Thomas House and Garden

Thomas House and Garden is one of Columbia's most charming and historically significant wedding venues, an exquisitely preserved 1906 Victorian property that has been listed on the National Historic Register since 1970. The property combines the warmth and character of a beautifully restored early 20th century home with romantic cottage gardens that provide a lush, intimate outdoor setting for ceremonies and celebrations. The Victorian architecture features classic period details including decorative woodwork, graceful porches, and the distinctive proportions of the Edwardian era, creating a backdrop with genuine historic character that photographs beautifully in both color and black-and-white. The cottage gardens surrounding the house are meticulously maintained and offer multiple ceremony and cocktail areas that transition seamlessly through the seasons, with blooms from spring through fall providing natural color and fragrance.
