All In The Details has been involved in several events at The Acanthus and couldn't be more pleased! The Acanthus is the areas best kept secret, it's location is convenient to both Greenville and Spartanburg. The facility is absolutely picturesque, extremely well maintained, and the staff have a way of making everyone feel like part of the family! A must see for every bride looking for a ceremony and/or reception site.
The Acanthus is BEAUTIFUL!!!! The entire staff is wonderful and a pleasure to work with!!
The Acanthus is a gorgeous venue for any wedding. The room that the bride can get ready in is a photographer's dream with lots of light and beautiful decor. The rest of the house is just as beautiful, inside and out, with tons of photo opportunities. The lakefront makes a great location for an outdoor ceremony and the pavilion is also a photographer's dream with romantic up/down lighting and white ceilings (to allow our flashes to fill the area with light if we want). Jim and Angie are always a pleasure to work with as well and they make us and every bride and groom feel welcome.
Beautiful location for a wedding reception or rehearsal dinner. The owners are wonderful people who really care about your wedding.
If you want to be impressed and captivated, go visit The Acanthus ( try to be there at sundown... wow!) I have set up ice sculptures at thousands of event facilities from the mountains to the coast. Very few are as breath-taking as the ambience you will encounter at The Acanthus on Lyman Lake. Jim And Angie Craig have done an amazing job of making you feel at home. If your idea of a great place to have your reception includes a great view, accomidating space for your guests, wonderful hosts and an awesome sense of privacy, then take a ride out to see what The Craig's @ The Acanthus have waiting for you and your loved ones to experience.
