    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!

    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!

    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.

    Could Not Have Picked A Better Venue!

    Robin, Cindy, Tim and the whole team at Sanctuary Estate work hard to make sure your big day is YOUR big day -- exactly like you want it! We felt so taken care of and the venue was just gorgeous. Every little detail was perfect and helped make our special day absolutely wonderful!

    Sanctuary Estate, Highly Recommended

    The wedding and rehearsal dinner were both held at this venue. I worked with Robin to plan the rehearsal dinner. Since it was a destination wedding, it was so nice to have everything from setup to take down be part of the package. The chef was amazing and easy to work with and the venue was beautiful. Even though it was a package, Robin went above and beyond to personalize it for us and the couple.

    Sanctuary Estate Exceeded All Expectations

    Our wedding and the whole experience leading up to our big day was amazing. My husband and I do not live in Georgia, so planning the wedding through emails, and a few short visits was surprisingly easy. Robin and her team, Cindy and Tim, were great to work with. Robin was really nice and accommodating to anything we needed. Cindy was the best coordinator. She was very prompt with email responses and super helpful with questions and ideas. Tim did an amazing job with the food and flowers. The bouquets and boutonniere were beautiful. We wish the night had lasted longer and so do our guests! They enjoyed everything as much as we did. The Sanctuary Estate did not disappoint, it went above and beyond expectations.

    Rehearsal Dinner

    We hosted our son's rehearsal dinner in the barn facility. The food from the caterer was amazing and the tables that Robin decorated were so elegant! Robin is so easy to work with and she has an attention to detail. We had a party of about 60 people and it accommodated us with lots of room to spare. I had so many of our guests say it was the best rehearsal dinner they had ever attended.

    Unforgettable

    Incredible. Amazing. Unforgettable. Nothing I can say would truly describe how appreciative and thrilled I am to have had the opportunity to work with Robin, Cindy, and Tim at Sanctuary Estate for our wedding!

    The thing I probably appreciate most was the ease of planning. My mom helped with much of the planning and being that we live 1200 miles apart, we weren’t sure how we’d make it work, at least smoothly. Robin and Cindy both communicated with my mom and I in a timely fashion and it really made planning a breeze.

    I am also beyond thankful for the kindness and compassion of these ladies! They were so kind and gracious with not only my fiancé and I but with our entire families.

    The wedding day was smooth and a great time. The decor was even more beautiful than I had envisioned. Guests complimented the food and cake repeatedly. It was truly magical.

    Robin and Cindy guided us every step of the way and I am so thankful for them. I never imagined I’d be able to get married in such an incredible place, so happy we found Sanctuary!

    The Perfect Wedding Venue

    Sanctuary Estate was an incredible venue! Everyone we worked with did everything in their power to make the entire experience perfect, and it was. The setting is absolutely gorgeous and everything about my wedding was more than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend Sanctuary Estate to anyone for their wedding!

