Annabella at Cedar Glen Reviews

My daughter's wedding was at Annabella recently, and the experience was absolutely top-notch. Karen took all the stress off of us and worked so hard to provide a beautiful wedding. She is a consummate professional, very organized and efficient but at the same time so warm and welcoming! She and her husband keep the grounds and the indoor reception area immaculate, and everything is beautifully appointed. You have several choices for a garden wedding in the Huntsville area, and we used another venue for our other daughter's wedding just because it was too large for Annabella, but comparing the two: no contest. The wedding at Annabella was stress-free and the level of service provided was above and beyond. Very highly recommended!

Karen helped with very detail! She knows this business inside and out. Extremely organized and professional! Could not have been happier with the wedding day!!
The venue is spectacular with flower gardens, manicured landscaping, gorgeous venue inside also. Perfection was our experience.

This place was so gorgeous, the owners are incredibly helpful (through the whole process and the day of, very responsive, they have their system down like clockwork, and I’m so thankful for all they did. Our family and friends raved about this place and the people that ran it. THANK YOU!

Not only is Annabella a gorgeous venue, but Karen (the owner) is AMAZING!!! She is a wealth of knowledge, extremely helpful, and a very kind lady. For any events I would HIGHLY recommend Annabella at Cedar Glen. Our wedding was such a joyful experience and without any incident because of Karen and her husband’s hard work. They were a pleasure to work with and get to know. Any future big events we might have, I’ll be giving Karen a call. LOVE IT!!!

Annabella is an amazing venue. They include so much with their rental price and the garden is so beautiful. You have to come see it for yourself. It is a hidden gem in Huntsville. It was the perfect space for our smaller wedding. Everyone at Annabella was amazing and they know their stuff. Highly highly recommend!

My wedding was perfect! This venue is extremely beautiful and the owners have the day-of process down to a science. Karen took care of everything and made sure everything ran smoothly with the vendors. This venue includes chairs, tables, decorations, drapery linen and more. I saved a lot of money by booking a venue that included everything. The owners are extremely happy to help with anything and truly love what they do.

Everything turned out amazing and Karen and her crew were the best! They make sure your wedding day goes as smooth as possible and worry free!

Annabella was the perfect venue for our day! When we were looking for a venue, some of our wishlist included being in Huntsville or Madison, outside ceremony with a backup indoor area, and beautiful. This met all of our criteria, and more! Annabella surprised us both with its affordable price ranges, amenities, and beautiful venue space. The ceremony space was beautiful, and due to its location, is shaded for most of the afternoon & evening, which helped with the humid, Alabama summer. One of the best parts of this venue was Karen, the venue owner. She not only owns the venue, but works with brides to insure they don't forget any details. She also works as a day-off coordinator, with additional staff she provides. Overall, it was a wonderful choice of venue and we wouldn't have wanted anything to be different!

Annabella at Cedar Glen offers a lovely venue. Karen does a fantastic job coordinating every detail, even the ones that I forgot. She helped shape even my vaguest ideas into reality. All of my emails were promptly answers with helpful suggestions. In the planning process, I was able to work with many referred vendors who did amazing work. The property is gorgeous and can be adapted to rain or shine. They were able to keep all of our guests accommodated. Events proceeded smoothly thanks to the day of coordinators. I can't thank Annabella at Cedar Glen and their staff enough for going above and beyond for us. I would highly recommend them. Our wedding was truly perfect thanks to their efforts!

Everyone LOVED Annabella! Our guests can’t stop talking about how beautiful it was! Karen helped organize everything and acted as a coordinator (rehearsal, day of, ceremony and reception, including announcements and dances). Annabella is so beautiful- there’s really not much needed to decorate, and Karen let us use the decorations she had so we didn’t have to buy our own. She also gave bubbles out to our guests when we misplaced ours. She worked really hard to make our day special and run smoothly and it was perfect thanks to them!! Definitely would choose Annabella if I had to do it all again!

Karen and her staff were great! We couldn't ask for a more beautiful day for our daughter and son-in-law. The venue outside area was well manicured and the inside beautiful. We were offered advice but never felt forced to take it. We cannot say enough good things. The only draw back was the early close 9:30. Overall....we would use this venue again.

