Duff Green Mansion Named ‘Best Historic Wedding Venue’ in Mississippi Magazine’s 2025 Awards

VICKSBURG, Miss. – Duff Green Mansion has been selected as ‘Best Historic Wedding Venue’ in Mississippi Magazine’s “Best of MS Weddings 2025.”
Mississippi Magazine’s annual “Best of Mississippi” is an opportunity for readers to support their favorite places to eat, shop, and explore in the Magnolia State. Winners in over 60 categories will be recognized as either “Best of Mississippi” or “M-List” in their May/June issue
“We are delighted to have been selected as the best historic wedding venue and to have been named to the M list in two additional venue categories by the readers of Mississippi Magazine,” the Duff Green Mansion said in a statement.
Duff Green was also included in the ‘Destination Wedding’ and ‘Showers and Parties’ M Lists.
Before becoming a bed and breakfast, the historic landmark, built in 1856, has been a hospital for both Union and Confederate soldiers during the Siege of Vicksburg, a boys’ orphanage, and the local Salvation Army headquarters. The Vicksburg downtown bed and breakfast is also one of four structures acknowledged by the Smithsonian Institute.
Several other Vicksburg businesses were honored in other wedding categories of the magazine’s “Best of MS Weddings 2025,” including The Social Butterfly, who received “Best of Wedding Programs.”
