Sweet Wedding at the Historic Old Waverly Golf Club

October weddings at Old Waverly Golf Course and Club are some of the most beautiful. The light breeze, the incredibly scenic hills and lake of the course, and the elegant, timeless details of the club make it stand out among the array of other venues. This was the perfect place for Sydney and Spencer to get married.

The day began at the cottages on site as the bridal parties got ready. The bridesmaids and bride were ready before the day really got going. They were excited about what the day held. With her mom's and two sisters' help, Sydney got into her stunning wedding gown. It had gorgeous lace and patterns, making her look radiant and glamorous. Spencer looked handsome in his classic black tuxedo.

Sydney had first looks with her bridesmaids, her father, and with Spencer. All the first looks had tears and smiles as everyone saw Sydney. After the couple's first look, they exchanged letters privately under the infamous wisteria vines.

The ceremony took place on the iconic steps in the garden. Sydney and Spencer exchanged vows and rings in front of a large crowd of family and friends.

The reception that followed began in the clubhouse for a cocktail hour as the couple took photos at sunset. After cocktail hour, the couple was introduced in a large tent behind the garden. They danced their first dance together and cut their cakes. Everyone enjoyed celebrating Sydney and Spencer as they entered a new chapter of life together.

Timeless Wedding at Historic Venues | Old Waverly Wedding

The beauty of Kathryn and Charlie’s wedding day was stunning. From her fabulous wedding gown, the astounding floral arrangements, the glory of the outdoor tent, and the immaculate beauty of Old Waverly, their wedding day was one of the best. And to top all of that, the authentic genuine love of Katheryn and Charlie was so sweet.

Katheryn’s wedding gown was so gorgeous. The strapless gown adorned a beautiful bow in the back and a medium train. She looked radiant. Charlie also looked handsome in his classic black tuxedo with a bow tie.

The ceremony was held at First United Methodist Church of West Point. This was a very sentimental place because Katherine’s parents and grandparents were married there as well. The stained glass of the large windows on both sides perfectly lit the standing-room-only crowd of attendees. Surrounded by their large wedding party, everyone enjoyed watching Charlie and Katherine become husband and wife.

After the ceremony, everyone drove to Old Waverly and were greeted by delicious hors d’oeuvres and several food stations. In the front lobby of the clubhouse, there was a spectacular floral archway that perfectly framed the incredible five-tier wedding cake. It looked like a fairytale. The five bars were also thoroughly stocked and the band was ready to groove. It was important to Katherine and Charlie to give their guests plenty of room to dance and mingle so they had an outdoor tent on the other side of the water fountain garden. The tent was next level with its green faux carpeting, fabulous furniture, and outdoor air conditioning. During the evening “Nashville” hats were given to the guests to wear. At the end of the incredible evening, the couple drove away in a blue vintage convertible. Nothing could top Katherine and Charlie’s wedding day.

Charlie and Katherine were married on August 27, 2022, at First United Methodist Church of West Point, Mississippi.

Old Waverly Wedding, Two Years in the Making | Two-Part Covid Wedding

2020 WEDDING TEASER

Camie and Will’s big day was two years in the making. But it was worth the wait.

March is 2020 was a month to remember. It was the month when the COVID-19 virus broke loose in America so much so that the week of Camie and Will’s wedding, everything including Old Waverly Golf Club was forcible shut down by the government lock-down. Everyone was shocked, somewhat frightened, and just bewildered at all that happened within that one week. Camie and Will were ready to start their lives together as husband and wife, so they went ahead and arranged a quick new ceremony at the home of a family member. Though it was not what they had been planning and dreaming about, it was still a wonderful and beautiful day.

Camie wore an alternate wedding dress and Will wore an alternate suit. Only family and close friends were invited to this ceremony. There were simpler floral arrangements, cake, and Corona cookies. There were minimal toasts, but there was still joy all around because Camie and Will were finally married.

It would be one year almost to the day that they would get their dream wedding day about which they had been dreaming, but again, it was well worth the wait.

March 20, 2021, finally came. And it was the most perfect day. The sun was shining, the light March breeze floated over the green crisp hills of the golf course, and everyone was excited to finally be a part of this momentous celebration. Camie finally got to wear her stunning wedding gown that had been in waiting for more than a year. Will got to be with his friends while he waited for all the photography and videography to begin. Since Will and Camie were already married, nerves were less extreme and everyone was very much at ease and laid back.

Tracey Proctor and his talented team completely outdid themselves decorating and arranging the jaw-dropping spaces of Old Waverly. The altar at the top of those iconic steps was beautifully and delicately decorated with an array of florals like never before. The arrangements inside the club were also just as gorgeous. Everything came together perfectly for Camie and Will to renew their vows in front of all whom they cherished and loved.

The reception was a complete celebration with delectable food, to delicious cakes, to a groovy band. It was the party they had been waiting for! Everyone was thrilled that they were there to be a part of Will and Camie’s not simply wedding day, but enduring marriage. Again, it was very different how things played out, but it was still perfect and well worth the wait.

Camie and Will were married on March 21, 2020, at a private residence in Tupelo, Mississippi. They renewed their vows on March 20, 2021, at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Mississippi.

Megan + Blake

Old Waverly Golf Club is an ideal place to get married- vintage charm coupled with timeless elegance and glamorous detail. It’s a gorgeous option for brides who grew up in the small towns scattered about the central east part of Mississippi. Old Waverly was the place for Megan and Blake to begin a new chapter of their lives together.

Megan glowed in her wedding gown accentuated by her hanging diamond earrings. She presented everyone she loved dearly with thoughtful gifts throughout the daya. After their tender first look under the natural canopy of shady oak trees on the elegant drive up to the clubhouse, she presented Blake with a gold watch and a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle’s 15 year old Bourbon. He presented to her a beautiful diamond bracelet that added such sweetness to her wedding attire.

During their ceremony surround by their family and friends, Blake and Megan exchanged vows that brought forth tender-hearted emotions from them both. Truly no one would protest that Blake and Megan loved each other deeply.

For the reception, music and dancing were on the top of the list for everyone celebrating their day. Delicious food and drink were ceaselessly served. For a fitting exit, Blake and Megan drove off in a “Just Married” golf card through a sea of sparklers lighting the way!

Blake and Megan were married on June 1, 2019, at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Mississippi.

Anna + HC

When you step into Old Waverly Golf Club, it seems like you step back in time. Huge elegant paintings hang on almost every inch of the walls. Large windows look out onto the vast landscapes surrounding the club. Elegance, classic, timeless seem to become tangible realities when one steps onto the grounds.

Elegance, classic, and timeless are also the best adjectives to describe the wedding day of HC and Anna. Anna beamed in her wedding gown and her radiance only escalated when she opened the crown jewel of her attire, an heirloom necklace given by HC. Exchanging intimate letters during their first look, nothing but joy and excitement permeated their expressions as they saw one another for the first time on their special day. The fragrance of fresh flowers and the fickle Mississippi Spring rain draped beautifully around the outside garden courtyard during the ceremony.

Providentially, the rain and thunder held off so that HC and Anna could have the ceremony of exquisite sentiment and delicate simplicity. Family and friends feasted and celebrated the new couple until it was time for them to drive off in spring rain. HC and Anna were married on April 6, 2019, at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Mississippi.
