About

Sanctuary Estate is a mansion wedding venue located in Cleveland, Georgia. This peaceful property is family owned and oriented, and has been so for many years. Back in 1990, Robin Rensink Kinsey purchased this property. Over the years, she transformed it into the stunning wedding venue site that it is today. From the moment you and your guests enter in through the canopied drive, you will feel as if you have entered a haven that is peacefully tucked away from the rest of the world in the Northeast Georgia mountains.

Facilities and Capacity

Sanctuary Estate is made up of 32 acres. Regardless of what time of year it is, this mansion and farm is available to couples and up to 200 of their friends and family. Couples are even welcome to host their rehearsal dinner party on the property as well. There are both indoor and outdoor site options available for you to choose from scattered throughout the venue’s acreage. Each site provides your wedding party with privacy and stunning views of the surrounding mountains and gardens. Site options include the Estate, the Barn, the Pool, and the Formal English Garden. The Estate features a total of three stories. Inside, there are dramatic features such as a spiral staircase. Inside the Barn, couples and guests will be kept comfortable with the climate-controlled setting while still enjoying the rustic design. After your wedding in the barn, you can step out on the 1,200-square-foot dance floor. The formal English garden is a peaceful setting surrounded by meadow, vineyard and the lake. The pool, fire pit, and patio space provides couples with a more intimate and relaxing site to enjoy with their guests.

Services Offered

Couples have a variety of package options to choose from when they host their wedding at Sanctuary Estate. Regardless of which package option you choose, you will receive a cocktail hour with hors douerves, catered dinner, wedding designer, day-of coordinator, floral table decorations, bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquests, corsages, boutinneires, a three-layer wedding cake, and more. Couples can also select event planning to make their big day less stressful.

Working with their Team

I recently worked with Alexandra and Avery of The Sanctuary Estate for their client's wedding, providing interpretation and translation services for the families and guests in German and English. From the moment they first contacted me, I was impressed by their thoroughness and professionalism. Most importantly, they were so welcoming and kind to every single guest and vendor! It was such a pleasure working with them, and I look forward to seeing how we can support them in the future with our Language Concierge and entertainment services!

Incredible venue and team

I had a beautiful wedding of ~200 guests at Sanctuary Estate in September, following the renovations to the Estate House and Lodge. Almost all of my guests were from out of town (Chicago, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Boston, everywhere!) and kept telling us how beautiful the ceremony and reception both were. Prior to the wedding, everyone enjoyed the exploring the local wineries, and (to my surprise - who works out on vacation?) hiking! I am so glad that we chose Sanctuary Estate and were able to relish our special day in the romantic North Georgia Mountains. I am also very thankful for the staff at Sanctuary Estate...the owners, Kathy and Alex, were hands-on and ensured that every detail was executed perfectly. They're professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise contributed to my perfect wedding day. I can't say enough good things about this venue and team!

Visit to the venue

It was a beautiful venue, if I hadn’t fallen in love with the venue I picked, this definitely would have been the one. The owner was so welcoming and the house farm and reception barn are absolutely stunning.

The Sanctuary Estate is, by far, one of White County's most beautiful treasures! Hidden in the rolling countryside, Sanctuary Estate has a beautiful courtyard for your ceremony and extra large outdoors dance floor conveniently located beside a two story barn that would easily suit a large reception. We enjoyed DJ-ing there, beneath a canopy of stars, this past Summer! Looking forward to our next visit.
