“Japonica Path was the one place that felt like ‘us.’ We knew from the moment we stepped on the grounds. It’s elegant, warm, and full of charm. My husband literally said, ‘This feels like home.’ Emma and Mason took care of every detail so we could actually enjoy our day.”

Testimonials
“We hosted my daughter’s bridal shower here, and I have never experienced such beautiful service and hospitality. The setting is stunning , yes — but the heart behind the scenes is what made it unforgettable.”
Leslie T., Mother of the Bride
"Japonica Path is what Pinterest dreams are made of. But it’s even better because it’s real — and filled with people who genuinely care about you and your story. Every guest told us it was the most beautiful wedding they’d ever been to.”

About Us
Welcome to Japonica Path
a place where history and hospitality meet, where love stories unfold under century-old magnolia trees, and where your most sacred moments are treated with the care they deserve.
We’re Emma and Mason Dyess, the husband-and-wife team behind this restored 1840s mansion in the heart of Greensboro, Alabama. What started as a passion project to breathe life back into this beautiful home quickly became something much deeper: a calling to create a space where celebrations feel timeless, intentional, and full of meaning.
At Japonica Path, we don’t just hand you a venue and wish you luck. We walk with you — from “yes” to “I do” offering full planning support, thoughtful design, and warm, personal guidance every step of the way. With a background in event coordination and a deep love for Southern tradition, we bring both elegance and ease to your wedding planning experience.
Our estate features heirloom gardens, romantic porches, a stunning bridal suite, curated décor, and the kind of charm you just can’t fake. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, shower, rehearsal dinner, or intimate event, our goal is the same: to help you celebrate beautifully and feel truly at home while doing it.
This is more than just a venue. It’s our family’s labor of love — and we’d be honored to share it with you.
Come walk the path with us.
Let’s create something unforgettable.
