Payne Corley House

thing was so perfect. There is no detail they have not thought of and they execute it seamlessly. Side note - the venue handles all the food, alcohol, decorations and flowers - which makes everything so incredibly easy and they are all expert level. Bryana and Hope as well as the rest of the staff works really hard to make your wedding day exactly the way you always dreamed of. Bryana and Hope were incredibly responsive and were always quick to answer our questions or offer suggestions. The bridal suite and lounge were such a nice touch, which made it easy for my girls and I to get ready and the lunch the chef prepared was outstanding. My husband also really enjoyed the grooms cottage - which is set up for the guys to be able to relax and hang out for the day. In other words - do the full day package - its PERFECT! I'll be honest - I was a little anxious the day before and Bryana brought me back down to reality quickly, professionally and nicely. The day of, she was there to make sure everything went smoothly and believe me - she is an absolute gem. She made sure that we ate, got us outside for our sunset photos, made sure the cake cutting went on time and all the other details that I never would have been able to keep track of. I cannot say enough good things about Bryana - plus she has the best personality. I had many friends say this was one of the best weddings they have ever been to and hands down the BEST food at any wedding ever. Our wedding was everything we ever dreamed of and it is all thanks to the Payne-Corley house. If I could go back and do my wedding again - I would! I would recommend the PCH to anyone and if I could give them more than 5 stars I would.

oing better. The staff made sure everyone stayed hydrated in the heat, the ceremony venue was decorated beautifully, the grounds for the pictures was gorgeous, I could go on for hours. My wife and I also appreciated receiving the hors d'oeuvres even while we were taking pictures after the ceremony. The reception was equally amazing. We were heavily encouraged to make sure to eat, which was helpful since I know my wife easily could have forgotten with all the excitement. Our guests consistently praised the food as some of the best they have ever had at a wedding, and I fully agree, it was delicious. From that point, Jen was on top of everything to ensure we covered things like cake cutting and wedding games while also maximizing time to dancing. After everything, they prepared us a goodie bag with cake and snacks which was a wonderful treat when we got to our hotel. Everything I have covered still doesn't do Payne-Corley justice. The event was absolutely magical and could not have been as amazing as it was without the consistent above-and-beyond approach of everyone at Payne-Corely. On behalf of my Wife and everyone attending, thank you.

, alcohol, provides a day of coordinator and has a contract with a floral and décor company which was ideal for someone who works full time and does not live near the venue. The food was delicious, and the staff really works hard to make your wedding customized for you. Krista, the owner took me on my first tour and I knew immediately that this was the place. The house itself has so much charm, and the grounds are beautiful and well maintained. There are three ceremony sites to choose from, one of which was inside which was ideal with unpredictable Georgia weather. The upstairs has recently been remodeled into a getting ready area and lounge room for the bridal party, and there is a groom’s house on the property for the rest of the wedding party to hang out in. It is actually decorated and has space to hang out, which is kind of rare for venues in our area….I feel like everywhere else we went there wasn’t a comfortable, fun place for the groom and groomsman to get ready. We did the full day package, and the chef provided us with lunch which was amazing. Hope, the director of sales was always quick to answer questions and provide us with information while planning and was on site to greet us on the day of. Lori-Anne, our day of coordinator was such a joy, she was so kind and thoughtful and really helped make our big day perfect. 11/10 would recommend this venue, it was as stress free as wedding planning can possibly be, and the entire experience was lovely and amazing.

are covered, so weather is no issue. The ability to decorate to your liking offers flexibility that other venues don't. Last, the staff made the selection process, agenda, drop off and placement of items very easy. I will definitely use and refer others here because of my experience.

questions to help us feel comfortable booking. Krista is the most organized yet easygoing coordinator I’ve met. She helped our day run so, so smoothly and took away a lot of stress! And our guests are still craving Michael’s food. Truly, we have friends text us and say they wish they could pick-up his Chinese to-go boxes for dinner. Payne-Corley gave us the wedding of our dreams and we are so thankful! If you’re looking for a venue that will support you and provide flexibility to make the day yours, look no further!

