From the moment my husband and I first inquired about hosting our wedding at The 62, the owners were incredibly efficient, supportive, and kind in their communication. They were always quick to respond to my many emails and texts, and never made me feel like I was a burden. Their flexibility and encouragement throughout the planning process was truly invaluable. The venue itself is stunning, with a sleek and well-kept aesthetic that felt so special and set apart. We were able to utilize the on-site cottages for our wedding party, which added an extra layer of convenience and comfort to our entire weekend celebration. The 62's reasonable pricing and incredible packages made it an absolute no-brainer, and I cannot recommend them enough to future brides looking for a remarkable wedding experience.

We had a wonderful and successful wedding at Lanier Islands! Olivia and Jacob were incredibly helpful—both professional and detail-oriented throughout the planning process. The ceremony site overlooking Lake Lanier was absolutely stunning, and the reception package offered unbeatable value compared to other venues we considered. Our guests couldn’t stop praising the beautiful lakefront setting. Plus, there were plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy, like the game center and golf course on the island. The food and drinks were excellent, and we loved spending our complimentary wedding night at the Legacy Lodge, complete with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries—such a thoughtful touch! Overall, we’re so glad we chose Lanier Islands for our big day. We’ll definitely be recommending it to our newly engaged friends!

Awarded Best of Zola
The 173 Carlyle House was the absolute perfect venue for our special day. We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception there with almost 200 guests, and their venue space and staff accommodated for us exceptionally well! My favorite thing about the Carlyle House is its flexibility and the ability to personalize decor and details for your event, as well as it's reasonable and extremely affordable pricing. Throughout the entire planning process (only 4 months), Gerise was helpful, responsive, and offered her expertise and support whenever needed. I had multiple meetings, calls, and walkthroughs to plan and finalize everything, and she was more than accommodating each time I reached out. The house itself is classy, elegant, and charming, which is exactly what I was envisioning for our wedding. The staff and catering were wonderful and we received many compliments from our guests on their service. I hope we have another reason to use them again in the future! We highly recommend the 173 Carlyle House for any special event!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding reception in November. It was very budget friendly and had so many great features, including the freedom to choose your own catering or cater the party yourself. Carly the camp director was beyond helpful and very communicative from the start. She answered my many emails and phone calls and gave great suggestions. Franklin Hall is very spacious inside, and has a nice large deck outside and a grassy area for people to spread out. They had plenty of tables for us to use for food and seating for guests, as well as table cloths to rent for a very reasonable price. Being able to set up the day before made the day of the reception much less stressful. The amphitheater was perfect for our band. Being able to offer camper cabins for our friends to stay in was so convenient, since there aren't many lodging options very close by, or lyft or uber availability. Our guests were very impressed with the venue. I would highly recommend Camp Kiwanis for any event.

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.

What's the Average Cost for Wedding Venues in Georgia?

Wedding venues in Georgia typically run about $6,399 which makes up roughly 14% of your total wedding budget. That's actually a pretty good deal when you compare it to the national average of $6,500-$12,000 where venues eat up about 25% of total wedding costs. Your total wedding budget in Georgia will grow as your guest list does. With 50 guests you're looking at around $19,646 while 100 guests pushes that to $32,489. Hosting 150 people? Budget about $44,564. For 200 guests expect to spend around $55,360 and for 250 you'll need approximately $66,155. Those planning a big celebration with 300 guests should set aside about $76,951.

You can involve up to 350 remote guests in ways that go well beyond simple video streaming; they've created systems that make your distant loved ones feel truly part of your celebration with personalized touchpoints throughout the event.

How Far in Advance Should You Book a Georgia Wedding Venue?

Most Georgia couples start their venue search about 13 months before their wedding date with November being the busiest month for inquiries. If you've got your heart set on a popular venue, especially for weekend dates during fall or spring, you'll want to move quickly. Georgia's peak wedding seasons run April through June and September through November when the weather is most cooperative. Popular venues during these prime times often book up 12-18 months in advance so starting early gives you the best chance at securing your dream location without having to compromise on your preferred date.

What Makes Georgia Venues Unique?

Georgia venues beautifully incorporate regional culture through distinctive experiences you won't find elsewhere. Many properties lovingly preserve their architectural details while offering all the modern amenities you'd expect.

What makes Georgia venues truly special is how they blend that famous Southern tradition with contemporary style, creating settings that feel both timeless and fresh.
