We tried a few different flights of wine and flat breads and enjoyed the beautiful view of the vineyard. The place is truly breathtaking, and at the time, they had live music playing outside. Jenna made some very good recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. ::Caution:: I still gave this place 5 stars because this has nothing to do with the service or the quality of the food or location, but we were picturing a nice, calm brunch, sipping on wine, not a Chuck E Cheese experience. Apparently, we were upgraded to the deluxe Chuck E Cheese package and were seated around lots of parents who decided to bring their young kids to a vineyard. The kids were running wild around tables and crying and screaming. Not one parent corrected their kids' behavior and just let them run around like free-range chickens. There were also people complaining that there were no non alcoholic drinks that they wanted at a vineyard. When I went inside there seemed to be no kids indoors. While another group could not control their kids and kept knocking things off the table, including glasses of wine. No one seemed to mind outdoors because most of the people had young kids, so be warned that this may be a possibility, so research your days before you go. Overall, if you remove the kids running wild and crying, the service was fantastic, the wine was good, lots of parking, the ambiance was incredible, and the food was good.

The location is a bit off the road yet there are great signs to help you go the right way and a giant dirt parking lot. Be prepared to walk as there are some rocks and stairs to climb up before reaching the destination. Tea times are served under a wooden pergola with twinkle lights. Table setting a have fresh centerpieces from the garden and each person gets to choose their teacup and saucer upon entry. The food is served in a tiered plate setting and there are options to modify if you have anyone with allergies in your group. Typically there are 2-3 rotating teas that are served and there is plenty of room to move around and mingle if you choose. The service is gentle, kind and accommodating. I adore the small business setting Panola offers and I'm even considering doing my wedding here (early planning stages). I look forward to more visits! Thank you!

Lovely small room for the ceremony (we were at a wedding). The whole building has great design…read moreelements. Very groovy stairs in the center of the room, nice angles and attention to detail were all on point. The large hall is gorgeous, and a truly enviable wedding reception locale. The crumblesome stone walls offset the highly modern feel of the rest of the plaza. The three, rustic, arched, little niches at the one side kept the word "oubliette" pacing 'round my head all night. The upstairs bathrooms, by the bar, are WAY NICER than the rather decrepit ones by the reception hall... truly the only strong disappointment of the night. The fact that we were able to take the skywalk from our hotel was the cherry on the whipped cream on the chocolate sauce on the ice cream. Not that the wedding served ice cream. That would've been SWEET!

We have been to two weddings at the Lowertown Event Center and disappointed both times…read more The first time was for the ceremony and reception. There is a lot of noise in the ceremony room from above due to foot traffic in the old building and a popular restaurant being above the ceremony room. The reception area is very attractive and looks beautiful especially with uplighting. The staff needs a lot of work...weddings should be fun and personable but the staff is often times in fact rude nor do they have respect for the minor details as shown in the example of the men's room in the picture I posted.

I was stressed trying to get the last things done on the day of, and she was amazing and came in and helped me finish setting things up and helped organize people. She was willing to meet with us before, if I had any questions and was very responsive on emails. We found them on the Knot and WeddingWire and we actually just live up the street from the venue so we knew what it would look like inside. It's such a beautiful setting you hardly have to decorate it all. We obviously brought in some of our own touches, though. They have chair covers and other decorations that you can rent. Duke was the chef and did a great job. Food is obviously a little different on the day of with how much they have to make versus the tasting day, but we received positive comments from all of our guests. We actually rented some of the hotel rooms upstairs too, which anyone who stayed there was super excited about. It's nice to just be able to go right upstairs and not have to transfer to a hotel. The rooms are very unique and were fun to stay in. Serving staff and bartenders were on top of everything! I don't think I can say this enough...Karna is AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!!!! I hope someone else I know gets married there so I can go back to experience it from the guests side too :-)

I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day because she took care of everything. She knew the venue really well and made great recommendations.

I have not met someone who is more understanding, professional, diligent, and calming. We had a large wedding of over 300 people and they all fit wonderfully. We were able to utilize the gorgeous outdoor garden for our wedding ceremony as well as our social hour. I was worried when I looked at the outdoor space, that not all 300+ guests would fit, or that it would be crammed and uncomfortable. However, it exceeded our expectations! The flowers were beautiful, the white gazebo was so pretty against the dark green grass, and bright flowers. The outdoor area, was really beautiful and fit our summer garden themed wedding. We were able to have an outdoor bar in the garden for guests to use and mingle as they walked around and enjoyed the summer evening. With 300+ people, space was very important for us. We needed an space that would fit that many people, but also allow enough room for guests to move around. The last thing we wanted was for them to be crammed in and tripping over chairs to get a drink. The ballroom accommodated them beautifully. The dance floor is HUGEE!!! Something like 2,000 sq feet! But believe me, our guests used it! The dance floor was always filled with people young and old. It was nice to have enough room for everyone to dance around. No one stepping on others feet. Another important aspect to us, was the bars! Of course! We really did not want people to be waiting in long lines to get a beverage. Withrow has two bars, and both were fully staffed, and were able to serve our guests quickly and efficiently. Another great thing about Withrow is that it fits with almost every theme. We chose a summer-garden theme, with a flare. We did Blinged out vases, with LED lights inside, and hydrangeas. We had rose petal and diamond scatter, with black table clothes and white chair covers! It looked fabulous! I also saw pictures of other weddings with many different themes. One with a simple fall centerpiece, another glammed out. The Ballroom can adapt to any theme and blends in perfect to any decor. Overall, Withrow was the perfect venue for us, nothing too fancy or upitty, just a genuinely UNIQUE and historical venue. The best part is that ALL of our guests had a great time, and felt at home. I still don't think I have seen a wedding with more people on the dance floor with smiles on their faces. Any time multiple guests describe your wedding as "Magical" you know you did something right! Thanks Pam for all your help!

Absolutely lovely venue for a sweet country style or shabby chic wedding! They had a gorgeous barn decked out with chandeliers and comfortable seating. Lots of extra little modern touches of chalkboards that they had beautiful writing on them for the wedding. The outdoor seating for the actually wedding had nice solid planted benches- not teetering- which is alway my odd fear when having to opt for bench seating. It was a beautiful set up. They had some funky fun pieces too. A giant rooster and the standing tables outside had some fun or nice quotes on them. The quirky, wordie gal in me loves the fun random find of what was written in the tables. They even had a posh 3 bathroom, air conditioning outdoor potty rooms. Both for men and women (no, I resisted checking out the men's but I was dang curious if it was as nice as the ladies side). They also had ample parking, which is always a big appreciation for a city chic like me. My only complaint...it was hella hot in that barn!! For an 80 plus degree day, I would say they are not set up as well as they could be for moving that hot air. Should I EVER decide to marry again, I would totally consider this venue...in a cooler month.

Built in 1909, it has a certain elegance about it. It is a perfect venue for a small, maybe 30 to 50 people tops, event. Very easy to find, a prestigious location, and lovely grounds. Except for the owner, the staff is like high school kids. A tad on the unprofessional side. I mean, like coming up to my table carrying a bustub and removing plates directly into the tub. Ick. Like a Dennys or something. The food was marginal, I will not accept instant mashed potatoes at my wedding if I ever get married again. Pork was ok, salad was a little wilted. S & P was not on each table, lame. Not much of a choice on the buffet, but I am sure that was due to the choice of the bride and groom. B O T T O M L I N E ..... O K A Y
