The Thaxton was an amazing venue for our wedding. They were quick to respond to all of our questions and requests, which made the planning process so much easier. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful - the unique space provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. Our guests were blown away by the elegant decor and thoughtful touches throughout the venue. We are so grateful to the Thaxton team for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Such a wonderful location for our wedding! We really wanted a historical venue with a moody and romantic feel, and the Thaxton was perfect! The lighting, the art, the beautiful architectural details were exactly what we were looking for. On top of that the staff at the venue was amazing. Kim was wonderful and easy to work with from day 1. Day of Mad Dog and DJ Uptown made the event incredibly memorable for our guest! The bartending staff was amazing and accommodating. And Kim and Tavon made the day flow smoothly and made us feel like VIPs. Everything from their list of recommended vendors to the day of coordination of the event was easy and our guests love the venue and had an amazing time!
