I cannot say enough amazing things about Lillian Gardens!!! They helped us plan a wedding in two months that was MAGICAL, BEAUTIFUL, and STRESS FREE. They were so kind and thought...
ful through our entire journey with them and made all of our dreams come true. It started to look like it could rain on our big day and they moved SO quick to put up a tent in a way that was still beautiful and functional. They also answered all of our silly and random question any time we had them. I would pick Lillian Gardens a million times over with how amazing they were. If you’re wondering if this is the venue for you, just know that you have. Lillian Gardens holds a special place in our hearts forever!

We got the Classic package that included food, wine and beer, access to the venue for 8 hours and service.
First the venue is absolutely beautiful. From the ceremony garden to the ...
courtyard to the entire house- interior and exterior was lovely. There was no shortage of places to take photos. We had 43 guests and the venue was the perfect size for our group. It didn’t feel too small or too big. The atmosphere is elegant, cozy, intimate and so so charming. There was also ample parking right across the street and they even provided a parking attendant to stop traffic so our guests could safely and comfortably cross. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the venue. We also didn’t feel the need to set up a lot of florals for the ceremony and courtyard cocktail hour because the greenery and garden was so beautiful as is. We weee also able to bring photos to decorate the house. It really gave it a cozy feel. The location was also great because it is only 30 minutes west of the Atlanta airport-making it an easy drive for the out of towners to avoid the traffic when going north closer to Atlanta. In terms of the value, you get so much for the price and the price was well within our budget. LG was also flexible in helping you reach your budget. For example, I wanted a table scape of candles and flowers and was able to bring my own to save a bit of money and they even set up the tables with our decor and packed it up and loaded it for us at the end of the night. The wine and beverage selection that came with the package was good. Our guests drank so much of the wine that they had run out of wine glasses and had to serve on plastic cups. The service was a 10/10. I expected a hiccup or two but everything went so smoothly. Stephanie did a wonderful job, taking care of everything and making me feel at ease on the day. My friend who has also coordinated many wedding commented on how excellent the service was. The staff were great at quickly setting up, serving and clearing tables. The only downside was that at the time we signed up they did not do any food tastings so there was uncertainty on how the food would look and taste. Also they didn’t seem to have much buffet options we liked- they had a bbq buffet, pasta buffet and a lousiana boil. But they had a lot of delicious sounding hors d’oeuvres and dessert and a huge grazing table that the guest enjoyed,. We ordered the chicken Tuscan buffet and although there was gravy the chicken breasts were ginormous and very dry. We noticed most of our guests could eat much of it and heard it from our guests. We also got the Beef of tenderloin carving station and that was a hit. Our guests praised the beef of tenderloin so we would 100% recommend ordering.
If you re looking for a near stress-free wedding venue with excellent service and the most beautiful property, LG is the way to go.

er perks! I was planning my wedding from out of state so this was an absolute lifesaver. Our coordinator Stephanie made sure everything moved along smoothly the entire process. Another part we loved is that Lillian Gardens hosts open houses where they have their preferred vendors set up and their couples can come and sample everything! There were about 3 vendors from each category that came and it helped making decisions so much easier and gave peace of mind that they were already vetted by the venue! Their in house catering made things so easy and the food was delicious. Our guests thought the venue was absolutely beautiful and it photographed amazingly! 10/10 recommend all around!

ckage, and it was the best decision we made. Every detail was taken care of so we could just relax and enjoy our day.
The garden ceremony was absolutely stunning like something out of a fairytale and the reception with the DJ was an absolute blast. The venue itself is beautiful, full of charm, and every corner is picture-perfect.
Ashley, the owner and our coordinator, was incredible. She made the entire planning process stress-free and was there for us every step of the way. Her attention to detail and calm, confident presence made everything run smoothly. We truly felt cared for.
As a same-sex couple, it meant the world to us that Lillian Gardens is proudly LGBT-friendly. We felt completely welcomed, supported, and celebrated, which made the day that much more meaningful.
If you’re looking for a venue that is not only beautiful but also experienced, inclusive, and truly full-service, look no further than Lillian Gardens. We’re still glowing from our wedding day!

