Before diving into the nitty-gritty details, let’s talk about why Vinewood Stables is such a fantastic choice for your wedding day. The venue has everything you could want, blending natural beauty, history, and modern amenities. The stables themselves date back to the 19th century and create a sense of timeless elegance, while the lush outdoor spaces give you the flexibility to design the wedding of your dreams.

One of the things I love most about Vinewood Stables is its versatility. Be it an outdoor ceremony with scenic hills as your backdrop, or an intimate affair inside, rest assured you can execute your vision to perfection. It’s no wonder this wedding venue in Newnan, Georgia is a popular choice for couples who want to create an unforgettable celebration.

As for the pricing, it depends on when you’re planning to host your celebration. During peak season, a reception at Vinewood Stables costs about $3,000 – $4,000, while for the off-season, the price sits at $1,200. Naturally, these are subject to change and the venue’s team can also create personalized packages based on your needs.

Plan Your Dream Wedding at Vinewood Stables

Here is how to plan a Vinewood Stables wedding:

Choose Your Ceremony Spot

The venue offers a few gorgeous ceremony locations, so it’s up to you to decide which spot speaks to you the most. Do you love the idea of an outdoor ceremony surrounded by all kinds of natural treasures? If so, the lawn, with its expansive views of the Georgian countryside may be perfect for you. It is every photographer’s dream too!

On the other hand, if you’re up for a more rustic feel, the barn might be your spot. It has original hardwood floors and wooden beams. They offer a sense of history and romance that’s hard to beat. Whatever you choose, your Vinewood Stables photos are guaranteed to look amazing thanks to the natural light and historic ambiance.

Curate the Perfect Décor

Vinewood Stables already has much natural beauty to offer. This means you don’t need to go overboard with the décor. I would recommend that you think of understated elegance, with rustic details that complement the venue’s historic charm. You could drape the barn’s wooden beams with fairy lights for a magical touch. Or, decorate the ceremony space with simple greenery and soft flowers. Most importantly, you should also add elements that reflect your personal style as a couple, making the wedding uniquely yours.

The Reception: Dine and Dance

The stables offer plenty of space for an incredible reception. One of my favorite things about Vinewood Stables weddings is that you can customize the reception area. You could opt for

long farm tables for a family-style dinner or go for a more classic round table setup. The choice is yours!

For dinner, think fried chicken, biscuits, and seasonal vegetables for a farm-to-table feel. Dessert? A simple, rustic wedding cake adorned with fresh flowers or greenery. This will fit perfectly into the venue’s aesthetic.

What about dancing? The stables offer plenty of room for a dance floor, or you could set up an outdoor dance space under the stars. Choose a live band with country classics or a fun DJ to keep the party going into the night. Whatever you do, you will make your reception quite a memorable one.

Consider the Season

One important tip to keep in mind if you want a Vinewood Stables wedding is to consider the season. Spring and fall are particularly lovely. Think of mild temperatures and beautiful natural backdrops.

If you plan a summer wedding, the outdoor spaces will be in full bloom. But, Georgia gets a bit hot during this time! With that in mind, create shaded areas and offer guests plenty of cool drinks. In the winter, the cozy indoor spaces are a magnificent choice.

Photography Tips

One of the most exciting aspects of Vinewood Stables is how photogenic the venue is. Here are a few photography tips to make sure your photos turn out as magical as your day will be:

Golden Hour Magic

Make sure you schedule time for photos during golden hour. The soft, warm light that goes through the trees and over the pastures will give your Vinewood Stables photos a dreamy, romantic feel. This is especially lovely when you have an outdoor ceremony. The natural light around Vinewood Stables during golden hour is absolutely breathtaking.

Don’t Forget the Stables

The rustic charm of the stables makes it a prime spot for photos. You may look for a more relaxed shot of you and your partner (hand-in-hand), or a stunning formal portrait. Whatever you want, the barn’s wooden walls and rich history will make the perfect backdrop. And don’t forget to capture a few candid moments as you and your guests celebrate inside!

Save this for later.

Incorporate the Outdoors

From the wonderful fields to the amazing trees, Vinewood Stables is surrounded by natural beauty. A photographer should be able to capture this wide landscape shot or up-close details like you two sharing a private moment by the oak trees or next to a rustic fence.

With a venue like Vinewood Stables, you’re already starting off on the right foot. From the beautiful ceremony spots to the versatile reception areas, this wedding venue in Newnan, Georgia has everything you need to make your day unforgettable. And with a solid plan, the perfect décor, and some magical golden hour photos, you’ll create memories that will last a lifetime.
