Ross Bridge Romance and Wedding Day Elegance


The Elegant Ross Bridge Golf Resort and Spa has been host to several romantic weddings in the Birmingham Alabama area and I have had the distinct pleasure in planning and coordinating so many of these weddings and events.  This picturesque venue has also been the site of Birmingham's largest celebrity wedding where Anita Kanellis and AK Brides-Wedding Planning Services had the honor of planning and choreographing this wedding with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, the biggest names in the Music industry as well as some of the top wedding industry professionals in the country.  I have to say I was truly blessed to have had this experience and learned never to doubt my own abilities as a wedding planner and working with members of this entire team, security and staff, I know I can encounter and handle just about anything. 








The resort is so impressive with it's stately appearance







So many photo opportunities in and around the property

I have had the honor and pleasure of planning and working many many weddings at the fabulous Ross Bridge Golf Resort and Spa.  This was also the venue of choice for one of my most infamous weddings and the largest celebrity wedding Birmingham has ever seen and been host to!  Superior service, delicious cuisine and luxury accommodations for all brides as well as guests.  This is by far, one of my most favorite properties to plan, choreograph and execute a fabulous wedding day!
