My husband and I got married at the Springdale House and Gardens October 15, 2016. Looking for venues was probably the most stressful part of wedding planning, but everything was perfect once we found Springdale House. The beautiful historic ho...me, spacious pavilion and fully bloomed garden got us there, but Ms. Kathy, Ms. Jennifer and their awesome team are the reason we booked it on site the first time we toured. They genuinely want to make your wedding day perfect and most importantly, stress-free.
They do require you to use their catering and bar service. If you're worried about this - don't be. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was (splurge for the shrimp and grits if you can - they're the best I've had). Menu packages require you to purchase beverages like tea or lemonade, which is a little much in my opinion, but it equals out. You bring your own alcohol, which saved us a HUGE sum of money. You use their bartenders, who are speedy and very friendly! Tables, chairs and basic linens are included in the rental, and you can upgrade or add extras like centerpieces or lanterns for a reasonable price.
After visiting other venues that wanted to nickel and dime us, I kept waiting for the hidden costs at Springdale. They actually care about you and want you to save money, so you're not going to be charged outrageous fees for nonsense here. They'll work with your budget to make sure you get what you want without going broke. I can honestly say these are some of the nicest, most sincere people you will ever meet.
At least go tour this venue - you're not going to regret. Even the toughest critics (I have some very opinionated family) won't have anything negative to say about Springdale House and Gardens.
