A beautiful winding river, rolling hills and pastures, rustic buildings, and Victorian elegance....this venue has it all!

Your guests will enjoy cocktail hour outside on the covered patio or under the stars beside the great oak tree.

History Yarborough Mill was built in 1849 as a working gristmill and settlement by Percy Yarborough, a prominent physician and pharmacist in Adairsville, Georgia. At the time, the Mill also served as the local post office where mail was delivered on horseback. The Mill was in operation through the early 1900s and was purchased in 1998 by the current owners and has been lovingly restored, keeping any improvements true to its original integrity. We began operating as a wedding venue in 2013.

Gorgeous Location to Photograph

Myself and my associate photographers have photographed weddings at this venue on three separate occasions, and I really love it for several reasons.

First, it's just beautiful and the options for gorgeous photos are unending between the four buildings on property and the vast outdoors with fields, woods, the river, and the long winding driveway/road. I'd be happy to share a full gallery with anyone of this location.

Another huge advantage of having a wedding here is that everything is onsite. Getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Being able to do all of that at one location helps wedding days go so much smoother than having to travel between locations with a bridal party and trying to coordinate vendors to show up at different locations.

And I've found the venue owner Karen to be a real sweet heart in hospitality on the weddings I've photographed there. Personally I'd love to shoot here again and again. When couples and even friends of mine who get engage ask me for venue recommendations I always mention Yarborough Mill. ~ Chris Jones, Sowing Clover Photography

Mother of the Bride

Yarborough Mills is a gem. Karen was very accommodating to the bride’s wishes for the tent placement and other arrangements. Due to very rainy, cold weather we had last minute concerns regarding parking and the honeymoon suite. Karen walked us through options and made it a worry free day. I highly recommend this rustic elegant venue.

Yarborough Mill is simply a beautiful venue!

Yarborough Mill is simply a beautiful venue! I would recommend it to anyone who wants their wedding to be special. The property is gorgeous and provides everything you would need to make the day exceptional. Our daughter wanted a vintage 1920's style wedding and Yarborough Mill was the only location that could come close to providing the feel we were looking for. In fact it exceeded our expectations. It is also a premier venue for any type of wedding or event where you want the location to be extraordinary. Karen Llop the owner and the staff were extremely pleasant to deal with and made us feel as if we were family. We couldn't be happier with the expirience at Yarborough Mill and frankly it helped make the memories for the wedding something that will last a lifetime!

My daughters 1920’s theme wedding 10/27/2018

The owner of Yarborough Mill was so personable and always available if we had questions day or night. We revisited the venue with our daughter the bride and Karen was a gem. Karen and the venue were perfect. I would highly recommend this venue over and over again. We rented the venue for the weekend and loved it.
The wedding was perfect as Was the venue.
Thank you again Karen.

Yarborough Mill was SO perfect for our wedding - we actually live in Michigan but had our wedding in Georgia because Yarborough is so beautiful! We had an intimate morning ceremony (9 adults, 2 kids and a baby) under the pavilion and brunch in the Mill. My wife's family stayed in the cottage on the property for two nights. The venue is rustic but not difficult to navigate to, and there are lots of airbnb/vrbo/homeaway options closeby for guests. Karen is such a kind, sweet person - so happy to help. The little details around the property make it a joyful place to be. Although our ceremony was intimate, the property is definitely big enough for quite large weddings. We were a little nervous to have an LGBT wedding in northern Georgia, but Karen made us feel right at home.

This venue was a dream come true! We still cannot get over how perfect the entire property was for our wedding! Karen is a great person to work with and she's so accommodating and friendly! Every single one of our guests loved it and raved about how beautiful it was. When we first visited, it was a cold and rainy day and we still fell in love!
We would recommend this place to everyone because of how unique it is, the shuttle service that knows the area well, and the ability to stay in the guest cottage over night.

Karen is absolutely the best!!! She doesn't treat your wedding like just another day she is very responsive and so helpful!!! Our wedding was so beautiful and aside from the flowers we didn't spend over 100 on our decorations. The place is perfect all on its own!!! It's affordable and your money really does go a long way with this venue!!!

I highly recommend this venue for your wedding. The setting is breathtakingly beautiful and Karen's helpful and calming presence made my daughter's special day absolutely perfect. All of our guest raved and asked, "How did you find this place? It is awesome!" Don't miss out on the perfect wedding venue! Come and enjoy Yarborough Mill for a memorable place to spend your wedding day.

This venue is family owned and operated and absolutely gorgeous! This venue is perfect if you are looking for a rustic venue near Atlanta, Georgia. It is located about 1 hour north of Atlanta and there is a variety of hotels nearby.

This venue has a Mill, Barn, and old Victorian house located on a stream. The attic of the Barn has a gorgeous honeymoon suite that opens up to the scenic property.

This venue allows you to bring your own caterer and and alcohol and is great for a DIY bride.

Our ceremony was outside by the stream and our reception was in the Mill. It was a perfect day and we are so happy that we choose Yarborough Mill. All of our guest loved it and complimented the beauty of the grounds.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
