Beautiful venue and location. My daughter’s wedding was absolutely perfect. Crystal, Dennis, and team outdid themselves. From excellent communication, set up and ex*****on we could not have wished for more. The down home feel with beautiful decor, custom pieces, and even down to the smallest details were so meaningful. Would give them 10+ stars for service, details and making our wedding feel like part of the family.

Wedding at Magnolia Cottage
My husband and I got married at Magnolia Cottage on September 14th and could not have picked a better location and backdrop for the best day of our lives. From the beautiful antique furniture and decor to being surrounded by trees of green, beautiful lighting, and the white pavilion it was the most beautiful day. We are so grateful to Crystal and Dennis for working hard to get the venue ready for our magical day. It was nothing short of perfect.