Karen and her staff at Annabella were terrific! They were there for everything we needed and kept the day flowing smoothly. We were able to customize our timeline and never felt rushed from one activity to the next. They coordinated with all of the vendors and family members so the groom and I did not have to worry about a single thing on our big day! The only thing I wish was different was a later end time for the wedding. Everyone was having such a great time and it was hard to see it shut down at 9:30. All in all, they made it a very smooth and enjoyable day for us and I would highly recommend this venue to others!

This venue is absolutely amazing! The outside areas are so beautiful that you barely have to add any flowers. Just put your special touch on things and it is good to go. The staff there were also amazing. Not only did they orchestrate the whole day from beginning to end (so you basically have wedding planners who have specifically been working the venue every weekend for years!), but they also go out of their way to make sure everything goes perfectly the way you want it on your wedding day! I am so happy i chose to have my wedding at this venue and highly recommended it to anyone who wants an absolutely amazing, stress free, already beautiful venue!

My husband, family, and I were beyond pleased with Annabella (Karen and Joanne). I fell in love with the venue the first day we went to go see it, and Karen made me feel right at home and made the decision to choose them so easy. The grounds are absolutely stunning and having a beautiful indoor option as a backup was a huge plus because you never know when it comes to Alabama weather. Of course, our wedding day ended up being cold (temps in the 40s) after being warm all week, but Karen and Joanne worked with us so we could have the outdoor wedding we wanted. They allowed our guests to sit inside in the warmth until it was time for us to line up, and the reception was inside as previously planned. They helped everything flow so smoothly, and I had no worries on wedding day because of their professionalism and thoughtfulness. I had numerous family and friends telling me how much they loved the venue and how well everything seemed to run. I am so thankful we chose Annabella as our venue and would highly recommend them to anyone!

The place is gorgeous and I can't wait to have my wedding there in June

I could not have dreamed of a better venue for my wedding. Karen was AMAZING to work with. She was very timely in all her responses to my many questions and kept everything running smoothly from the day we choose the venue to the minute we left from the reception. Her and her team are phenomenal at what they do. I was confident in their abilities to take care of my ceremony and reception needs and that let me enjoy my wedding all the more. Apart from the services, the venue is gorgeous. It has an intimate garden wedding feel while still holding a large amount of guests. The trees and greenery make for an amazing backdrop and the string lights at night add just the right amount of romantic feel. Overall, I had an amazing experience and am so thankful that I found Annabella at Cedar Glen.

It was so amazing to work with the Karen and her husband for our July wedding. They made sure the evening progressed seamlessly and took the stress out of the whole affair so we could enjoy. They are truly lovely: friendly, professional and helpful- don't plan on getting married a second time but if I did....would definitely use them again. ;)

Needless to say, they are the best!

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and it wouldn't have been without Karen and Joanne. They went above and beyond for our special day. They made the process super easy and stress free. Karen was always quick to respond to every question I had along the way. The venue is absolutely beautiful inside and out. They have their own decorations to use if needed and outside is beautiful in the spring and summer, so you don't have to splurge on outdoor decor. There are 3 locations on site to get married, and the outside is perfectly shaded. Plenty of places for a photo op too. We are so so thankful for having them to help us on our special day. It couldn't have gone more smoother. Thank you both so much!

This was the best venue I could have possibly found. The team there is wonderful and made my day super easy and stress free. Super nice on top of that. I would recommend this place to anybody getting married.

It was an excellent experience and the people are exceptionally wonderful! And have I mentioned how beautiful the venue is?! It's breath taking. My wedding was definitely the major topic between family and friends for a whole week after. Thank you Annabella for making it perfect!

Superb place and staff. A must have place for a small or private weeding; it provides an event coordinator that makes the event a breeze, worry free, and let you enjoy the moment rather than worry about it. A great plus is that they have a list of recommend reputable services that deliver quality service on time. My son's weeding was a beautiful, memorable event that I was able to enjoy to the fullest thanks to Annabella's staff. The place is so beautiful that is worthy of a scene of a movie frame. It is filled with details for a photo event from the outside, to the wedding place, and to the inside of the house to the walking and dancing place. The Annabella is so beautiful that backdrops scenes are so amazing that every photo or movie clips is filled with beauty. Thank you Annnabella for making my son's wedding a beautiful memorable event.

