The Courtyard
When you walk through those gates and into the courtyard it feels like a world far removed from downtown Macon. Since the buildings original conception in the early 2000’s the space has seen a number of changes. What started as an overgrown vacant lot was quickly transformed into private areas with tall hedges and herb gardens, perfect for al fresco dinning. Later improvements gave way to smaller shrubs and an more open concept, which is what clients and guest have enjoyed for the last decade.
In that time the trees have grown into beautiful shaded canopies, the space now has the feel of something that has aged well with time and we find ourselves in 2018 looking toward the future and the changing world of events, weddings and the space. .
Since its inception, the courtyard has been the backdrop of countless cocktail hours, introductions, outdoor bars, games and over the last few years more and more wedding ceremonies. With wedding ceremonies in mind, we began looking at ways to increase the seating capacity for the space. In doing anything, we like to reach out to the very best and Wymberly Tredwell who originally designed the amazing space was the first call we made and her new plan and concept was exceptional Over the next few months the space will continue to transform in small ways that will nearly double our seating capacity for a ceremony and as we move into the 2019 season the space will be able to accomodate 150-175 seated guests for a ceremony.
Don’t fret the trees are staying, all of the things that you love including the wonderful aroma of tea olives, the landscape lighting, the fountain and garden walls, will still be present just in a new imagined way. The progress will be slow and well planned so that our guest won’t even realize anything has changed. The exciting news is that these changes will lead us into yet another period in this remarkable building’s history.
