“The staff/owners at Barn South are incredible! So easy to work with, helpful and thorough. This venue is beautiful as is, so much subtle attention to detail, but also provides an awesome canvas to showcase couples' personalities/preferences as well as favorite vendors! Being able to bring in our own alcohol and choice of caterer also saved us a lot of money. Can't recommend Barn South enough!”

“My husband and I got married here in April 2023 and had the perfect wedding! The Gillen House is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. We chose April for the spring flowers and they did not disappoint. The Gillen House had beautiful, colorful flowers growing all over the property that were also used for our table settings. The upstairs of the house was a great space for me and my 8 bridesmaids to get ready in and the owners are the sweetest, most accomodating people. They worked very well with all our vendors and really went the extra mile to make our day special. All of our guests loved the venue and we had an absolute blast celebrating. You will not beat their prices if you're looking in the Atlanta or Athens area. I highly recommend The Gillen House for your wedding!”
