Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I started looking for our wedding venue, we had pretty high expectations. We are full-time wedding photographers and most of the venues we have been to are pretty cookie cutter and not at all what we wanted for our own wedding. You’ve got your barns, ballrooms, and industrial chic venues and then you’ve got something completely different like New Holland. New Holland has character, charm, and a one-off nature that was exactly what we were looking for. We knew that when we decided to have our wedding after being married already for ten years, it had to be at New Holland. Sophie and Reagan made the experience booking and hosting our wedding effortless. Our entire wedding celebration was unconventional, and because of that, it required a whole lot of coordination with activities and food for our guests that typical weddings don’t necessitate. Sophie and Reagan handled everything the day of the wedding perfectly. It was like one big choreographed dance. I know that without them, our wedding would have been a huge, disorganized embarrassment, and we are so grateful they helped make our day run smoothly so that we could enjoy it. If you’re the kind of bride who is looking for something bespoke and can’t find it at any of the venues you’ve visited so far, I know you’ll find it at New Holland.

What's the Average Cost for Wedding Venues in Georgia?

Wedding venues in Georgia typically run about $6,399 which makes up roughly 14% of your total wedding budget. That's actually a pretty good deal when you compare it to the national average of $6,500-$12,000 where venues eat up about 25% of total wedding costs. Your total wedding budget in Georgia will grow as your guest list does. With 50 guests you're looking at around $19,646 while 100 guests pushes that to $32,489. Hosting 150 people? Budget about $44,564. For 200 guests expect to spend around $55,360 and for 250 you'll need approximately $66,155. Those planning a big celebration with 300 guests should set aside about $76,951. These figures help you plan realistically based on the celebration size you envision.

Which Georgia Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

Culinary-focused venues across Georgia deliver exceptional dining experiences your guests won't forget. Ecco in Midtown Atlanta has earned national recognition for its seasonal European cuisine with a cosmopolitan flair that food-loving couples appreciate.

Elevation Chophouse & Skybar in Kennesaw offers unique menu options prepared with fresh ingredients while Vic's on the River in Savannah provides elegant receptions with stunning views paired perfectly with refined cuisine. Seafood enthusiasts will love Lure Seafood in Midtown Atlanta famous for serving some of the city's best oceanic delights that will impress even your pickiest guests.

How Can Remote Guests Participate in Georgia Weddings?

Their sophisticated technology allows remote participants to interact through synchronized lighting effects and dedicated Q&A sessions that make distance feel less significant. You can involve up to 350 remote guests in ways that go well beyond simple video streaming; they've created systems that make your distant loved ones feel truly part of your celebration with personalized touchpoints throughout the event. This approach transforms the experience from passive watching to active participation, especially meaningful for those important people who simply can't make the journey.

Willow Creek Farm offers fully handicap accessible facilities with flat terrain that eliminates mobility concerns. You'll find Lilly Creek Farm combines rustic charm with thoughtfully designed wheelchair-accessible facilities including private restrooms and plenty of natural light to create a welcoming environment.

How Far in Advance Should You Book a Georgia Wedding Venue?

Most Georgia couples start their venue search about 13 months before their wedding date with November being the busiest month for inquiries.

Georgia's peak wedding seasons run April through June and September through November when the weather is most cooperative. Popular venues during these prime times often book up 12-18 months in advance so starting early gives you the best chance at securing your dream location without having to compromise on your preferred date.

Georgia venues beautifully incorporate regional culture through distinctive experiences you won't find elsewhere. Many properties lovingly preserve their architectural details while offering all the modern amenities you'd expect.
