J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works In the Metro Valley, J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works adds a little special seasoning to the bride and groom’s big day. “Our venue is not only lavish with landscape and inviting to the eye, but it is also enriched with a century of history,” says Event Coordinator Marie Clark. “Many brides choose to offer the optional tour of the salt-making facility to their guests to enjoy while they are taking their post-ceremony photographs.” At J.Q. Dickinson, the bride and groom have their choice of three ceremony sites. The Fairy Garden is a more intimate setting with a maximum seating capacity of 100 for a ceremony or 60 seated for dining while the Lath House is a covered shelter-style area ideal for larger weddings that transforms into a magical reception space for 200 people. Seelie Court, the largest garden, can accommodate 300 guests for a wedding ceremony and 200 for a sit-down dinner. “Different spaces and gardens allow for unique and individualized events and setup,” says Clark. “The vision of the event host is what we bring to reality.” J.Q.
