A Dream Wedding

Where to even start...the Fairhope Inn was our saving grace in a year full of uncertainty and changed plans. When my husband and I started planning our wedding in early 2020, we were going to have it on my family’s farm in North Mississippi. Even after COVID hit, we still kept this plan because it would be outside, in October, and people could spread out and still have a good time. However, in the summer, when the restrictions on number of people allowed in gatherings tightened, we knew that it would no longer be possible to have the farm wedding and even include all of our family members. We both live in the Mobile area, so we started looking at local venues since the restrictions here were not so tight. One weekend in July, we came across the Fairhope Inn. Just stepping onto the lovely porch and seeing the swing (which are special to me and my family), I felt an overwhelming sense that this was going to be the place where we got married. That sense faltered a bit when we spoke with one of the owners, Jeffrey, who said that they were likely already booked up for October since it’s such a popular month for weddings. However, after checking the schedule, they had one weekend open, and it just so happened to be the date that we had chosen back in March. We were so relieved and felt as if it was meant to be. Jeffrey and all others who worked at the Inn during the months of planning and the wedding weekend itself were all beyond helpful and kind. The food (not just at the wedding, but their breakfast, brunch, and regular dinner) was all delicious and thoughtfully prepared. My parents and grandparents stayed in the rooms inside the Inn, while I stayed in the cottage. All of the ladies got their hair and makeup done together in the cottage, and it later became our newlywed suite as well. It was an ideal space for everything! The courtyard, with its beautiful gazebo and tranquil fountain, were the absolutely perfect setting for our ceremony and then for our reception as well. The band was able to set up a stage under the tent, which turned the courtyard into an awesome dance floor. The florist (Katherine of Jubilee Flowers, also in Fairhope) had an already-beautiful canvas to add to, and she even decorated the porch swing that had captured my heart on that first day. To say that we had a dream wedding at this venue doesn’t even do it justice. I may be biased, but it was the most beautiful wedding, and that’s thanks in (big) part to the Fairhope Inn for hosting it.

Jeffrey Mog
General Manager

Jeffrey is the smiling - and very familiar face - greeting guests to the Fairhope Inn.

The Cincinnati native built a seasoned resume in hospitality with stops in Chicago, Colorado and Tunica, MS opening properties from Marriott's Great America to the Hyatt Regency and several casino resorts before settling in Fairhope in 1998.

Mog joined the Fairhope Inn after its first major renovation as a restaurant and bed & breakfast under award-winning chef/owner Tyler Kean. Over the next 20 years he managed the restaurant and coordinated hundreds of luncheons, parties, wedding ceremonies and receptions.

When new owner Paige Dawson bought the Inn in 2019, Jeffrey returned from a brief retirement to assist with renovation and re-opening of this grande old dame of Fairhope dining.

Today the events have become generational, with the baby who once starred at a sip and see becoming the honoree at a graduation luncheon or even her own bridal shower. What he loves most? "Forming a connection with families that brings them in to the story and history of the Inn."

Jeffrey looks forward to planning a remarkable celebration uniquely you!
