Loblolly Farm is a special events center with unique structures and landscapes, suitable for numerous events. Over four decades ago, owner Dulari Smith’s father bought Loblolly Farm in Semmes, Alabama. This sprawling, 400-acre property is named after its primary crop; the Loblolly Pine. The land surrounding the alfresco venue park is blanketed with healthy groves of trees creating a tranquil country setting. Over the years the land went through various transformations and now, due to their extraordinary vision, the event venue was created. Loblolly Farm is truly an escape from the noisy city streets, tall buildings and crowds that many other venues must contend with.

If you like a natural backdrop and you are looking at indoor and outdoor wedding venues, The Crawford House & Gardens might be for you.the garden beds and back and forth on the pea gravel path while touring, and explain that brides can come down the front steps across the side lawn so that all the guests get a good look, or sneak out the back and around to the hidden driveway to enter the aisle from a completely different direction with the giant oak as her backdrop. We want to give you a moment to soak in the different views and perhaps have a vision that no one else has had. The gardens and lawn change with every season, always giving a different look and feel. Whether it’s a ceremony on the steps, the front landing, in front of the fountain, in the Ceremony Circle, under a tent, or somewhere completely different - the magic can be created by you. We love your visions. And truthfully, I’m still finding my special spots in the garden. I bet you will too.
