My husband and I are so happy that we decided to use Harris Glen as our venue! The venue itself is beautiful and everything we wanted. The site is covered in flowers and foliage and give off a very "European" feel. The bridal suite is cute and quaint and was perfect for "getting ready pictures". Elizabeth was very communicative and tried very hard to accommodate the vision that we had. I wanted the ceremony in a wooded area that Liz had not planned on using as a ceremony site, but she made it happen and it was beautiful and everything we wanted. Liz allowed us to come visit the venue several times prior to our wedding day to ensure we were comfortable and happy with the way our wedding day would go. The venue provides a "month of" wedding coordinator that is included in the price of the venue. The coordinator Tonya is awesome! When we met with her for the first time she swept our worries and anxieties away. Tonya and Elizabeth worked very hard to ensure a wonderful and perfect day. I appreciate them so much and our wedding day couldn't have been more beautiful.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow.. where do I even begin? Let me start by saying, we feel so honored to have had our wedding here at Charles Davis Mansion and we consider ourselves lucky to have met Bill (the owner) and his team (Kevin and Devon). From the very start of us considering Charles Davis Mansion as our wedding venue, Bill was incredibly attentive and responsive. Our messages were never ignored and he answered all our questions with clarity. Within a matter of hours from when we first reached out to him, we were able to swing by the mansion for a full tour. It is so evident how passionate Bill is about the mansion and its history. He made it clear that should we choose CDM as our wedding venue, they would do absolutely everything they could to make our day PERFECT. And they exceeded that by far. From setting up almost everything we would need for the rehearsal dinner and wedding, to providing a list of their preferred vendors, to adding small, thoughtful touches all around the house in preparation for our arrival. The amount of care and consideration they put forth was evident. Our guests went on and on about the shear beauty of the mansion and the back yard. Mrs. Magnolia and the hanging lights over the deck add such charm to the atmosphere. CDM provided all the linens, chairs, tables, the dance floor, the speaker system, the bar cart, some wedding decor, and tons of gorgeous china tucked away in the butler’s pantry. I can say that the mansion truly felt like home, and Bill and his team felt like family. You’d be blessed to have your wedding here.
