Ceremony & Reception Locations

Airlie Oak Lawn
This area is popular for a tented reception or event. The large, open area provides plenty of space for dining, entertainment, and lawn games. The area has perimeter lighting and up lighting on trees at night. Photo by Millie Holloman Photography

 

 

 

Bradley Creek Lawn
Located between Airlie Lake and the Bradley Creek Pier. This location creates a romantic atmosphere and spectacular water view for a ceremony or reception. This is the perfect spot for the bride who would like to be married by the water. Photo by Chris Zachary Photography

 

 

The Pergola Garden
This is our most popular site for wedding ceremonies. The “Bridal Walk” acts as a natural aisle for the bride to process toward her groom. The aisle leads to the lawn and down the center of the seated guests. The bride continues walking as she meets her groom in front of the Pergola to exchange vows.

Minnie Evans Bottle Chapel
The bottle chapel is frequently used for wedding ceremonies. This is also a more intimate spot for a tented reception or event for up to 150 guests or a cocktail hour of up to 300 guests. Photo by Eric Von Bargen
