Your fairytale wedding should take place at Hidden Acres because it is the ideal setting. It combines old-world allure and natural splendor with the seclusion and tranquility of a pastoral setting and a surprising number of contemporary conveniences. Hidden Acres is a stunning location for your dream wedding, as it is discreetly tucked away in the countryside and is only ten minutes away from the historic downtown area of Marion. Allow us to assist you in making memories that you will treasure for the rest of your life. Hey y'all, Hi, my name is Donny Gerald, and I own Hidden Acres in Marion, South Carolina's historic district. When I first began Hidden Acres in 2007, I can say with complete candor that I had no intention of ever developing it into a wedding venue. It was first conceived of as a sort of hunting lodge when it was first built. But as more people approached me with the idea of having their wedding here, I became aware that there was a niche in the community that I could potentially fill. Keeping this gap in the market in mind, I set out to make Hidden Acres the most sought-after location for weddings in the Pee Dee region. To each of our couples, I believe that we have brought a little bit of paradise into their lives through the work that we have done here. The fact that other people love Hidden Acres just as much as we do is both an honor and a source of humility for my family and me. We are always looking for ways to improve the property, and it is one of our favorite things to do at Hidden Acres to surprise our clients with brand new and exciting amenities. When you stay with us, you'll get a taste of what "Rustic Charm and Southern Hospitality" was meant to be: the best of both worlds!

On our lovely patio and within the restaurant, Lewis Barbecue offers full service private gatherings. John Lewis, the founder and maestro of BBQ, grew up in El Paso, Texas, and came to Austin at the age of 18 to begin his culinary career. John's parents got him a New Braunfels smoker for his birthday around this time, and he began dabbling in Austin's long-standing backyard BBQ culture. He immediately began to experiment with the design and construction of both his smokers and his meats in order to achieve a better result. After spending time in Denver developing his skills on the competition barbecue circuit, John returned to Austin to assist his buddy Aaron Franklin with the opening of Franklin Barbecue, and then joined with LeAnn Mueller to open the much-loved La Barbecue. John went to the Holy City in March 2015 with his smokers to introduce the Lowcountry to the amazing world of Texas BBQ. Lewis Barbecue, which he and his team established in June 2016, has been acclaimed as one of the greatest in the country by publications such as Southern Living, Conde Nast Traveler, Garden & Gun, and others for its famed brisket, honky tonk music, and laid-back attitude. You're still in luck if you can't make it to the physical location. All of John's smoked meats are shipped across the United States via our online store. Rancho Lewis, John's second design, will open in Charleston in 2022. Rancho Lewis embodies the spirit of West Texas, an area rich in varied cultures, and was inspired by his youth growing up in the Southwest Texas-El Paso region. Lewis Barbecue will open a sister location in Greenville, SC, as well.

A Southern restaurant that is influenced by French, Italian and Spanish cuisine. Pizza, pasta, small plates and a raw bar are the focus of the menu.
