Venue Rental options
You are free to use whichever vendors that suit you, although we are here to make suggestions if you need them. When comparing venue rental fee + food + beverage, The Raymond is one of the most affordable and charming venues in the Jackson area. That means with a small budget (making great use of our included decor and naturally beautiful space), a large budget (with amazing florals, a designer dress, and a well-known wedding planner), or anything in between, The Raymond may be the perfect fit for your wedding day.
Additionally, we know when planning your wedding the venue is the most important investment and that's why we strive to have affordable prices with unmatched value with no hidden fees or upcharges. We have transparent pricing which makes it all-around easier for you when planning your wedding and working within your budget.
“As a vendor, we couldn’t possibly love a place to work more! The owners and staff are ALL IN for each of their events and make things magical! We love you guys and love working with all of you. We couldn’t recommend a better venue!”
— Holly Grace Burns
