The Pool House
The Pool HouseA two-tired fountain and two marble entranceways greet you at the front of the Pool House. The interior resembles a terrarium with tropical plants growing on each end of the tiled pool. Sliding glass doors lead out back to a lush green courtyard, bordered for privacy by a brick wall capped with marble and lined with camellias. The lawn facing the Pool House entrance is one of the most popular wedding sites on the Plantation.

Capacity - 300

Avenue of Magnolias
Avenue of MagnoliasIn what was once the grand entrance to the property, two majestic columns of magnolias lead up to the Veranda at the Main House. A blanket of grass weaves among them before drifting off into the back gardens and marble pond. This site offers an antebellum ambience wonderfully suited for receptions and cocktail parties. The setting becomes even more breathtaking when the bride enters the Avenue of Magnolias and approaches the Veranda by carriage to greet her guests or groom.

Capacity - 500

The Gardens
The GardensThe Sunken Garden is a traditional formal English Garden with its ornamental shrubs and plants arranged in carefully groomed, symmetrical lines. Flower colors progress from white to pink to multi-colored as one nears the North Pasture. Weddings, receptions, and other special gatherings are frequently held here.

The nearby Formal Garden was created by Howard Melville Hanna Sr. to reflect the labyrinth style often found among England's more majestic gardens. Along with the sunken Garden, it provides a lovely setting for a garden tea, an evening cocktail party, or a small wedding reception.

Capacity - 100

The Showboat Theatre
The Showboat TheatreThe theatre is a replica of the stage set from the Broadway musical sharing its name. Out front, an arched walkway spans a sunken pond that guards the entrance. The theatre was constructed with both ground floor and balcony seating. Its barreled ceiling, framed with pecky cypress, was designed for acoustical effect and continues a natural theme found throughout the property. Copper lights hanging from the ceiling are decorated in an anchor and porpoise motif. The movie Gone With the Wind was first shown in the Showboat Theatre to Melville Hanna Sr. and his guests.

Capacity – 100-250
