Venue: The Pavilion at Mixon Farms.
I cannot say enough about this beautiful venue. It was the first and only venue that we toured because we knew right away that it was the perfect fit for us. I always knew that I wanted to get married outside, and I also knew that I wanted my ceremony and reception to be at the same venue. The Pavilion delivered on both of those fronts. This little tucked away oasis is drop dead gorgeous. I felt like I was living a dream on my wedding day as I looked around and realized that I was surrounded by greenery, natural light, and the most beautiful weather. It truly felt magical. The twinkle lights of The Pavilion, the tunnel, and the gazebo all tied in to our romantic, natural theme. The venue was the perfect size for our guest count and gave our guests plenty of space to move about and explore. I couldn’t be happier that we were married there and would choose it over and over again. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants to get married outside. You will NOT regret it.
Day of Coordinator: Jen Aaron with The Pavilion at Mixon Farms.
Jen completely blew me away with her organization, communication, and punctuality. She was very understanding of my vision and helped me bring my dream to life. She helped me pick out my linens colors based on what she knew my theme was, and decorated the venue on the day of from top to bottom. She literally handled EVERYTHING. I didn’t have to lift a single finger, and neither did my bridesmaids, friends, or family. Jen did an excellent job at keeping the wedding moving according to schedule (which I highly appreciated), and was even able to sneak me an entire bottle of my favorite wine (knowing that it was my guests’ favorite too and that it would soon be gone!). I cannot thank Jen enough for her time and dedication to my wedding. I felt so loved, cared for, and respected by her. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to get married at Mixon to hire her, Brandy, or any of the other day of coordinators there. They are so incredibly talented!

Wonderful, Amazing, Beautiful!
My wedding coordinator, Brandy, honestly became my best friend while we were setting up for the wedding. She was my hero when I forgot something, and was super helpful when I felt nervous or stressed out. The Pavilion at Mixon Farms is a beautiful venue, with an amazing staff that really does become part of your family.