    Everything I Ever Wanted

    I had my dream wedding here and it was worth every penny. I came across the Sanctuary Estate when I scheduled a site visit at a nearby winery. I had a relatively last minute request to visit the venue and Robin, the owner, happily accommodated me. Needless to say, the grounds are absolutely STUNNING and at first sight I knew I had to have my wedding here. This venue has everything you will need for your day- a bridal suite for you and your bridesmaids to get ready, covered pavillion for the ceremony in case of rain, several different areas for photographs, a full service reception area (barn) with decorations, tables and chairs.
    Planning process: I loved that the wedding packages are up front and all inclusive and that there are no hidden costs/surprises. You have the option to 'add' to the wedding packages if you elect to do more florals/have an additional appetizer, etc, but you do this later on in the process. For me I was unsure of whether I would have 100 or 125 guests, but I never stressed about it because I knew exactly how much it would cost either way! I worked closely with Cindy, the wedding coordinator, who was super sweet and very helpful throughout the whole planning process. I met with Cindy for 3 planning sessions and attended 2 tastings to meet Tim, the caterer for the venue. At the tastings we met other couples getting married at this venue. I really liked the group setting because I was able to ask people what they did for rehearsal dinner/transportation/accomodation and of course you got to taste the food and tons of different cake flavors. I had one floral consult on the same day as my last planning session. On the final planning day you also finalize your food selections, cake flavors, decorations, 'add on' items with Tim.
    Actual day of: Everything went flawlessly and the weather was perfect. I did not worry about ANYTHING. Cindy took care of communicating with my vendors to make sure they were there on time and knew where to go. She made sure we stayed on schedule and came and found us when it was time to do the cake cutting and toast. The food was AMAZING and all my guests were raving about the cake. We had 3 flavors (our favorite was the Reese's Peanut Butter cake). Everything from my bouquet, food, table settings, decorations, to florals was perfect. I wish I could get married all over again!! Everyone had a fantastic time and I'm so glad I selected the Sanctuary Estate. I recently got my wedding photos back and this place is picture perfect.
    Recommendations: This venue comes with a package but but you do need to put in some leg work and make sure you arrange for things that are not included - e.g. BYOB, bartender, sound system. Make sure you ask the right questions and think through the details that are not included. Robin, Cindy, and Tim will have the answers to your questions because they've done this a zillion times! They also have recommendations for vendors if you need. We are so grateful that we came across the Sanctuary Estate. It is a truly breathtaking property with wonderful owners who will make it possible for you to have your dream wedding! 10/10 would recommend!

    Outstanding Venue and Service

    When we pulled up and saw the look of this venue we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. After speaking with Robin and hearing how eager she was to pull this wedding off exactly how we wanted, we decided to go with it! With a year of planning with here every time I contacted her she was always available with great input! Our wedding day was truly amazing! Everything was so smooth and planned great! I couldn’t imagine my wedding anymore perfect! We highly recommend the venue, staff and especially Robin!!

    Robin and her team were the bomb.com!! We wanted something small, family only and very laid back. She went above and beyond to make it PERFECT for everyone involved. It was everything we had hoped for - we have both our ceremony and reception in the barn (it was a very small wedding) but it was absolute perfection. The food was delicious, DJ in point, and wedding coordinator was crazy attentive! You can’t go wrong with The Sanctuary for your event!

    Sanctuary Estate made my wedding day exactly how I had always dreamed it would be and so much more. Cindy and Tim were able to be flexible with my work, school, and practice schedule. My wedding experience was stress free, thanks to them! I highly reccomend them to any couple looking for a venue.

    Our experience in working with the team at Sanctuary Estate was unbelievably easy. The team accommodated our requests with the Rehearsal dinner, and delivered an enjoyable quality experience.
    Our guests were amazed at the beauty of the wedding venue, the food was delicious and the bride and groom were very happy! Choosing the Sanctuary Estate Experience was a great decision!
    We appreciate the level of commitment by Robin, Cindy and the extended teams who made the Hutchins/Beauchamp wedding day an event everyone remembers for a very long time! Many thanks to the florists, caterer, and staging staff as well. This was a wonderful event, thank you!
    With sincere gratitude and appreciation,

    Our wedding was perfect. Robin and Cindy and their preferred caterer/florist Tim brought everything I imagined to life. The setting is gorgeous. We have been married almost 9 months and our family and friends are STILL talking about what a phenomenal wedding we had. My bridesmaids were blown away by the bridal suite. They somehow exceeded my every expectation. I just wish we could have stayed longer! We were all having so much fun we didn’t want to leave!

    My wedding at Sanctuary Estate was so beautiful. The owner Robin was so helpful through the whole process and would give tips and pointers when we needed it. Her Day of Coordinator Cindy was also a dream to work with. She would help me get in touch with all the vendors and make sure they knew what they were doing. On my wedding day if there were any problems I never knew about it because these two ladies made everything happen without a hitch. ALL of my guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been too and I agree.
    Sanctuary Estate also recommends a caterer Gree Gables with owner and baker Tim. He is phenomenal. I wanted a lush romantic wedding with lots of flowers and he made it happen. We sat down with him twice to go over things that I wanted and I showed him pictures and he made my dream come alive, literally! My bouquet was gorgeous and I had pedestals with flowers going down the aisle to the flower lined fountain. My wedding at Sanctuary Estate was a fairytale come true and what I had been dreaming of since I was a little girl!

