The Gillen House Bed and Breakfast was everything we hoped for in a wedding venue. The property is absolutely beautiful, and its peaceful setting made it feel special from the moment we arrived. Staying in the bridal suite the night before and getting ready in the main house made the day feel seamless. The built-in bar inside a converted barn shed was a charming touch that made our cocktail hour even more memorable. The outdoor ceremony in front of the forest, with the wildflower meadow in the background, was stunning and exactly what we envisioned. The backyard was perfect for our tented reception, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and unique the venue was. The Gillen House exceeded our expectations and gave us a wedding day we’ll always treasure. If you’re planning a wedding, I can’t imagine a better place to celebrate such a special occasion.

The Venue on Broad is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect spot for our wedding reception. Everything about the space is thoughtfully designed from the decked out bridal suite to the string lit patio space - it is just perfection. The best part of it might have been the staff. Summerlin and Mikayla were the absolute best to work with. They were super helpful and quick to answer all my questions leading up to our wedding day (there were a lot). And the food!! They were super accommodating to create a delicious custom menu for our wedding reception. Several people told us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Our entire reception was beautiful and ran ever so smoothly thanks to them and my wedding planner, Thailer Waterworth.

We found Koury Farms through Zola, and based on the profile it checked most of our boxes: within an hour of ATL airport, outdoor and indoor space, beautiful scenery for photos, spacious bridal suite, onsite parking, decor included, and no excess fees. After scheduling and attending our tour (7am on a Saturday morning with a 60 minute drive was rough but well worth it), we found out that it's a small family business that prides themselves on transparent pricing, not having deals with vendors to get more money, and not taking advantage of inflating costs just because it's a wedding. They were also able to help with planning, at a high level. After a week, we decided not to look into any more venues and book with Koury Farms. For the cost of the venue (especially in the off season), it was worth every penny. They even did a small Black Friday deal, which saved us a little extra money. We attended a few prop-and-play events that helped us find vendors and pick decor. At least 80% of the decor we used was theirs, and they handled the setup and a large portion of the cleanup. We opted for the day-of coordinator, and although we had to do more work than anticipated with a day-of coordinator (for example, we had to reach out to the vendors to tell them what time to arrive, a lot of logistical decisions I was hoping she could help out with fell on us, sometimes sending requested follow-ups after calls took a few days, and just in general a lot of things that to her seemed like common knowledge or were things we should've already known/thought about that had us making a few quick decisions), the value really came through during the wedding. I was not a high-stress bride and really didn't care much about how the decor came together and let her know that, and she matched my vibe all throughout the wedding day, which was great and really kept me relaxed. We didn't rehearse until the morning of, which ended up being fine. The main consideration are you can't bring anything the day before to keep at the venue and you have to be out of the bridal villa by 5pm. Overall, our day came together perfectly, and if we had to do it again, we would pick Koury Farms!

My daughter’s wedding at Chateau1870 was absolutely beautiful. As someone who had never planned a wedding before, I was overwhelmed at first — but the owners went above and beyond to guide me through every step of the process. Their support was genuine, consistent, and incredibly thoughtful. From the moment we started planning, it felt like they were just as invested in the day as we were. They weren’t just offering a venue — they were offering heartfelt support. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made it feel like they were planning the wedding for their own daughter. That’s how much they truly cared. The venue itself is stunning, whether you’re envisioning an elegant outdoor ceremony or a cozy, intimate indoor celebration. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting — or more authentic, kind-hearted people to work with. I would highly recommend Chateau1870 to anyone planning a wedding. You’ll not only get a beautiful space but a team that’s fully committed to making your special day unforgettable.

We appreciates their involved, thorough, and responsive communication style. The staff was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process, and the set-up on the day went seamlessly. While we had to use their in house catering and florist, which required an additional tasting fee if you wanted a private tasting, the end result was a beautiful event space that was overall well worth it. The only downside was wishing there had been a bit more hands-on help with the day-of timeline and schedule, and wishing our day of coordinator had helped get some of the shots and moments we wanted on camera. But overall, Little Gardens provided an excellent value and contributed greatly to making our special day perfect. Everyone there is wonderful!

My husband and I got married at White Laurel Estate on May 13, 2023! WLE truly made our wedding dreams come true. This was the first place we toured when starting our search and immediately after visiting, we knew it was the one. Jay Rogers was so welcoming and accommodating throughout the entire wedding planning process. There are not many venue owners that are as helpful and willing to answer questions in such a timely response in the way that Jay did. The grounds are stunning and make for the most beautiful photos - with the rolling hills, black & white accents, and both indoor/outdoor options. We rented both of the cottages for the night of the wedding and are so glad that we did - they were beautifully decorated and spacious to accommodate our wedding party following the wedding. Jay, his wife, son, and daughter-in-law were there to set up, ensure we had everything the way that we wanted it, and to shuttle us around on the golf cart for our photos in the fields during cocktail hour and we truly appreciated that! We are so sad it is over but would not change a single thing, thanks to White Laurel Estate. I highly recommend this venue to any and every couple on their search for THE one!

We recently had our wedding at Flint Hill, and it was truly a dream come true! The location is absolutely stunning, offering both beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces that were perfect for our event. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how gorgeous everything was. From the start, the planning process was a breeze. The staff, especially Brenda, Nikki, and Emily, were so helpful and accommodating. They made everything easy and were always ready to assist with any questions we had. After visiting several other venues, we knew Flint Hill was the place for us.

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.

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.
