🌿THEN vs NOW🌿

In 2000, a family home was built on generational land. These two photos were taken from almost exactly the same place and show before the house was built and how it looks now.

In the last 23 years, this home has grown and adapted to house so much love and joy. Yes, our guesthouse was a family home where Danielle and Seth grew up. In 2019 it was renovated to accommodate wedding parties and everything they need to be Grand.

Small Grand Things is rooted deeply into our family more than just as a family small business, but also the stories it adds to a place full of family and fun. We can't wait for your family to become a part of our story when you book your Grand events with us.

🌿OUR STORY🌿

A question we are often asked is ‘Where did the idea for owning a wedding venue come from?’ and we jokingly always answer ‘a mental breakdown’. But the funny truth of it is just that exactly.

A childhood retirement dream turned reality because of the pressures of working for a corporation in a big city. A business sketch on a paper napkin while eating eggplant parm, a breakdown in the middle of the sidewalk, and boom; Small Grand Things.

But if you want to read the full story, visit the link in our bio!

We're officially back from surgery and the holidays. After the first snow of the season, we can't wait for all the things coming! Laying in the recovery bed for three weeks left one's mind to wonder and plan some new ideas.

🌿RECOVERY🌿

One of us had surgery this morning. Which means the other has to help take care of her.

Yes, it's true parents, you never stop taking care of your littles. Please bare with us these few weeks during recovery. There may be a delay in communications due to Danielle having surgery and being in a full arm cast for the next three weeks. We will be checking messages as often as pain-induced naps and spare time allows.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Grand Things Happen Here

We are the Neaves family. While the name may be new, our ties, connection, and history in West Point and Lee County run deep.

Ann Newton-Neaves grew up in West Point on the family farm and graduated from Fort Madison High School before becoming a teacher. She taught in the community as a kindergarten teaching at Marquette and through Community Action.

Danielle and Seth grew up in the family home turned business until they moved to Texas in 2006 graduating and building their careers in Texas and Washington D.C. In 2018, Danielle moved back home to bring the family dream to life.

Nestled on over 50 acres of oak forest and natural landscape, Small Grand Things applies the elegance, simplicity, and timeless beauty of nature indoors. A venue to be used in a variety of ways with endless design and decor options.
