Raven and her team made my wedding day run seamlessly! I hired Raven for her month of coordinating. She is very professional, but still shows you her great personality when working with her. She listened to exactly what my husband and I wanted and gave her expertise and suggestions where needed. She always responded to emails and text efficiently. She completely took over all responsibilities a month before my wedding. As a very organized, involved and hands on bride, I felt confident handing everything over and trusting her with the remainder of the process after meeting with her. She worked well with all of my vendors and communicated with them in a timely manner. I did not know about any of the small hiccups that occurred on my wedding day with vendors. Everything was on schedule (which was very important to me). Her team, Kayla, Ashley, and Gabrielle were awesome! They made sure my family and I were taken care of and comfortable the entire day and evening! If I could go back, I would have hired Raven as a full wedding coordinator!!

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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • 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.

Samantha is by far the best photographer I've ever worked with. She's extremely professional but also very personable. We're freshly married so we haven't gotten wedding pictures back yet but we did a photo shoot the week leading up to the wedding and she surprised us by editing them all before our wedding day. We live in a different state but I seriously would travel to her just so we can get more pictures done by her. As for the wedding day, she was super organized and made everything extremely easy for me. I have no notes, she was absolutely perfect!

We’ve worked with Connor on two different shoots, and had an incredible experience for both. The first was when my (now) husband proposed, he hired Connor to take pictures of his surprise proposal and they made for the best memories. She was so helpful guiding us in different poses and also catching a bunch of fun candid photos. The second was for a boudoir photoshoot, which was some of the most fun I’ve had! She was so easy to work with and made for a relaxing and fun session. She always has great ideas for poses and is open to trying anything you’re looking to recreate. Cannot recommend Connor enough, she is a joy to work with and her work makes for incredible lifelong memories.

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!

Ahlea was so flexible, open to our ideas & completely on board! She had the great idea of having me make a Pinterest board of inspo pictures & after seeing my own pictures, I could tell Ahlea really took on board what I wanted & envisioned. The day of she was on-time, ran around downtown Annapolis with us, she came with ideas of picturesque places & poses. We received our sneak-peak like 2 days later which was so exciting to not have to wait & then we received the rest on time. And we were OBSESSED.

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!

I started out in the industry offering wedding films and have expanded to offer both photography and video coverage to all my couples looking to find ways to capture as many of the memories they will want to cherish forever! My favorite part about weddings is being able to present the final images and videos to my couples and knowing that the memories captured on their wedding day will always be cherished for many years to come!

We are so grateful to have had Matt video and photograph three of our major life events! He gave us the video of our dreams for our wedding day, captured the celebration of my husband’s graduation, and gave us the most memorable maternity photos! Matt has excellent taste, is very sharp, extraordinarily organized, and provides quality photos and videos. Each session is light hearted and memorable. I trust Matt during our important life events and you should too!

Hey my name is Taylor Pickle. I’m a photographer based in Birmingham Al. I’ve been doing photography for 2 years. I would love to take your wedding pictures and capture your memories! I would love to be apart of your special day! 🤍

Taylor was called in at the very last minute when our wedding photographer woke up sick the morning of. She did a fantastic job and not once did I see her stressed! We have quite a few kids and she captured them all beautifully. The photos of our ceremony and reception were stunning as well and really captured the day well. Both the indoor and outdoor pictures were beautiful. Nothing was edited in an unnatural or unflattering way, and I enjoyed the mix of grayscale and color images she provided us. Absolutely recommend her!

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.

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.

We are Sarah & Logan Huffstutler. We believe in living life to the fullest, soaking in the memories, and choosing happiness always. Our wedding day was the most important of our lives, and we experience the product of that joy in each new day. Now, it's your turn. This is your moment! The time in which you are creating a new family and a bond that is knit together by love. Since that day, we have enjoyed building our lives together. Growing our business for the benefit of our family is our joy. Helping couples love their wedding day, and businesses represent their brand through their photographs is our passion and greatest honor.

I'd highly recommend Sara and Logan! We've worked with countless photographers over the last 30 years and the Huffstutlers are some of our very favorites. When meeting with our brides the Huffstutlers are the ones we recommend first! They are very professional, attentive to detail and easy to work with. Sara especially has a great eye for staging and her editing is light and beautiful! Their skill, combined with their easy-going, friendly personalities, make them an easy choice.
