My Dream Wedding
When I started looking for our venue, we thought about places we had history with and we had stayed at the Read House many times and loved our experiences there. I went and looked at pictures and was blown away at the renovations that had been done since we last stayed there and knew I had to have our wedding there. Andrea Richey, the Director of Sales, got me started on our journey and even gave us a tour of the venue rooms and hotel. She passed us over to Sarah Adkins, Category Sales Manager, for all our planning needs. Sarah was so helpful, responsive and friendly. She answered all our questions quickly and made the whole experience easy on me and my wedding planner. The entire staff, shout out to Dylan and his team, were beyond helpful and everyone commented on how helpful they were. I can't recommend this venue more. All of our guests gushed about how gorgeous it was. It truly made out dreams come true and made us wish we could do it all again!

Best wedding ever! 5 stars all the way.
The Read House and there staff where fabulous! We had my daughters wedding there on January 8th. It was a destination wedding and they made it so easy for us. We had guests come for a long weekend from all over the south. It couldn’t have been a better weekend and wedding. A Big shout out to Sarah, Food & Beverage staff, the hotel concierge, front desk,the waiters/ waitresses y’all where so accommodating and great to us!!! We will be back to relax and enjoy the beautiful hotel soon.

Stress-less experience!
The Read House team worked together seamlessly to insure all my needs/wants were taken care of. The food was AMAZING, we had a plated dinner for 50 and every guest commented how delicious it was. The hotel itself is incredibly beautiful, made for a wonderful place for my guests to “wander” about, and lots of gorgeous photos. Guests who stayed overnight were very pleased with rooms and cleanliness. You cannot recreate the cool jazzy-vibe ambience of The Read House Hotel anywhere else. Highly recommend!!!