    Everything was absolutely beautiful. Robin and her staff were fantastic. The new cover over the dance floor made the already gorgeous venue even better. In my opinion you will not find a more beautiful venue anywhere. Because of Sanctuary Estate my daughter had the wedding of her dreams. I would not change a thing. Perfect in every way.

    Utilize all of the space as much as possible. If it rains, you now can get married on the dance floor, which is an excellent back up plan. Sancutary Estate staff was great and allowed to wait and see if we needed to move the ceremony inside until noon the day of the wedding. They are very flexible. Overall, it was an amazing venue!

    My daughter was married this past weekend at Sanctuary. I can't thank Robin (owner) and Cindy (day of coordinator) for all they did to make the day go as smoothly as it did. They kept us informed of the possibility of impending weather changes and when the torrential rain came an hour before the wedding they did all they could to keep us informed of when the rain would let up and what rain plan could be set in place. The rain slacked off enough to set the chairs out as guest started arriving and the wedding started on time with no rain during the entire ceremony.
    Leading up to the wedding Robin and Cindy both responded quickly to all our questions. The venue is breathtaking and all of our family and friends are still in awe of the beauty that it holds.
    Sanctuary is truley a hidden gem here in Cleveland. GA. , but so are Robin and Cindy.
    Robin thank you for making us feel welcome in your home and providing the most magical place for my daughter to be married.
    Cindy... what can I say! You are THE BEST! We could not have made it through the wedding day without you.
    Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!

    My daughter wanted a romantic venue for her wedding and Sanctuary Estate fit the bill perfectly! From our first visit with Robin, the owner of the home/venue, we felt instantly at ease. Robin responded to any questions we had during the process in a timely manner and was extremely easy to talk to and work with. We had our own vendors we wanted to use and it was not a problem at all. I would highly recommend this venue for a beautiful wedding experience.

    We just had our wedding at Sanctuary Estate and it truly was the Best Day Ever! The whole day flowed smoothly thanks to Cindy the wedding planner. I honestly couldn't of imaged a more perfect day. If you're looking for a venue that offers the best of both worlds then this is it. I'm absolutely thrilled that we choose such a beautiful venue with kind and caring people that really care about how your special day will turn out.

    What an extraordinary, stunning and magical wedding weekend for our daughter on October 29, 2016. Robin is a treasure, and Cindy and everyone went above and beyond to make sure everything went well. Our families, friends and guests were welcomed and taken such good care of, and everyone was captivated by the surrounding beauty. From the Rehearsal Dinner on the poolside veranda, to the arrival of the fairy princess and her dad in the horse drawn carriage, to the gorgeous ceremony by the fountain in the garden, and then the absolutely wonderful dinner and dancing at the barn - it was simply perfect. Robin Kinsey and Sanctuary Estate - thank you for helping us make Ashlee's wedding a dream come true for she and her beloved Adam. We will never forget this wondrous weekend.

    Sanctuary Estate was home for our daughter's fairytale wedding on October 22, 2016. From the first time we visited the property until the event was completed, it was a pleasant experience. Owner, Robin Kinsey and coordinator, Cindy worked tirelessly to make sure every small detail was completed as we desired. All of our family and guests were as equally impressed. I highly recommend this north Georgia venue for your wedding event. Your choice of options are many with sites for rehearsal dinner, bridal brunch, ceremony and reception spots on this lovely property. This homestead is a wonderful place to start anyone's happily ever after. We highly recommend Robin Kinsey and her lovely plantation venue, Sanctuary Estate. Our daughter lived her dream-come-true wedding and we could not have been more happy with the entire experience.

