About this venue
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.
Our event spaces
The Blueberry Fields
Exchange Vows Among Rows of Blueberry Plants
At Hadden Estate, the blueberry fields offer far more than a seasonal harvest. Long, manicured rows create a vineyard-like setting for intimate ceremonies and cocktail hours, while the adjoining Blueberry Lawn opens into a wide, airy space hosting up to 300 guests under a tent. It's a working farm setting unlike any other, and the heart of your something-blue wedding weekend.
