A dream venue for our dream wedding


From the moment we walked through the doors of 10 South for the first time, we knew we had found the place we wanted to celebrate our marriage. The space itself is magnificent and beautiful. It combines rustic with updated details with excellent results.

The staff at 10 South are outstanding. We worked most with Megan Westrup, but we can’t stress enough that we were in great hands with every person and through every step of the planning process. They have several options to cater to your budget and what kind of celebration you want to have. The options can feel overwhelming, but they have great people to walk you through all of it. We would absolutely recommend their planning package. We took the middle option, and the weight they took off our shoulders before the ceremony and ESPECIALLY on wedding day cannot be understated. We’re extremely thankful for the entire staff at 10 South.

Another great thing about 10 South is the connections and relationships they’ve fostered. We want to recognize the groups they connected us with that made our night so special.

First, Buck and Honey was a tremendous caterer. We heard an overwhelming amount of praise for the food. Their appetizers were a huge hit, and they managed to take it up another level for dinner. Everything was served efficiently and with extremely friendly staff.

The DJ service was fantastic. DJ Lady Groove brought down the house. She was a delight to work with and catered to all ages at the reception. As much as we loved the music, we were overjoyed to hear how many people felt the same way and felt their generation of music was spotlighted at several points throughout the night. She kept the energy high and the dance floor packed and moving! Using 10 South’s partner for DJs gives you access to house sound that goes throughout the space, which is the original reason why we opted to go in that direction, but we had our socks blown off by DJ Lady Groove. We absolutely recommend the in-house service and DJ Lady Groove!

All in all, 10 South was a dream venue for our dream day. We loved it and highly recommend it!

A dream come true!!!

10 South was the best decision my husband and I made during wedding planning. :D Not only is the venue itself utterly gorgeous, but the team was nothing short of a dream to work with. Sara, who led our personal tour, was the most responsive person (besides my husband!) I have ever met, and from the start she made it clear that we as a couple were the center of their world. She was incredibly communicative, helpful, and respectful of every part of our wedding vision—including our budget.

Getting to work with Audrey as our coordinator was another major reason you need to consider 10 South. Throughout our planning journey, she was on top of every detail, asking timely questions about elements we might have missed or forgotten, and offering to take care of so many things for us. She lifted so much stress off our shoulders and made sure we never had to worry that something would slip through the cracks. With the coordinator package we booked (which I cannot recommend enough), Audrey checked in with our vendors, managed timelines, and directed setup so that we didn’t have to handle logistics the day of. Everything was handled for us flawlessly.

With the same package (the middle-tier option), the venue staff even packed up all of our décor for us at the end of the night, so our families and guests could simply relax and head home. The next morning, my parents picked everything up without a hitch, letting my husband and me slip away seamlessly to our honeymoon.

I could go on for hours about 10 South’s excellent planning meetings, their curated list of recommended vendors (like Bon Bon Belle Bridal and Buck & Honey’s catering), their beautiful in-house rental options like pendant lights, and their inclusive bar packages—even great for our NA wedding. But I especially want to highlight 10 South Sound and DJ Terry. He was one of the most professional, considerate, and talented people we encountered throughout the entire wedding planning process. Unlike so many DJs who rely on the same repetitive playlists, DJ Terry actually blended our music choices creatively and thoughtfully. His transitions were seamless, his energy was contagious, and he made our dance floor come alive.

Beyond the music itself, DJ Terry’s MC-ing was phenomenal—he kept our timeline running smoothly, guided the flow of the evening, and ensured our guests always knew what was happening without anything ever feeling stiff or overly formal. He made the entire day feel so organized, effortless, and fun.

Thank you, 10 South, for being the bedrock of our wedding day and making every dream we had come to life!!!! Our wedding was truly incredible, and if you want yours to be just as magical, I wholeheartedly recommend choosing 10 South!!! :D

A Wedding Venue That Truly Exceeded Every Expectation!

Choosing 10 South for our wedding reception venue was one of the best decisions we made for our celebration. From the very first visit, Megan W. and Sara went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. They anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had, handled every detail with genuine care, and made the entire planning process feel effortless. What could have been stressful became enjoyable, organized, and surprisingly fun thanks to their professionalism and warmth.

On the wedding reception day itself, everything was flawless. The space was stunning, the staff attentive, and the atmosphere magical. We felt supported every step of the way, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful and seamless the experience was. Most importantly, we walked away with lifelong memories that we’ll cherish forever — the kind that only happen when a venue and its team pour their hearts into what they do.

