Historic Wedding Venues in Panhandle

Bellingrath Gardens was the perfect spot for our event. Not only were they able to assist with vendors, but they responded quickly to every question or need that came up. There was so little for me to be troubled with that I felt a little guilty. The team is incredible, Haley was especially responsive and helpful and the venue is gorgeous! You really should see it in person.

Lovely house! Patricia is great!!

My mother in law got married there. Great price. Great staff. Beautiful decoration

We always enjoy working along Sandy and her staff. Very helpful throughout the entire day! 10/10 recommend!

We booked this venue sight unseen and it did not disappoint. There is no detail unattended to in this beautiful historic inn. We live out of state and many of our guest were coming from out of town so we had the entire inn reserved for our wedding weekend. Amanda was extremely helpful and patient through all of the email and communication leading up to our wedding day. She has a great relationship with local vendors and a lot of knowledge about Fort Conde Inn that made planning our wedding so much easier. Ashley was another great asset to Fort Conde Inn and was so sweet and kind to all of our guests, making them feel take care of. The chef Robbie was so personable and the breakfast was amazing. Having our guests together in the dining room and courtyard was a great way to start our day and made for great community and conversation. As a bed and breakfast, it’s a great place to stay and the rooms are beautifully and comfortably furnished. All of the staff are amazing and their hospitality is unparalleled. As a wedding venue, it is like something out of a story book and we can’t believe how fortunate we were to have been able to start our married life together at Fort Conde Inn. We look forward to visiting again!

5Eleven was the perfect venue for our wedding!!! We had 115 guests - ceremony in the courtyard, cocktail hour inside, and the reception out on the lawn! The bridal suite was a perfect getting ready space! Stephanie and Lauren were both so helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. Lauren especially stepped in seamlessly when she joined the team. I really appreciated how she offered to set up a meeting to make sure we picked up right where things left off & that we felt good going into the final stretch! They were also SOOOO helpful with linens (I went over probably 5 different times to look at all the swatches LOL). On the day of Lauren & additional 5Eleven staff were always around if we had any questions. And on top of all of that, the space itself is absolutely beautiful and made for the perfect backdrop for the entire day. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out & would absolutely recommend 5Eleven for your wedding or any special event!!!

Where to even start...the Fairhope Inn was our saving grace in a year full of uncertainty and changed plans. When my husband and I started planning our wedding in early 2020, we were going to have it on my family’s farm in North Mississippi. Even after COVID hit, we still kept this plan because it would be outside, in October, and people could spread out and still have a good time. However, in the summer, when the restrictions on number of people allowed in gatherings tightened, we knew that it would no longer be possible to have the farm wedding and even include all of our family members. We both live in the Mobile area, so we started looking at local venues since the restrictions here were not so tight. One weekend in July, we came across the Fairhope Inn. Just stepping onto the lovely porch and seeing the swing (which are special to me and my family), I felt an overwhelming sense that this was going to be the place where we got married. That sense faltered a bit when we spoke with one of the owners, Jeffrey, who said that they were likely already booked up for October since it’s such a popular month for weddings. However, after checking the schedule, they had one weekend open, and it just so happened to be the date that we had chosen back in March. We were so relieved and felt as if it was meant to be. Jeffrey and all others who worked at the Inn during the months of planning and the wedding weekend itself were all beyond helpful and kind. The food (not just at the wedding, but their breakfast, brunch, and regular dinner) was all delicious and thoughtfully prepared. My parents and grandparents stayed in the rooms inside the Inn, while I stayed in the cottage. All of the ladies got their hair and makeup done together in the cottage, and it later became our newlywed suite as well. It was an ideal space for everything! The courtyard, with its beautiful gazebo and tranquil fountain, were the absolutely perfect setting for our ceremony and then for our reception as well. The band was able to set up a stage under the tent, which turned the courtyard into an awesome dance floor. The florist (Katherine of Jubilee Flowers, also in Fairhope) had an already-beautiful canvas to add to, and she even decorated the porch swing that had captured my heart on that first day. To say that we had a dream wedding at this venue doesn’t even do it justice. I may be biased, but it was the most beautiful wedding, and that’s thanks in (big) part to the Fairhope Inn for hosting it.
