Weddings have one thing in common with real estate. It’s all about location, location, location.
And when it comes to the perfect spot to tie the knot, we “vow” you won’t find a better place to say “I Do.”
Indoors, outdoors, traditional, classic, modern, trendy- whatever vibe you’re going for on your big day, you’ll find the perfect setting here to launch your happily ever after.
A Church Wedding
If your perfect wedding has you walking down the aisle of a church, LaGrange’s First Baptist Church on the Square is so picturesque, it looks like it’s straight out of central casting for a Hallmark movie! First Baptist’s soaring white steeple, stone steps and beautiful architectural details like white columns and ornate wrought iron railings make it the perfect backdrop for wedding photos you’ll cherish for a lifetime. And its central location right on LaGrange’s famed square gives you limitless quaint backdrops, including the much-photographed fountain at the center of the square.
The church itself is one of the oldest in LaGrange, with a rich history that you will forever be a part of thanks to your special day.
LaGrange College Chapel
Looking for something a little more intimate? Then LaGrange College Chapel packs a lot of beauty and history into a much smaller package. Situated on the historic LaGrange College Campus, the small chapel includes stones from both the Temple of Apollo at Corinth and Saint George’s Chapel in Windsor. And while the chapel itself will offer you stunning backdrops for your wedding photos, its location on the college’s picturesque campus creates nearly unlimited photo opportunities complete with stunning architecture, artful landscaping, and the perfect vantage point for gorgeous views of LaGrange.
The Reception

You can even hold your wedding ceremony in this beautiful space, seating up to 300. Another reception option is Del’avant’s rooftop garden. The 2,900 square foot space has room for up to 175 guests and is surrounded by lush greenery, large trees, and a tranquil water feature. For an evening wedding, this space offers the perfect romantic spot for star gazing as guests toast your happily ever after. Or go grand with the Kress Ballroom.
