Beautiful venue with beautiful people. They really know how to make you feel at home here and are very timely with their responses and always ready to help where they are needed. They made sure everything ran nice and smooth. Bonus, the venue provides decor if you need it :)
I can’t say enough about how wonderful my wedding was at Rasberry Greene! Mrs. Lauren and Mr. Donnie take care of everyone like they are family! I grew up fishing out there before it was a venue so there was no question about having my wedding there!! They accommodate to your every need and make sure everything will go smooth for your big day! From setting up the ceremony area to reception to even parking your guests, they handle everything you could imagine!!
These are the BEST people to work with! They kept in touch with us up until the day of our wedding, and helped us that whole entire day with whatever we needed! It was such a joy to work with these sweet people. They truly had an impact on our perfect day. I can not recommend Rasberry Greene enough!
The venue at The Gin at Rasberry Greene is amazing and the staff if even better. They were very attentive to our needs and assisted with every thing. We had family from out of town and they made the venue available for our viewing several times in the months leading up to the wedding. We had the venue for the entire weekend which made preparations easy. I highly recommend this venue for your event or wedding.

The Gin at Rasberry Greene was amazing!! The owners were so helpful and did everything they could to make it the most amazing day!
If you want a BEAUTIFUL venue with the most personalized help….this is the place to go! Everything went perfectly with my sons wedding and every need we had was met! Cannot say enough good things about this place!!
Rasberry Greene is a breathtakingly beautiful venue, and was the perfect setting for our son and daughter in law to begin their forever together. The Zumwalt’s are so wonderful to help see to every need. At Rasberry Greene, we were truly treated like family! The level of attention and customer service provided was above and beyond our expectations.
We loved having our wedding at Rasberry Greene! Mrs. Lauren and Mr. Donnie were so helpful and easy to work with! Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!
All I can say is that it is simply amazing! The Venue , including the grounds, is absolutely perfect ; as are the owners! So helpful and polite! Just a perfect place for a perfect wedding! We were extremely excited with the entire setting!! PERFECT!
We were so excited to have our wedding at The Gin. I would recommend everyone to consider them as their venue! They are the best and the venue is so beautiful. They helped make our day so special and magical. Thank you Rasberry Greene for the best day of our lives!
My (now) wife and I set out to pick a venue probably the same way everyone does. We had a budget and a vague idea of the style we were looking for and the number of guests we would have. A few searches later we had our list and set off on our grand adventure.
It became apparent very early on in our search that we had left off one major factor we needed to consider in our selection: the venue owners themselves. Two or three visits in and it became clear that was something we were going to have to take into account. It was very apparent that weddings were, to most owners, a business. The sad truth of it is, to most owners, your wedding, your wonderful, magical, once-in-a-lifetime day, is just another weekend. Lauren and Donnie have somehow managed, throughout all their experience, to never lose sight of what your wedding means to you. It's never just another weekend for them. We certainly were not the only bride and groom they were working with throughout our wedding process, but we sure did feel that way.
Rasberry Greene sat pretty close to the top of our list from the moment we found it on our initial searches. It was clear with just a cursory look through photos online that the venue was beautiful and perfectly in line with the natural style we were looking for. Meeting Lauren and Donnie (and finally seeing the beauty of Rasberry Greene in person) cemented our decision immediately. We had our date, and we had our venue. We were all set to get married at Rasberry Greene on Saturday, April 4, 2020.
And then everything went wrong with the world. The state of Mississippi shut down on April 1, 2020. My wife and I cancelled our wedding two weeks out. We were heartbroken. All the work we had put into our day seemed wasted. Lauren and Donnie were in touch with us weeks before the shut down, helping us find a new date, helping us coordinate the rescheduling of all our other vendors, and very much carrying us through as though we were their own children. They were so supportive of us throughout the following months and absolutely essential to us keeping our sanity and getting everything rescheduled and squared away. They helped us retool our seating to space our (much reduced) guest list across the huge, open lawns, cleaned like mad before, during, and after any event at the venue, and worked with us to make our wedding as magical and safe as possible.