    We used Sanctuary Estate for our Rehearsal Dinner (~50 people) and Wedding (~150 poeple), and it was absolutely perfect. The venue staff were very helpful, professional, accommodating, and responsive - and the house & barn are absolutely amazing! You'll save some money on decorations and flowers because the venue is beautiful in and of itself. You'll also save on catering as well by paying N GA prices vs Atlanta prices. My wife loved the 2,000 square foot bridal suite, which was perfect for her 8 bridesmaids plus family. Our family & friends loved making it a little vacation and renting a few cabin up there for the week as well! Our photographer just loves the venue because you absolutely can't take a bad picture there. I definitely would recommend this venue to anyone!

    If your looking for a Fairy tale Wedding, this venue is for you. It is absolutely gorgeous. My daughter had her dream wedding come true. We had a boxwood garden ceremony in front of a beautiful fountain. This was in front of the white Southern home. The reception was held in a beautiful barn ,patio dancing with overhead string lighting. Every guest was captured with the beauty. Can't go wrong with this place.

    Wow! This place is the most gorgeous place I have ever been to & we were so excited to be able to have our wedding here. Robin has paid so much attention to detail that you don't need to spend hardly anything on decorations. She was so accommodating and very responsive. She was able to recommend vendors when I had no idea where to turn. Thank you Robin for helping to make our day a dream come true!

    What a wonderful choice we made to have our special day at Sanctuary Estate. Even though the rain was relentless, the owner Robin made sure everything was just beautiful and seamless. From getting ready in the gorgeous bridal sweet, to the intimate details at the barn, everything was just perfect. If you want a gorgeous southern wedding with a charming atmosphere, look no further! This is the place. As a couple, we both said we would not have changed a thing.

    Sanctuary Plantation is a one of a kind venue that feels like it was stripped from the pages of Gone with the Wind. The newly renovated barn is the perfect location for a rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, graduation party, or even a corporate event. I highly recommend this venue!

    We had a great time at Sanctuary Plantation! It was absolutely gorgeous, with the vast farm land, the gorgeous home, and the renovated barn. There was a beautiful dance floor area right outside the back of the barn which made for an amazing reception. Would definitely suggest Sanctuary Plantation for weddings and special events!

    Sanctuary Plantation is a phenomenal venue for parties and weddings!!! I was there for a holiday party with a group of friends and had a blast! The house is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful landscaping in the front. The barn is completely renovated to accommodate parties or wedding receptions. It has a very classic yet rustic feel to it, sort of a shabby chic barn design. It is very clean and able to accommodate a large number of guests comfortably. The house and barn are both tucked back off the road so you are surrounded by trees and grass. Very beautiful!!! I would definitely recommend this wedding. There are great pictures on instagram too :) (sanctuary_plantation)

    We contacted them in very short notice (2 weeks) for a Civil Wedding. Robin answered promptly and was very flexible with all of our inquiries. It was very hard for us to get everything arranged since we live abroad (South America). Robin was able to arrange the ceremony, a horse & carriage, a beautiful table setting, cake, Jazz music, a photographer, barman and a a wonderful caterer. She was even prepared to move everything into a gorgeously renovated barn in case it rained. The property is absolutely wonderful. We felt very well taken care of since our first contact. Very low stress! Thanks to Robin we had a wonderful wedding!

    Robin was AMAZING! She was always available anytime I called or needed her. She was always friends, welcoming, and very professional. I went with her inclusive Sanctuary Plantation package. I received an even coordinator, photographer, DJ, catering, flowers, rehearsal, wedding, and reception. Our day was magical. Robin and her coordinator Cindy made sure my day was stress free and beautiful. We decided to get married in her front garden. Her home is absolutely beautiful, and her barn is the most beautiful barn in all of North Georgia (Trust me….I’ve seen just about all of them). She is very reasonably priced, and willing to help with any additional accommodations. I have recommended Robin to all of my friends and family in the Cleveland, GA area.