THIS is the way to do a wedding. My daughter and her fiance, who both live out of town, wanted a sweet, quite, and serene place to have an average size wedding. From the front, and based on the pictures, Annabella at Cedar Glen was perfect. Once inside, and after our first meeting, we were so impressed. The warmth and charm of the antebellum home were matched by the kindness and professionalism of the owner and staff. Karen Archambault provides a beautiful setting and a comfortable place to prepare for and hold a dream wedding. I leaned on her so much for the details that were so important. I would recommend this venue to a friend or family member happily, as I would love to be a guest at this gorgeous venue again!

I picked this venue for my wedding, and I was not disappointed. Prior to the wedding day, Karen and her team were consistently responsive to any inquiry that I had and very accommodating. The day-of coordination was flawless. Each hour ran smoothly into the next without any dead time. The gardens were gorgeous and exactly what I imagined for my outdoor wedding. I definitely recommend this venue.

Our wedding at Anabella was beautiful. Everyone is so easy to work with and they were more than accommodating to our every need. I didn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day because Karen took care of absolutely everything for me. The venue itself is beautiful and requires little need for much more decorating. I have nothing bad to say about my experience with Anabella. They were the absolute best option for our wedding and I couldn't be happier!

Annabella was the perfect place for my wedding. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is all friendly and knowledgeable and willing to help in any way possible! They offered centerpieces for us to use (which saved us a lot from the florist); the ladies there are amazing planners and coordinators (at no extra cost). They will even DJ your event if you want! They made sure that my husband and I were able to eat and prepared us plates while we took pictures. They are fantastic about working with (or around) the weather-very accommodating and flexible. I hope lots of other people get to spend their special day there!

After getting engaged last year and beginning the search for a venue, we randomly stumbled across Annabella at Cedar Glen. We’re not from the Huntsville area (we live almost 3 hours away in Tuscaloosa), so we had some reservations about choosing a venue that wasn’t close to home, but Annabella was exactly where we envisioned having our wedding and after visiting, we knew we’d found the right place. For months, we were asked why we were getting married in Huntsville, and I don’t think anyone completely understood until they actually got to Annabella on our wedding day and saw how beautiful it is in person. Not only is it an absolutely gorgeous venue, there is also SO much included in the price you pay – from table linens, to café lights, to day-of coordination, to excellent vendor recommendations. Those things alone really take a lot of planning stress and expense away from the bride & groom. Most importantly, Karen and Joanne were absolutely amazing to work with. Karen always responded to my emails quickly every time I had a question and was always so helpful. The day of the wedding, Karen and Joanne worked SO hard setting everything up and keeping everyone on schedule. Because I knew they had everything under control, I was able to relax and completely enjoy our wedding day. It also made me feel so reassured to know that they were monitoring the weather and that our entire wedding could be moved inside if needed (luckily, despite a forecast showing a 90% chance of thunderstorms, we only got a few drops of rain during photos and then we had perfect weather for our ceremony and reception). Karen and Joanne really went above and beyond in every way and I can’t thank them enough for making our wedding even better than I imagined. I’m so glad we choose Annabella and I highly recommend them!

I had the most perfect wedding day thanks to the wonderful ladies at Annabella. Not only do they provide an absolutely beautiful venue, but their planning and coordination is second to none. Mrs. Karen and Mrs. Joanne went above and beyond to help with every detail for my big day. I seriously cannot say enough great things about them. Our guests loved the venue and kept saying how beautiful everything was. If I could get married a hundred times, I would choose Annabella every time! Thank you so much for making my wedding day absolutely perfect!

My ceremony and reception were both held at Annabella. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and Karen, Danny, and their team were wonderful to work with! They were very accomodating and made sure my day was everything I wanted it to be. They covered every little detail and were very calm and organized even when it began to rain and they had to shuffle things around to fit everyone inside for the reception. They kept the whole day flowing smoothly so I didn't have to worry about a thing. I would definitely recommend Annabella, as they will make sure you have a beautiful wedding!