We had our wedding here on 10/15/22 and it was the most magical day I, and many guests have mentioned, have ever experienced. We chose the enchanted package (food, beverage, cake, ...
flowers, ceremony, table/linens, DJ, ) and I would not have changed a thing. When searching for a venue, I wanted more of a package deal so that I didn't have to worry about contacting and coordinating outside vendors myself. Lillian Gardens, specifically my wedding coordinator Stephanie Villegas, made planning my wedding so easy. She kept in contact with me, answered all of my many questions, and kept our big day on track. She took all of my wedding decor and set everything up beautifully. There were honestly no real hiccups the whole day. My favorite parts of the day were the bridal suite for the girls to get ready in (gorgeous lighting and a beautiful space) and the garden/gazebo area where the ceremony was held. We cannot stop smiling about this perfect day, thank you so much Lillian Gardens!

Stephanie, Ashley, Jennifer and everyone else at Lillian Gardens all played such a huge part in bringing my wedding dreams to life. Stephanie walked with me every step of the way, ...
picked up her phone on any given day to answer a question, and gave me complete peace of mind from day 1 all the day to till the end of the wedding. Not only is this the venue itself so dreamy, it was in such a perfect location for our guests to explore downtown Newnan (which they loved). Lillian Gardens and their picture-perfect team not only brought my dream wedding to life but it exceeded beyond even my own expectations. If you are looking to get married in Georgia, this is the place to be.

Few good things came out of 2020, but I CAN say I am glad replanning my wedding was one of them.. Our wedding at Lillian Gardens was nothing short of perfect! I love that the venue...
is full service because I I didn’t have to go through the stress of finding vendors and making sure everything was in order the day of the wedding. Stephanie was our coordinator and she took care of everything from the food to the flowers to the setup of the reception. She even helped get red wine out of my dress (oops!). I honestly can’t say enough about how great she is. She answered ALL of my questions and helped me pick out decor when I couldn’t decide. We chose BBQ and baked chicken for our dinner and all of our guest talked about how great the food was. Especially the baked beans! The venue is absolutely beautiful! The courtyard and garden area are stunning and full of light. The staff setup the ceremony and the reception area the day of the wedding, so I was able to enjoy the day with my mom and bridesmaid. I know every bride says their wedding day was perfect but mine truly was!

We had our “perfect” wedding at Lillian Gardens on March 25, 2017.
The Staff and Decor:
Julio and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Ashley and the staff at...
Lillian Gardens. Ashley and her team were extremely professional and provided over the top customer service. They went above and beyond the call of duty. It's because of Ashley and the staff at Lillian Gardens that we even had a wedding at all! We had less than three months to plan a wedding that would host 170 guests. With one phone call, Ashley came in and saved the day! Within weeks, her staff put together a portfolio of lovely flowers, décor, linens, etc. Everything was perfectly decorated down to the smallest of details. The decorations, linen, flowers, food, etc. for the ceremony and reception were amazing. and we knew we were in good hands. We received wonderful feedback from family and friends on how lovely and creative the decorations were...especially the flowers and bouquets, lighting and the arrangements around the aisle! Most importantly, Ashley and the staff at Lillian Gardens made us feel right at home in their venue. We have already recommended Lillian Gardens to our friends!
The Venue:
This venue is the epitome of southern charm. It is everything you would want for any wedding theme. The old antebellum home has an amazing ballroom and each room has its own personality. The quaint gardens are perfectly tended too. Everytime you turn around there is something new and beautiful that you may have missed the first time you looked.
The Food:
Lillian Gardens has their own in house catering. We were BLOWN away by how wonderful the food was and so were our guests.