If you’re looking for a place that delivers exceptional service, thoughtful guidance, and a truly unforgettable celebration, this venue is in a league of its own. 10 South will always have a place in our hearts! Thank you for everything!

Excellent!

I’ve worked multiple weddings at 10 South Venue, and it’s incredible! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company, I love this elegant venue. The Lindelle Suite is perfect for getting ready. Not only does it have great space for everyone to be comfortable, but the visual aesthetic is so clean and elegant for getting ready. Highly recommend!

This is a review for the DJ only. DJ Alto / Preston

Preston was amazing!!! From the time we had our first meeting I could tell he was organized and really listened to what we had to say. He asked clarifying questions and also gave some advice on flow.

He was super open to any music suggestions. He was the biggest hype man at the wedding! He kept people on the dance floor. He played every single song correctly that we asked him to and at the right time.

He even checked in with us to see if we needed something to drink during dinner.

When my husband reminded and asked him to to call all fathers and daughters to dance floor for daddy daughter dance, Preston was quick on the fly, mixed the music perfectly and got everyone out there.

He played one of my favorite artist and made the best mix of like 4 of his songs ever it was so cool!!!

He will get guest on the dance floor and keep the energy all night. He will also be organized and MC your wedding perfectly.

10 South's coordinator Megan Anderson and DJ Terry Palmer rock!
Megan is very patient and thoughtful throughout the whole process, from early planning to actual day to the last minute. She seemed professional, experienced, calm and confident, gave clear instructions and recommendations in highly professional and respectful manner, which is hugely helpful.
DJ Terry is awesome. So good at this job. Again, very patient and accommodating throughout the planning phase, and on the day of, gave us a seamless and beautiful event. Particularly, our guests one after another came to us and commented that it was the best grand march they have seen, coz DJ Terry rocks. He totally hyped the space up with just the perfect tone and music, and perfect amount of enthusiasm, not overly loud or overshadowing, just felt genuine and passionate. Overall, people had a great time.
The venue is beautiful. Again many guests came to us specifically commenting on how beautiful this place is, how everything just flows very well from one space to another.
12 out of 10 experience overall. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommend!

This is probably going to be long because I can’t say enough good things about 10south. I got married on 9/6/2025 and it was the most incredible day ever. First, Audrey was our event coordinator and she did such a phenomenal job. I was probably the most annoying person with all my questions but she always got back to me so quickly and helped me out so so much. She made sure my vision would come to life. It was also amazing to have the ability to book our djs through them as well as some other add ons so we didn’t have to search. The djs were also very thorough, we had multiple meetings with them so they could get all of our vibes down. They kept everyone dancing all night! Which was one of my main priorities so they nailed it 🙂. The venue has the largest bridal suite out of all the venues I have seen (ones I toured and for weddings I’ve been a part of) which made getting ready feel so much less stressful. We had plenty of space to set up food and all the hair and makeup equipment we needed. The patio is a dream. We had our ceremony outside which was absolutely gorgeous. We then turned it into an area for cocktail hour which worked out amazing because it was so large for the amount of people we had. Of course the reception area is also amazing. The bar staff did incredible, I don’t think anyone had to wait in line for long at all. And it really helped having 2 bars during cocktail hour (Poppy is just adorable). Everything was magical, thanks to the 10south team and the way the venue is set up. I highly highly recommend getting married here!

Gorgeous Venue!

We had our wedding at 10 South on 1/25/25 and the entire day felt like a fairytale! We worked with Megan throughout the planning process and she made everything so seamless for us. This venue is absolutely gorgeous and we fell in love with it immediately. They are also the only venue we toured that sat down with us after the tour to run through all of the costs, which we appreciated. The getting ready suites onsite are incredible and were so helpful for the morning of the wedding. Megan and her team did all of the set up and tear down for us, which cut back on so much stress for us! I am absolutely obsessed with this venue and love the vibe it has. We received so many compliments from our guests and I cannot recommend this venue enough!!

Do not hesitate having your wedding at this beautiful venue.

Audrey Leo was awesome and helped us tremendously during this crazy wedding process. We got the deluxe coordinator package and it was amazing not having to worry about the little details coming together on our wedding day! We appreciate everyone that helped us from 10 South on our wedding day and during planning. DJ Terry coordinated our sound and DJ Alto made that sound come to life. Having the sound from the 10 South sound system around the building was extremely convenient and their DJ staff is incredible to work with.
