“It was a wonderful experience working with The Vecoma by the Yellow River. They are top notch professionals. The food was the best I have ever had. (To name a few - Salmon, roast beef- caesar salad and Mac and cheese were so good).. The guests could not say enough good things about the food. The venue itself is gorgeous. We had a fall wedding down by the river. Leaves were falling and it was just magical. The cost for this venue is a steal. Book this place!! The owners are the best and everything is very organized. Caroline is a wonderful photographer and so easy to work with. The day went so smoothly. Within a few days, we received a few sneak peek photos and then a great short video of our wedding. Our day was wonderful and stress free thanks to these people! I have had three daughters get married, directed and decorated for many weddings in my lifetime- and I can honestly say- this is the best I have worked with and seen.”

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,750

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.

“Little Gardens is the right place to be if you’re looking to make your wedding extraordinary. Kristin and her team diligently worked with us even though we had little time, and everything worked out perfectly. Guests that came from overseas were amazed that such a place could rival bigger wedding venues. From the decor, communication and coordination, Little Garden made our day stress free and extra special. If I could get re-married to my wife every year, I’ll choose Little Gardens.”

There are so many different styles that can be done with this place, its versatility is very appealing. I recommend seeing it in person because even great pictures don’t do it justice.”