On August 15, my wife and I finally got married at Rasberry Greene. I don't know how we would have managed it without Lauren and Donnie.
Rasberry Greene is beautiful. It can be a wonderful home for your intimate wedding of 20 or play host to hundreds. It can be decorated to the nines in almost any style you can dream of, or leave it stripped down to its natural beauty. No matter what you do though, you'll deal with some of the best people we've ever met.
THE BEST venue! They are so generous and helpful!
Susan G.
The staff are super helpful and courteous! They went above and beyond to make my son’s wedding a splendid day.
They are very well organized and have so many options for set up. Lauren and her husband were so helpful with ideas and making their vision come to life! You can’t go wrong with Rasberry Green!
The most beautiful venue! The best people to work with! The best hospitality! beautiful bride and groom suite! Would recommend a million times!!!
Mr. and Mrs. Zumwalt were absolutely amazing to me and my now Husband! Their venue is gorgeous, their personalities are the best, and they made sure we were taken care of for our wedding venue needs! I would recommend them to anyone!
I highly recommend Raspberry Greene, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better venue and couple to help me make every dream for our wedding come true! They were truly God sent!
I had my wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Rasberry Greene was the perfect place to have it. The people are amazing there and made every moment a dream come true!
This venue was awesome to work with. The owners Donnie and Lauren made the bride and groom day so special. I would recommend them for your special occasion.
This place doesn’t need much because it’s charming on its own. The owners Lauren and Donnie are the sweetest people. They answered every question I had and answer back quickly at that. My ceremony and reception were so beautiful and I have to say I couldn’t have gotten a better place for our wedding. I would recommend this place a million times.
This was the prettiest venue we came across during our looking process. The owners are the absolute sweetest couple and will truly do anything to make your day nothing but perfect!
Me. Donnie and Mrs. Laura are the sweetest people ever. Their personality, hospitality and the warm environment had me at an instant yes once I met them and toured the venue. I absolutely loved having my wedding at Rasberry Greene!!!
I cannot say enough positive things about the Gin at Rasberry Greene. The setting is beautiful, warm and inviting. The grounds are just beautiful and if you have ever met Lauren, the owner, you will fill right at home. They have left no stone unturned, in the details, for your perfect day! They had me at the beautiful sunsets that wrap around The Gin!
It’s a truly breathtaking venue anywhere you look on the grounds and at any season of the year - Lauren and Donnie are an amazing couple to work with ; very personable and extremely knowledgeable from valet parking of the elderly to the time of the sunset to capture the best photographs! They made us feel like family! Our daughter’s wedding was totally perfect and absolutely beautiful!
The folks at the Gin (Lauren and Donnie) were incredible. It rained "biblical proportions" the day of our son's wedding, which was to be an outdoor ceremony. The "call" to move inside was made just a few hours before game-time. When the time came for the ceremony, you would have thought it was planned that way all along - - beautifully set up and turned back into reception space in no time. In the months leading up to the wedding, we had countless questions, not only about the venue, but about caterers, flowers, transportation, etc., etc. Lauren returned all calls / emails within an hour, often within minutes! They were such a pleasure to work with, and always offering ideas or suggestions where we needed them. (Our daughter is getting married next summer, and even though it will be 5 states away, Lauren still answers questions about receptions in general!) We still get compliments from our friends about the venue, even though it was a torrential downpour! Loved this place, and the people.
My husband and I had the most wonderful experience working with the Rasberry Greene crew! They have such a beautiful venue, and they truly care about their clients! Their staff helped every step of the way, from parking to set-up, and the owners are amazing people! We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Rasberry Greene!
We just fell in love with the beauty of The Gin and the owners Mr Donnie and Ms Lauren. They go out of their way to help you plan the perfect wedding. Ms Lauren answered all of my daughters questions and gave her some great ideas . Her day was perfect with the beautiful view of the lake and as night fell the lights gave a romantic glow over the dance floor. Great outdoor wedding.
