Elegant Dream Wedding

My daughter just married at Alda's Magnolia Hill and what keeps coming to mind is that she had the wedding brides dream of. The setting is beautiful in a historic home, beautifully furnished, with a lakeside ceremony and carriage house venue for the reception. No detail was overlooked. So many special moments were orchestrated by Alda and Buddy that were just made for amazing photography. We can't wait for the pictures! This was the perfect place to celebrate my daughter and new son in law's perfect wedding day.

A Southern Belle's Dream

Y'all. I can't even adequately put into words how incredible Alda's Magnolia Hill was as a venue for our wedding. My husband and I had to move our ceremony up 3 weeks from our original wedding date due to the threat of COVID-19, which meant we had one week until our wedding from the day that we decided to move our wedding up! Talk about STRESS! Alda took that all away, though. She built a schedule for me and took care of the little details that I had on my plate. Alda and Buddy know what they are doing and make sure that you are taken care of. Their focus is on making sure that you have the best experience possible for your big day! The venue is stunning and the people are amazing! If you're looking for a dreamy, romantic, Southern wedding, this is the place to go! Love, love, loved our experience!
