Thank you for your interest in historic and romantic, Magnolia Hill.  It would be our honor to host your wedding and or reception and you will see our venue is quite all inclusive.    A deposit of half of the venue rental fee, holds your date. The balance is due 10 days before the wedding. If you are out of town, we can email you a contract if this is what you want to book. Destination weddings are our specialty.  Magnolia Hill is a historic wedding and reception venue on the National Historic Register and on 31 acres for vintage Southern weddings complete with horse and carriage.We are here to help you every step of the way in planning for your big day, and include complete wedding direction. When you walk in my door on wedding day, all you have to be concerned about is lacing up your dress....we take care of everything else for you.  The romantic stone altar by the lake includes a White Dove Release ceremony. Unique to our countryside setting is our own horse and wedding carriage to "present" the bride as guests watch from across the lake.  If the groom so desires, he may arrive to the altar by canoe as guests watch!! Or we have a "new" 1948 Chevy red truck they may come to the altar in.The covered reception area overlooks the lake. All this and more is included with the venue. The venue includes Brides Dressing room featuring antique triple mirror. Grooms Dressing quarters feature antique pool table and big screen TV. The estate is complete with an outdoor full kitchen for our exclusive caterer, Catering Creations, which includes wait staff, cake cutting service, and bartender if needed. Ordained minister is included if needed or you may use your own. Shepherds hooks for decorating ceremony aisle are included or your choice of hurricane lanterns. The lakeside venue includes all seating for ceremony on hand-hewn cypress bench style seating. Our crystal chandelier hangs over the altar from a willow tree. Fresh flowers in your colors are included for the altar. Reception ivory skirted tables and gold Chavari chairs are included in the venue as well. Fresh flower centerpieces for the guest tables in your colors are included. Our new stone courtyard is lit with Italian string lights and offers additional tables and seating. For summer weddings we have an outdoor cooling misting system overhead. The seated guests watch as the bride comes from the back side of the lake to the altar with music of the London Symphony Orchestra from outdoor speakers. The ceremony ends with a white dove release. The doves may be released from a white heart shaped basket and they circle over the lake as guests oooh and aaaah. The couple walks back up the aisle as they both get in the horse and carriage to sign the marriage license on the front porch and begin the reception. Complete Wedding Direction and planning is included with the venue. The reception area is covered and full of twinkle lights overlooking the lake.It is filled with Pinterest-worthy props if desired...lanterns, watering cans, chalkboards, easels, wooden signs, cakestands, typewriter for guest book table...etc.all included with the venue. Tables and chairs are included with the venue for your guests. Linens are included as well.  Our Grand Swing is for a unique bridal portrait or engagement portrait of the couple,and is complimentary with booking.

End your evening in the perfect way, by leaving in our "Elegant Exit". You can see we have grouped together a lot in our package, for INCLUDED with the venue price, the couple leaves in our 1938 vintage Packard car included with our "Elegant Exit" amid fireworks fountains.
