"A Dream Wedding Come True at The Elms"

From the very beginning, Casey and Lisa made our entire wedding experience at The Elms truly unforgettable. The moment we arrived for our initial tour, we were warmly welcomed with kindness and professionalism. What stood out most was their genuine approach, unlike other venues that came across as overly pushy or sales-driven, Casey and Lisa never pressured us to commit. Instead, they allowed the beauty and value of The Elms to speak for itself, and that authenticity made a huge difference in our decision.

The property itself is absolutely breathtaking. Nestled in a serene and natural setting, The Elms boasts expansive grounds, mature trees, and charming architectural details that provide a picture-perfect backdrop without the need for excessive décor. In fact, the venue’s natural beauty significantly reduced our need to invest heavily in floral arrangements or decorations, everything already felt magical.

One of the greatest advantages of The Elms is their flexibility with planning options. They offer several service packages to fit a variety of needs. Whether you choose to utilize their in-house planning team or work with your own vendors like we did, Casey and Lisa are there every step of the way. They coordinated seamlessly with our outside planner and made sure everything ran smoothly leading up to and on the big day. Their level of communication, attention to detail, and commitment to making our vision come to life were unmatched.

Thanks to The Elms, our wedding day was more than we ever dreamed it could be. From the stunning ceremony space to the warm and supportive staff, everything came together perfectly. We are beyond grateful to have chosen The Elms and highly recommend it to any couple looking for a venue that’s not only beautiful but also run by people who truly care.

Forever Thankful,
Caje and Lindsey Naranjo

The Elms, an old Civil War mansion, is a beautiful, relaxing venue for a wedding, party, family reunion, or company picnic! Janet Waldo and her family open their home to families to come and experience a very special time in your life. In our case, a wedding!Janet was very helpful and encouraging throughout the whole process. We will always have precious memories of our little girl's wedding day and we are grateful for the opportunity to have The Waldos and The Elms to assist us for our special event!

We loved this venue from the first moment we toured and they did not disappoint! We had a six month turn around from the time we got engaged to the time we got married, and Savannah, our wedding coordinator, provided by the Elms, was able to make the planning so easy. Even though sometimes I felt like I was being crazy, she was always reassuring, and able to answer all the questions I had. She put us on to great vendors (caterer, etc.) and was always available by text (which is more than amazing). The day of the wedding she made sure everything ran smoothly, and was always available to help.

We had a few minor technical difficulties during the reception, but it all worked out in the end. Everyone had a wonderful time, and told us how beautiful the house was, and how wonderful everything looked.

It was the wedding we wanted - Southern garden party feel, and just so beautiful.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
