About

The Sonnet House is located on Highway 119 in Leeds, AL. Centered on 18 acres, the back property line is shared with the Little Cahaba Creek. Only 15 miles from Downtown Birmingham, and 10 miles from Highway 280, The Sonnet House offers a very convenient and easy to reach location for guests familiar and unfamiliar with the Birmingham area. We are semi-inclusive meaning we provide in-house catering, florals, and coordination. Unlike other Venues in the Birmingham area, The Sonnet House only hosts one event each day. Since the recent completion of the Outdoor Stage, The Sonnet House can offer multiple outdoor locations for your ceremony. No need to worry about rain, our Indoor Ceremony option is available to all weddings held on site. With only one wedding held each day the indoor option is even available last minute. To see pictures of the Venue visit our website. Our management team will meet with you and your vendors to determine exactly how the facility will be set up for your event. Our open floor plan allows the house to be customized to your exact needs, which makes every event unique. In preparation for your event, we offer the use of our fully furnished Bride's and Groom's room. Both located on the 2nd floor of The Sonnet House, these rooms offer additional privacy for both families and the wedding party while everyone is getting ready. If you are interested in additional information email will be the best option. Please leave a message if we are unable to answer the phone and we will get back to you as soon as we can. Hope to hear from you soon!

Absolute perfection!

Our experience at The Sonnet House was absolute perfection! Their attention to detail was impressive and they over-delivered on the day of. Everything was as we had discussed (or better!). The owners are genuine and kind while also being thorough and detail-oriented. We 100% recommend The Sonnet House!!

Beautiful, natural, “backyard” wedding vibe!

The Sonnet House went above and beyond with executing our special day! They were so accommodating to ever want/need we had during the planning process AND the day of. They made us feel like the guests of honor rather than the hosts. The venue is absolutely stunning with beautiful charm of the 1918 building. They made our dreams of having a beautiful, organic, “backyard” wedding come true!! Plenty of room to get ready, each, dance, and make beautiful memories!!

I shot a wedding here last year and just can't help but praise the wonderful staff and gorgeous venue! Everyone there is super helpful and kind and the venue itself is simply wonderful for a country affair. The Sonnet House has many photogenic locations for pictures so you can bet that you and your guests will have many wonderful memories to look back on when you get your photos. On a personal note one of the photos I took is in my main portfolio and will more than likely be there for years to come! It'll be really hard to top that one :)

Having worked many weddings over the years at the Sonnet House I can tell you with certainty that these folks are the best!! They are true professionals and take their task to heart. The home is beautiful as is the grounds. They are well prepared, rain or shine, to make your day perfect. The wonderful landscaped grounds are always well groomed with tons of perfect backdrops for pictures to capture your special day. You owe it to yourself and your guest to tour this venue and meet the wonderful staff prior deciding on your venue.
