Lillian Gardens

I found Lillian Gardens after searching for a while and was mind blown by the incredibly fair price for the location and what all appeared to be offered online. While attempting to book somewhere during Covid seemed impossible- Ashley had a date come available in 2021.
We toured the venue and decided instantly upon meeting her that we would book, the timeless charm of the home was beautiful but you can tell she knows exactly what she is doing. I wanted a venue I could tell what I wanted and be done- and felt I had found that as soon as I toured Lillian Gardens.
I had toured multiple other venues and there is no one with the professionalism or eye that Ashley had. We started on plans and met with Stephanie who helped arrange all of my incredible vendors and sorted out details. She was patient yet led me on what needed to be done and coordinated everything for me.
A catastrophic tornado hit barely 2 months before our wedding and destroyed so much in Newnan.
Lillian Gardens was not excluded from the damage, but you would never know it. I was kept updated and given options on a weekly basis.
They did their best to rebuild what was possible, and it was incredible.
I can honestly say that somehow in the midst of something terrible- they created the most beautiful space. It was not what they were used to and certainly not in the plan.
But it was absolutely amazing. Everything was stunning- I have no idea how they captured the feel of that incredible house in a tent. But they did.
I don’t feel like we missed out on anything.

The staff worked so hard, and just stayed in the background working non stop quietly and professionally.
I used Marigold and Moss as my florist, which was one of their preferred vendors and I feel like she was paired perfectly with the venue. What I had in mind and the feel of the venue was perfectly blended by her arrangements.

To have been faced with such a terrifying situation Lillian Gardens blew every single one of us away.
Everyone knew of the tornado damage and my guests were astonished at what they created in such a short time span.

I told them I wanted a classic, romantic wedding and they exceeded everything I could’ve imagined.

There were so many details that Stephanie and Ashley surprised me with, I never felt a moment of stress even with the tornado damage. Once you meet them- you trust them. I firmly believe no one else could’ve pulled off what they did in the circumstances.

I can not recommend them highly enough. I feel so incredibly blessed to have been able to stumble upon a date that came up.

It felt like OUR wedding, not like we rented a space and decorated it. It genuinely felt like it was made for us and I loved it.
