“I had a fabulous experience working with Nika and her team for our wedding at the Historic Drish House. The Drish House is a beautiful venue with lots of options for neat photos. We had about 115 guests; our ceremony was inside and our reception was in the tent! The inside ballroom has beautiful chandeliers and wood floors, the upstairs was the perfect place to get ready and hang out pre-wedding, and the tent provided a fun spot to have dinner and dance on the black and white checkered dance floor. 10/10 recommend!”

The Cedars is an event venue and vacation home rental that is part of a working cattle farm. Built in 1890 in the Greek Revival Farmhouse style, it still sits in its original location today. Early in 2019, the restoration of the original Nathan Bryan Whitfield, Sr. home began with the vision to return the historic farm home to a public place for sharing its beauty, family history and its agricultural significance with the community and others.By 1890, Dr. Whitfield’s son, Nathan built The Cedars, naming it for a grove of cedar trees that grew between the home and the road, which is now U.S. Highway 80. In April of 2009, Alabama Governor, Bob Riley, and Commissioner of Agriculture, Ron Sparks, designated The Cedars as an Alabama Century Farm. Being recognized as a Century Farm means that the farm has been in operation as a family farm for over 100 years and has played a significant role in Alabama’s history.
