From the reviews

If you are looking for the perfect venue, look no further! This gorgeous, historical home is straight out of a magazine and it is right here in the heart of downtown Hattiesburg. I had the pleasure of getting to know the owner, Monica, and one of the day-of coordinators, Misty, while planning our wedding.

★★★★★ — Bailey, Nov 2023

This place was beautiful! My friends got married here recently and the staff were super friendly. The venue itself is beautiful and easy to get to in the heart of downtown. The space was perfect for an outdoor wedding setup. We had cocktail hour, dinner and dancing, and it was all superb!

★★★★★ — Melanie, Nov 2022

Had our wedding here in March 2024 and it was amazing! The staff was so helpful and it was the best day ever. I hardly had to worry about a thing because I knew Monica had everything covered. The venue was beautiful and exactly what I imagined it to be!

Getting married at The Crawford House & Gardens

The Crawford House & Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
