ABOUT ME

​Hi, I’m Courtney Currie — the heart behind Sugar Magnolias. I’m a proud Augusta University graduate with a degree in marketing, where I focused on event planning. After college, I pursued my real estate license, and that journey serendipitously led me to this special place — Sugar Magnolias.

 

Before owning my own venue, I worked in the event industry for several years. In October 2020, during one of the most uncertain times for events, I took a leap of faith and purchased this beautiful historic home. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated — the original hardwood floors, grand pocket doors, intricate crown molding, soaring ceilings, and the stunning floor-to-ceiling mirror completely stole my heart. I saw potential, and more importantly, I saw a vision.

 

As for the name? I’m a lifelong Grateful Dead fan, and “Sugar Magnolia” has always held a special place in my heart. It felt only fitting to name this venue after something that brings me joy, just as I hope it will for you.

 

When I’m not working, you can find me outside, exploring new places, or dancing at a concert. But nothing compares to the joy of welcoming people into this space and helping create memories that last a lifetime.

 

I fell in love with Sugar Magnolias the first time I saw it — and I have a feeling you will too. I can’t wait to help make your time here truly unforgettable.
