The building is patterned after one of the oldest churches in America, Bruton Parish Church of Williamsburg, Virginia. Inside the Colonial Chapel, rays of a late afternoon sunset filter through arched windows. Reminiscent of those lovely tradition-filled chapels of early America, the chapel can seat more than 200 guests in the rich wooden-paneled box seating and old-fashioned pews. Colonial polished brass chandeliers cast a gentle glow of period lighting, accenting the chapel's tasteful interior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ok4MpAL_us4/Tk5wGQ4sRZI/AAAAAAAAARA/eqRrM47ChIM/s1600/americanvillagewedding32_taylorhaynie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="177" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ok4MpAL_us4/Tk5wGQ4sRZI/AAAAAAAAARA/eqRrM47ChIM/s320/americanvillagewedding32_taylorhaynie.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Taylor Haynie Photography&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%;"&gt;There are several wonderful reception locations to choose from within the 113-acre site. The American Village’s historic barn is newly renovated and has all the modern amenities you need with the rustic charm you want. Alternately, Liberty Hall is a traditionally elegant ballroom with cut-glass chandeliers and dark-stained hardwood floors. This room was patterned after The East Room of The White House. There are also large open green spaces available for tent set-ups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;

The Aldridge family had owned the local nursery, dating back to Eddie's father, Loren Aldridge, for whom the botanical gardens are named. The Aldridge Botanical Gardens now occupy 30 acres of the Aldridge estate, showcasing some of the most beautiful and fragrant plants that Hoover, Alabama, has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the story goes, Eddie Aldridge first glimpsed the current site of the Botanical Gardens in 1966. At that time, the location was the property of the Coxe family, who had hired the Aldridge family nursery to plant three magnolia trees on the property. Having been raised from childhood in an environment that nurtured and appreciated nature's wonders, Eddie instantly saw the beauty of the landscape, and immediately remarked that the property would be the ideal location for a park or botanical garden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than a decade later, the Coxe family decided to sell the property. Remembering how impressed he was with the landscaping, Aldridge wasted no time in putting an offer on the table, and the land became the Aldridge estate. But for Eddie, simply owning the land was not enough. Aldridge felt that property this beautiful should be developed, sculpted and shared with the public. As such, acquiring the land was the first in a long series of steps towards creating what we now know as the Aldridge Botanical Gardens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the Aldridge Botanical Gardens are surrounded by lush forests and calming streams, the greatest impression for first time visitors is often made by the large assortment of hydrangeas. In fact, the Aldridge family has always maintained a reputation for being leading experts on the hydrangea. Eddie's father has even been credited with the discovery of the Snowflake Hydrangea, which can be found in abundance across the Aldridge Botanical Gardens.&lt;br /&gt;(Jerry Garner)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6483863606193665269-769949003176809063?l=alsweddings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.aldridgegardens.com/' title='Aldridge Botanical Gardens'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alsweddings.blogspot.com/feeds/769949003176809063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alsweddings.blogspot.com/2011/08/aldridge-botanical-gardens.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6483863606193665269/posts/default/769949003176809063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6483863606193665269/posts/default/769949003176809063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alsweddings.blogspot.com/2011/08/aldridge-botanical-gardens.html' title='Aldridge Botanical Gardens'/><author><name>Amanda Schexnayder</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/116712822853074491422</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-HtFg0O0lWdo/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPo/60scRaAzLvk/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3291/2401977248_1771b236f6_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483863606193665269.post-171514333227454445</id><published>2011-07-29T20:35:00.009-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-09T03:01:10.590-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Birmingham Zoo Lodge</title><content type='html'>&lt;script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;fb:like href="http://alsweddings.blogspot.com/2011/07/birmingham-zoo-lodge.html" send="true" show_faces="false" width="450"&gt;&lt;/fb:like&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qkwsRXLF8Tc/TkDpJR23A4I/AAAAAAAAAOk/NAUqx4t6y6I/s1600/zoo+lodge+Front+Entrance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qkwsRXLF8Tc/TkDpJR23A4I/AAAAAAAAAOk/NAUqx4t6y6I/s320/zoo+lodge+Front+Entrance.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;2630 Cahaba Road&lt;br /&gt;Birmingham, AL 35223&lt;br /&gt;Mindy Bergh&lt;br /&gt;205-397-3859&lt;br /&gt;mbergh@birminghamzoo.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Zoo Lodge is a rustic stone house nestled in the woods that will accommodate approximately 50 people for a meeting or&amp;nbsp;seated dinner and 85 for a reception (indoors). &amp;nbsp;The patio and lawn may be used also for an outdoor event or to accommodate&amp;nbsp;larger attendance (approx 200). &amp;nbsp;In addition to the main event space inside, the Lodge has a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a small side room perfect for the bride's dressing room.

