Your Wedding at The House at Gatewood

We offer a beautifully renovated historic space nestled within 16 acres of picturesque landscape with a large pond.

The nostalgic character and natural property features have been preserved in the renovation of the Gatewood main estate house, so every room gives a unique Southern experience.

Have Owner and Executive Chef Ron Spada create a customizable, seasonal, and innovative handcrafted menu - an experience infused by warm Southern hospitality where old meets new. Contact us for menu pricing based on the number of guests.

Outdoor ceremony with drinks/apps and dinner inside. Several fireplaces, a cozy dining room, and a full bar. The staff were all terrific, and we all had a blast. Also, the food was fantastic!"