Lauren & Donnie are the most accommodating venue owners ever. I’ve worked weddings at a few other local venues and by far much prefer Rasberry Greene. The property is gorgeous for any style, whether you want rustic barn or boho eclectic.
I fell in love with this venue online and then when we went to see it in person I just loved it even more! The owners make you feel like family and are VERY accommodating and respond fast with answers. I love the outside fire pit and lights in the trees and dance floor. It's just a beautiful place for any occasion.
Last weekend, I traveled to Mississippi for the first time to attend a wedding at The Gin at Raspberry Greene. It was my first real impression of the south and it will be a lasting one. The historic venue is located on a beautiful lake in Soso, MS. The decor matched perfectly with the country aesthetic and the strings of lights draped around the exterior perfectly illuminated the special night. I was lucky to be a part of this event and would recommend this venue to any newly engaged couple. The best part was the unbelievable service from the owners. They were attentive and helpful and willing to do whatever it took to make the weekend special.
I couldn’t recommend this venue enough! Everyone was beyond nice and accommodating. The space is stunning as well as affordable. The best venue ever hands down!
Rasberry Greene was an amazing venue! It was simplistic and absolutely beautiful at the same time! Mrs. Lauren and Mr. Donnie were so sweet and accommodating as well. They were never bothered by my dozens of questions and were so very helpful!
We were super impressed by the large variety of items to pick from to use for decorations. The outside was gorgeous during the day, but absolutely beautiful at night with all of the lights!
I would definitely recommend this venue to anybody and everybody who asks! I honestly hate that my wedding is over with, just because my experience there was so great!
Rasberry Greene is the most beautiful wedding venue. I went to se 24 venues and this one stole my heart from the beginning. Along with the beautiful scenery, the Zumwalt’s(the owners) are the most precious people. They work so hard to make sure everything is perfect and it was. I would have the wedding here a million times over.
We got married here in December of 2015. The Gin at Rasberry Greene is so beautiful, and the owners are amazing. They went above and beyond for us and made sure our day was perfect. They made us feel like family.
Our daughter just got married at this beautiful venue October 20th. The day was amazing! I’m so glad I found this place because Rasberry Greene is so much more than another wedding venue. The owners, Mr. Donnie and Ms. Lauren, make you feel like part of their family. They are so accommodating, and they really care about making your day extra special. At the venue there are two beautiful places to have the ceremony outdoors, gorgeous reception room, kitchen, a large bridal suite, a groom’s suite, a fire pit, a deck, a decor room, and so much more! When my daughter and I walked into the bridal suite, we were both in awe of how spacious and gorgeous it was. I can’t say enough about how amazing this place is. It really is a hidden gem!
The venue just oozes southern charm, and Lauren and everyone at The Gin are willing to go above and beyond to insure that your day will be a special one! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
From the moment I drove onto the property of The Gin at Rasberry Greene I was nothing but in awe of the beauty. The thing that made me want to really have our daughter’s wedding there was not the beauty but the people. Donnie and Lauren were the most accommodating people we worked with during the planning of the wedding. They made our day go so smooth and relaxed. There was nothing we wanted that they were not willing to provide or at least give us some direction to look.
I can’t say enough good things about Rasberry Greene! Lauren and Donnie are such amazing people, and they went above and beyond to bring all our wedding dreams to life. The land is gorgeous, the gin is unlike any venue I’ve ever seen, and I couldn’t have imagined anything to have gone more perfectly. They do all the heavy lifting, they made it as easy on us as possible, and they make it feel so homey! They have so many decorations, gorgeous antique furniture pieces, and everything you need to create a picture perfect celebration!
Beautiful place!!! The owners are so nice and are willing to help in any way to make you’re special day everything you dreamed of! From the first day, they shared their wealth of knowledge on what worked best but also listened intently to the bride as to what she really wanted. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day, location, and overall experience!!!
