying in the historical manor house was a memory for a lifetime. Every bride should be so lucky!

Magnolia Manor Plantation was the perfect place for our wedding. It provided a relaxing, yet elegant atmosphere for us and our guests. The food and the wedding cake were both really good. Larry and Sheila were wonderful hosts and made us feel very comfortable in their beautifully restored home.

Everything was so wonderful!!! First, I didn't need to plan too much: they take care of everything. Just give them ideas, pictures, of what you want and they take care of putting it together. No need to worry about florist, caters, minister, dj... they provide everything for an all inclusive price so you know for sure what your budget is. the staff is awesome! The house is beautiful. The food was great, cooked on location so it taste better. I can't find one thing that I didn't think was perfect! We actually had a perfect wedding without any glitches, what more can I ask for?

I chose Magnolia Manor Plantation because of the outdoor location, but I had no idea I was planning my fairytale wedding! It truly was more beautiful and amazing than I ever expected. I only gave a few of my preferences and Sheila (the innkeeper and planner) rolled with it to go above and beyond. Staying the weekend there was stress-free and so easy on both families. Breakfast was also awesome! All the guests had an amazing time and my nephews still ask me about going back to swing on the rope swing and run through the pecan orchard. A true southern experience, from the wonderful food cooked for the rehearsal/wedding reception to the guests, some in their southern belle hats and others dancing barefoot on the floor! Did I mention the horse-drawn buggy? I could talk for hours. Such a special place for such a special day. Highly recommended!