After&amp;nbsp;the building was abandoned and sat&amp;nbsp;vacant for years, the Red Mountain Church purchased and renovated the theater and it is now utilized as their meeting place for Sunday worship. The Theater is a big open room with a large&amp;nbsp;elevated platform&amp;nbsp;on one end that can double as a stage for your ceremony and for your reception entertainment.

The building is a testament to the Magic City's beginning as it was originally an iron works. Enormous windows across the front give it character and charm from the outside,&amp;nbsp;while beautiful paintings and sculptures add a touch of modern sophistication inside.&amp;nbsp; This is no stuffy art gallery - the space has a very warm and relaxed atmosphere and requires very little decorating since it's already beautiful! I am really excited about this place because the rental includes so many extras! If you would like to view the space in person, the gallery is open Tuesday - Friday 10am to 4pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.alabama360.com/gopro/mattjonesgallery/tw_mattjonesgallery.html"&gt;Click here for a virtual tour&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Matt-Jones-Gallery/371046898217?v=wall"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;page&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7cAt4eL2RgY/Tky_IDSZNhI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/8b1l0NeuGbQ/s1600/Matt-Jones-Gallery-Wedding-101-1024x681danieltaylor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7cAt4eL2RgY/Tky_IDSZNhI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/8b1l0NeuGbQ/s320/Matt-Jones-Gallery-Wedding-101-1024x681danieltaylor.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Daniel Taylor Photography&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Fees:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;$2700 Reception&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;$2900 Ceremony &amp;amp; Reception&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Here's what you get:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use of the Main Gallery Room &amp;amp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Back Gallery Room with Brazillian wood bar&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1&amp;nbsp; 60 inch round table&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;13&amp;nbsp; 48 inch round tables&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;104 Chairs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;4&amp;nbsp; 8ft banquet tables&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;6 highboy tables&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Table linens in your choice of solid color&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Security Guard (required)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Staff members to setup and breakdown the ceremony and/or reception&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&amp;nbsp;More information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Matt Jones Gallery is wheelchair accessible.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Saturday setup cannot begin before 3pm.

If you'd like a swanky 1920's/1930's flavor for your event, no doubt you should consider Old Car Heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's an antique car museum located in a warehouse setting, under the 35th Street Bridge on 1st Ave South.  And it's got tons of retro appeal.  What used to be a loading dock is now a stage and dance floor, and sitting at the elegant martini bar will make you think you've stepped back in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oldcarheaven.com/images/gallery-img1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.oldcarheaven.com/images/gallery-img1.jpg" width="383" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oldcarheaven.com/images/gallery-img5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.oldcarheaven.com/images/gallery-img5.jpg" width="383" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire facility offers 46,000 square feet of event space and can accommodate up to 1,500 guests! There are three event spaces inside the venue. The main space features a stage, large seating area for up to 800 of your closest friends and family, and the ultra-cool Art-Deco lounge area with a vintage oak and block-glass bar. There are also 2 satellite bars in this room, which are housed inside 1920's era Chrysler delivery vehicles. Friendly bartenders serve up refreshing libations with names like the "Back Seat", "Lube Job", "AntiFreeze" and "Stop Light".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7j4bglXXyB0/StanyaHRZvI/AAAAAAAAARk/Bf3-2GgVHkY/s1600/IMG_6711.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7j4bglXXyB0/StanyaHRZvI/AAAAAAAAARk/Bf3-2GgVHkY/s400/IMG_6711.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The rear warehouse is where you will find most of the owner's&amp;nbsp;collection of 113 Classic American automobiles, which includes many makes and models from the 1920's through the 1970's by manufacturers such as Chrysler, Packard, and Monteverdi..&amp;nbsp;The unique American cars are on display inside the warehouse, and there is a big space in the middle for you and up to 400 guests to dine, mix, and mingle. Old Car Heaven offers the option of customizing the automobile display to fit your particular theme, and also offer several of the vehicles for rent.

