Nestled in the picturesque hills of Alabaster, Alabama, Celadon is more than just a wedding venue; it’s a heartfelt dream brought to life. The idea for Celadon began with a vision to create a space where love could flourish in nature’s beauty. Inspired by the lush landscapes and vibrant colors of the Alabama hills, the owner Garry Cain sought to blend modern elegance with the serene charm of the outdoors.
Recognizing the potential to transform this cherished land into a stunning wedding venue, the owner embarked on a journey to design a space that captures the essence of romance and celebration.
Every detail was thoughtfully crafted, from the breathtaking glass Orangery that invites the outside in to the spacious reception Hall that exudes sophistication. The inclusion of unique treehouse lodging allows couples and their guests to immerse themselves in the tranquil surroundings, making every visit a memorable experience.
Today, Celadon stands as a testament to love, joy, and community—a place where couples can create unforgettable memories against the backdrop of Alabama’s natural beauty. It’s not just a venue; it’s a celebration of life’s most precious moments.
