    Dream come true!

    The ladies at Southern House and Garden went above and beyond for our dream wedding! We cannot say enough good things about the venue, everything was amazing and went exactly as planned, if not better. We were so thankful for the wedding day director Tina, she did an amazing job keeping us on track and following out requests. Terri she Angi made planning so easy and made our dream wedding happen. We wanted our dogs included in our wedding, so we were so excited that the venue did allow pets. The dogs started to get over heated and were taken to the air conditioning to cool down. Everyone had so much fun and we received so many compliments! The venue was so beautiful and I couldn’t imagine going with any other venue.

    Southern House & Garden's reply:

    We want to say thank you, Ashley & Bryan, for choosing Southern House and Garden for your wedding day we enjoyed working with you and hosting your family and friends on your special day.

    Wishing you the best!

    Wedding Day

    The process with this place was so easy and effortless. They accommodated all my requests. Helped me create a vision if I was unsure. They went above and beyond before and the day of the wedding. So grateful for them!

    Hey Ashley,

    Sincerely,

    Wonderful Day

    Southern House and Garden took care of everything. It was a beautiful day and a little hot, but couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue. The flowers were gorgeous and it was a special day for Adam and Megan.

    Southern House & Garden's reply:

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures and yes, Alabama summers are hot, but we always have summer weddings!

    Beautiful but...

    The venue itself is beautiful. What attracted me to Southern House & Garden is the beauty and the fact that they handle a lot of the details. It was definitely expensive- we paid $18,000 for the Bella package for 120 people but I was willing to spend the money. What really disappointed me about this venue is that our wedding was the week everything started closing down due to
    COVID. We had to cut our guest list down from 120 guests to 20 guests with little notice (government mandated) and they refused to give us any sort of discount. So I ended up paying them $18,000 for a 20 person wedding to get dressed there (not even make up. Literally just to put on my dress), to have the ceremony in the chapel, to take pictures there, and for the food and wedding cake. Almost a year later and I’m still bitter about the amount of money we spent there for a 20 person wedding. Would have been so much happier if they would have refunded even a small portion of the cost.

    Southern House & Garden's reply:

    Dear Melissa,
    Its unfortunate that the covid-19 mandate hit a few days prior to your wedding day of 3/21/2020 and our Governor decided to limit the number of people at gatherings , I'm sure you understand that was out of our control.
    As you know your wedding was planned out months prior to your wedding day and everything was implemented as planned , from the flowers and decor to the menu and cakes, which we boxed up for you to take per your request .
    This past year has been very unpredictable and hard for everyone, and we are sorry your guest were not able to attend your special day. Unfortunately many people have missed out on celebrations this past year.



    We wish you and Hunter many years of love and happiness.

    The Dunlap's Loved Southern House & Garden

    This venue was great! They handled everything and made the bridal experience stress free so we were able to enjoy our big day and not worry about a thing. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a pretty country side location with excellent, accommodating staff! My only advice is if you plan to have over 150-200 people or more, it can be crowded.

    The Best Day and Best Venue

    SHG did an amazing job with my wedding! I loved how they attended to every detail and tailored it to what we needed for our big day. The food was great and everyone enjoyed the venue! There are so many different spots for pictures and it is definitely a beautiful view. I couldn't have survived wedding planning or the wedding day itself if it weren't for Angie and Chelsea and the rest of the amazing staff!!! I highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants to keep wedding planning easy by using one vendor for everything. They truly are experts and know how to plan it all perfectly.

    They gave me everything i wanted when I tried to describe my dream wedding. I dont remember much because the day went by so fast, but I have beautiful pictures of the beautiful flower arrangements, cake and decorations they created for me! They were very helpful and understanding about things I wanted for my big day, even if they were a little... different (tehe)! We had a short 5 month engagement, so we were very lucky to get a Spring wedding date AND having the stress of plannning flowers, catering, cake, decorating, AND cleaning up after off of mine and my mom's shoulders was a HUGE relief and SO worth it.

    So glad I picked Southern House and Garden as my wedding venue! Everything was stunning!! It was a little more pricey than we hoped but it was worth it! You can pick from a variety of different packages and you can substitute for certain things if you would like. All of th staff is wonderful! I would not have changed anything :)

    Southern House and Garden was a great choice for my husband and me. Leading right up to our wedding I was finishing my degree, so I needed a place that would do most everything for me, which SH&G did. They really saved me from a lot of unnecessary stress.

    Southern House and Garden was a wonderful venue for us to have both our wedding and reception. Terri and Angie were a pleasure to work with during the planning stages and the staff were very professional and accommodating. Our day came together perfectly (even with all of the rain) and I would definitely recommend Southern House and Garden to any future newlyweds for their wedding venue!

    i will be the first to say that I was not easy to work with!!! I really didn't have any opinions on flowers, music, decorations, etc. I just wanted to be married. EVERYONE at SHG was AMAZING and made everything look perfect and beautiful!! I didn't even have a rehearsal and everything still went off without a hitch! (Thanks Chelsea!). I would recommend this venue to EVERYONE!!! My wedding day was everything I could have hoped it would be.

    I knew the moment I found Southern House and Garden I had to have my wedding here. I knew I wanted a outSide wedding with a barn and this was perfect.Angie, Terri, and Chelsea made everything stress free and enjoyable. Everything from the flowers to the food was perfect.

    After getting engaged, the search for the perfect venue began right away. Because I was still working on my nursing degree, we needed a venue that was all inclusive but also had the "look" I was envisioning. After contacting Southern House and Garden, I received a phone call right away and scheduled an appointment. To say we fell in love with the venue, its charm and the southern hospitality displayed by its owners and employees would be an understatement. After the first appointment, we never looked back. I emailed back and forth with Chelsea (the amazingly talented wedding director employed by Southern House and Garden) with pictures and links to my dream wedding Pinterest boards, and she nailed every bit of it. I have an uncle with Parkinson's Disease, so, my main priority for the wedding day was ensuring he would be able to get around easily on the grounds. Angie, Terri and Chelsea really paid attention to this detail and went above and beyond to make accommodations. I can honestly say that I have never been as laid back and stress free as I was on our wedding day. Things ran so smoothly! Even with the rain, I never worried about things being taken care of. It was the perfect day!! The flowers were beautiful, snacks were provided for the wedding party (Chelsea even chased me down making sure I at least ate a few crackers), music was playing in the background while everyone was getting dressed, our grandparents had a place to relax until the ceremony and the food was delicious!! One of my favorite things about the entire wedding day were the few minutes my husband and I had to ourselves behind closed doors to eat our first meal as husband and wife after the ceremony. It was really special and something we appreciated so much. It was details like this that made our day truly unforgettable. If we had to do over again, we would choose Southern House and Garden a million times over!! Thanks so much to everyone involved for making our day a true fairytale.

    The ladies at Southern House and Garden truly made all my wedding dreams come true. They spent countless hours listening to my vision and executed each detail perfectly. I truly appreciate how open they were to all the unconventional ideas my family and I had. Everyone is still raving about the flowers, table settings and location. My husband and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you!!
