Our venture into the exciting world of weddings began quite unexpectedly. In 1994 we purchased a parcel of land in a very rural setting to build our dream home. After years of hard work clearing the land, and 2 ½ years of construction, our dream home was completed. We had been in the home only for a few months when Tammy's sister asked to have an outdoor wedding at our home. Being our family, of course we said yes.

As a wedding gift to her, we obtained the services of Adams Stage Lines. They provided a white Victorian vis-à-vis carriage drawn by an American Standard-bred horse. In this quiet, serene country environment, the carriage was a lovely addition to an already beautiful setting for a wedding. They have been in the horse-drawn carriage business for over 30 years, and elaborated that in all of those years of countless weddings in the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia, they had never seen a wedding site more beautiful than our home.  Thus they provided the encouragement and inspiration for the birth of The Saratoga Springs (named after a Southern Living house plan designed by William E. Poole of Wilmington, NC, and constructed by Bobby Troutman, owner of Country Living Custom Builders.) We chose as our slogan, “A Storybook Wedding in a Fairytale Setting.”

What started out as simply a site for a family wedding has now transformed our home into a full-time, family owned and operated wedding business, full of Southern hospitality and charm for up to 250 guests...complete with a Bridal Suite and a Man Cave!

More than 20 years later, we find ourselves still doing what we enjoy…being a part of someone’s “happily ever after” and everyone leaves feeling like part of our extended family.  We are all privileged to have been a part of hundreds of weddings and receptions that have taken place at the Saratoga Springs…but more importantly, we are honored that so many people that have come to Saratoga as customers, have left as friends. 

Thank you for visiting our website. We would love the opportunity to be a part of your Happily Ever After!