Not only is the venue absolutely breathtaking, the owners go over and above to make sure you have everything you need! From decorations to set-up, they are very accommodating. They were there throughout the entire process to help or give advise on what they have seen work or not work but are more than willing to try something new.
Rasberry Greene is not only a beautiful space to have a wedding/event but Lauren and Donnie are super friendly and so sweet! They helped my family and I set up for my big day and gave lots of insight of what would look great for decor. They were there throughout the whole day of our wedding and helped as much as they could! I appreciate them so much and 100% recommend Rasberry Greene as a wedding venue! :)
My daughter's wedding was at The Gin at Rasberry Greene in September. We could not have asked for a more beautiful location! The pond, pine trees, and quiet solitude of the venue will remind you of a quaint chapel. And Lauren and Donnie treat you like a member of their family!
I loved the Rasberry Greene! It's natural beauty is breathtaking and the owners are so sweet and will do anything to help you make your day special!
The staff at Rasberry Greene treated us like we were family from our first visit until we pulled out after the wedding. They were very helpful and concerned about my daughter's special day. They went above and beyond to make her day PERFECT!
Everyone at Rasberry Greene is amazing! Lauren and Donnie made sure everything was perfect for our big day! They worked tirelessly for us for days, even in the rain. They are wonderful people and make everyone feel like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding.
I've lived in several parts of the country, and must say Rasberry Greene is hands down one of the most beautiful settings I have experienced! Lauren and Donnie go above and beyond to make every part of the process enjoyable. I do not have enough words to express my gratitude for them helping make that wedding day just perfect!
Donnie and Lauren are the sweetest couple ever! They are so helpful, knowledgeable, and very experienced at what they do. Anytime we needed to come to the venue, they either met us there or arranged for someone to meet us, if they were unable to make it that day. They have rooms and rooms of decorations they allowed us to use which helped us drastically! Donnie and Lauren also are great at recommending vendors if in doubt of who to use for any part of the wedding. It literally felt like they were part of the family throughout the entire process!
Rasberry Greene is the most perfect venue I could've asked for to have my wedding. You dream about your wedding from the time you're taking your first steps, and this exceeded my every expectation. Lauren and Donnie Zumwalt met with us, and we knew this was the place we wanted to start our forever. My husband and I are so proud to be apart of the Rasberry Greene family. If you're looking for a warm, friendly, and inviting place filled with people who care so deeply about making your dreams come true, Rasberry Greene is where you need to start.

I really cannot say enough about this venue or the owners (Lauren & Donnie). Our entire experience - from the day we booked to our wedding day - was seamless. Lauren & Donnie were helpful in all areas. They were willing to work with our vision for the wedding day, be flexible with our needs, not to mention how great their communication was with us during the whole process (so important!!)
I am a wedding photographer, so naturally I looked for a venue that had great light and lots of locations on sight to work with for photos..RG has both. Beautiful trees YEAR-ROUND (we got married in December), and stunning light all throughout.
Overall, we were beyond pleased and recommend this place for anyone's special event.
I have been thinking about what I would like to say about this magical place over the last few days. I’ll start by saying that I’ve been apart and have hosted an event at the gin and both times have been simply amazing! Lauren and Donnie go above and beyond to help make your dreams come true! The Gin is a true form of hospitality I say that because I have seen Lauren and her amazing staff making sure you have everything you need and things you didn’t even think about or have simply forgotten. I love seeing Donnie smiling on his tractor making sure the grass and the grounds are looking their best before every event and making sure the tables are set up perfectly! The venue itself is completely breathtaking from the most simple to the most extravagant of events. If you are planning a wedding or any event I encourage you to check them about because if I could sum everything about the Gin into one phrase it would be FAMILY because that’s what Lauren and Donnie make you feel like from the moment you drive down that little dirt road.
I love this venue. It was beautiful and simply perfect for our wedding. We had it out by the waterside. The inside of the barn is perfect for receptions. It's spacious and comfortable. The bridal suite and groomsmen quarters are perfect for getting ready. Overall if I could do it all over again, I'd still pick the Greene for our wedding and any other celebration.
