Amazing wedding venue!

We just had our wedding at The Hounds a week ago and we could not be happier with our choice! The communication with Linda was so easy and helpful throughout the whole process, they were very accommodating to allow us to come in early for set up and leave things overnight to pick up the morning after. The outdoor space was absolutely gorgeous for our ceremony and cocktail hour while the inside had the perfect nautical touches while being enough of a blank slate that you can truly make it whatever you’d like. The natural lighting in the ballroom was absolutely beautiful, too. We got so many compliments on our choice of venue and we were truly so thrilled with our day.

So excited to be married here!

Susan is very responsive and helpful. Gleanna has offered to contribute towards my wedding cake and cupcakes for my wedding next summer! So excited to work with their team on my special day! The venue has been renovated and is so beautiful.

Best Venue Ever

We had the best experience with The Hounds. First of all, the grounds are gorgeous and just the quiet and serene setting we were looking for. Everyone from Clay, Gleanna, and Linda were so helpful and accommodating to all of our many requests. Dog Watch was great to work with for catering. Clay let us into the venue earlier than planned when we needed to start hair and makeup early, we were able to rent furniture and set up the space however we pleased. We loved feeling like we could have a lot of control of how we wanted our day to play out. I cannot recommend enough! We had only amazing reviews from our guests. I highly highly suggest having a wedding here, you will not be dissappointed!
