We fell in love with 10 South when we attended a wedding a few months before getting engaged. When we went to tour, it was truly love at first sight and we booked our wedding day, that very moment. The exposed brick throughout the venue and the bride and groom suites are what really sold us! The size is also perfect, whether it’s a smaller guest count or large! They made the touring experience so special, we each got to pick one drink from their specialty cocktails. And it was very personable. We ended up booking one of the coordinator packages, which got us a couple meetings and had the same experience during those as well. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and would recommend vendors that we were still needing. We worked with Megan and she made the whole process so easy! Communication was great and emails were always responded to in a very timely manner. Our wedding day went so smoothly, even with the power going out (power outage in the area) 20ish minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle. Luckily it was back up and running just seconds before it was go time, so no delays! I should add, with the coordinator package, the staff set up and took down all of our decorations for us, which was a huge stress reliever. Megan and the staff brought my vision to life! I can’t recommend 10 South enough!

Janelle and the team at Story Hill Firehouse was a pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning process. Their communication was prompt, open, and receptive, which made us feel at ease and well-cared for. The venue itself had a cozy, cohesive feel. It was perfect for our wedding of 85 people.