    It was my son's wedding and he and his bride were extremely pleased. The venue is remarkable and more than sufficient for a formal wedding. The grounds were well kept, the facilities were more than adequate, and Robin, the owner, was extremely gracious and very astute to the expectations of having a great wedding. The price was reasonable, all of the services provided were far in excess of average. All the needs of the participants were tended to with professionalism.

    My class wanted to upgrade from the last class reunion and Sanctuary Plantation was way above what anyone expected. The facility was amazing, decorated so beautifully and Robin was a delight to work with. This 40th reunion will be very hard to beat. It also made me look pretty darn good. The class of 1974 says a huge thank you to Robin and Sanctuary Plantation.

    Sanctuary Plantation is a beautiful venue! I found it after the first venue I chose accidentally double booked my date, and I ended up with a MUCH better location for my wedding. Robin was a joy to work with! She was helpful, kind, flexible so much fun! My husband and I were able to make last minute changes without being charged fees like most venues. Robin did everything she could to make sure our day was wonderful and just the way we wanted it! I highly recommend this venue!

    We just hosted our daughters wedding at Sanctuary this past weekend. It was wonderful! And we received so many compliments from our guests. They loved the location, the house, the barn - it was fabulous and fun. The property is just beautiful. Mother Nature cooperated and the outside ceremony couldn't have been better!
    Robin, the owner, was very accommodating for all our requests and did the ceremony and reception set up exactly how the bride wanted everything to be- and it turned out perfect!

    We hope to be back - attending other events and friends weddings. Thanks Robin!

    Sanctuary Plantation was my dream wedding venue! Gone with the Wind has always been a favorite of mine, so this southern belle wedding venue couldn't have been more perfect! Robin was great to work with and very flexible! We were the first couple to get to experience the barn, and she worked above and beyond to ensure everything was ready for us down to the smallest detail. The only decorations I even used were my centerpieces. The entire venue is amazingly beautiful, you don't need anything else. Robin was very open to my ideas and gave me several ideas of her own. She even helped me to get a horse and carriage last minute to really fulfill my vision. The ceremony was in front of the house with the gorgeous columns in the background. The reception was in the barn and dancing was under the stars. You can not go wrong with choosing Sanctuary Plantation. If you haven't planned a visit, do it now! This venue is new and once people really start to discover it's beauty, I can imagine it's going to be hard to book. The best compliment I received about my wedding at Sanctuary Plantation was that it was just like a fairy tale, and it truly was. I could not have chosen a better venue. Thanks Robin!

    This venue was the perfect place for my Daughter Alyssa's wedding. Robin Kinsey the owner of the Venue was absolutley wonderful and very easy to work with. Robin went beyond all expectations to make sure this special day was perfect in every way. I can not say enough about how beautiful this venue is either. You have to see it to believe it. I still have people coming up to me to tell me how beautiful the setting was and how spectacular the wedding was. The perfect backdrop for a North Georgia Wedding!!!!!!

    Beautiful property! I fell in love the first visit we had! The property is gorgeous, and the barn was incredible! It is a very elegant and timeless venue. My pictures looked amazing and Robin was fantastic! She answered every question we had very quickly! The bridal suite was very spacious and everything I needed to be comfortable day-of. The guys had a lot of fun with the T.V. and hanging out in the top of the barn before the ceremony. I would book it again if I could! :)

    Perfect wedding

    My daughter and I could not have been happier with all of the services provided by the staff at Sanctuary Estates.
    Despite an early morning storm with even a small tornado, Robin had the venue was all cleaned up and ready for the four o clock wedding. Cindy, the wedding planner orchestrated everything perfectly and the food and flowers were fantastic. It was simply...perfect.

    Wedding Venue

    The initial visits were fine. The venue only use one caterer for food, decor, cake and flowers. I paid for upgrade from the basic package and was disappointed. The food tasting was not tasty and at the wedding. The decor was not what we showed in pictures. The owner was not present at tasting, wedding rehearsal and the wedding. Some of things discussed did not happen. Very disappointed and we can’t get the experience back. I have so much to say but getting depressed thinking about the wedding day.