They were amazing! I had one month to have everything ready and they nailed it. Stephanie, the wedding coordinator, is a true Fairy Godmother! She was super attentive, caring, and ...
extremely communicative. I chose the Enchanted package due to my short time to plan everything in person. She was awesome! She scheduled the appointments we need to go for the cake, she set up a meeting with Marigold flowers, put us in contact with the DJ, she did everything. In my head for some reason I thought everything would be messy and crazy. Everything was actually really smooth. I was picky about the food, it wasn't my favorite, but the guests loved it, so the food is great. Somethings that came to my knowledge after the wedding were, 1. we didn't have all the people we planned for the food yet had no food left (?), 2. we payed for 73 sparklers, but at the end of the night we had roughly 20 people with us, and we didn't get the sparklers back (?) or a refund for those we didn't use (?).
Besides the points I mentioned before, Stephanie, Doug, and the staff did an awesome job in making my day special. They are a great team. Everything looked like the way I envisioned, even better! Thank you so much Stephanie, and the team working with her!

always a pleasure when a client truly puts their trust in us and let's us really run the day and make it as best as we can for everyone!

Regarding sparklers, I believe they were left by the table with all decor and floral. Feel free to contact at the office and schedule a time to swing by and pick up the remaining sparklers at your convenience. Best wishes!

Wedding planning went off without a hitch with Stephanie's help and support! Stephanie handled all the details from vendors and itinerary down to the wedding design/color details. Day of the wedding- Stephanie made sure that everything went off without a hitch: she verified full guest attendance, grabbed our food, and made sure me and my husband had our time alone together! For food- we had the taco bar and chocolate fountain, both were phenomenal and I would highly recommend both!! In the end, Lillian Gardens made our wedding day perfect beyond our wildest dreams!

Something Special Events has always been a top favorite for my family. Our neighborhood association was formed there as well as our Newnan Carnegie Library Association. Something S...
pecial Events always says “Yes!” to our requests. It is not only a top choice for civic and business programs, it was our pick for our daughter’s wedding reception. The charm and warmth of a landmark home is so much more inviting that a sterile event center. Guests all want to linger awhile.
Our most recent venture into Something Special Events was a Carnegie Library fundraiser – a cooking school featuring Italian cuisine. Since everyone knows and loves Something Special, selling tickets was a breeze! With the great input from the staff and meticulous attention to detail - it all added to Success!

as so accommodating and open to all of our ideas (including squeezing a taco truck from Atlanta into the courtyard). He was truly a pleasure to work with! The historic home is beautiful, it has antique décor, but everything is clean and in good-shape. He is also a master-gardener and the back garden is breath-taking. Something Special offers a beautiful gazebo in the garden for wedding ceremonies; however, we just held our reception there. His catering staff is great, and the food was really delicious. We had heavy appetizers since we also had the food truck. Mike helps take care of everything, including recommending local vendors. He also provided the option of a wedding coordinator (for a great price!) Carol, our coordinator, was so helpful the day of the wedding and helped make sure everything went smoothly. We also used Martin Rudy and his musicians (as recommended by Mike) for background music and they were phenomenal as well. Also the price for the venue and services was extremely reasonable! I can’t say enough good things about Mike and Something Special, they really helped make our wedding day everything I dreamed it would be!

Hi Everyone,
So my mother-in-law was in charge of the rehearsal dinner...she was so stressed about picking the right place too!! When she met with the company Something Special ...
they really did ease her mind! They were so helpful and professional throughout the entire planning process and not to mention the night of. I remember the day before we were still hectically making changes and we added 15 people to the dinner! But much to our surprise they did not mind one bit and were very accommodating! This truly is a special and very very beautiful place. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone for any event, they will do anything they can to make it unique to your event.

I would recommend Something Special Events to anyone interesting in getting married around the Atlanta area. It was perfect for me because of their "wedding package." It covers the...
cost of everything they can do in-house. So catering, pianist, simple linens, cake, photography, wedding coordinators, etc. are all covered and I think all I had to pay for was decorations, flowers, and the DJ. I got money back for not using a pianist. While this is the practical reason for choosing SS, the place is just beautiful. An antebellum home with a garden and ballroom. Gorgeous. On top of all this, Mike Meyers, who runs SS, has such great relationships the other vendors that the event ran so smoothly.
