Daughter's Weddings

My Daughter got married here at Southwind Acres. Everything was wonderful. The day could not have gone any smoother. Kim and her husband were great. They had everything setup & ready when we arrived. I loved that they provide tons of decoration options and setups. She even has recommendations for caterers and DJ, almost anything you could think of. The venue is beautiful and cozy. We had a wonderful time and created great memories here. I would highly recommend this venue!

Best service and all around know-how of the wedding business!!

I can’t say enough about this place, it was beautiful and so perfect for my daughter’s wedding! We absolutely loved working with Ms Kim, I don’t think there’s anything she doesn’t know about weddings! Her and James were on it, down to the small details!! She made things run so smooth, and even reminded us about all the minor things I would not even have thought of. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, you will not be disappointed!
