We honestly cannot say enough kind words about Superior Sound and DJ Kelvin!! They take the time to meet with you and know what you want. They execute it extremely well!! Since the wedding, we have had so many people tell us how much they loved our DJ and how GOOD he was!! He engages with you and your wedding guests, reads the rooms, does transitions, announcements and MC-ing so so well (I’m so picky about the announcement/MC aspect because sometimes it can feel so awkward and unnatural). But Kelvin crushed it!! I work in the wedding industry, and the value of what you get vs. what you pay is honestly unreal! Finding a vendor who treats you with professionalism while also like a friend/like family is so crucial for you wedding day to be successful. Cannot recommend them enough!!! In fact, we loved them so much that my parents just booked their services with Kelvin for a work event they host every summer!!! We absolutely love them!

I used a Facebook group for Alabama brides to find Shelby with The Southern Planner and I am not exaggerating when I say that Shelby is the most positive feedback I have gotten from my friends and family from our special day. Shelby was on top of EVERYTHING. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing, she had it all taken care of. I would book her a thousand times over again. I now consider Shelby a friend and just need to have another event so I can call her up and have her plan it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Shelby! You helped give us the day of our dreams and we are forever grateful.

Welcome home! Whether its your wedding, reception, shower or banquet — whatever the occasion, you'll find yourself transported to a place of peace and tranquility the moment you step onto our 11-acre property in beautiful Springville, Alabama, a short drive from both Birmingham or Gadsden. The view is breath-taking, the backdrops are plentiful, and the home itself is well-equipped with features that are sure to meet your every need.

  • Allows pets
  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Has a dance floor for celebration

Venue considerations

  • No free parking
  • Does not provide event staff
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
My husband and I were very particular with our wedding venue choice and we could not be happier. As wedding photographers and videographers ourselves, we could not recommend a better option to any couples looking. Not only is the venue itself beautiful and peaceful, but hiring the manager Amanda to coordinate our wedding was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. When we were on the hunt for a venue, our priority was to find a safe space for our wedding party, friends, and family belonging to the LGBTQIA and BIPOC communities. We did not want any person feeling unsafe or singled out on our wedding day. Having this confirmed and reassured that the venue and Amanda were inclusive made everyone’s experience phenomenal. In addition to this, it was difficult finding a place that wasn’t rustic or a barn. Many of the locations that aren’t barns also didn’t fit our vibe or they were unaffordable. For this venue, you get the best of both worlds: an elegant location that also feels like home, all while being affordable with excellent payment plans available. We received so many compliments on this location from so many different people. Whether it was the elderly family members or young friends, everyone was so impressed with the space and amazed by the ballroom for the reception. The layout of the space made it so easy for a seamless day. Amanda provided insight and assistance for everything we needed and our vendors loved her. Our wedding gallery could not be more perfect, because of this space and her hard work. This is now the top venue that we recommend to our couples! We are excited to continue to come back to capture more love stories at Mountain View Gardens and Ballroom and maintain a connection with Amanda for future couples.

Hello there. I'm Deborah Michelle, but you can call me Debby. I’ll be your favorite photographer and personal cheerleader. I'm an Alabama photographer who loves capturing moments that feel genuine, joyful, and timeless. Whether it’s the love between newlyweds, the laughter of family, or the heart of a brand, I’m here to preserve memories that will be cherished for generations to come.

