Increasingly I seem to be the go-to-person for friends and family when a photographer is needed for…read morean event. To be honest, it's very nerve racking because I am not a professional photographer. I'm just a dad who has a really nice camera because I got tired of getting fuzzy photo's while on vacation with my wife and children. Even though I can't see myself doing this for a living, I'm always honored when people I know trust me with such an important day. My friends got married here last weekend and out of the 4 weddings I've been asked to be the lead photographer, this place has to be my favorite location. Quaint is defined as having an old-fashioned attractiveness or charm; oddly picturesque. Thompson House and Gardens is the quintessential poster child for the word quaint. From a photographer's standpoint, they offer beautifully manicured lawns with a variety of venues scattered around the grounds for prime photo opportunities. Sweeping lawns, fountains, Roman gazebo and even an old west saloon make for fun photos. Also, the house has a wraparound porch and the rear is equipped with a long rustic outdoor bar, barn-like shed, adorable mini-guest house and vine covered trellis walkway. The outdoor setting for a lawn wedding is as romantic as I've ever seen and the reception hall is picture perfect for both dining and dancing. The wedding party used the upper part of the home for pre-wedding preparations and privacy. Since the event was catered, there was no need for the kitchen, but there is one available. THE VERDICT It is absolutely beautiful here! Every guest I spoke with was in complete awe of this place, including myself. My wife and I have been considering renewing our vows for our 15th Anniversary next year and Thompson House & Gardens is going to be tops on my list. If you are looking for an excellent venue for your wedding, I highly recommend you consider hosting it here.

My daughter was married here today!…read more She is not my biological daughter, or even a daughter by marriage or adoption. I met her when she was only 18 months old, back when my wife and I volunteered together in the youth classrooms at church. She was a shy little miss, but seemed extremely comfortable with me and my wife. She would sit with me nearly the entire service, from the time her mother dropped her off to the time she'd return to pick her up, sometimes not wanting to leave us. One day our pastor asked the men of the church to voluntarily provide childcare for the single mothers during a special Saturday conference just for them. Without hesitation I asked her mother to leave her in my care. That lead to other times where my wife and I would keep her for an entire weekend so her mother could run errands and have some 'me' time to herself. Soon month passed, then years as she joined us on vacations, cook-outs, holiday dinners and any family event, because she was family. If you have paid attention, she is in many of my yelp photo's. At some point she began to call ME dad, and my sons her brothers. So it was truly an honor when she asked me to walk her down the aisle today, 22 years after we first met. [ THE VENUE ] Located on the property of a 118-year-old cotton mill where raw cotton was spun into fabric for over a century, the venues encompass three old cotton warehouses. There are two Event Halls: The Kennedy and The Jackson, both of which come with the use of a bridal suite and groom's room on the day of the event. Each venue can accommodate up to 250 people with a dance floor, and 300 without and includes 72" round tables & black padded chiavari chairs. The space itself has beautiful whitewashed exposed brick, wood ceilings, stained concrete floors and cute touches throughout such as a vintage looking piano, rope lighting, antiqued furniture, chandeliers, see-thru cream-colored drapes, greenery, outdoor patio and high-top tables. [ THE EXPERIENCE ] Pre-wedding activities included pics all around the grounds of this historic warehouse. Many areas were once covered warehouse rooms, but are now just brick shells of the past. Great for an industrial urban backdrop! The wedding was held in the Jackson Room, where one half of the room is used for the ceremony while the other half holds circular tables to be used for the reception afterwards. After the ceremony was over, guests were invited outside for appetizers under the covered canopy that was once the loading dock for the cotton mill. It was perfect for a beautiful sunny day, but not sure how well this would work during a Georgia thunderstorm. This gave the Venue team time to reset the room for the reception and put all the tables in place. My daughter's wedding included 150 guests, and that left ample elbow room for all in attendance. Those brides looking for a more simplistic wedding venue loaded with historic charm will find The Cotton Mill Event Venue delightful. [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] I share reviews revealing personal parts of my life in hopes my transparency can be a lesson for someone facing a similar situation. Simply put, when you see the opportunity to be a positive influence in someone's life... DO IT!!! I know it can be scary. Self-doubt and thoughts of inadequateness can overrun your mind. If I'm being honest, 20 something years ago I was not immediately open to the idea of being a father figure to children outside of my biological's. I feared not being good enough, but faith is not in knowing the endgame. Faith is believing the endgame will turn out well, despite our personal handicaps. It was a slow process for me, one I wish I would have embraced quicker, more eagerly and done better at fulfilling. Still, I'm so glad I took a leap anyway. I didn't know it would be one of the great joys of my life to have known this little miss, whom today became a Missus. She, and her new husband are two of thee best products of this generation and I am thankful to have been a part of her life's journey and now his. You should have heard their vows. They brought everyone to tears with their heartfelt dedication to one another and God. Thank you Cotton Mill! You don't know it yet, but the event you hosted today was for a young couple destined to leave a glorious mark on the world... just you wait and see. 2019/70

After arriving at…read morethe first hole, we were encountered by an employee or a manager(I do not know which) that scolded us for both of us not each having a set of club. I should not be expected to buy a set of clubs for a first experience. He continued by demanding that we play fast to not slow down the more experienced golfers. This was just one example of how we were treated poorly for my lack of experience. As a first experience golfing, I will say that I never will return to a place that treated me so poorly and I do not understand the appeal of a sport that treats beginners so badly.
