Several options are available for weddings, receptions, special dinners, and other events at Magnolia Gardens
The Sunroom, an elegant setting for one’s special occasion, is surrounded on three sides by glass walls and doors. Sixty guests can be accommodated at tables and chairs or ninety guests seated cathedral-style. The floor and steps are antique brick and a well, built over the original cistern, serves as a focal point. Outside the Sunroom walls are a deck (20’ x 20’) and a patio (20’ x 40’) which are available for usage with rental. All three areas are complemented by an intimate garden of azaleas, perennials, and annual color with a lion fountain as its central focus.
The Gardens and the Great Lawn feature a picturesque wisteria arbor circled by majestic ancient trees. A unique element in the Gardens is the Magnolia Grotto where events are complemented with dappled shade made by a variety of stately trees including magnolias, blue haw, ginkgo, and dogwood.
The Gazebo and Meadow on Spring Creek can be reached from the Inn by flowing steps or from the west entry of Magnolia Gardens. The Gazebo is a twelve hundred square foot structure accented with twinkle and icicle lights, it is popularly used as a dance floor or a showplace for wedding cakes, a display for hors d’oeuvres, or a stage for elegant dinners. The Meadow on Spring Creek is accented by a pond with a classic white arched bridge with water fountains on each side of the bridge.