Bundy.&amp;nbsp; The estate is approximately five acres, with the two-story brick house sporting a terra cotta tile roof. The entryway is turreted, and there are multiple patios and terraces surrounding the house. Interior feature include: large rooms designed for entertaining; multiple murals and original stained glass windows reflecting a Spanish theme; textured walls; a grand staircase; a bedroom balcony overlooking the living room; many arches and columns; tile flooring and original tile scenes accenting the fireplaces. Today, the house remains a restored Birmingham landmark. Current resident and owner Brenda Jones has renamed the estate&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;Gabrella Manor&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in honor of her grandmother.&amp;nbsp; The house sits at the outer edge of the Roebuck Springs Historic District and is used as a meeting place for events such as weddings, receptions and anniversaries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

Here's what she had to say:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #a8d5d6;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Vollkorn, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #a8d5d6;"&gt;"While interning at the Museum, I have come to learn that a big part of the Museum staff’s job is assisting people in the community with their special events. This happens to be of particular interest to me because I recently had a very special event at the Museum—my wedding reception. My overall experience was so pleasant that I feel encouraged to share my story.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="font-family: Vollkorn, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #a8d5d6;"&gt;&lt;img alt="dancing_thumb" height="200" src="http://www.artsbma.org/images/blog/dancing_thumb.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; float: right;" width="200" /&gt;When planning a wedding, it is easy to feel flustered, especially when you realize there are hundreds of decisions to make! One decision was simple for me, however; I knew where I wanted to have my reception. Having been an Art History major in college, my love of art brought me directly to the Museum. After a walk through with Brynne MacCann, the Facilities Special Events Coordinator, it became even more apparent that the location was perfect. The Museum lends itself beautifully to any ideas a bride might have. Whether the event is large or small, there is a way to make it work at the Museum. Whenever there was a concern, the Museum staff was beyond helpful, and every time I did a walkthrough, I became more and more excited.

Strange and dedicated in 1988, the Strange Auditorium is the most versatile room imaginable. On any given day, the room may be pressed into service to host classes, lectures, meetings, art exhibits, luncheons, wedding receptions, fund raising dinners, charity auctions and craft shows. Each year over a dozen flower shows are staged, ranging from Camellias and Ferns, to Roses and Standard Garden Club Shows; most are free and the public is encouraged to attend. An adjoining full kitchen and prep room are available when renting the Strange Auditorium. Renters of this room often rent the adjoining Hodges Room as well, and with it, the beautiful and private Rushton Garden just outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hodges Room $200&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hodges Room, named in honor of Frances Spain Hodges and dedicated in 1972, is useful for small- to medium-sized meetings and activities, especially when visual and physical access to the out-of-doors is desired. The lush, secluded Rushton Garden, with its café seating and rushing waterfall, is just outside. The carpeted Hodges Room is often rented along with the Strange Auditorium, combining to make a gracious setting for a large affair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/clairedrummondphotography/0221g.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/clairedrummondphotography/0221g.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ireland Room &amp;nbsp;(Claire Drummond Photography)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ireland Room $400&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overlooking the Blount Plaza, the Ireland Room has been a popular and multi-functional room for nearly twenty years. Given in memory of Katherine Ireland by her mother, Mrs. C. Barney Ireland, and her brothers, William Reynolds and Glenn Ireland II, it features a stylish white oak parquet floor, crystal chandeliers and display cases housing our collection of Boehm porcelain birds. This room provides a gracious setting for numerous activities. Banquet seating for 80 guests is available. In addition, an adjacent small prep kitchen and service elevator access to a full kitchen on the first floor make catered meals easy. The Ireland Room is often rented along with the East Room, just across the lobby. Take your activity outside by adding the Hill Garden, accessible directly over the Plaza Bridge and through the Belvedere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;East Room $200&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The East Room is a comfortable, carpeted room for small- to medium-sized meetings and activities. Like most of our other rooms that are available for rentals, multiple seating arrangements are easily accommodated.  The East Room overlooks the Blount Plaza and sits across the lobby from the Ireland Room. These two rooms are often rented together, and in conjunction with the Hill Garden, which is easily accessible from the Plaza Bridge and Belvedere just outside. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Room Capacity Information&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="1" cellpadding="10"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;