Two words: HIRE HER! Debby is not only a true artist, but also one of the most kind and thoughtful people I have ever met! She is incredibly creative, reliable, communicative, and just an overall joy to work with. Debby has photographed me at many points of my life, from pictures with my pup, to an engagement session, and most recently my wedding, she has always been able to capture my loved ones and I perfectly! During our engagement shoot my husband told me that he was "very nervous about taking pictures and wasn't really looking forward to it" but that "Debby made it so fun and comfortable!" This fun and comfort translated into our wedding pictures. I literally cried when I saw them because she just has this insane ability to capture the most precious moments! She keeps her edits very natural and highlights what makes you, you! I couldn't ask for more in a photographer and couldn't recommend her more!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had my wedding at Belle Farm in November 2026 with 75-80 people. It was beautiful and the perfect day! They were so willing to work with me as I planned even adding additional hours for me and my bridesmaids to get ready! I planned my entire wedding long distance, only getting to physically see the space once before the big day, but communication was smooth and timely, and they had great recommendations for other venders who have worked with them before (venders who already knew the space made it easier because they already knew the drill: where to park and how to set up to maximize the ceremony and reception spaces). Parking was easy for both guests and caterers, the bridal suite had plenty of space even with the many people I had going in and out all day, and the groom’s suite was perfect for the men and provided a space for us to store things during the reception. The ceremony space was beautiful. It looks big, but even with only 75 people, it did not look empty. The reception lodge was perfect; I specifically loved the bar, the mixed chairs, and the twinkling lights they had there. We did our grand entrance coming down the stairs after eating a private meal up in one of the groom’s rooms and that was a lot of fun. All the tables they provided were perfect for each need whether it be food, the cake, presents, welcome decorations, etc. Finally, the entire farm was exactly what I wanted for pictures! There are so many spots with great lighting for all the pictures you could want. And even with all you could want, I love how they are committed to improve, continuously adding more small details. If you’re looking for outdoor, woodsy, romantic vibe without it looking too much like a barn wedding, this is the venue for you! (It’s also super military friendly (meaning discounts ;)) The only maybe problem would be that it is a bit outside of town and in the middle of nowhere, being 45 minutes from Birmingham, but that is to be expected if you want the quiet and open space like I did. But my guests figured out driving from Birmingham where they stayed for the weekend, so it can work!

Awarded Best of Zola
Olivia was so wonderful to work with! From finding her on wedding wire and sending my inquiry, she very quickly responded with availability and was so reliable! She responded to every email in less than a day from start to finish. This particularly stood out to me as many vendors I encountered were slow/non responsive. She arrived on time to the ceremony with her own supplies (small extra cost included in my total) and executed it all perfectly. She had to extend the processional song (I think??) due so slow grandparents walking but it was smooth and flawless. She played for a total of about 50 minutes. 30 minutes leading up to the ceremony, about 10 minutes of the ceremony, and 10 minutes afterwards. I would highly recommend Olivia for all of your event or wedding needs!

Hey y’all, I’m Madyson! I serve the Birmingham area and anywhere beyond. I have always had a passion for photography and capturing timeless images that will be forever cherished. I am a natural light photographer which means you will often find me swooning over dreamy golden hour lighting, or bright, aesthetic scenes.

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Madyson to photograph our wedding because of her beautiful style and comfortable personality. She made everyone involved feel comfortable and respected. She was organized and accommodating and had great communication!

I used this restaurant for my rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding in November 2025 and it was perfect. They had great communication and were willing to let us order from the entire menu when we kept our party below 20 people and chose our appetizers ahead of schedule. The waitresses were so kind and attentive, all the food tasted great, and the space we got to use was sectioned off and private (with a big enough screen to show the Alabama game of course), perfect for a rehearsal dinner! I would highly recommend using the Culinary Dropout for any dinner event.

Hii!!! I am so glad you found me!! A little about me, I am a newlywed, singer songwriter, and professional hair and makeup artist! I absolutely LOVE what I do, to see my brides light up on their special days is the best feeling!! I am always so honored to be a part of someone’s best day and am so blessed this is my Job!

Jorja is the absolute best and the easiest person to naturally get along with and like. She listens and truly wants you to be the happiest and most confident you that you can be on your wedding day. Jorja made everything I wanted a reality, and we didn't even do a trial run of make-up because I could tell she was going to nail it. She brought a positive vibe and contagious energy while we were getting ready, and her team was great too. Love her, and would recommend her to anyone for any event!

I’m Coco Moore, a highly sought out Luxury Makeup Artist at Coco Moore Makeup Artistry & the owner of The Beauty Room 205, located in Birmingham, Al. I started my self taught journey into makeup by doing makeup on one of my closest friends to help her through a rough patch in life, and soon after it became something like therapy to have the outlet that makeup artistry was for me. My warm personality, zest for life & and positive energy is incredibly contagious, and helps me to leave an impression on the lives of every client who sits in my chair.

Coco was such a pleasure to work with! She was on time, professional and her work was beautiful! She made me look and feel flawless. I will be booking her again even after my wedding
