Top 10 Wedding Venues in Birmingham AL

I have made a list of some of the Top 10 Wedding Venues in Birmingham, AL area. These venues are all different, and each have their unique qualities that set them apart! The Birmingham area has hundreds of venues, so it can get overwhelming when trying to decide on which one to go with. This list is made up of venues that I have personally worked with, so that you can hear personal experience and have first hand knowledge of what the venues are like. This list is in no particular order as all of these venues are fantastic yet so different, so it would be impossible for me to rank them.

 

1.   Windgate Farms

 

This venue is close to home for me. Windgate Farms is located in Jasper, AL, which is where I currently live! This little piece of Heaven has the most AMAZING views! Windgate Farms is has a beautiful bridal suite, and a cozy cabin for the guys to get ready in, so you’re covered for all your getting ready needs. This venue has pretty horses that are roaming around all day, and they even come up to the fence. There is a long driveway lined with beautiful trees and a white fence that makes for some gorgeous pictures. Windgate Farms is secluded, and has just about anything you could want, but the real sell for me is the view! I never get tired of it! The sun sets perfectly over the ceremony site, and it always has the most beautiful evening glow. Even though Windgate Farms is outside of Birmingham over in Walker County, it’s worth every bit of the 40 minute drive!
