What You Should Know
Rental fees include full access to the Rand-Bryan House, its grounds and the venue parking lot, and they also include access to a sound system and the kitchen. Tables are included in the rental costs and set up ahead of time, but chairs and tablecloths must be brought by the couple or rented. The caterer primarily provides dishes. Tenting is available for a separate cost, but Rand-Bryan House provides contact information for its tent vendor.
Rand-Bryan House lets couples pay for a desired number of hours, but they may break the time up however they wish. For example, a couple who pays for eight hours of use may use some of that time on a different day for engagement photos or the morning of the event for special decorating and then return later for the ceremony and reception. Pricing for rental depends of the time frame, day of the week and number of hours desired. April through November pricing is more expensive than December through March pricing, and Friday or Sunday pricing is less expensive than Saturday pricing.
A deposit is due at booking: $500 or 25 percent of the facility fee, whichever is greater. A $500 refundable security deposit is due two months before event, and the balance is due two months before the event.
Couples have three package options. The Silver Package covers eight hours of venue use, the Gold Package provides 12 hours of venue use and the Platinum Package pays for 15 hours at the venue. Hourly pricing is also available, excluding Saturdays from April through November.

Reviewed on 6/04/2013 Dee HThey were super flexible, and got everything right down to the detail! The grounds were so beautiful and well-kept that it was the perfect place for our garden wedding!
We had our wedding at the Rand-Bryan house this year. The main thing that sold us on the house other than its beauty was Martha. Martha worked with us and gave great advice. She allowed us to see the house a couple of times to see how we wanted things set up. She even came to... Read More the rehearsal to see if we needed anything. She also gave a helping hand with out hesitation. If I could do it all over again, I would do the Rand-Bryan house again! The house is beautiful, simple, with southern charm!
Martha did a wonderful job coordinating, and making sure our day was special. We were pleased with our experience, and would highly recommed the Rand-Bryan House!
The Rand-Bryan House and property are absolutely beautiful! We had our ceremony outside under a tent (rain was threatening), cocktail hour in the garden and on the porch, and reception inside.

Great Place
Reviewed on 10/20/2015 MIMMS VWe had our wedding and reception here and it is the PERFECT location for an indoor/outdoor celebration. The atmosphere and the grounds are simply breathtaking and there is plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the festivities. I would not change a thing for our wedding.
We recently had our wedding at the Rand-Bryan House and would definitely recommend it! Martha, the owner, was great to work with and always accommodating if we needed to come by or do a site visit with a vendor. They keep the house and the grounds very clean and beautifully... Read More manicured, but it's not fussy or formal feeling, which is exactly what we wanted. There's also lots of flexibility for different spaces to use (both indoor and outdoor) for the ceremony, cocktails, reception, and photos. We also liked that we could use any vendors we wanted for catering, etc. They are comparably priced to other similar venues especially for the amount of time and space you get. Overall we had a great experience!
Beautiful spot for a wedding!
