We absolutely loved working with Mr. Donnie and Ms. Lauren at Rasberry Greene. They were an absolute God send in helping us make our daughter’s dream wedding come true! The propert...
y is stunning and was the perfect spot for our daughter and son in law to start their forever! Ms. Lauren always answered my texts or phone calls and was so patient and kind with questions and truly had our best interest at heart. They have a whole room of decorations you can use if you need. We were able to make several trips out to the property to take pictures or meet with vendors and they were always so accommodating. Wedding day was supposed to have some pretty nasty weather and before I could even talk to her about it, she was already planning and coordinating with our wedding coordinator and other vendors. She, Mr. Donnie and other staff were already working on a plan B. Thankfully, we did not need that plan, but so grateful they were already a step ahead of us and the weather! Another problem she solved was the wedding cake. Our dear, sweet dessert caterer forgot the brides cake. He was devastated, but Ms. Lauren got on the phone and got us a cake! She was even going to have a family member go pick it up, but our caterer handle it. Just the little things that could have turned big if she and her staff had not been so calm, kind and professional. Our year long planning and working with Ms. Lauren and staff at Rasberry Greene, was amazing and would 1000% recommend this sweet couple and facility.
Perfect weddding venue! Absolutely beautiful and fantastic people that help you every step of the way! Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our special day!

ur 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!

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!

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 i...
nside 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 hel...

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 ...

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 ne...
ver 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 owne...

g 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!