This is a wonderful venue for ant type of celebration/event. The owners are great people. They do such a good job helping you plan and making sure everything is perfect. They are there the whole day of the event and keep everything flowing like it's supposed to. They took all my stress away. They just redid some things and it's absolutely gorgeous.

Karen and staff could not have been more accommodating and gracious. There wasn't anything that we asked for that wasn't made available to us. The amount of assistance given to us on the day of the wedding was a life saver. Karen jumped right in and was helping with decorating and smiling the whole time! A pure joy to work with and we were thrilled with Annabella.

Choosing Annabella as my venue was the best decision I made regarding my wedding. Karen and her staff were amazing and so helpful from the first email that I sent inquiring until the very end of my reception. She returned all emails promptly, and was always available to answer my questions during my wedding planning. During the ceremony/reception, I never had to worry about a thing and could concentrate on celebrating with my guests. They took care of all the details.
The venue is also incredibly beautiful and well kept. I only had to use minimal decorations.
My reception was supposed to an indoor/outdoor setup, but because it was so cold, the entire reception had to be moved indoors at the last minute. This was not a problem for the staff at Annabella.
I highly recommend Annbella at Cedar Glen. I could not have had a better experience there.

We were very happy with our choice of Annabella at Cedar Glen as a venue for our wedding and reception. The day couldn't have been more perfect, and much of that is due to the beautiful atmosphere and ambiance afforded by the garden at Annabella.

While the contract at Annabella may at first be slightly intimidating (they like to cross their "t"s and dot their "i"s and insure that their property is taken care of!), the reality working with Karen at Annabella was that they were incredibly flexible and accommodating. When I had questions or concerns, they quickly found answers and solutions.

On the day of, they were very present and on the hop to make sure everything went smoothly. Every bride's fear - it rained on our wedding day! However, what could have been dampening on the energy of the day turned into one of the coolest elements of the days. The rain came just after dinner and they made an announcement 15 minutes before it was due to arrive (because they'd been carefully watching the weather for just such an event!) and the tables were cleared and everyone moved into the gazebos where we'd meant to have our dancing anyway.

Absolutely recommended, for the quality of service and the beautiful venue.

Annabella at Cedar Glen is the most beautiful and wonderful venue to host a wedding. My and wife and I are perfectionists, and we could not of asked for a more perfect wedding and reception. The ceremony site outside is so gorgeous with large trees and lush shrubs and flowers; it is a perfect site for a spring wedding. Between the catering, dance floor, and tables, Annabella has everything you need for the metrics of your wedding. The house even has a separate upstairs with two separate rooms for bride and groom parties to get ready for the wedding. Karen and her staff are completely professional and have a lot of experience with weddings. They took a lot off our plate and helped immensely on our special day. Our wedding was absolutely perfect! We highly recommend Annabella at Cedar Glen.

I am so thankful that my Husband and I chose to have our wedding at Annabella at Cedar Glen. Not only is the Venue Beautiful inside and Out but Karen and her staff are such Great people to work with. Karen is the Perfect wedding Director and ensures that everything Runs smoothly and accommodates any request you have throughout the reception. We did not have to worry about anything on the wedding day as the staff had it all under control which made it stress-free on us. Not only are they wonderful to work with They include the Table & white table linens, chairs, some small centerpieces, centerpiece accessories, baskets, candy table accessories and a lot more. They are so thoughtful and helpful throughout the entire day and night, the grounds are romantic and it’s just over all a Beautiful place. We couldn’t have been any happier...our wedding was everything we wanted & more!!! I Highly recommend Annabella at Cedar Glen to anyone looking for a gorgeous venue for an wedding.

The perfect place for my wedding. It was beyond anything I ever imagined.

We were able to pull a very beautiful wedding with our close friends and family on very short notice with the help of the owners at Annabella's. They went above and beyond my expectations on the services they provided and the venue is amazing!

