    The perfect venue

    Just amazing all around. The perfect venue for nature lovers. The historic home was a beautiful dinner setting and the pole barn was awesome for dancing. Definitely recommend! We will be back for anniversary dates and just a great place to explore with all the cute animals and quaint gardens.

    Wedding at Autry Mill

    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.
