There aren't enough superlatives to describe this spectacular venue. Merely approaching the grounds gives grand expectations of good things to come from The Magnolia Room (and there's plenty of free parking). You won't be disappointed. The staff with whom we worked, specifically Shirley Huffman, bent over backwards to accommodate us, make suggestions, and give much-needed advice all in a timely manner. My husband and I planned a 50th surprise party for our oldest daughter who is a resident of Rock Hill. We live in Arizona and Michigan and had to make this event for 80 guests (although the room could easily have held 150 more without crowding), coming from all over the United States, work long distance. Having orchestrated our fair share of formal gatherings through the years, we tend to be pretty OCD over every detail. Shirley made this easy even though we were hundreds of miles away. The Magnolia Room does not provide catering staff, bartenders, linens and florals, photographers, music, etc., but they do have a raft of suggestions for these vendors and at all price points. The event host (in this case, my husband and me) is the employer of the staff, not The Magnolia Room, and we loved that autonomy. We chose from Shirley's list and were very pleased with all of the talented, hardworking people we hired. The beautifully landscaped grounds lend an aura of graciousness, the indoor and outdoor lighting are worthy of a movie set, the air conditioning hum like a top, and the floor-to-ceiling windows enhance every aspect of this exquisite room. The restrooms and bar are also nothing to sneeze at. With every desire attended to, The Magnolia Room is the only venue in Rock Hill we will ever need. read more
