The vineyard has so much to offer for a wedding from the beautiful cottages, different areas to relax, the magical ceremony space, and spectacular pavilion! Every part of the vineyard brings a small touch of magic that brings a wedding to life! The food was also amazing and we received multiple comments from our guests about how much they loved it.

  • Offer

Dear Couples, Thanks for your interest in our exclusive, historic farm! We have several openings for 2025. We are a small family farm available during the Spring and Fall only. Our ancestors established this property in 1826. We named our venue this because we treasure the history of this space, and know there were many long, happy marriages on this land. There are several natural backdrops from which to choose for your ceremony; a log barn built in the 1820s, under an oak tree that is almost 200 years old, next to the pond on the dock, or by the large barn with a few curious horses behind you. Then walk across the green grass to your celebration under a tent, with or without a dance floor, lighting, tables, chairs and linens of your choosing. All of our vendors provide the chairs, tables, tableware, tent, linens, bar services, catering, photography, music, etc.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Venue is completely outdoors
  • Rustic-chic setting
  • Raw space for complete customization

Venue considerations

  • Does not provide event staff
  • No on-site guest accommodations

1826 at Stowers Farm is an absolutely stunning outdoor venue nestled in the heart of North Georgia. Shannon and her team are absolute gems, making it effortless to turn your event ideas into reality. If you're dreaming of a venue that gives you the freedom to design your perfect wedding, then look no further. This is the place to make your dreams come true!
