The late-afternoon light settles softly across the fields. Inside, chandeliers glow against whitewashed brick, polished floors reflect the movement of loved ones, and the covered patio offers a comfortable place to gather when the Alabama air turns warm or the weather changes its mind.
That is the feeling we hope every guest experiences at Lemon Ridge Events: a celebration that feels beautiful, personal, and wonderfully uncomplicated.

“We got married here and it was amazing! Candace is very flexible and willing to help out in anyway she can. The price was well priced for what we got and well worth it! She had plenty of chairs and tables for our 150 guests that showed up. Our original plan was to have the ceremony outside in the field in front of the cross. The weather did not allow for that to happen so we moved it under the patio on the back of the building and it still ended up being such a beautiful ceremony with plenty of room for that extra seating… This venue had many different options for setup which allowed us to change our plans easily last minute with the weather.”
: Jonah Ross, groom, 150 guests
“We rented Lemon Ridge for my son’s wedding, and from the very beginning, the owner, Candace Lemmons, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She helped me find both a decorator and a florist, and every question I had was answered promptly. Candace went above and beyond to make my son’s special day perfect, and she was truly a pleasure throughout the entire process. The venue itself is beautiful and offers multiple options for hosting the ceremony, which made it even more special.”
: Amanda Mickle, mother of the groom
“The place was beautiful and we had a lot of room! Ms. Candace was so sweet and super helpful with anything we needed. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience! The place was so pretty with the brick wall and the chandeliers! We got so many compliments!”
: Cheryl Burgess
