Surrounded by farmland, our 15-acre property is hidden out of sight just a mile and a half from 1-95. Easily accessible but secluded and private, Tanglewood Plantation is the perfect location for perfect events.

Our distinctive white fence borders the property along Route 341, with separate entrances for private showings and guests/vendors. Though Tanglewood remains secluded by not having signs on the road, parking signs are placed in the morning when we host events.

This historic one-room schoolhouse, nestled among the trees along the main driveway, is now used as the Groom’s Cottage. This refurbished, air-conditioned space is a comfortable location for the groom and his groomsmen to relax ahead of the ceremony without seeing the bridal party.

These unity benches can be found surrounding the Great Lawn, and were placed between two growing trees to mark a marriage. For more information on the Benches of Tanglewood, read owner Jamie Curley Dyce’s blog post on the subject.

As seen from the main entrance. This main entrance is often used as the starting point of the wedding procession, with the bride exiting the house to walk down the aisle in dramatic fashion.

Affixed to the right-hand side of the main entrance is this plaque, signifying that Tanglewood Plantation is recognized on the National Registry of Historic Places. Our listing can currently be found online here.

Looking towards the back of the house from the main entrance, you can see the double doors that used to mark the end of the house, before the addition was added on in the early 1900s. The addition houses the kitchen, a half bath, and access to the back patios via a large screened-in porch.

Directly behind the Plantation House is the smokehouse, the oldest building in Lee County. The smokehouse was formerly used to preserve meats before refrigeration existed, and now hides all the pumps and piping for our two fountains.

Our large Charleston-style brick patios are the location of most receptions and events, and each has a large stone fountain in the center. These fountains contribute to the peaceful atmosphere and are a lovely home for some very happy fish.

Another historic building on property, this small, moss-covered house was previously used as the primary kitchen for Tanglewood Plantation. Nowadays it’s used as the childrens’ play room and is closed to guests, but it makes a lovely backdrop for bridal portraits or engagement photos!

Primarily used for storage, the barn facade also makes a great backdrop for bridal portraits, engagement photos, or a rustic-themed event.

Newly constructed under the Dyce’s ownership, the Pool House hosts our guest bathrooms as well as this 600 square foot catering kitchen. This is the home for your caterers during your special event, and is well equipped with wash sinks, large butcher block prep tables, ample refrigeration, a stove, griddle, two ovens, and two hot boxes to keep prepared food warm. Directly behind the catering kitchen is a gravel driveway to keep your caterer’s van and cars out of sight, and it can also be used for grilling and barbecue or any other open-air cooking.

In the evening, many married couples will leave the house through the main entrance for a sparkler send-off with the beauty of Tanglewood’s Plantation House as the perfect backdrop.
