Starrsville Plantation

I attended a wedding at Starsville in March. I found the plantation to be really pretty --- the entrance is pecan trees lining a 1/2 mile long driveway. The plantation house was smaller than I thought it might be, but was adorable and well kept. The large oak trees around the house provided alot of shade and oozed southern charm. The plantation house this particular day was used for the bridal party to get dressed and take pictures. The staircase is a great focal point in the home. The large windows and antique furniture made perfect backgrounds for photographs. The wedding I attended had the reception in a large barn. The barn was adorned with lots of wrought iron and hanging lanterns with candles. The weather had turned cool, so large heaters were brought in and made everyone warm and cozy. The sound and lighting people did a fantastic job of lighting the place with uplights of many colors; creating mood lighting and adding lighting for photos. The sound system provided to be loud and the guests had a great time dancing and celebrating after the ceremony. The event was catered and the menu was delicious. We were served prime rib, hot baked potatoes, salads, sodas, and other cold beverages. Our plates were square, white, glass plates, and real silverware wrapped in real linen napkins. The wait staff cleared our dishes quickly and filled our glasses until everyone was content. The rest rooms were rental units that looked like portable home restrooms - we had running water, and the toilets were fine. ( we were in a barn ..... ) -- great job by all and congrats to the bride and groom. As in any event, it takes a lot of planning. This one was well thought out, planned to a "t" -- we had a great time on gorgeous grounds. The bridal party enjoyed themselves and we did too ! Great night Britt and Brian !
