Venue Setting

Built in 1918, The Sonnet House is centered on 18 acres and borders the Little Cahaba Creek & Highway 119. The main house has 3 levels and over 6,000 square feet of space. On the bottom floor you may find details such as: food buffets/stations, cakes, beverages, and guest seating. Also available are separate private suites upstairs for the bridal party, and grooms party to get dressed and ready in. A common room is available on the 2nd floor and is a great place for the wedding party and family to co-mingle in between pictures and before the ceremony. In addition to the main house, we have a 2,100 square foot reception hall. The Reception Hall was built as a back up plan for outdoor weddings, and is great for additional indoor event space. The back of the main house and the entrance to the reception hall share a 1,500 square foot patio, great for outdoor entertaining. In addition to the shared patio, the reception hall offers an additional outdoor space known as the courtyard. The courtyard is a great location for events having a cocktail hour, passed hors d'oeuvres, or even extra seating for your guests.
