    Cannon Green was EXCEPTIONAL to work with. From the ease of planning and coordination, the efficiency of the staff, and the communication from start to finish -- I would not go in any other direction. NOT ONE bad thing to say about the food and drinks, my guests were thoroughly impressed. The ease of having the entire ceremony/reception in 1 place is unmatched. This is truly your one-stop-shop for your wedding. The greenery offers an incredible ambiance and the clean slate of the venue let's you add your own touch. I would choose CG again and again.

    My husband and I initially chose Cannon Green because of its picturesque courtyard. I knew from the moment I saw photos, it was the place I wanted to get married. However, after diving into all they had to offer, we could not have been happier with the venue. It was the perfect place for our destination wedding particularly because so much was provided - chairs, linens, tableware, food, beverage, etc. Tayla, the event coordinator at Cannon Green was great to work with! She was professional, friendly, and really listened to our vision. She helped to ensure our menu was complete, we had the self-requested bottles of liquor ordered, and everything ran smoothly. On top of the venue because gorgeous, the food was EXCEPTIONAL, comparable to fine dining. All our guests continue to comment on how delicious the passed horderves were, the meal, and even the late night snacks! 10/10 recommend using Cannon Green for a wedding! Not a bad thing to say!

    I cannot put into words how wonderful Cannon Green is. My wedding there was absolutely gorgeous! This venue is so well run, they really have their stuff together. Everything went so smoothly. Service is excellent. Meg is wonderful to work with. The food is divine! Both the dry-aged strip loin and the salmon were delicious. I cannot recommend Cannon Green enough! Truly the best day of our lives!
