Victoria Belle Events — Local services in Hogansville

Words cannot describe our love for and appreciate for Vickie, her staff and their dedication to bringing our wedding day together. As the saying goes, it was love at first sight. In our initial investigation of wedding venues, hands down, Victoria Belle and Mansion stood out. And it wasn't just the elegant mansion, or the picturesque campus. It was the fervor and passion projected from Vickie, literally the moment we were greeted by her signature smile. Vickie is fluent in Wedding Planning and has a PhD for evaluating the consequences of every decision that we made. Most importantly, she never imposed her own vision and she always guided us in providing insight.

From our initial visit to the day of our wedding, Vickie was steadfast in bringing our theme and vision to real life, and she never strayed from that. Her dedication to getting to know us first, really set her apart from other venues. Every meeting, every conversation, she was a champion for our story and our love. One piece that made us incredibly nervous was the fact that we would be planning our wedding from across the country. We moved to the Pacific Northwest 9 months prior to our wedding day, in the heart of making some major decisions. But Vickie's experience with couples outside of the city proved to be invaluable as she ushered us along the way and kept us right on schedule. Vickie put an incredible amount of time and energy in accommodating our cross country schedule, while giving us the tools we needed to successfully execute our Todo list in between visits. Having someone who is well-versed in long distance planning put us both at ease.

Another aspect that made our experience run so smoothly were the vendors. We chose Victoria Belle's Platinum package which included all of the vendors we needed for our day. Every vendor we used was like an extension of Vickie; professional, creative and dedicated to our vision. We were so pleased with the way we could talk about our overall vision and loved their patience and diligence in executing that vision to perfection.

The campus of Victoria Belle White Barn and Mansion is something pictures just don't do justice. The multifaceted venue which combines the elegant, the rustic and the picturesque into one amazing place for guests to enjoy. The campus offers more than just a place to party, to be wed and to eat. It's landscape and robust greenery also provides a multitude of space for the most picturesque wedding photos. The attention to detail in making every corner of the venue feel like a special place gave us the confidence that our guests would absolutely enjoy the venue

All in all, we couldn't have been happier with our decision to have our wedding at Victoria Belle White Barn and Mansion, and we were honored and privileged to have someone who is hands down the best wedding planner out there to guide us through our wedding...

Overall I loved my wedding day. However, if I had to plan my wedding all over again, I would NOT have chosen this location. At first glance, I loved all the different scenery: the mansion, the barn, the vineyard, the porch & bar area. Unfortunately, this worked against the wedding: people were all over the place, so whenever the DJ came up for special moments like first dance, cake cutting, etc., not everyone was around, so I had to keep collecting everyone together. Also the location is middle of nowhere. All our guests traveling via plane, stayed at the Marriott by ATL airport. We had to pay for a bus for traveling guests from hotel to venue and back. Lastly, the wedding planner/ owner Vickie made us come up for a monthly meeting but never read her notes. I paid for blue hydrangeas, but while walking down the aisle, they were white hydrangeas. She noted that we should have the ferns in the gazebo placed in the back since that’s where our first dance would be. I agreed and she took note of that. They weren’t ever moved to the back so our crowd and photographer never got good shots of us for our first dance. They couldn’t see us. The food tasting she caters was amazing. The food at the wedding that we tasted was not the same and half as good. Don’t order the green beans. After every meeting, she brought up new things we needed to buy for our wedding, but day of, she never implemented how they would be dispersed. For example, she said we should buy something for guests to waive as we went to our drive-away vehicle, so we did. But she or no one helped disperse them, so I had to last minute at my wedding. She is not a wedding planner or organizer. That day was so much more stressful because of her. She charged us an after fee for wine which I know isn’t true because the guests said they ran out of beer at one point, not wine ever. If I could have rented the venue without Vickie that day, it may have gone way better. But she was strict, inconsistent, not true to her word or notes, and made it a bigger headache. I got married in May 2022 and waited a few years to make my review to let the instant bias wear off. This is still how I feel two years later. Gorgeous venue, awful party planner/ owner/...

As the father of the bride, I really had no idea what to expect so I was ‘HOPING’ our highly anticipated wedding would turn out to be the most perfect and special event. IT DID turn out to be just that, PERFECT and an amazing special wedding - thanks to Vickie and her amazing team! I really can’t say enough about the attention to EVERY detail. The team at Victoria Belle Mansion’s is excellent at planning and management of a very important event, an event that will bring together so many family and friends, so it has to be perfect. IT WAS. From day 1, Vickie and her professional team were driven to see that my daughter would have a very special event. The detailed check list, to the amazing venue, to the high quality vendors, to all the many recommendations, it was so well planned and managed, a tribute to the dedication and attention to detail that is so obvious at The Victoria Bell Mansion. If you are looking for that very special place, where the team really loves what they get to do every day, then VBM is your place. We experienced no surprises, no issues that questioned any of our many decisions, the event was so smooth, allowing my wife and I to really enjoy this major event. Instead of Mom and Dad in panic mode, we were instead entertaining guest, helping the wedding parties, and savoring all that VBM has to offer. We had 150 guests, 50 from out of town so we provided transportation to and from VBM to the local hotels. We had a few guests stay just up the street at local B&B, the loved it. And adding the level of anticipaton / expectation, this was wedding the second wedding for our family, this year. Both our son and daughter we married this year, son first and then daughter. So, this was the 2nd time we had all of our family together, only 5 months apart - talk about raising the bar (pun intended). Victoria Belle Mansion is a five-star facility with a five-star team, so you can expect five-star results. Vickie, thank you again for an absolutely wonderful and amazing wedding, and thank you for your dedication to making the bride and groom so happy. In my book, it was a...
