We just had our daughter’s wedding at Southern Celebrations at Collins Grove, and it was nothing short of magical. The setting was incredibly elegant, with stunning landscapes that created a picturesque backdrop for our special day. Every detail was beautifully designed, making the atmosphere feel enchanting and welcoming. The owners Kendra and Jeremy were attentive and ensured everything went smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the night without any worries. Our guests were in awe of the beautiful venue, and it truly made for an unforgettable evening. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate a wedding.

Collins Grove met ALL of our expectations and more! Don’t be fooled by the plantation house if it’s “not your vibe”. I thought the same when I initially looked it up but it has SO MUCH MORE to offer! The weekend stay at the beautiful home, the extended bridal suite with a beautiful bathroom and getting ready space, the stunning gardens and foliage, the reception tent setup in the back, dog friendly… they have it all! There is so much room to navigate how you want your wedding to look here, I loved that every area of our wedding felt like it had its own space and feel throughout the day. Kendra is a breeze to work with, great communication, excellent service and a great helping hand the day of! My only “negative” note would be that we had some vendors recommended to us through the venue that I wouldn’t necessarily recommend to a friend. Although, that has nothing to do with the amazing experience we had with the Collins Grove team. We are so appreciative of all they did to help our wedding day/wedding experience an absolute PLEASURE!!

Kendra and Jeremy are the most wonderful owners! They made our wedding at Collins Grove feel personal to us and ensured we had a carefree, wonderful day! I could not recommend this venue more for your special event! The house has an incredible amount of natural sunlight and space to accommodate any event- especially weddings! They are AMAZING- thank you guys so much! Also, this bathroom is just one example of how gorgeous this property truly is!

Not only did Collins Grove provide the most stunning setting for our wedding, but they offered an inviting place to spend the weekend - complete with comfy beds and plenty of linens. To add to this, the owners were honest, accommodating, and passionate about the event experience. From tours and planning meetings to event set-up and breakdown, and even a complimentary time for engagement and bridal photography, Collins Grove exceeded my expectations. I give them my highest recommendation.

If I could bottle up the feeling of our wedding weekend at Collins Grove and keep it forever, I would. I’ve known Kendra and Jeremy as close friends for years, but what they created for us went far beyond friendship—it was a gift of care, excellence, and joy that any couple would be lucky to experience. From the moment we began planning, they treated every detail not just with precision, but with heart. Every part of the venue felt like something out of a Southern love story—from the grand, Notebook-style home that welcomed our guests to the romantic birch dance floor that became the heart of the celebration. But what made it unforgettable wasn’t just how beautiful it looked. It was how loved, supported, and completely at ease we felt throughout the entire process. Kendra and Jeremy have a way of making you feel like you’re the only bride in the world—like your wedding matters as much to them as it does to you. Even if they weren’t my friends, I know in my heart that their level of thoughtfulness, professionalism, and pure joy in what they do would’ve been exactly the same. That’s just who they are. They don’t run a venue—they create an experience. One that is seamless, elegant, and deeply personal. To Kendra and Jeremy: thank you for giving us not just a wedding day, but a weekend that felt sacred. Thank you for pouring your love into Collins Grove, and for using it to bless so many couples the way you’ve blessed us. It was the best day of our lives, and we owe so much of that to you. If you’re a bride looking for the place—stop looking. You’ve found it. This is it. -Kaylee Parker
