We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! From the moment we toured the space, we knew it was something special. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful—well-maintained, elegant, and thoughtfully designed, making it the perfect backdrop for our big day.
The staff was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. They were organized, accommodating, and incredibly helpful every step of the way, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our wedding day.
Our guests are still talking about how stunning the venue was and how seamless the entire event felt. We are so grateful for the care, attention to detail, and exceptional service we received. If you’re looking for a venue that is both beautiful and stress-free, we highly recommend this one!
The Grand Magnolia House was absolutely stunning for my daughter’s wedding. Ian and his TEAM took care of every single detail and then some. Weddings can be very stressful for all involved, however with The Grand Magnolia House they made the complete process stress free. It’s a one stop shop to making that special day… a day they will never forget. Thank You Ian and everyone for making this a day to remember for ever.
You won’t regret booking your wedding or any event for that matter at the Grand Magnolia house! We had the pleasure of having our wedding there and it is truly a wonderful and magical place ran by the most wonderful people. We went with their all inclusive package and I am so so happy that we did. Everything with our wedding was handled well, and Ian is very communicative leading up to the big day. I got to enjoy just feeling like a bride and didn’t have to worry about anything I didn’t want to. It was a great experience through and through. Ian, Kevin and their team are the nicest people and I promise you will want them there on your special day! 📸Ross Goodman photography
Review
WOW! I cannot say enough to describe how wonderful our experience was at this venue! It felt like we were in a movie where the actress gets the wedding of her dreams! The Grand Magnolia House is Grand indeed, and so is its owner, Ian. Although the atmosphere during the wedding was magical, behind the scenes preparation was full of mishaps, unrelated to the venue! Nevertheless, Ian put on his Superman cape and came to the rescue for every catastrophe! As you will observe in the pictures, the flowers were beautiful! That is compliments to Ian. Although he was not the florist, with the exception of the flower arrangement on the arbor, which was stunning, he was responsible for the final presentation! The flower arrangements and bouquets were delivered and were horrifying. They were completely unpresentable! Ian recreated the bridal bouquet, changed the ribbon on the bridesmaid’s bouquets, and modified the 21 table centerpiece arrangements, adding more flowers and greenery. (I am attaching pictures of the original bridal bouquet for reference). He and his team took care of one thing after another resulting in a wedding worthy of fairytales!
The Grand Magnolia House is decorated with classic southern charm, creating an ambience of comfort and peacefulness. The wedding party had access to the entire house. Family and loved ones used the kitchen to prepare meals and snacks. The upstairs, bedrooms, bathrooms and large common space was allocated to the bridal party. Downstairs bedrooms, bathrooms and a magnificent screened porch were allocated to the groomsmen. The layout for the wedding was perfect. It was very spacious and provided a natural flow that minimized chaos and nurtured peace. An upper level deck with two small gazebos was perfect for a small bar, a four man band and the cake cutting ceremony. Thank you Ian and staff at the Grand Magnolia House for magnificent experience!

Thank you, kathryn. We appreciate your kind review of The Grand Magnolia House and hope you will visit again soon. As a valued customer/guest, we look forward to taking care of your needs in the future. Until we see you, take care!
When you get engaged and the wedding planning starts, it becomes overwhelming very quickly. Touring venues was the very first thing my now husband and I did when starting our journey. The Grand Magnolia house spoke to us from the very beginning. It was just the icing on the cake that it so happened to come with the most amazing owner and staff. Our all inclusive experience was out of this world amazing. Ian was the most professional and heartwarming person to work with. He truly made you feel like you were family, everyone did. We were able to show up and not have to worry about anything but enjoying our special day. There aren’t enough words in the world to express how happy and grateful we are to have chosen this venue. It’s truly so magical. Thank you so much to Ian and his team.

Ian and his team are top tier. Everything was handled professionally and the entire wedding process went without any interruptions; from the first tour of the venue through the 18 month engagement and up to the reception.
Rehearsal went smoothly and without any issues.
The grounds and the house are beautiful.
What a stunning venue.