There is lighting leading up the path to the chapel, but there is no lighting outside of the pavilion, so you should provide lanterns or luminarias to guide your guests to their cars if your event will take place after dark. The pavilion also has attached restrooms and a storage room with a refrigerator and deep freezer. There are no counters in the restrooms, so &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.pbalabama.com/listings/192.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 241px; height: 325px;" src="http://www.pbalabama.com/listings/192.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;if you want to do bathroom baskets, you will need to bring a small table to put in there. The 4H Center has 6ft banquet tables and chairs for your use included in the rental prices.  Chairs are white plastic folding variety; these are nice, but not the typical "wedding" chairs. They are a bit larger than normal folding chairs. Tablecloths may be rented from the 4H Center, they are not floor length but they are still very nice. If you want to rent table skirts for these tables, note that the clips normally used to attach them to the table will not fit (found that out the hard way). Doublesided fabric tape will work however (look for it at Walmart in the sewing section, it is called "Res-Q Tape" - it's a good thing). The staff is easy to work with and helpful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="float: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fees:&lt;br /&gt;Chapel + Pavilion (all day) $1500&lt;br /&gt;Hospitality Suite (for dressing) $150&lt;br /&gt;Golf Cart Rental $20/hr&lt;br /&gt;Tablecloths $4 each&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Pavilion (click to enlarge photo)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-DPjsgg7dLk/SkBQortIAYI/AAAAAAAAAF8/xPRX7ehJtxg/s1600-h/IMG_7896+copy+Stitch.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 412px; height: 105px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-DPjsgg7dLk/SkBQortIAYI/AAAAAAAAAF8/xPRX7ehJtxg/s320/IMG_7896+copy+Stitch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350365017173131650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On-site Catering is available from the 4H Center.&lt;br /&gt;If you choose to hire an outside caterer, there is an additional $1 per person charge (they say this is for clean-up, ect.)