Choosing Rasberry Greene was the best decision I made out of all the decisions of wedding planning! Mrs. Lauren and Mr. Donnie not only were helpful in every way, but they are extremely generous and gracious. The venue was perfect and my husband and I were overjoyed to have spent our special day there!
My wedding was absolutely perfect, and I can't imagine having it anywhere else. I'm a very indecisive person and it takes me a long time to know what I want. Rasberry Greene was the first place that we toured and I knew right away this was it. It was so incredibly beautiful, rustic, but still classy, it was everything that I could have hoped for in a wedding. Mrs. Lauren and Mr. Donnie treated me and my wedding party like family, they worked closely with all of my vendors (which most of them came recommended from Mrs. Lauren and were perfect), and I always knew I could call Mrs. Lauren with any questions or concerns and she would know exactly what to say or do to help. I planned my wedding from 14 hours away, and I never worried because I knew Mrs. Lauren and Mr. Donnie wanted my day just as perfect as I did.
I can't say enough or express in words the level of pure joy it was to experience a wedding at Rasberry Greene!! I am the aunt of the groom, but I also did hair/makeup for the bride. The area designed for hair/makeup was so thoughtful in what a hairdresser or makeup artist needs!!
This is a surreal atmosphere.
If your looking for rustic, romantic , chic, or upscale or even down scale you'll find all of those qualities at Rasberry Greene.
Mrs. Lauren and Mr. Donnie along with their staff make you feel as if your home. Love the whole place.
The venue was absolutely beautiful and the owners were so kind and helpful. They were the biggest help from the very beginning all the way to the very end.
Rasberry Greene was all we hoped for and much more in a wedding venue. I can't imagine starting our story anywhere else than tucked away down that long gravel road beneath those pretty pines.
From the very first day we met Mr. Donnie and Mrs. Lauren to tour the space, we loved them! They go above and beyond to make you feel right at home. Of course, the venue itself is beautiful, but they were really the biggest selling factor for us. I knew they would do all that they could to help make our day a success!
Being unfamiliar with the wedding scene, Mrs. Lauren was quick to refer us to excellent vendors, answer all our questions and help ease any last minute jitters I was having. She and Mr. Donnie were especially accommodating to the needs of not just me, but my family as well.
Since our wedding day, we have had SO many people tell us what a hidden gem Rasberry Greene is. The Gin is just as elegant as it is rustic, and it offers a certain charm that is rarely found anywhere else. As for the grounds, they are simply breathtaking! It is the perfect place for an outdoor event. There is no finer setting for a southern wedding - I am sure of it!
Looking back, I am so thankful that we had the opportunity to start our forever at Rasberry Greene. It really is our favorite.
So thankful to have found this place and have our wedding there. It was beautiful and the perfect setting for us. Lauren and Donnie helped us so much and made us feel like family. Would recommend this place to anyone!
There are not enough words to describe the pure joy this place brings me. We had our wedding here on October 22nd, 2016 and it was the best day of my life. I could not have had the experience I did without the constant love from Lauren and Donnie. From the very beginning of our venue search, I was looking for a place where I felt like I was home. We visited 5 different places before we traveled from Jackson to Rasberry Greene. I was a little worried at first about going down there because I thought the travel would deter some of our guests, and I have anxiety and being far from home scared me.
The moment I drove down the driveway the first time and I saw the trees, my heart and soul knew this was the place. Even before I got out of the car I just knew, this was home. After touring the property and meeting Lauren and Donnie, it only confirmed my feeling.
Within the year of planning for the wedding, we went down there a couple of times just to check on things. Honestly I just wanted to be around Lauren and Donnie and be connected with nature. I missed them every time we left.
