The majestic, plantation-style property has played host to some of the most elegant, lush and Southern-inspired ceremonies, receptions and bridal luncheons this side of the Texas border. We talked with the manor\u2019s events manager, Marjorie Thai, to find out more about this picture-perfect spot! You might be surprised what you learn:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. It\u2019s 80+ Year\u2019s Old! <\/strong>\u2014 Madeley Manor was first built by Daniel and Ruth Madeley in the 1930\u2019s and quickly became the epicenter of society and sophistication in Conroe, hosting events for dignitaries and musicians, as well as the Madeley daughters\u2019 weddings, according to Thai. The home has been updated since its heyday, but maintains its historic charm.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20830\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2017-04-28_00071.jpg\" alt=\"View More: http:\/\/michelleablephotography.pass.us\/madeley-manor\" width=\"660\" height=\"989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2017-04-28_00071.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2017-04-28_00071-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/>Photo: Cotton Weddings<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.

The venue\u2019s lush green lawns and 100-year-old oaks create an idyllic atmosphere for outdoor ceremonies and receptions. Many couples choose to wed under the manor\u2019s beautiful white gazebo, that can be adorned with a sparkling chandelier.
