Our prime event days are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you’d like a rehearsal on a non-prime day (Monday–Thursday), we’ll be happy to accommodate you—subject to availability. All rehearsals include two hours of use at no extra cost. Please contact us to confirm your preferred date.

For tours and planning, please click here to read more about it.

We prepare the venue, handle questions, and offer self-check-in (or assist when needed). Hari—or another Manjal Manor representative—may stop by at the start to photograph décor, capture some event photos and videos, then drop in occasionally at various times. There won’t be staff on-site the entire time; it’s always worked smoothly this way.

We don’t handle setup—we only provide chairs and tables. In fact, we’ve expanded our inventory from the original 50 chiavari chairs and tables to now include 250 resin chairs and a variety of table sizes. You can view the full list of chairs, tables, and their dimensions here.

After use, the chairs and tables are supposed to be put back in the same place where it was. Host is expected to return all chairs and tables to their original locations after use.

You can see the chair and table count and sizes here

A: After booking, we do not offer in-person tours with a representative. However, you can request a self-guided tour at your convenience. Simply give us at least 24 hours’ notice, and we will provide you with a code to access the venue.

Q: When can I schedule a self-guided tour after booking?

We understand your concerns. The 50% deposit is non-refundable as it secures your exclusive reservation of the date. While we do understand that plans can change, this policy is in place because reserving your date means we cannot offer it to other interested parties. We appreciate your understanding and are here to discuss any other questions you might have!

We collect 50% non-refundable deposit, and the remaining full amount is due 15 days prior to the event.

We have four 33-gallon Rubbermaid Brute containers outside, each with one new trash bag. For additional bags, please bring your own heavy-duty 33-gallon trash bags.

We do not allow this due to several reasons. However, feel free to check with us. If we do not have any other event, we will see if we can accommodate your need.

Usually, an hour early is allowed, and additional hours are charged. If there is no event that day and we can get the venue ready earlier, we might make an exception for you to come in a bit earlier to start decorating. However, this cannot be guaranteed due to various variables. We always recommend that you plan your event within the booking hours.

Yes, we have a limited number of fancy Chiavari chairs and high-quality tables in various sizes. For the complete list, please refer to the “What is included in the rental cost” section above.

On the day of your event, or the day prior, I will send you the self check-in instructions. Typically, either myself or one of my representatives will visit the venue to ensure everything is in order, turn on the lights, and notify you. It will be very simple to manage, so no worries. If you have any questions, you can always call or text me.

After the event, please ensure you don’t extend your stay beyond the agreed time. This is important because, just as your event was our priority, we must give the same attention to the next event following yours. Adhering to the check-out instructions helps ensure a smooth transition and maintains a positive experience for everyone.

No, you can’t start at 3pm, if you only booked for 4 hours (6pm – 10pm). Our prices are based on the time, not the type of event, and they are already competitive. When booking, include your setup time in the schedule. We might offer a special package for you. For big events like weddings, consider booking the whole day to avoid rushing. If you book for 4 hours or more, you get an extra hour for free.

Absolutely! At Manjal Manor, you can enjoy high-quality music without the need for a DJ. Our venue is equipped with stunning in-house speakers located in the indoor hall, covered pergola area, and the barn door building.

Indoor Hall Music System: Our indoor hall features 5.1 home theater-like speakers mounted on the ceiling. These are connected to a smart TV where you can play your favorite music through the YouTube app, navigate to Music section. Simply create a public YouTube Music playlist, share it with us to the venue email address(ask for our email address), and access it directly on the TV through the YouTube app, navigate to Library section to see your playlist in the bottom. Remember to adjust the TV volume to zero and control the sound using the receiver’s volume, not exceeding 48 to maintain optimal audio quality. We also provide a YouTube Premium Music subscription with your booking, ensuring an ad-free experience. Alternatively, you can connect your phone using an aux cable, though sound quality may vary with different sources.

Covered Pergola Music: The covered pergola is equipped with four outdoor speakers, perfect for background music that complements the ambiance of conversations and gatherings. To play music here, format a USB thumb drive with your music in .mp3 format. Note that due to a system glitch, only songs with odd numbers (e.g., 1, 3, 5) will play. You can also connect via an aux cable for more straightforward playback.

Barn Door Building Music: This area includes two high-quality Bluetooth speakers. Simply turn on the FOSI audio amplifier (small black device) and connect your device via Bluetooth. The sound setup here is ideal for creating an immersive, private audio environment, perfect for activities like a photo booth, bar, or dance area for teens.

We hope this information helps you plan the perfect musical atmosphere for your event at Manjal Manor!

Please note, these in-house systems are not configured for external DJ setups. DJs must bring their own equipment, as there are no XLR connections available. Additionally, if you need music at the outdoor stage or ceremony area, hiring a DJ is necessary, though there are ample electrical outlets available for use.