Our wedding day could not have been more perfect and I owe a huge part and thank you to Lauren and Donnie. They listened to me and we bounced ideas off each other until everything felt right for me. They are the most amazing people you will ever meet. They were more than willing to help with anything. Any questions I had, any crazy idea I had, they were there for us. It's amazing to find people in this world who just understand you so well, and when you do find those people, don't ever let them go. The whole Rasberry Greene family will forever be a part of mine and be a huge reason why I am so happy.
Lauren and Donnie, you guys are home to me. There will never be enough thanks I could give you, not enough love I could show you. We love you guys so much and are so happy to have met you. Thank you for everything, -Alyssa and Kyle Yoches
We could not have asked for a more helpful crew. We fell in love with them from the beginning!!
Mr. Donnie and Mrs. Lauren at Rasberry Greene are a pair of the sweetest people on earth. They are extremely helpful and run a beautiful, vintage venue. When Sam and I first visited them back in 2015, they were just getting started; we were blessed to see the Gin grow and change as our wedding grew near. With everything they do to improve, they consider different couples and styles for the Gin to accommodate. For anyone wanting either rustic, vintage, southern chic, classic, etc., the Gin is perfect. I'm so thankful to have had the Zumwalts and the Gin for my big day. Everything was like a dream! There are few people who are so welcoming and giving as the family at Rasberry Greene!
Lauren and Donnie are two of the kindest and most genuine people I've had the pleasure of meeting. Rasberry Greene is already stunning, but Lauren and Donnie just make it that much more special. They go above and beyond for their couples and make you feel like family. Almost 6 months after we had been married they still check in to see how we are doing and actually gave us a Christmas gift. Our wedding was everything we could have wanted and more! We recommend anyone and everyone we know to book with Rasberry Greene!
At any moment during our wedding experience, from planning for months to the big day, we knew we chose the best venue! Mr. Donnie and Mrs. Lauren always went above and beyond to help make our day as perfect as possible and exactly what we wanted. Not only were they extremely helpful, but the sweetest, most genuine people. The Gin was the best choice for our wedding venue because of its true, natural beauty and the ability for us to dress it up as much as we wanted or dress it down and casual. It was perfect just as our entire wedding day! :)
Rasberry Greene is fantastic! It is the loveliest of settings, nestled among tall pine trees and a beautiful lake. It truly is a vision, and was absolutely perfect for our wedding in October! We were married outdoors, but there are many other options….inside the Gin, out on the deck, amongst the trees, by the lake, etc….the possibilities are endless. What we liked most about Rasberry Greene was that it wasn’t your typical “rustic barn” setting. Instead, it offered the rustic charm but blended it with modern, chic elements. (I absolutely loved all the lighting details in The Gin!) Beyond the beautiful setting, Lauren and Donnie, the owners, are two of the sweetest people!! They were so accommodating, and I could go on for days about how fabulous they are. From the very first time you meet them, you can tell they truly care about the couples that come through their doors and will do anything they can to make sure you have the wedding of your dreams. I’ve never felt so connected to a place in such a short amount of time, and couldn’t recommend this lovely venue enough!
The Gin at Rasberry Greene was absolutely the perfect venue for my daughter's dream wedding! Lauren , from the Gin, asked my daughter what type of wedding she was looking for. When my daughter replied that she wanted a "vintage" feel wedding, Lauren & Donnie Zumwalt went above & beyond what we could have ever imagined to give my daughter her vintage fairy-tale wedding! The Gin has so much character in itself, but when they so graciously offered some extra pieces, it came to life and was absolutely breathtaking! Thank you to The Gin at Rasberry Green and Lauren & Donnie for giving my daughter & our family precious memories that will last a lifetime!
There is just something about this place you can just feel the love here . There are so many places that you can have the ceremony at . They went above and beyond to make our daughters wedding day a dream come true . the place it's self is beautiful but the people make it amazing.
What a wonderful and beautiful place to get married! I work with and see many venues and this is one of the best by far. I am one of the cake decorators in the area and had the opportunity to work with them on a wedding. They were amazing and very helpful with everything. I would highly recommend, The Gin at Raseberry Greene.
