What Makes Hadden Different Amongst North Georgia Wedding Venues

Let’s spill the tea on what sets us apart from other North Georgia venues:

  • 24 acres to play on (that’s a lot of photo ops)
  • Our very own vineyard (wine not?)
  • U-pick blueberry farm (sweetest favors ever)
  • Multiple “I do” spots
  • A 5,800 sq ft barn that puts Pinterest to shame
