Wedding Symposium at Monmouth

Monmouth Plantation was selected as the location for the statewide Mississippi Destination Wedding Symposium held July 28 and 29. State tourism officials and THE BRIDAL GUIDE MAGAZINE presented the format and discussions were given by THE BRIDAL GUIDE MAGAZINE executive staff and travel writers from locations outside of Mississippi. Monmouth was honored to have been selected as the premier location for this symposium.

We have always been a perfect location for weddings, rehearsal dinners and receptions- and today it is becoming extremely popular for the bride and groom to choose their wedding location, such as Monmouth--away from the locations of where scattered families and friends of the family live. Natchez offers not only a beautiful setting for a wedding but a perfect getaway for all guests attending. Mr. Tom Curtin is photographed as he finished his insightful presentation. Mr. Curtin is Publisher and Senior Vice President of THE BRIDAL GUIDE MAGAZINE. Call on Monmouth staff to start your thoughts on a Destination Wedding at Monmouth.

Engagement at Monmouth

A lovely young couple wrote this story of their engagement here at Monmouth and the words that Tesa writes could not be said more beautifully.
-Peggy Voss

For spring break Adam wanted to take Tesa somewhere out of Memphis. Tesa's friend, Sam, suggested they look in Natchez, MS at The Monmouth Plantation luxury bed and breakfast. After looking at the website Tesa fell in love with Monmouth! The next day Adam told Tesa that he called Monmouth and it was completely booked. He said the good news was that the Super 8 still had vacancies! So on Good Friday the couple drove to Natchez. Tesa still had no idea where they were staying until they pulled into the driveway of an antebellum mansion framed by spanish moss-draped oaks. It was Monmouth! This is a place that both Glamour magazine and USA Today called one of the 10 most romantic places in America and for good reason! Adam looked over at the rarely speechless Tesa and with a grin said, "I didn't lie. I told you it was completely booked and that's because I got the last suite!" The next day it was warm, sunny and the air carried the fragrance of the estate’s lush gardens. The couple walked along the pebbled paths passing through the wisteria-covered pergoloa, well-manicured croquet lawn and a white gazebo surrounded by candy colored tulips. They walked down the brick steps that were lined with buttercups to a bridge hoping to get a closer look at the mallards in the lake. As they stood on the fairytale-white bridge that hovered over the oranmental lake Adam pointed out a cyprus tree on the bank that had it's long limbs reaching into the water. Tesa started to pose Adam for a picture and suggested he get knelt down. After the picture had been taken Adam remained on his knee. He held Tesa's hands and professed his love for her and her family. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a ring box and asked Tesa to marry him.
