My wedding on 2/17/17 couldn't have gone better thanks to this amazing place. Mrs. Sue and Mrs. Colette were amazing throughout the entire experience. For anyone who is on the fence about choosing a wedding venue I wouldn't think twice about choosing Magnolia Plantation if you want great food and great service throughout the entire night. Thanks again to this wonderful place for making my special night a dream come true.

We are so glad that we selected Magnolia for our wedding reception venue. The staff was amazing and the attention to detail was amazing. I had people for weeks after the wedding telling me how the food was phenomenal and that they truly enjoyed the venue. Thank you so much for taking such great care of us at our wedding.
