The SouthWood House & Cottages

The SouthWood House & Cottages Elegant historical appearance, The SouthWood House is a venue that will be a great will be a great showcase to any special event or wedding! George T. Ward.

Ward inherited
t h e l a n d now known a s
SouthWood from his father,
George W. He married
Sarah Jane Chaires, daughter
o f B e n j a m i n C h a i r e s , a
wealthy farmer, banker and
land baron. She inherited
properties from her father that
were later incorporated into the
SouthWood land. T h e o r i g i n a l h o u s e a t
SouthWood burned down prior
to 1880; however, some of the
bricks in the

original house
remained intact and are now in
use in the foundation of the
present SouthWood house. The
present house was built about
1865 on the Northeast corner of
Adams and Pensacola streets in
downtown Tallahassee. M a t t i e Ward H e n d e r s o n
inherited the land from her parents
Sarah Jane and George T. In
1939, Mattie’s grandson, George
Henderson, moved the family
home from downtown Tallahassee
to the foundation of the original SouthWood house. Henderson took care to mark every piece of
wood in each room during the
disassembly and moving process
so that the wood was precisely
replaced in the present house. The
six Ionic columns you see in the
present house were added after
the house was moved to its current
location. Maintained and preserved the Southwood House continues to
be the premier event location in Tallahassee. Available for event rental, visit us at www.southwoodgolf.com

One word... magical! That's how I would explain Sloan & Dylan's wedding day. Thank you Terri Smith Photography for capturing these stunning details. This day could not have happened without the talented vendors of Woodland Fields Photography, Missy Gunnels Flowers, Terri Smith Details, INTENTS Party Rental, Overthemoon, Southwood Golf Club, The Cake Shop Bakery, and most importantly the bride's mother.

Miss Suzanne and the team of Over the Moon knocked it out of the ballpark with the design and presentation for Miss Suzanne's daughter's wedding this past Saturday! Thank you to the pro photogs Woodland Fields for letting capture some images of our rentals.

Happy two month anniversary Jamie & Zach!!

Happy one month anniversary Rachel & Devon! Thank you to all the vendors who made this day extra special. Beautiful flower arrangements by the talented Missy Gunnels Flowers! Delicious cake from the The Cake Shop Bakery. Rental items from Party Party Party Event Rentals and Terri Smith Details. Always a pleasure working with DJ Jake and Alex with Amplify Entertainment. The delicious meal was provided by my fabulous crew at Southwood Golf Club. Other services used from Southwood included our stunning white ceremony doors, parking attendants, chair relocation services, and bartending. Additional lighting provided by Ultimate Sound and Light, Inc. I'm dying to see the photos from Black & Hue Photography and video from Kemari Lyn Films!