First off I would like to say that I am the groom, so for me to write this review should say something. I cannot express how happy my wife and I are with Annabella. Karen and her husband are absolutely amazing. They work year round to keep the grounds and house immaculate, not to mention the coordinating of our actual ceremony. We could not have possibly imagined what was in store when we first visited Annabella. Karen and Danny have become our friends. My wife and I were stressed to the breaking point leading up to our wedding, as soon as we arrived at Annabella Karen took control and our worries vanished. She is incredible, the grounds are impecable. Without question, we would tell you not to think twice about booking your wedding with them. Thank you so much Karen and Danny!

Karen was absolutely wonderful! The location is amazing and it was exactly what we wanted. They made the whole day go so smooth and I had so many people say it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to!

The venue, Annabella, and the staff were wonderful. We had seen the place and the photos done there from a previous wedding we attended, and we knew that was where we had to have ours. We couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect venue!!!

Karen and the crew at Annabella were fabulous to work with. She handled all the details of the ceremony and reception, from decorating the reception tables to coordinating the flow of the ceremony. It was a totally stress-free day. Nothing was too big or too small for her to handle; all we needed to do was enjoy our day. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. The venue is beautiful and was perfect for our needs. Would absolutely use them again if the guest list was the right size.

The staff at Annabella over exceeded my expectations! They were so friendly and always willing to help and answer questions. Our rehearsal ran smoothly. The wedding and reception ran smoothly as well. It rained about 10 minutes before my wedding was about to begin, and the staff was diligent in getting the chairs dried off so we could start the ceremony. The venue itself is just so beautiful. You don't need a lot of decor, as the natural ambiance of the place is gorgeous by itself. It is very spacious and has a lot of variety. I would highly recommend this venue.

Beautiful place!!! Wonderful service and the people are great to work with! Everything was taken care of on our wedding day, we did not have to worry about clean up, you have to get there the day before or the day of to decorate (if there is not a wedding on the day before yours) and I fully recommend them to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, outdoor, quite, southern style wedding! T

I absolutely LOVED having my wedding at Annabella & I really cant say enough great things about this venue!!! We had everyone's wedding nightmare happen...we were getting married on April 30th & a tornado hit our area 3 days before our wedding & we had to postpone to a later date. After the storm was over, our phone lines (& most cell towers) were down & Karen (the owner) kept calling until she was able to get in touch with us. When we talked, she had already spoken to all of my vendors for me. I didnt have to worry about a thing because she took care of it. When she couldnt get in touch with our florist she drove to the store & left a note on the door. I would have been a wreck if it wasnt for her. Our rescheduled wedding was July 22nd (this past Friday) & we had the best wedding ever!!! I couldnt imagine anyone wanting to get married anywhere else. Karen & Joanne were both so organized . They were incredibly nice to our wedding party & all the guests. Both ladies were willing to do whatever they can to help make your day special! I hear other brides talking about being stressed out but we never had to worry about a thing. Anytime we (or our guests) needed anything they were right there. Annabella is such a beautiful place to get married! The grounds are immaculate, there are flowers everywhere & it's just a really romantic, beautiful place. We looked at a ton of venues in Huntsville & nothing even compared to Annabella in our eyes. They already have everything you need too...tables, chairs, linens, centerpieces, etc. We couldnt have been any happier...our wedding was everything we wanted & more!!!

Our wedding was absolutely wonderful and it was all thanks to the location and the fantastic staff at Annabella's. We are from Atlanta and planning a wedding in Alabama seemed like a very daunting task, but Beth and Karen worked with us to give us the wedding we wanted. On the day of the wedding, I did not have to think twice about where things were or what event was next since the staff had it completely under control. Everyone had a wonderful time and some of our friends came up to us and told us that the wedding looked like a scene from a movie. Thank you Annabella's for making this an unforgettable experience. I recommend this location to anyone looking for a gorgeous venue for an outdoor or indoor wedding.

Not only is this place beautiful, the people there are so awesome! They have made my wedding simply beautiful. They are there every second to help me, and make sure whatever I needed done was done right the first time. My Grandfather was the preacher for the wedding, and is in a wheelchair; they made sure he had everything he needed to be comfortable. The setting couldn't have been more gorgeous, and thanks to the staff's recommendations we found a wonderful florist that works with them (thanks Sysco!) and a caterer who rocked named Becky Hartley!! They made me one happy bride and my wedding guests were blown away thanks to them!

