“TEN REASONS TO BOOK THIS VENUE (even before seeing it in person!) We booked sight unseen to get our preferred date, and the venue is only better in person! 1. Truly all inclusive and QUALITY services/ care. The Summit Team is responsive, flexible, professional, and kind. The local vendors they connect you with are detail oriented and make your vision come to life. We used their florist, DJ, caterer, baker, and photographer. We were thrilled with all of those services! The packages come with a coordinator and planner. They are incredible and make your life SO easy! I had no idea how much a would utilize these services. 2. There is no shortage of adorable decorations for you to choose from, so you save a ton of money by using what they provide (comes with the package) The Summit team sets it up and breaks it down for you. I’m particular and was honest about not liking burlap or lace. They really listened and made sure the style was exactly what I wanted. They have everything available to you on their Pinterest so it was easy to make decor selections. 3. The absolute best mountain view in North GA!!!! And there is no road noise. You might hear a ‘moo’ from the cows grazing on the hill. We toured a ton of venues and felt that a lot of them were too noisy or that parking/ layout was limiting for our handicapped guests. Summit is conveniently laid out and everything is accessible. We didn’t have to hike a mile to get beautiful photos. 4. The food is excellent! We had the Granny’s style menu and guests raved about it! Our cake was also gorgeous. They provided everything needed for dinnerware and refreshments and kept the drink stand replenished all evening while we danced! 5. It’s convenient from the ATL airport, and there’s plenty to do for guests traveling. Our family did a local wine tour. Tube the Cartecay if the weather permits! Some of our guests rented cabins and others stayed at the Hilton in downtown Blue Ridge (we provided a shuttle) and it worked out nicely for everyone! 6. The on-site accommodation (The Lewis House) is adorable! They also help you with recommendations for local accommodations/ transportation if your guests are traveling. 7. Our dog was able to be a part of our photos and ceremony! We only needed someone to take him back to the cabin for the reception. 8. Our loved ones got to enjoy the day with us. I’ve been in plenty of weddings where we worked all day and didn’t get to enjoy the celebration. The Summit Team gave our family and friends the space to cherish our day. 9. We selected the Apple Package upgrades, and our guests loved the boxed apple pies as favors. This was one less thing on our list and I would highly recommend the investment! 10. I enjoyed my wedding. The planning process was not stressful, and I felt as though I was the only bride at Summit because of how attentive the staff was. Thank you for making our wedding dream come true! We highly recommend booking with Summit Farm!!!”

John and I fell in love with Athens while attending UGA, and eventually put down roots of our own, purchasing 24 acres in the heart of Bulldog Nation in 2016. We planted 2,600 blueberry bushes and named it Damn Good Dawg Farms. Combining my background in design and the wedding industry with John's building knowledge, that farm became Hadden Estate. Today, we offer a working blueberry farm wedding experience like no other in the region. Say something blue among our blueberry rows, celebrate under chandeliers in the Estate Room, and keep the party going all weekend with The Lodge, our onsite accommodations for up to 22 guests. From quiet mornings to late nights with your closest people, a full wedding weekend at Hadden Estate feels like a true destination, just 15 minutes from Athens.

“There truly aren’t enough words to describe how grateful we are to Vecoma for making our wedding day so unforgettable. From our very first interaction to the moment we walked out as husband and wife, their team was exceptional. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but the staff at Vecoma made the entire process feel smooth, organized, and manageable. They were not only professional, but genuinely kind and welcoming. Every question we had was answered quickly, every concern was handled thoughtfully, and every detail was approached with care. On the day of our wedding, their organization and coordination were on full display. Everything flowed seamlessly. We never had to worry about what was happening next because their team was already three steps ahead. They were calm, attentive, and completely in control behind the scenes, allowing us to be fully present in one of the most important moments of our lives. The food deserves its own special recognition — it was absolutely amazing. From the presentation to the flavor, everything exceeded expectations. Our guests are still calling and texting to talk about how delicious the meal was. That says a lot. It wasn’t just “good wedding food” — it was genuinely outstanding. What meant the most to us, though, was how responsive and prompt the team was throughout the entire experience. If we needed something, they handled it immediately. If we had a question, they answered it thoroughly. We never felt ignored, rushed, or like just another event on their calendar. They treated our wedding like it truly mattered — and that made all the difference. Vecoma didn’t just provide a venue; they created an experience. They allowed us to celebrate without stress, to enjoy every moment, and to focus on what truly mattered — our love, our family, and our friends. We will forever be thankful that we chose Vecoma for our wedding day. It was everything we hoped for and more. With heartfelt gratitude, Robert & Abeni”

“Loved having my ceremony here at the little house. I wanted to have my reception there as well, however, the City of Johns Creek requires an alcohol permit and insurance which would have cost us more than the venue cost. This is not in any way Autry Mills fault. It is not their requirement but it was disappointing to us having to make last minute venue changes for our reception.”
