Alvastage Acres

We recently celebrated our youngest daughter’s wedding over a weekend at AlvaStage Acres. A modest drive from the Memphis area, made a wonderful destination/local venue. Family and friends were delighted with the amenities which include an exquisite 1800s Chapel, huge rustic barn-like reception hall, and beautiful 4 bedroom home that provided comfortable and stylish accommodations for the wedding party the night before and a safe haven for the newly weds after the wedding. The venue was pristine and amenities included free Wi-Fi, game room, and free access to numerous items for wedding decor. Buddy and Dianna are also gifted photographers/videographers whose sevices can be included in the wedding package for an easy all on one day. Their package for us also included engagement photos as well as the complete photo wedding package from preparation until completion of all wedding festivities. These included professional set shots as well as hundreds of candid shots. They were helpful in all areas of preparation and had such a kindness about them that they seemed like a part of the family. I highly recommend Buddy and Dianna Burt and their outstanding venue for a romantic, rustic yet sofisticated wedding venue with outstanding and intricate photography. Cindy Reaves

We recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding reception at Alva Stage Acres, and it was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! The bridal party stayed in the house on the property the night before the wedding, and it was perfect for a relaxing and fun night together. The house is very spacious, with a full kitchen, two full bathrooms, and the most comfortable beds ever! It made the getting-ready process smooth and stress-free for everyone. The Barn was the main reception space, and it was charming, welcoming, and well-equipped. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor space for all of our guests. Dianna and Buddy, the owners, were fantastic to work with. They truly thought of everything and went above and beyond to make sure the weekend ran smoothly. From a clear instructional video about the locks, air conditioning, fans, and sound system, to their quick and helpful responses to all our questions — they were professional, kind, and attentive the entire time. Not only did they help with logistics, but they also filmed and took pictures, capturing the day beautifully. They were able to bring my daughter’s vision to life and made her feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The chapel on the property served as a stunning backdrop for photos — it added a timeless, romantic touch to the entire day. What impressed us the most was how quickly and calmly they handled any hiccups that came up. Even while taking pictures and filming, they were incredibly proactive in finding solutions and keeping everything on track. If you're looking for a beautiful, well-run venue with amazing owners who truly care about making your event special, I highly recommend Alva Stage Acres. It was the perfect setting for a perfect day.

This venue is fantastic! It is such a pretty, quiet and intimate setting. The house is stunning as well as cozy and the historic chapel was the perfect place for the ceremony. Buddy and Diana are the absolute best venue hosts anyone could ask for. They treated our special day like it was their own! If I could give them ten stars, I WOULD!
