Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum

This was the best wedding venue! We did our wedding ceremony in the ballroom and held the reception in the carriage house. Jennifer, the event director, was so helpful and accommodating. It was really a great value for the money because they only do one wedding per weekend so the can devote their total attention to the event. We rented The James Lee House, the bed and breakfast next door, which really helped things go smoothly. I highly recommend doing a wedding this way. My groom and I are fairly type-a, and we did not have one meltdown. It was my perfect princess wedding!

Simply amazing home built on Millionaire's Row in Memphis in the late 1800s... It was phenomenal and the restoration has been exceptional... Georgia and all the other people that work there sincerely have their hearts in this project and they are wonderful to talk with and have incredibly deep knowledge of the area and the people... Well worth the money and exceptional value

Beautifully restored home with an informative for around the house given by Germaine. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to get an insight into this beautiful house and the history behind it.

I have posted more than once about Woodruff- Fontaine House. I always learn something new when I tour it. Unique things to check out like: an actual chair owned by Charles Dickens, necklaces made out of human hair, the signatures (on a door that leads no where) of all the men who built the house, furniture created specifically for individuals who were courting each other/dating for marriage, a look out point at the very top of the house. You could easily spend a few hours here. The tour guides are ALL incredibly knowledgeable. ASK THEM ANYTHING ABOUT THE HOUSE, THE PERIOD, AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED AND WORKED IN THE HOUSE... even the spirits that remain in the house.

Really enjoyed their open house this week. The first Friday of the month, they have a free open house to the public that I believe runs from 5pm to 8pm. This month, they have beautiful Christmas decorations put up throughout the mansion. It looked absolutely beautiful! I would recommend making a visit!