Ceremonies are held outdoors in the garden or inside a large tent on the large side lawn.  Rosewood is a full service wedding facility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following information is from the Rosewood website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 5px; clear: both;"&gt;The original owner of the property, Mrs. R.E. Smith, named the estate Rosewood Farms because of the beautiful roses that were grown on the property. The house has a formal living room, dining room, parlor, butlers pantry and a large banquet room. The swing set in the side yard has been in place for over seventy years for the enjoyment of the children who grace Rosewood with their presence.&lt;br /&gt;The house features beautiful crystal chandeliers that date back more than seventy five years. The parlor has a secret hiding place in the bookcase that was undoubtedly used for hiding important documents and probably family money. The front rooms of the house have gorgeous original hardwood floors. Rosewood has a total of four fireplaces. The unique front door is actually a “goat door”, with the top opening separate from the bottom. It is surrounded by original leaded glass. The window treatments in the living room are antique and very unusual. They were rescued from an estate home in the Bessemer area. The furnishings in the downstairs and the Bridal room are antique and handpicked for the home. The construction of the house is still sound today due to the wonderful craftsmanship of yesteryear. All of the ceilings and floors are tongue and groove heart of pine. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 5px; clear: both;"&gt;  &lt;span style="float: right; padding-left: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.arosewoodevent.com/home/images/pagemaster/DSC_8180.JPG" alt="Interior" title="Interior" border="0" width="200" height="133" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;In May of 2006 Billy and Renee Mikell purchased Rosewood with the dream of holding weddings, receptions, anniversary parties, teas, etc., in this wonderful old estate. They immediately began renovations and major landscaping to once again have roses scattered around the property. They restored the old lily pond, cleared property and built a beautiful natural rock wall for one of the several ceremony areas planned for the venue. They have beautifully illuminated Rosewood, complete with chandeliers hanging from the hundred plus year old trees. They have plans in the future to build a replica of an old wedding chapel in the pasture area of the estate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="style5"&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 5px; clear: both;"&gt;  &lt;span style="padding: 0pt 10px 0pt 0pt; float: left;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.arosewoodevent.com/home/images/pagemaster/cake.jpg" alt="Cake" title="Cake" border="0" width="200" height="267" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    • Rosewood has a fifty guest minimum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• We can accommodate up to 250 guests for an outdoor ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Rosewood has a plentiful, lighted parking area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Rosewood does not allow outside catering. Catering service is provided complete with custom made cakes in a variety of flavors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• We offer the convenience of hosting the rehearsal dinners here at Rosewood. A rehearsal dinner is traditionally the groom’s night. We can create a themed event to match his personality. Pricing can be requested via email.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• A wedding director ensures that your event will go smoothly and is required here at Rosewood regardless of the size of the wedding party. Our director helps with planning your ceremony, selection of music, and your program arrangement. One hour of rehearsal and pre-ceremony time in addition to the ceremony time is included. The price for our director is $175.00. This is to be paid 2 weeks prior to the rehearsal and the check is to be made payable to the director. Payment can be made here at Rosewood and we can forward it to the director. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 5px; clear: both;"&gt;  &lt;span style="float: right; padding-left: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.arosewoodevent.com/home/images/pagemaster/invite.jpg" alt="Invitation" title="Invitation" border="0" width="200" height="301" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;• Smoking is prohibited at Rosewood except for a designated smoking area outside. This policy is strictly adhered to. Your damage deposit could be forfeited if this policy is violated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Our cake cutting service is offered at no additional charge to you. We also have toasting flutes and silver cake knives available for your use at no charge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Fresh flower petals are approved for throwing and bubbles look beautiful in pictures. Sparklers have to be pre-approved according to the weather. (no birdseed, rice, silly string, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;• Our in-house sound system is available to play the CD’s of your choice during your event. There are speakers located in each room. We also have a sound system located on the grounds outdoors. You can set the mood of your ceremony the moment your guests walk onto the grounds of Rosewood. (Our system is not compatible with D.J. or band sound systems)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• You may arrive up to three hours before ceremony time for photographs.  (extra time can be arranged if necessary)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• We offer the convenience of floral design here at Rosewood. After booking your event, we will arrange a meeting with our floral designer, Tracy Sloan. One half of the floral charges are due at booking with the remainder to be paid three weeks prior to the event. All floral payments are to be made directly to Ms. Sloan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Photography and D.J. services are not provided by Rosewood. We will happily recommend vendors to accommodate your needs in these areas and can coordinate these services for you if needed. Our recommended vendors do a wonderful job with very reasonable prices. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 5px; clear: both;"&gt;  &lt;span style="padding: 0pt 10px 0pt 0pt; float: left;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.arosewoodevent.com/home/images/pagemaster/DSC01375_1.jpg" alt="Tent" title="Tent" border="0" width="400" height="300" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    • We can provide an officiate if you have need of one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Because we are basically an outdoor facility, we have a 30x60 ft pole tent that seats 200 guests for a ceremony that is included in the venue rental. Tenting is a very elegant look for your event and is wonderful to have in case of inclement weather. Pole draping for center pole and exterior poles are included. We also include 6 beautiful chandeliers in the venue rental fee. Other tent lighting is available for an additional charge. There is a $150.00 set up fee required for the tent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• We have a 12x12 dance floor that is available for rental.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• A non-refundable deposit of $1000.00 is required at the time of booking your event. Half of your balance is due 3 months before your date. The remainder of your balance must be paid 3 weeks prior to your event. A payment schedule can be set up for your convenience. Final payment later than 3 weeks before your event, will be subject to an additional charge of 5%, to be received before your event can take place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• A refundable damage deposit of $500.00 is also required at the time of booking your event. Any additional charges for surprise guests will be deducted from this deposit before the refund is given. This will be refunded within 14 days of your event if no damage to property here at Rosewood occurs. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 5px; clear: both;"&gt;  &lt;span style="float: right; padding-left: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.arosewoodevent.com/home/images/pagemaster/DSC01704.jpg" alt="Rosewood" title="Rosewood" border="0" width="250" height="188" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;We serve Southern style food here at Rosewood and are open to suggestions for your menu.

From our initial contact months prior until we drove away afterwards, Mrs. Brenda Lee was concerned with the best experience for us. We appreciate the professional way in which our requests were cared for and the kindness and love that permeated the entire process. We recommend the Cates House &amp;amp; staff for any occasion that their facilities permit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;Mr. and Mrs. Robert Foust, parents of the Bride&lt;br /&gt;Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Knight, Bride and Groom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;We were recently married at the "Cates House", and I must tell you we both have nothing but good things to say. The pressure was removed when it came down to the big day by the help of the Brenda and her staff. Brenda was remarkable in planning our ceremony and reception. The wedding ceremony was exquisite. There was just enough of candlelight and moonlight merged together to create the perfect romantic setting. Our reception was outstanding. Our cake was beautiful, and everyone enjoyed the chocolate fountain. With a layout like no other we were able to easily move about the house while enjoying being around the ones we love the most.
