Weddings at Southern Granary
Photography by Amative Creative
At Southern Granary, we offer a one-of-a-kind blend of industrial-rustic charm in a location that's as convenient as it is secluded. Just off Main Street in Altavista, you'd never guess you're moments from town when you arrive on our 30 acres of meadows, trees, and riverfront—a setting that feels like a peaceful countryside escape. We customize our pricing to fit the size of your event and your unique selections, making sure your experience is as personal as it is memorable. And don’t forget our stunning, handcrafted 16-foot farmhouse tables—guests always love them!
Refined industrial style, affordable pricing, and endless possibilities.
