Magnolia Estate
An elegant garden courtyard set for a wedding reception with long tables and florals

A historic garden estate · Madison, Georgia

Where your forever begins among the magnolias

Weddings and celebrations set in five acres of blooming Southern gardens, an hour east of Atlanta.

Our story

A century-old estate, restored for the moments that matter most

Built in 1912 and tended by the same family for three generations, Magnolia Estate has hosted Sunday suppers, summer reunions, and more than a few proposals beneath its namesake trees. We opened the gardens to couples because love stories deserve a setting this gentle.

Today the grounds host a single celebration at a time — yours, undivided — with the kind of quiet, attentive hospitality that only a family-run estate can offer.

The experience

Everything you need, on five blooming acres

Each celebration includes exclusive use of the estate for the day, so the grounds are yours and yours alone.

The garden grounds

Five acres of formal boxwood gardens, a magnolia allée, and the Rose Walk — all yours for ceremony and portraits.

The Magnolia Pavilion

An open-sided, climate-comfortable pavilion for receptions of up to 250, draped and ready whatever the weather.

Getting-ready suites

A light-filled Bridal Cottage and a relaxed Groom’s Quarters, each with its own private entrance and garden view.

A coordinator on the day

A dedicated Magnolia coordinator runs your timeline so your family can simply be present.

Celebrations of every size

Kind words

Loved by the couples who married here

“We toured five venues and cried at exactly one. The gardens did half the decorating for us, and the coordinator made the day feel effortless.”
Hannah & Will Married in the Rose Garden, October
“Every photo looks like it belongs in a magazine. Our planner said it’s the easiest venue she works with in all of Georgia.”
Priya & Marcus Married on the South Lawn, May