I fell in love with this place the first time I saw it. The place is just completely gorgeous. And the staff was wonderful too. Plus, what we got for our money was just outstanding. For the price we paid, we got all tables and chairs, all the linens, set up, clean up, and ceremony coordination. Of the few places we looked, this is the most beautiful place to get married in the Huntsville area.

I absolutely LOVED this site for my ceremony and reception! I can't think of ONE thing that I didn't love about it. It also helped that you didn't have to worry about decorations, etc. They place is beautiful!!! I would make this a MUST SEE when trying to decide on a location for your wedding. I had the most perfect outdoor wedding here :)

I could not have been happier with my wedding at Annabella! The house and outside areas are so beautiful. We got married in June and the everything was perfect...literally! The weather was nice, all the plants outside were beautiful and the lawn manicured, and the coordinators were so friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for anything better!

Annabella is an absolutely beautiful place for a wedding! Karen, the manager and owner, was so helpful to me and my daughter in planning and orchestrating her wedding. They definitely have an effective system. She was very responsive to our needs and concerns. Everything went seamlessly!

Annabella at Cedar Glen is a gorgeous venue and is reasonably priced. Karen was amazing at coordinating every detail for the wedding, rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. My emails were always promptly answered. Karen has vendor recommendations and we used several different ones from her list and they all did an amazing job. There are so many lovely locations for photographs on the grounds. I am so grateful to Karen and her staff for making my daughter's wedding perfect and stress free. I highly recommend Annabella at Cedar Glen. The day was all that we dreamed it could be!

Karen and Joanna from Annabella at Cedar Glen are simply amazing! From the first time we viewed Annabella, my husband and I loved it. Karen and her husband keep the grounds so beautiful, you honestly don't have to do a thing for your wedding if didn't want too. We booked our date soon after. Karen was always helpful in the year leading up to the wedding. I would email her with questions or recommendations for other vendors, she was always quick to respond. In the weeks before the wedding we had a final meeting to set details like: reserved seating, tables, processional, recessional, music and many other things. She asked me things I hadn't even thought of. The Thursday before the wedding we had our rehearsal. Karen and Joanna were ready to go right on time. They were very organized and took notes on exactly how I wanted the music played out. They explained every step and did practice run throughs with us and then on Saturday afternoon with some people who were missing. On the big day, I can't tell you half the things that went on because I was trying to get ready and do pictures. The ladies handle it wonderfully. They would come up every now and again to ask a question, but they directed all the vendors, help set up, played the music, alerted us when it was time for another event and so many other things. Karen's husband is also a big help, with tours, setting up and helping our bartender out. Without their DOC, it would have been a mess. Thank you Annabella for the most amazing day. We loved every minute of it!

Karen at Annabella was invaluable to our wedding. We are an out of town couple and she was quick to respond to emails about questions we might have, great to suggest vendors we might be interested in, and easy to plan our meetings with around our travel schedule.
She and Joanne were monumental at making our wedding day go as perfectly as planned and I would get married again at Annabella in a heartbeat. The venue was gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day.

I had a wonderful and stress-free wedding day, thanks to the staff at Annabella. They took care of everything the day of the ceremony. All I had to do was sit back and wait for 6:00! They could not have been more helpful and kind through the whole process.

I am soooooooo happy with my choice of Annabella's. They made planning my wedding so easy. The grounds are beautiful so I didn't have to spend much on decorations. They also have an onsite florist who is very creative! I would highly recommend this venue. You will not regret it.

I held both my wedding ceremony and reception here. The staff made my day go smoothly and perfectly and I never had to worry about anything. They truly made my day perfect!

The staff at Annabella's was great they were very helpful throughout the entire process of planning our wedding and the mini upsets on the day of the wedding. They have a beautiful property and I would recommend them to anyone.

Beautiful location, easy for guests to access, great price!

I can not say enough good things about Annabella! They have gotten new owners within the past six months whom have made many improvements. It is just gorgeous and the staff are extremely nice. They coordinate everything for you on your wedding day, and they made my day completely stress free. It was defintely worth it for the price!

Was able to come up with a compromise even though I did not use the Venue. Karen was great with working with me.
