The Gillen House Bed and Breakfast was everything we hoped for in a wedding venue. The property is absolutely beautiful, and its peaceful setting made it feel special from the moment we arrived. Staying in the bridal suite the night before and getting ready in the main house made the day feel seamless. The built-in bar inside a converted barn shed was a charming touch that made our cocktail hour even more memorable. The outdoor ceremony in front of the forest, with the wildflower meadow in the background, was stunning and exactly what we envisioned. The backyard was perfect for our tented reception, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and unique the venue was. The Gillen House exceeded our expectations and gave us a wedding day we’ll always treasure. If you’re planning a wedding, I can’t imagine a better place to celebrate such a special occasion.

Absolutely beautiful establishment. Gorgeously and authentically decorated. Everything in sight is picture perfect. More than enough room to accommodate my overnight guests. Pleasantly clear and straightforward with planning and logistics. Before choosing a location for our wedding, I was afraid it was going to be stressful. One thing for absolute certain is that everyone at The Carmichael made the whole experience positive and up-lifting. It felt so much like a fairytale, I didn’t want to come back to real life. 12 out of 10!

Mrs. Arlene is the sweetest and most welcoming vendor I ever spoke with. She ensured that all the details for how we wanted the day to go was discussed. She offered different vendors that we could work with. She worked with my tight budget for my small wedding and made our day more special that I could’ve dreamed of. She was consistent with checking in with me which was greatly appreciated since I was planning my own wedding and was super busy with work and everything else. She was there the day of the wedding helping out in all the ways she could, she even fixed me and my husband’s plates so we can sit down and relax. Her team of photographers are the absolute best and were so sweet. Over all the whole experience was amazing and I can’t recommend her enough. She honestly feels like family and on top of everything the venue is beautiful! It’s an 1800 century that they’ve renovated, but kept all of its charm. If you’re looking for a small venue for a baby shower, wedding, birthday party. This is perfect! I am definitely going back for future events.

My partner and I recently celebrated our wedding at The Little Gardens, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless, stress-free, and absolutely wonderful, all thanks to the incredible staff and the convenience of their all-inclusive package. The team was simply outstanding. From the moment we arrived for our initial tour to the final goodbye at the end of our wedding night, we were treated with such warmth and professionalism. The wedding director, Vonna was a godsend, ensuring that every little detail was handled and that our day went off without a hitch. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our day special. We felt like we were in such good hands. One of the best things about the Little Gardens is its all-inclusive package. It took away all the stress of planning a wedding, as everything we needed was included—venue, catering, decor, photography, and even entertainment! It was incredibly convenient to have all these services provided in one place. We didn't have to worry about coordinating multiple vendors or dealing with logistics, which allowed us to truly enjoy our day. Plus, the quality of each service was top-notch. The decor was nothing short of breathtaking. They offer a variety of design themes, and their talented design team worked closely with us to customize the look to match our vision perfectly. From the elegant floral arrangements to the beautifully draped fabrics and twinkling lights, every detail was thoughtfully executed. The reception area was transformed into a magical space that reflected our style, creating an atmosphere that was both romantic and sophisticated. Our guests were in awe of how beautifully everything came together, and so were we! The venue itself is stunning, with beautifully manicured gardens, elegant indoor spaces, and breathtaking views that made for incredible photo opportunities. The ceremony space was enchanting, and the reception hall was beautifully decorated. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the ambiance and beauty of the location. The catering was exceptional! Our guests raved about the delicious food, which was both beautifully presented and flavorful. The bar service was excellent as well, with a wide range of options to suit everyone's tastes. [Venue Name] truly knows how to cater to a crowd. Thanks to The Little Gardens we were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. The all-inclusive package ensured that nothing was overlooked, and the staff was always on top of everything. This allowed us to focus on what really mattered—celebrating our love with our friends and family. Overall, I cannot recommend The Little Gardens enough. If you're looking for a wedding venue that offers outstanding service, ease of planning, beautiful designs, and a stunning setting, this is the place.

We got married at The Chapel on Sycamore in April and it was everything that we had hoped for! The chapel itself is gorgeous with the dark wood interior and stained glass, and the outdoor space in the spring was perfect for everything from photos to cocktail hour gathering. We had 200 guests and the space was accommodating. Lisa was with us to coordinate our day from the very start and was incredibly prepared, responsive, timely, and helpful in answering my many questions throughout the planning process. She met me at the Chapel to visit multiple times to look at the space as I was planning the event. We used Oakhurst Market, a preferred caterer, for our food and got many compliments (and loved the food ourselves!). We loved the location in Decatur near restaurants and bars for our guests and the ease of travel and proximity to the city and it was easy to book parking for our guests nearby with Lisa's assistance. I would highly recommend The Chapel on Sycamore as an excellent wedding/event venue with lovely and helpful staff. The pictures included are by OliviaRosePhotography.

The Corry House is named after the Corry family that settled the land in the late 1700's. That same family built the house in 1869, and continues to own the land to this day, ten generations later. After meeting and marrying in Greenville in 1989, Drs. Bo and Ruby Cheves moved to Bo's family farm in Union Point, Georgia. Here, they began the work of remodeling the 150-year-old farmhouse and surrounding grounds. As their two kids grew older, Bo and Ruby decided to build a new house overlooking the Ogeechee River further back on the property in 2007. With the help of Erin and Stanton Porter, The Corry House held its first wedding in 2010. At that time, we didn't have our reception barn or the meadow and forest wedding sites. Folks got married in the garden or in front of the farmhouse. After a few years of weddings, Bo and Ruby decided to run with it and built our temperature-controlled barn in 2014.
