Rocky River Plantation is the most beautiful place for a wedding. I rented out the venue for 2 days for my daughter's wedding on October 12, 2019, this past weekend. It was a beautiful weekend. On Friday, I held her bridal shower at the venue. We used the inside for the shower which was themed "Old Southern Tea Party". It was quite lovely and the house just fit the part. On Saturday, we had the ceremony at the house and we had the reception out back at the Bootlegger Barn. The grounds were perfectly manicured, the barn was clean and rustic. It was laid out perfect for a reception with the stage for a DJ, the back for the caterers, and a bar. I highly recommend using Rocky River Plantation and Bootlegger Barn for venues. They are perfect!
