Double Cabins Plantation B&B

If you're dreaming of an old-fashioned, plantation-style wedding, consider the Double Cabins Plantation Bed and Breakfast. This 1842 house earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places by surviving Sherman's infamous march to the sea during the Civil War, and the restored cotton plantation evokes plenty of antebellum charm. You'll find exotic peacocks, rare birds and horses as you stroll the plantation grounds, and the century-old magnolia trees are a pretty setting for ceremonies and pictures.
