They’re all pretty charming, depending on the vibe you’re going for. See above for our seasonal breakdown. We also have indoor and outdoor wedding venue options.
How early should I book your outdoor wedding venue?
Think 12-18 months, but we’re open all year long, so contact us to learn more about our availability.
Where can my guests stay?
The Lodge fits 10+, and Athens’ best hotels and rentals are just minutes away.
Mountain, forest, chapel, or city vibes for wedding places in North Georgia?
Why not all of the above? We’re serving up mountain views with city conveniences. If you don’t love having it all, though 🙄 or you are looking for a castle, farmhouse, or basic red event barn wedding venue, check out Splendor Mountain, Atlanta Botanical Garden, Bison View Lodge, Montaluce Winery, Cenita Vineyards, Kellum Valley Farm, The Greystone Estate, or Piedmont Park.
What makes Hadden Estate special compared to other Northern Georgia wedding venues?
Where else can you have a vineyard wedding venue, pick blueberries for your welcome bags, have stunning architectural backdrops for your ceremony and reception, and still make it to downtown Athens for late-night celebrations? We are the premier retreat event venue you didn’t know existed.
