the lodge

i thought i'd share some pictures of our venue. we're getting married at the monte sano lodge at monte sano state park. it's a park located in huntsville on a "mountain." i say "mountain" b/c it's a mountain for alabama, so it's not a real mountain...more like a foothill. it's a pretty place and has a lot of great views of the surrounding area.

the lodge was renovated a few years ago, so it's really nice. the interior has a lot of personality and details that i love...lanterns, woodwork, stone walls, vaulted ceilings, open beams, two stone fireplaces. i love these little seating areas. i think i'm going to leave them set up in one room so people can relax, hang out and take a break from dancing.

it also has a full catering kitchen which tina is very excited about (which in turn helped our food budget). :)
