About this vendor
Situated in Eclectic, AL, Marsgate is an elegant mansion wedding venue. Near Montgomery, Auburn, and Birmingham, it is run by the Marr family, who is dedicated to making a couple’s wedding vision a memorable reality. Their goal is to ensure a seamless and positive experience throughout the planning process and the event itself.
The Marr family bought Marsgate in 2010 and since then it has been the site of many unforgettable get-togethers with loved ones. The Marrs' dream was to create an event venue that offered soon-to-be newlyweds a luxurious and convenient venue complemented by amiable hospitality. Inside the mansion, couples and their guests will encounter classic architectural details accented by numerous amenities and stylish furniture. With 12 fireplaces, 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, lofty ceilings, and more, the mansion's sense of grandeur can be felt from the moment of arrival. It provides a timeless setting for “I dos” and the festivities that follow.
Marsgate is located on a property spanning more than 70 acres with 20,000 square feet of space for weddings. There are both indoor and outdoor areas available for events and the venue can accommodate over 200 guests. The multiple dressing rooms on site and the large kitchen make it easy for the wedding party and caterer to prepare for the event. Each package varies in the duration couples have access to the property and how much of the mansion they may utilize for their celebrations. The most inclusive bundle includes the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and teardown the following day. In this option, couples can also use the terrace, main, and second levels for their function, and tables and chairs are provided.

eduled to begin, plan on sitting on the side of the road until they let you in after the ceremony is over. Or you can choose to go home, as did most of the guests that were left sitting in their cars in the rain after making much preparation to attend the wedding.
