This was the best wedding venue we could have ever chose. The food was so good. All of the food on our guests plates were empty! Not to mention the venue itself is gorgeous. Their staff was 10/10 to work with and went above and beyond what I expected. If I could do it all over again I would not change a thing!

I have worked at Maple Lawn over the past 7 years photographing weddings there and every time I get to work at the property I am so happy to work with Sue the coordinator. She is a joyous person to be around and exactly who you would want coordinating your wedding. She is on time, personable and knows how to run a wedding. The property has a lot of space for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready and many unique features such as the 19th century mansion and the ceremony site area surrounded by large beautiful magnolia trees. The guests love being able to explore the grounds and the couples adore the beautiful, unique flavor of the venue. I would highly recommend Maple Lawn to any prospective couples.
