Wedding Belle

Woodruff-Fontaine House has made weddings a tradition since 1871.  The first wedding was performed inside the formal parlor and guests were entertained inside the ballroom.  The bride was none other than our resident gentle spirit, Mollie Woodruff.  Our wedding venues today include the gardens, front porch, carriage house, and the club rooms under the mansion.   

Recently, Mahaffey Tent and Rentals partnered with Woodruff-Fontaine House to install a satellite showroom inside the carriage house.  Samples from their rental collections will be on display and will be a meeting place to plan weddings and other events.  This has been a long time coming and will, without a doubt,  prove to be a successful partnership.   

Of course, we have brought in a "secret weapon".  Michelle Williams is our premier "go to" coordinator for weddings, special events, and group tours.  She has immeasurable taste and sophistication, not to mention a savvy approach to business.  Michelle assists with many other activities at the mansion and is a welcome face to the staff and volunteers.  If you have a business meeting, luncheon, birthday, or a "dream" wedding that needs a venue don't hesitate to call Woodruff-Fontaine House (526-1469).  The staff will collect your information and deliver it to Michelle and she will set a meeting so that all the details are covered.




There will be more post including Michelle and the fine work she's doing at the museum.  Above is from the Bridal Rhapsody earlier this year.
