The Bridal Parlor
The Side Porch is beyond excited to introduce our newest addition, The Bridal Parlor! For many years the “brides room” was in the Jernigan home, but we decided it was time for an upgrade! This is a luxurious space made for the bride & her maids to get ready in on wedding day.

The bridal parlor is a separate building and includes a kitchenette, a bathroom with a clawfoot bathtub, plenty of space for lounging, glamorous mirrors, and more. The photo opportunities are endless, every corner makes a pretty picture!

The Grooms Room
The men need a spot too, right? The Side Porch offers a section of the property just for the boys. The Grooms room is an old garage turned useful! The perfect hang out spot during any big day.