Thanks Terri for the wonderful review of The Grand Magnolia House. We appreciate you taking time to leave your feedback and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
We got married on April 12th, and from the moment we first visited The Grand Magnolia House, we knew it was the place where we wanted to say "I do." There’s just something magical about it—the charm, the history, the breathtaking landscaping, and most of all, the incredible team behind it all. We chose the all-inclusive package, and it was hands-down the best decision we could’ve made. As a bride, there’s a never-ending to-do list and a million things running through your mind—but thanks to Ian, Kevin, and their amazing team, I didn’t feel even an ounce of stress. They made the planning process and wedding day an absolute breeze. They listened to our vision and brought it to life in the most beautiful way. On the big day, we were able to relax, enjoy getting ready, and soak up every moment without a single worry. Everything was taken care of with such grace and attention to detail—it honestly felt like something out of a movie. We’re endlessly grateful to everyone at The Grand Magnolia House for making our wedding day unforgettable. If you're considering this venue for your wedding or any special event—PLEASE do it! It’s a beautiful place, filled with warmth, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day perfect. We will cherish our experience there for the rest of our lives.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Your kind words mean a lot to us and serve as a great reminder of why we love what we do.
Our family recently held our reunion at the Grand Magnolia House, and we could not have asked for a more perfect setting. From the moment we arrived, we were taken aback by the charm, elegance, and warmth of this incredible property.
The accommodations were absolutely wonderful—spacious, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Every room offered comfort and character, making it easy for our family to relax, reconnect, and enjoy quality time together.
What truly set this experience apart was Ian’s hospitality. He was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and made sure every detail was just right. From check-in to check-out, Ian went above and beyond to ensure we felt right at home.
The Grand Magnolia House has become more than just a venue for us—it’s now part of our family’s story. We’re already looking forward to making it our annual reunion destination. Highly, highly recommended!

Seeing families come together and create lasting memories is exactly what we strive to make possible. We hope your time here was filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful moments.
Although we live in Florida, my daughter had a dream to get married on her grandparent's farm in Fort Valley, Georgia. We chose The Grand Magnolia House for our event due to the all-inclusiveness they offered, including everything from flowers to cake, catering and the DJ. Also including lodging and even the rehearsal dinner location, and all the coordination that comes from a top notched wedding coordinator. The plan was to have the ceremony on the farm and reception on the grounds of The Grand Magnolia. A few days before the wedding we added a tent due to the possibility of rain after the ceremony. A few hours before the wedding it started pouring rain and the lightening was crazy. We chose to delay the wedding 30 min, but the rain did not stop. We changed the plans again and again until we reached the end of our options and did not know what to do. Ian stepped into the bridal suite with all the emotions of a member of the family and tears in his eyes and announced that we would have the wedding in the front parlors, surrounded by family and friends. They began removing furniture to make room for the wedding party and guests.
It was like we took a step back in time. In that beautiful historic home was just a bride and groom surrounded by those that they loved, watching them start this journey of life together.
There were multiple other last-minute changes that came as a result of the weather and venue change. The Grand Magnolia staff never panicked and were all truly kind, accommodating and flexible throughout the entire process.
I can never thank Ian, Kevin and Trycie enough for all the work that went into this event. Every bride needs wedding coordinators that care so much that they feel the pain too when a southern storm changes the bride's dream.
I would HIGHLY recommend The Grand Magnolia House for your weddings or special events.

Thanks a bunch for your kind words, Nicole. It's reviews like this that make us at The Grand Magnolia House excited to come into work every day.
There are not enough words to describe the thoughts, feelings, and opinions we have for this venue and for the team here at The Grand Magnolia House. Our wedding was May 3, 2025 and was in every way perfect. The venue is absolutely stunning with little effort thanks to the amazing upkeep of the greenery and flowers from the team. Inside the house is just gorgeous. With 3 full size bedrooms for getting ready, one upstairs and 2 downstairs, you are guaranteed to have plenty of room. Ian and his staff were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with me and our entire wedding party and everyone involved in our day. They made us feel welcome and at home. I know everyone has their own taste in wedding venues, but I highly suggested checking this one out anyways. You will not be disappointed.
