The State Botanical Garden of Georgia wedding venue

The State Botanical Garden is 313 acres on South Milledge, three miles from downtown. Ceremonies are in the Day Chapel, with its cathedral ceiling and windows onto the forest. Receptions use the hall downstairs or other rooms on the grounds.

The chapel carries sound well, so we keep ceremony audio light and clean there. Then we set up the reception room for dancing.
