About this venue

Tucked away on a 38-acre private garden estate, South Eden in Thomasville, GA, is one of the South’s most distinctive destination wedding venues, where timeless elegance and romance converge. Known for our historic white chapel, exquisite Scarlett’s Bar, 300-year-old oak trees, and European-inspired architecture, this one-of-a-kind estate offers couples a breathtaking backdrop for their entire wedding weekend.

From the luxury get-ready suite and distinguished lounge to our on-site boutique hotel accommodations, every moment is thoughtfully designed for beauty, celebration, and lasting memories. South Eden features multiple indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception venues, including elegant rehearsal dinner spaces, open-air meadows, romantic garden settings, and grand halls adorned with chandeliers and antique furnishings. Whether you envision an intimate gathering, a garden party wedding, an outdoor garden ceremony, or a full destination celebration, South Eden is more than a venue—it is an unforgettable estate experience.

WHAT MAKES SOUTH EDEN UNIQUE?

Exclusivity
When you choose our venue, you are the only wedding on our property that day. You may be surprised that it is not standard practice in the venue industry, as many hotels and venues operate multiple weddings on the same day. We believe that every couple should be prioritized as the only couple saying “I do” that day. Just you, your love, and the people who matter most.

All-Inclusive Services
From your first tour to the final toast, our dedicated team is here to serve with intention, care, and creativity in a variety of ways. Beyond the venue, we specialize in many other services, including food and beverage catering, wedding cakes, facility rentals, table decor, and floristry. It is our pleasure to make your planning process as easy as possible, providing you with many premium onsite offerings.

Onsite Overnight Accommodations
We offer our onsite boutique hotel for any of your overnight accommodation needs. Our luxurious private rooms and cottages provide you and your guests with a unique, sophisticated, and convenient wedding weekend experience.

Garden Estate Beauty
Our private estate is curated to inspire—from romantic garden ceremony locations and golden-hour photo spots to candlelit reception spaces framed by historic architecture and European-style charm.

Creativity and Flexibility
Whether you dream of an intimate garden gathering, a chapel ceremony, or a grand celebration under the stars, we will work with you to bring it to life.

Exceptional Value
For a once-in-a-lifetime event, we know weddings can be expensive. It is our goal to provide you with a luxury wedding experience and premium services at a competitive value.

This version leans harder into the exact kinds of venue attributes The Knot is currently spotlighting: garden venues, natural beauty, international inspiration, historic architecture, and all-inclusive venues.

Amazing venue & staff!!

I have been a wedding planner in the area for many years and have been to countless venues. South Eden Plantation is one of my all time favorites!! It's rare to find a venue this beautiful and unique with so many gorgeous possibilities for ceremony and reception. And the staff is outstanding!! Their attention to detail is truly remarkable. They go well above and beyond to make sure weddings are perfect. You really must see this lovely, southern property for yourself. It's ideal for local weddings or destination weddings with all of the perfectly appointed cottages and suites. You will be so happy you chose South Eden Plantation!

Beautiful Venue & Professional Staff

My wife and I have photographed many weddings and South Eden Plantation is one of our favorite venues. As photographers, there are limitless opportunities to photograph here. But above all, Ms. Kim and her staff make this historical plantation truly magical! We absolutely love South Eden Plantation!

Highly Recommend!!

As a wedding photographer, I admit that I can be pretty picky when it comes to venues. For me to love a venue it must be unique, have great light, gorgeous places for pictures, and a beautiful reception area. I was very excited for my first wedding at South Eden Plantation and it definitely didn't disappoint!
The bridal suite is the prettiest that I've seen! It is spacious with high ceilings and great natural light. It's decorated so beautifully with antique mirrors and sofas. I could have done a whole shoot just in there and although time didn't allow, hopefully one day I will.
There are TONS of options for ceremony sites at South Eden and they are all gorgeous. The property is sprawling and lush with photo opportunities everywhere. My personal favorite was the historical 1825 pool house. There was such beautiful natural light inside and a gorgeous ivy wall and garden outside it for other photo ops. I love how the owners have maintained the historic qualities and the pool house has such charm and character.
Inside of the main house is perfect as well. I loved the reception space that my bride chose in the main dining room with big windows, chandeliers and hard wood floors. I know there are many other options for receptions that I am excited to experience in the future.
I really can't rave enough about this place. With so many cookie cutter venues, it was so inspiring to work at a venue like South Eden. It is the perfect venue for an elegant wedding and there is no place quite like it!

We held our ceremony and reception at south eden. They also took care of our catering and wedding cake. The venue was breathtaking, the food was unbelievable, and the care, attention to detail, and professionalism of the staff alone are worth booking your event with them.

Don’t look anywhere else

South Eden Plantation offers EVERYTHING you could want and more with a wedding and handles the whole process with ease. I was in the middle of graduating and moving and planning a wedding with them was super easy and stress free. My wedding day was magical and the site offers so many wonderful places to take pictures. We ended up staying there our wedding night and also had a wonderful experience with the staff who catered to us (which we were grateful because we were exhausted!!) and made sure we had food and water. The beds were so comfortable we ended up buying the same mattress for our new apartment. We will be visiting for our one year anniversary and we love that Eden is a location we can continue to go to and relive our fantastic wedding night!
