We’re Jennifer & John

Welcome to our corner of paradise in Watkinsville, Georgia. I’m Jennifer Hadden, and together with my husband John, we’ve created DGD Farms – a luxe wedding venue, winery, lodging, and blueberry farm just minutes from Athens and the University of Georgia.

How We Started DGD Farms

Our journey began in 2017 with a dream and 24 acres of pristine land. We knew this place would be more than just our home; it would become a destination for celebrations and unforgettable experiences.

We started by planting 2,600 blueberry bushes, sourced from south Georgia. Now, every summer, our U-pick blueberry farm bursts with the sweetest fruit you’ll ever taste. The joy of welcoming guests during blueberry season inspired us to share our beautiful property year-round.

From Blueberry Fields… to Dream Weddings

That’s when we designed and transformed Hadden Estate into North Georgia’s most sought-after luxury wedding venue. We built a stunning reception hall, a picturesque ceremony green, and a charming covered pavilion. Our venue quickly became known for its classic Southern feel and flawless execution.

Introducing Our Newest Addition: The Winery at DGD Farms

Southern Warmth

The DGD Farms/Hadden Estate Legacy

We live here with our family and have had the absolute best time getting to know friends from near and far who have visited us for blueberries, weddings, or just a taste of our wine. Every person who walks through our doors leaves a little piece of themselves here, making DGD Farms and Hadden Estate richer with each passing day.

Book your tour and let’s create something beautiful together at Hadden Estate – where every moment is a celebration of life, love, and Southern warmth.

We would have a million weddings together & each time we would choose Hadden Estate!

Everything about this venue was perfect! The property was absolutely beautiful, but the real hidden gems are the people! The owners Jen and John made us feel like family and we only knew them for a short amount of time. Their social media guru was the extra bridesmaid we didn’t know we needed! Our day was absolutely magical thanks to them! This venue has EVERYTHING you need as a couple, Kelly and I would have a million weddings together & each time we would choose Hadden Estate!
