We love Karla and Joe and Shadow Wood Manor!

My wife and I are so glad that we were married there. It's such a beautiful, private, serene setting. Karla is just the loveliest person and a gracious host. She was such a delight to work with, accommodating and sweet. We'll always be grateful for such a positive experience.

Like a Hallmark Movie

This was the most beautiful venue we looked at around the Birmingham area. Everything from the covered bridge to the chandeliers were absolutely magical. We had the most amazing night here. Mrs. Karla is also the sweetest woman ever. She helped us out so much and was always patient, kind, and accommodating. We made the decision after stepping one foot in the door and had absolutely no regrets. What an incredible venue.
