  • Flexible event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets

  • On-site parking not available
Spaces seem to be getting smaller and more clinical. Everything covered in hospital white and agreeable grey. We recently booked our event at the Magnolia Inn right after their exterior face-lift. Our event had the energy of a Great Gatsby gala with the class and charm of Southern Hospitality. The staff was attentive and available for any last minute changes or adjustments and catered to all of our needs. If you end up staying the night as well (like we did) the breakfast spread will have you asking for seconds and a late check out while you sit on the front porch swing while the Sunday sun starts to warm up the quaint little town around you. Our photo session was so much better in a place that you could easily imagine what a regal life would be like in a large Victorian home. My family came along with me and I now have a timeless photo of my two children walking down the grand staircase holding hands that will be the placeholder in my mind for the sweet innocent time of their lives that they are in right now. Repeat sessions already booked, can't recommend this gem enough. Free private parking, fast wifi, walking distance to food, drinks, and fun. A must have for weddings or an elevated event/date night.
