What a lovely venue for a wedding! Beautiful, beautiful mountains for a backdrop. Lovely gardens and a plantation home that takes you back in time. Foxie Morgan, mistress of the "Plantation home" is a gardener extraordinaire. She will make sure that you have plenty of flowers for your wedding bouquet AND she will make her industrial kitchen available for your caterer. I officiated at a wedding at Pharsalia and I can tell you that Foxie and her staff believe in Southern Hospitality. Check it out.
