I cannot say enough about this venue and its owners. We rented The Sunset Lounge for rehearsal dinner and the entire venue for our daughterâs wedding. Each space within the venue is unique and thoughtfully tailored for its purpose, and all filled with live plants and greenery. The Retreat was the perfect guyâs hangout while getting ready. The Parlor was ideal for the bridal suite with plenty of seating and large mirrors for hair and makeup.The Courtyard was absolutely beautiful for the ceremony and The Atrium was the party place for dining and dancing the night away. The venue owners were so helpful, answering all our questions touring us around as we brainstormed the space. They were hands on throughout the entire weekend, making sure we had everything we needed. When we struggled with setup, the owner jumped right in to help us get it done. They helped turn our daughterâs dream into reality. If you are looking for a unique event space, I highly recommend this venue. Reviewed on 02-11-2023

I fell in love with The Plant Venue the moment I walked in the door. I scheduled a tour with Ansley, and she is a delight. As she showed me each room, she told me the history that went into each roomâs name. I especially loved the private rooms. They are perfect for private parties. I also loved the big open space with the beautiful plantsâŚ..it overlooks the courtyard. This is the perfect venue for any special event, especially a wedding! It can be transformed into a really magical backdrop. Itâs so beautiful. I highly recommend The Plant Venue! âď¸ âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸Cindy Cobb Reviewed on 24-10-2023

The Plant Venue was the perfect setting for our wedding rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception! The natural botanicals and modern architecture makes the venue unique and unlike any other venue in the Jackson area. The staff was extremely attentive and accommodating the entire weekend!

Terrible place to book at. Kids wandering into the back and the owner came out irate screaming at the kids forcing them back into the main area. I understand some areas were off limits but if it wasnât a safety concern, you definitely shouldnât scream at kids or make them feel like they did something terrible. Speak to children the same way you would like someone to speak to yours. I would advise black people to spend their money elsewhere!! He has no patience and doesnât understand how to de escalate situations. He wants our money but we are not truly welcomed! Reviewed on 17-10-2023

If I could leave 0 stars... I would!! I recently had an event there and everything really went well until the end. While setting up and the actual event, I didnât really have much interaction with the owners. So I didnât initially get to see who I REALLY booked with. After the event, while my family and I were cleaning up. There was a small (level 1) disagreement between the officer and someone over how much was owed for security. The officer was there less than 3 hours but lied and said he was there for 5. I IMMEDIATELY felt this was unnecessary and offered to pay whatever amount was owed just to calm everything down. Some how the owner Travis Crabtree involved himself in the dispute and it just became worse. All I know is that I was the one who wanted nothing but peace but somehow Travis Crabtree was in my face yelling âYOU WENT OVER THERE AND MADE THINGS WORSE. ALL YALL DID WAS MAKE THINGS WORSEâ. I was so confused and hurt. He continued to yell â YOU HAVE 20 MINUTES TO GET OUT OF HERE AND YOU ARENâT WELCOME BACK!â Yelling all this in front of family, guests and kids. It was so sad and humiliating. Even if you had an issue with one person, why would you scream that at everyone? Even the kids? I waited til everything was cleaned up and I was the last person there to explain how I was the one who paid for venue and was really hurt by his words. He just made an excuse how some things got said while he was heated. All I really wanted was an apology but all he said was \"So we're all good?\" Thatâs it!! These people take your money and really donât want you there. The smallest hiccup, their mask falls and you see who they really are. So no I will never book there again and will not recommend it to anyone else because Travis Crabtreeâs ego was too big for to just apologize when he were wrong. Please take your money else where. Its not even worth it and its in a terrible area. So now instead of thinking how happy my family was to be together, I will remember someone scream and belittling us in front of children, guest and everyone. So thanks for the memory.
