Wedding Venue Tour: Danclay Farms
As a Huntsville wedding photographer, I have taken the past several months to tour wedding venues in North Alabama. Today’s blog features the beautiful wedding venue: Danclay Farms. If you’ve been dreaming of saying “I do” in a place that feels like it was plucked straight from the French countryside, let me introduce you to Danclay Farms. This hidden gem is nestled on 200 acres of rolling hills in Florence, Alabama. It’s just under two hours from Nashville and about an hour and a half from Huntsville. Perfect for couples with guests coming from both directions. You’ll get the charm of a destination wedding, close to home.
A Slice of France in North Alabama
Danclay Farms brings a touch of European elegance right to the heart of the South. With soft stone facades, wrought iron details, and dreamy arched windows, this luxurious estate is where French-inspired architecture meets timeless elegance Every detail of this space is thought out so beautifully.
I love that the French-inspired aesthetic is carried throughout the venue including in the bride and groom’s getting ready area! The groom’s suite is one of the coolest suites I have ever seen! With a pac-man arcade, a pool table, and a spacious couch and living room, the groom and groomsmen can really enjoy themselves the morning of the wedding! Equally as beautiful to the groom’s suite is the bridal suite! As a wedding photographer, I love bridal suites with natural light and plenty of space. This suite has both!!
Not only is Danclay Farms mission to provide a luxury event space for weddings, it goes deeper!! The owners, Anu & David Fields have a heart for animals! Danclay Farms is also home to Halfway Home for Animals (HHA), a heartfelt sanctuary devoted to rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need. When you choose to celebrate your wedding here, you’re not only making beautiful memories—you’re also making a difference. A portion of every booking goes directly to support HHA’s mission, allowing love to ripple far beyond your wedding day. I love that!
Infused with British Colonial charm, the Great Room at Danclay Farms captivates couples with its graceful curved windows and pristine white interiors—a timeless backdrop for your celebration.” The Great Room can serve as both a ceremony and reception space.
Look at this beautiful pool house, outdoor seating area, and basket ball courts!! I love that this venue intentionally created areas for the entire family and bridal party!
If you are wanting an outdoor wedding ceremony, Danclay Farms offers an outdoor location. You can say your vows while overlooking the rolling hills and pastures.
