    Elegant Dream Wedding

    My daughter just married at Alda's Magnolia Hill and what keeps coming to mind is that she had the wedding brides dream of. The setting is beautiful in a historic home, beautifully furnished, with a lakeside ceremony and carriage house venue for the reception. No detail was overlooked. So many special moments were orchestrated by Alda and Buddy that were just made for amazing photography. We can't wait for the pictures! This was the perfect place to celebrate my daughter and new son in law's perfect wedding day.

    Alda's Magnolia Hill

    This was absolutely the most wonderful wedding I have ever been to. Alda and Buddy and their crew did everything possible to make this such a beautiful wedding.....including the setting, organization, shuttling, flowers catering, music and beautiful white doves. And I will never forget the fun and laughter!!! Every detail was just perfect from beginning to end...What a beautiful event thanks to Alda's Magnolia Hill.

    Fairy tale Wedding

    My daughter's wedding was an absolute fairy tale. Buddy and Alda Ellis at Alda's Magnolia Hill define southern charm and class. The property is gorgeous! A beautiful lake, horse drawn carriage, beautiful decor and the kindest most considerate folks you will ever work with. Alda has every detail in mind. They truly get to know the bride and groom (and parents) and can make all of your wedding dreams come to life. Planning during a pandemic and an approaching hurricane....they always had a Plan B if needed, but with many thoughts and prayers we were able to do exactly what our daughter had always dreamed of. If you want 5star plus class, with the finest people you will ever meet, Alda's Magnolia Hill is the venue for you!
    Alda has an eye for decoration, planning, as well as the finest vendors to work with & the cake was included and perfect!

    A Southern Belle's Dream

    Y'all. I can't even adequately put into words how incredible Alda's Magnolia Hill was as a venue for our wedding. My husband and I had to move our ceremony up 3 weeks from our original wedding date due to the threat of COVID-19, which meant we had one week until our wedding from the day that we decided to move our wedding up! Talk about STRESS! Alda took that all away, though. She built a schedule for me and took care of the little details that I had on my plate. Alda and Buddy know what they are doing and make sure that you are taken care of. Their focus is on making sure that you have the best experience possible for your big day! The venue is stunning and the people are amazing! If you're looking for a dreamy, romantic, Southern wedding, this is the place to go! Love, love, loved our experience!

    Excellent Venue

    I cannot say enough good things about Alda's Magnolia Hill venue and the proprietors Alda & Buddy. The venue itself is gorgeous and provides a beautiful setting on a historic piece of land with the water as a picturesque backdrop. Both Buddy and Alda take a lot of pride in their venue and it shows in the amount of care and upkeep that takes place.
    Once you choose to become a Magnolia Hill Bride you feel like you gain a new family in both Alda and Buddy. They want your day to go off perfectly and truly represent your style. That was one the things that stood out most to me, Alda works so hard to get a sense of who you are and your decorating style. Also, Alda is so easy to communicate with day or night. I never felt that my questions and concerns were not being answered or addressed.
    Overall, my husband and I had a wonderful experience with Alda's Magnolia Hill and will recommend it to everyone! Our wedding day was beautiful, personalized, well organized and best off all no stress to us.

    The perfect venue with all the southern charm!

    Alda handled everything for me! We were eloping and traveling from Florida. She handled the flowers, the cake, the music, and every single detail. It was the exact experience we were looking for with ALL the southern charm!

    Captured our daughter and son-in-law's personalities to a tee!

    I wish I could give this venue more than 5 stars! Our daughers wedding was here last weekend and I can't stop smiling about it. It was an absolute fairytale wedding! I can't count the number of compliments we have received! Miss Alda and Mr. Buddy are consummate professionals, with a perfect eye for detail and superb service, I didn't have to worry about a thing. She used my daughter's pinterest board to give her everything she wanted in décor. Not one mistake was made and the wedding timing was perfect. We will smile with the memory of the wedding for the rest of our lives!

    My husband Landon and I were (and still are) above and beyond pleased in our selection of Alda's Magnolia Hill as our wedding venue. It is evident through the quality of service that Ms. Alda, Mr. Buddy, and their team provided that they are a premiere "total package" wedding service. When thinking back to our special day, one of my favorite parts was how Ms. Alda created an atmosphere that was completely unique to me. The decor was timeless and classic, and her floral arrangements were absolutely stunning. Ms. Alda is so skilled in creating original moments through the beauty of her property combined with her talents.
    I was also so pleased at how well Ms. Alda communicated with us throughout the process. She kindly kept me on track when I erred towards being a procrastinator, and I truly could not have thought of all those details on my own. If I did it all over again, I would absolutely choose to have Alda coordinate my wedding; without her I would have no idea where to start!
    Alda's Magnolia Hill truly has a special gift for weddings. In a world where the industry sets an incredibly high standard, they constantly surpass it and make families feel unique and special with every wedding. I would absolutely recommend Alda's to anyone!

    1000 stars for Alda Ellis and her Magnolia Hill weddings!!! Our children were married there last weekend and it was beyond a fairytale!
    Alda and Buddy are truly two of the most gracious people you will ever meet. Alda's organization and attention to every detail are surpassed only by her creative talent and her servant's heart.
    I would challenge you to find a more special place or people to host your wedding venue!
    Alda's Magnolia Hill was a such a blessing and we are very grateful for the opportunity we had to work with Alda!

    As the father of the bride, I must say that the overall experience was nothing short of magical. Mrs. Alda and Mr. Buddy Ellis ran everything flawlessly. Magnolia Hill was beautiful in its own right but also beautifully decorated. The outdoor setting with the picturesque lake and woods in the background were amazing. A dove release at the end of the wedding ceremony was an extremely special touch. All of the extras such as the groom rolling up in the classic truck and my daughter and myself trotting up via horse and carriage were spectacular making the bride truly feel like a princess. The reception hall, bar area, fire pit for s’mores etc. were great and added to everything. The supporting areas with providers suggested via Mrs. Alda (making life easier on us) were the talk of all the guests (i.e. everyone raved over the food provided by the caterer “Dinner’s Ready” and the cake arrangement was beautiful). The send-off/exit in the classic car with fireworks provided a great climactic ending. I can’t say enough great things about Alda’s Magolia Hill and Mrs. Alda and Mr. Buddy Ellis. Thanks for memories we will never forget!

    Alda and Buddy made our wedding something out of a fairy tale. I could never imagine having a better wedding. They put the time and effort into every single detail, so that our day was nothing short of perfection. Not to mention the gorgeous sight that the venue itself is. I could never imagine another venue even coming close to our experience at Magnolia Hill.

    My daughter got married yesterday at Alda's Magnolia Hill, and it was an absolute fairytale wedding! Alda and Buddy are awesome, and everything was absolutely perfect in every way!! The Groom and Best Man paddled in on a canoe, my 87 year old Mother was the flower girl, my daughter was delivered in a horse drawn carriage, they released doves after they said their vows, fireworks, then after the reception they drove away in an old historic car with more fireworks!!! A dream come true for my little girl!!! Thank you so..so....much Alda and Buddy for your part in creating the memory of a lifetime!!!
