Fran Hanson Center's Upper and Lower Lawns

These beautifully manicured lawns are wonderful for couples who want to hold ceremonies and receptions in one location, or for those that want to host larger garden parties. The 1998 Southern Living Showcase Home, The Wren House (now known as the Fran Hanson Discovery Center), provides an elegant backdrop or an additional indoor space.

Surrounded by hydrangeas and flower beds, the upper lawn is ideal for a wedding ceremony in the intimate Fuller Reflection Garden. The picturesque lawn includes a stone terrace, sweeping green lawn ideal for tented or non-tented events, and a raised garden for easy viewing. Located a few steps from the Upper Lawn, the Lower Lawn is ideal for a larger reception or gathering. The patio beside the Carriage House is included, offering a quaint cafe-like retreat. The lawns are connected by stone pathways. Call 864-656-3405 or email Christian Hussey to check availability and book a date before making a payment.
