Amazing experience

We could not have chosen a better venue. Our coordinator Allison was so on top of things and made the whole day flow easily. Venue itself was gorgeous. Guests had a blast. We could not recommend the team here more highly and are so glad we chose them for our wedding day

If I could rate this venue a million stars, I would!

We had to move our wedding back locally on short notice giving us only 5mos to plan a big traditional wedding, when we’d originally planned to elope with only immediate family.

Magnolia Bells has packages that make wedding planning a breeze if you’re super busy, or working and unable to take a vacation to plan a wedding or hire a planner.

They took care of everything, made it stress free and magical, and nearly everything was included in the package with extremely straightforward packaging. We had access to amazing bridal suites, the chapel, all grounds for pictures, they provided the DJ, and even included a wedding cake, catering, dance floor monogram, Photo Booth, sparkler send off, and custom bar package. They offered recommendations for hair, makeup, and even officiants. I was thrilled with nearly every single one of their suggestions, though I chose to use a close friend to make our Wedding cake.

We even asked to customize a couple things and switch to a different dessert provider with some speciality desserts. They accommodated, and it didn’t even raise our price! It kept us within my budget, they let our puppy be a part of the ceremony and our first dance, and everyone has been raving about it since.

One other thing to note: I’m not the girl that’s been planning my wedding since I was a kid. I haven’t been in, or attended very many weddings, and didn’t really know what I was doing or where to start. My job keeps me insanely busy, and to suddenly switch from eloping to a big traditional wedding had me overwhelmed. Sheila, the owner, and her reps including Summer…. Took 95% of the stress out of this day.

The other 5%… trying not to trip or sweat or cry walking down the aisle lol!

I cannot thank their team enough. They saved our wedding, and made it the most memorable magical day.

could not have been more satisfied

We could not have been more satisfied with this wedding facility. My daughter was so pleased with every aspect of the process and wedding day. The owner and coordinator were professional, helpful, attentive, and so much more. The venue itself was beautiful and needed little decoration. The fact that we had to deal with nothing on the wedding day was a huge plus. They take care of everything. It rained, we were already doing the wedding inside, but it went seamlessly. The alcohol vendor was just as accommodating and helpful as well as professional. Nothing bad to say about our whole experience with Magnolia Bells. Thanks so much to all of their staff for making the day as perfect as it could be.

Dream Venue and Amazing Coordinators!

I cannot say enough good things about Magnolia Bells. We had to reschedule our wedding due to the pandemic, and they helped us change the date seamlessly. We got a package through the venue, which made everything so stress free! I am a person who can get stressed pretty easily, so I always worried I wouldn’t enjoy the wedding planning process/the big event itself. They took all of that stress away because they are so thorough and detail oriented. Throughout the planning and meeting process they go through every detail you could think of and even bring up things you wouldn’t think about. They really did make my dream wedding come to life! I told them my vision, told them what decorations I was bringing and what I wanted to use from their collection, and they made it happen! I even baked my own desserts and brought them to set up a dessert table, and they set all that up too! We didn’t have to think of a thing on our wedding day other than enjoying the moment, so we had a blast on our wedding day. They even made sure everything was moving according to schedule on the day of by walking around to help with anything and everything, giving you very subtle reminders to not spend too long talking to one table, etc.
They are truly phenomenal, especially Natalie who we worked with the most. Thank you guys so much from the bottom of our hearts! We had such an amazing wedding experience with you guys!! It felt as close to perfect as you can get 😊

Best wedding venue

After being proposed to in December 2020, we knew we wanted a quick engagement. So between Christmas and New Years Eve, my best friend and I toured 4 wedding venues in one day. There was no doubt in my mind... it was Magnolia Bells for the win! From the tour with Sheila (who I've adopted as my new aunt) on 12/29/20 to the end of our wedding night on 5/21/21, the relationship, communication, organization, and service with Magnolia Bells has been TOP KNOTch! This venue knows exactly what they're doing: several package options, pricing laid out, in-house bar, relationships with the top wedding food vendors, in-house DJ, security, tables, chairs, linens, photo-booth, decorations, packing your belongings into your car, you name it... they made my life so easy and wedding planning FUN! I didn't have to stress about finding vendors, price comparing, and hoping it all came together the day of. Over the past 5 months I fell in love with their top 2 coordinators, Sheila & Natalie. They are passionate about their job and there is no doubt they made my fairytale wedding a reality! Thank you Magnolia Bells from the bottom of our hearts!

Amazing experience!

I can not say enough about this venue. They care so much about their couples and making our day the best. They were so helpful and understanding when it came to postponing due to COVID. The venue is also beautiful, as is the bridal cottage. I am so so glad I chose Magnolia Bells as my venue and would recommend it to everyone!
