We have created a package for you that includes the staff that many bride's and families overlook. Anything can be added to a package, but nothing can be taken away. There is some range of movement in the floral décor. i.e. If your package includes one more bouquet than you needed, that bouquet can be made into an arrangement to decorate another location on the property.

Each wedding and reception package includes at least a 3 ½ hour time block. That time block can be used between the hours of 10:00 am and 10:00 pm. You may purchase additional hours at a price per hour. The hours cannot extend your reception past 10:00 pm.

Southern House and Garden does not sell alcohol. If you would like alcohol at your event, it must be approved by SHG no later than 30 days prior to the event. If alcohol is found on the property not approved by SHG, then SHG reserves the right to hold the alcohol until the end of the event and the loss of your security deposit.
