The ONLY venue you need

From someone that initially wanted a backyard wedding, I'm converted. I could not have imagined my wedding anywhere but Historic Whitewood...

Chad and Sarah with Historic Whitewood truly go above and beyond. From the minute we stepped on the grounds for a tour, we immediately felt welcomed and knew that it was THE place for us to have our wedding. For one, this property is amazing REGARDLESS of the season. It always looks beautiful even in the dead of winter! From getting married on the front lawn, the pool for cocktail hour, to the massive backyard tent, it always looks amazing!

Historic Whitewood is unlike many other wedding venues. Whitewood provides tables, chairs (for both ceremony and reception), bars, different dance floors, etc all in-house! They also have additional items like soft seating, decorative tables, etc if you are looking for a little something extra. Speaking of a little something extra - have you seen the red truck? SO CUTE and made for AMAZING photos!!!! Additionally on the property, they have a bridal suite (with 3 bedrooms and a kitchen) that we got ready in and stayed the night in at our wedding. It was so convenient! My husband also loved the Grooms Den where he watched football and was able to chill before the wedding! There is also an extra house you can rent on property if any of your guests would like to stay close! And don't get me started on the dedicated catering area... Your vendors will LOVE you for booking a venue like this one!!!

As for the Taylor family, they are truly the best hosts. From being there for my never-ending questions and making sure that even a grass hiccup didn't impact my wedding vision, I couldn't have asked for more. I truly felt like my husband and I were the guests of honor at their lovely home. You can tell that they actually enjoy what they do, and unlike some other wedding venues where they push sometimes multiple couples through every weekend and you are just another event, I felt like the world revolved around me for our wedding weekend! I always felt welcomed and felt like my opinion mattered. It felt like they would move mountains to give me the wedding day I wanted. I am so blessed to have gotten married here and will always have a special place in my heart for the Taylor family and this venue!

Just what I wanted and needed!

Sarah and Chad were just the people I needed to make my wedding weekend everything I needed and more. They care so much and went above and beyond to handle every little thing. I wanted to walk through a door before I went down the isle and it wasn't standing correctly during the rehearsal, Chad built an entire new door that night so that it was ready for my wedding day.
the venue is beautiful and made for the perfect fall wedding. All of my guests were raving about how peaceful and gorgeous the land is. The reception tent was perfect and my decorator was able to make it everything I wanted and more. I highly recommend Historic Whitewood.
