Private Events
Host the Perfect Private Event Without the Fuss.
Could this be some kind of magic? What are the odds that just about everything would fall into place on the day of your event? When it’s Southern Exposure tending to every last detail, the chances are excellent.
From the moment you decide to hold your wedding, wedding reception, baby shower or corporate event with us, you’ll be amazed by how hands-on we genuinely are. As our Owners and Event Coordinator step in to work behind the scenes closely with you, we’ll discuss all the elements you’d like to bring to life (and some you may not have even considered). The right room. The right menu. The right photographer. The right florist.
That’s right – you don’t need to search all over to find the very best resources to support your needs. Southern Exposure has them all covered right here.
So while your guests are captivated by our stunning natural surroundings of beautifully kept gardens and flowers, our staff will be orchestrating an event that is distinctly and unmistakably yours.
Private event planning is more than choosing an ideal location. Make sure you’re selecting an ideal team that’s thought of everything too. Southern Exposure is the best of both, without the fuss.
