Kimberly is the best!

This home was the perfect size for our needs, featuring gorgeous bushes and grounds. They had all the amenities I needed to make my wedding day amazing. All of that coupled with Kimberly's excellent, thoughtful, and generous help made our day perfect. I can't thank everyone at the Mary Gay House enough.

Saved our reception!

Our original venue canceled about a month out from our wedding and Kimberly saved the day. We were able to tour almost immediately and she had great suggestions for how to use the space and set up tables and chairs. She even gave us company ideas for rentals of tents, heaters and etc.
The Mary Gay House ended up being better than our original venue would have been and the decor is amazing.
Thank you to helping us have the wedding day of our dreams!

Beautiful Southern Summer Wedding

I got married at the Mary Gay House earlier this month and had an absolutely wonderful experience! It was a beautiful event (despite the rain) and the staff was so accommodating and kind throughout the planning process. It was a great value and the perfect venue for a charming, southern wedding!

I have done a wedding once here in the past. The woman who works with the client is very nice and accommodating. It is an absolutely wonderfully kept historical home that has indoor and outdoor space for your smaller wedding.
