Hello and Happy Friday! If you have been following along my series on my favorite local wedding venues- thank you! I hope they have been helpful and that it’s making your wedding venue search easier for you. Today’s local wedding venue highlight is a beautiful one. Located just outside of Perry, The Grand Magnolia House is definitely the most charming wedding venue in Middle Georgia. Read along to find out why I love it so much!
The Grand Magnolia House
As I stated above, I believe The Grand Magnolia House is the most charming wedding venue in the area. Everything about it shouts history and southern elegance. The main building is a fully restored colonial house that is over 153 years old and sits on 3 acres of land filled with 100 year old pecan and magnolia trees (hence the name). Talk about history and legacy! I immediately think of The Great Gatsby every time I’m there, and we put together a Great Gatsby themed styled shoot a couple years ago. The house is adorned with a huge wrap around porch, and the back deck is the perfect setup for dancing at your reception. In the back, you’ll find a tall fountain, rows of bamboo (perfect photo op), and a beautiful arbor for ceremonies.
The Staff
Tamara Joiner is the owner and operator of this beautiful wedding venue, and I love every time I get to work with her! She goes above and beyond making sure that every bride’s wedding dreams come to life. As a wedding photographer, it’s so easy to work with her! She is so great and I know you’ll love her too.
Lodging & Accessibility
Along with everything else I have mentioned, The Grand Magnolia House also provides rooms for overnight stay! You and your bridal party can have the ease of staying overnight after the wedding rehearsal, which makes it seamless getting ready for your wedding the next day! The venue is located just a few miles from the Perry exit, making it a great option if you’re looking for a wedding venue near Macon. So, if you’re a southern belle at heart and are looking for an elegant wedding venue, look no further! I hope you schedule a tour soon and can’t wait to see your beautiful day come to life!
