Spaces Made for Gathering

The Magnolia Inn offers a setting with more character than a single event room.

Guests may gather in the inn’s parlors, dining areas, porch spaces, or other intimate areas depending on the event. The result is a birthday celebration that feels connected to the place, not just the table.

From blowing out candles to gathering for family photos on the porch, The Magnolia Inn offers beautiful spaces for celebrating the moments you’ll want to remember.
