“This venue is beautiful and accommodating. Up to 20 guests can stay at the venue. We booked it for 2 nights. We had our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at GRIR the night before our wedding and stayed overnight again after the wedding. We had the most beautiful 360 degree sunsets both nights. The weather was perfect. We were allowed to have our dogs in our ceremony. Everything worked out great. Mike the owner did a fantastic job with vendor suggestions. He’s very professional and helpful.”

“The Blessings Place is truly a beautiful and special space. The oak trees draped with Spanish moss, the peaceful pond, and the natural surroundings create a calm, uplifting atmosphere that feels very intentional. It doesn’t feel like a typical event venue — it feels peaceful, meaningful, and set apart. I haven’t personally hosted an event here yet, but I know several people who have hosted weddings and events, and every one of them shared how wonderful their experience was. They spoke about how much they enjoyed the space and how they left the day feeling grateful, peaceful, and truly blessed. I also want to share that I know Jim and Rosa personally, and they genuinely care for others. They are very welcoming, kind, and lead their family and this place with strong, God-centered values. It’s clear this venue is more than a business to them — it’s a blessing to others. I’m really looking forward to hosting an event here in the future and would highly recommend The Blessings Place to anyone seeking a beautiful, faith-centered venue.”