My bridesmaids and I got ready in the beautiful Bridal Suite the morning of our wedding. Payne Corley provided us with a tasty lunch that fueled us until dinner! The team set up all of my DIY projects around and made the space look exactly as I had envisioned. They didn't even think I was crazy when I asked if they could hold a run-through sign for mine and my husband's reception entry. The food was EXCELLENT! People cannot stop talking about how delicious it was, saying it was "the best wedding food they had ever had!" The day was absolutely perfect and relaxing! We were able to truly enjoy our day without worrying if things were going as planned. Krista, Chef Michael, Hope, and everyone else at Payne Corley are phenomenal! We cannot recommend Payne Corley House enough! We wish we could relive the amazingness of our wedding day every day! Truly the best wedding venue you will find!

ake it a one stop venue! It was amazing to only have to deal with one or two point person(s) for the biggest vendors which made communication seamless. From Hope helping us with our initial inquiries to finalizing our proposal to the perfect hand off to our wedding planner Krista (also the owner of the venue) all the way to the moment when each one of them jumped in to help find a replacement when our photographer was a no-show. As a bride I felt taken care of every step of the way; as a person I felt respected and understood. Everyone at The Payne Corley House is professional, kind, and confident! They really went above and beyond for us! If I could give 10 stars I would!

ravel anywhere. They provided us with lunch while we were getting ready and Hope made sure everything was taken care of throughout the day. She was very patient with me and answered all my questions very promptly while planning - and I had a ton of questions! We also had Abby's at the Cottage floral which was fabulous and Krista who I worked with there is super sweet. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better day! It went above and beyond my expectations! Thank you to everyone who made it so special for us! :)

he food is bar none. All of the event staff are helpful, cheerful, kind, and make the day beyond one of dreams. Krista helped make the day go smoothly. From in house floral work to the final goodbye I will always be thankful we chose Payne-Corley. Don’t hesitate to use this venue for any special event. I will cherish my wedding under the tree and dancing in the ballroom forever.

g was too much trouble. As for the food, Michael is an amazing chef. Everything from the hors d'oeuvres, platted filet mignon & Pecan encrusted chicken to the dessert buffet was absolutely delicious! So many compliments from all our guests. Thank you Krista and Michael for making this special day so memorable

rista were great at answering all of my questions along the way. We also loved having our rehearsal dinner at The Cottage where our guests raved about how great the food was. All our family and friends had an amazing time and we couldn’t be more grateful for a venue that holds such a special place in our hearts now.

nd professional. I would recommend this venue again and again. Thank you for making our wedding everything we wanted and more!

end Payne-Corley to anyone in search of a wedding venue.

so many questions and changes during planning) and also offered my family members to attend the food & beverage showcase since we could not make it in person. It can be stressful planning your wedding from a different state but they made the planning such a wonderful experience. I think planning experience is an important part of your special wedding and I really appreciated their help and support. I could not have done it without Krista and Hope. Our guests loved the food and the flower/decorations were so perfect and beautiful. I would highly recommend PCH if you are looking for a small-medium size wedding!

sy to work with and the day of was as perfect as we could have imagined! Special thanks to Karli and Bryana for making sure everything was picture perfect!

ng if the forecast changes last minute! Michael is an extremely talented chef and made truly excellent dishes including passed hors d'oeuvres, salads, a chicken, steak, and vegetarian entrée option, and sides. Our guests raved about the food! Krista and Bryana - our designated day of coordinator - were wonderful in helping our vision come to life and made our day run smoothly and beautifully! The whole team was responsive, flexible with our wants and needs, and made the whole experience wonderful from start to finish! We wouldn't change a thing! We absolutely 100% recommend PCH for your wedding/special event!

ough all the craziness that comes with a wedding. Krista and her team made a day that is often described as stressful, a day that was special, memorable, and enjoyable. The attention to detail was second to none, and all the staff were so kind and helpful. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a fabulous wedding venue!

g, reception or both! It southern charm captivates you the moment you pull into the driveway! The oldest living Saucer Magnolia tree in the state of Georgia greets you at the front. Upon entry into the front door, a magnificent vintage home, warm and cozy, with all the elements of hardwood floors, candelabra light fixtures, gorgeous decorations and layout are descriptive of a blast from the past. The appetizers and food choices was nothing short of spectacular! Days after our wedding, my guests are still raving about the bacon wrapped scallops, filet and pecan crusted chicken. Even people with allergies were handled with specific care! I have NEVER been to an establishment in all my many years of weddings, to receive such kind, attentive and professional people from the kitchen staff to the Chef. A small alcove in the reception hall is the perfect host for entertainment. Even more significant is that I could not have asked for a more worthy Wedding Coordinator and Owner, Krista, along with, Hope, the Director of Sales, to keep me sane and fulfill our reception dreams. A everlasting memory of family, friends, fun and food to delight us forever. It was simply perfection!

oothly, they are experts leaving us in good hands. Due to considerations with COVID-19 and costs, my now-husband and I decided on the micro-wedding package as it was a perfect blend between a small, intimate gathering and a fun, glamorous celebration. It also had all the necessary bells and whistles, which was fine with us as we wanted the entire thing to be simple and enjoyable. We had the pleasure of meeting Krista, one of the owners of PCH. She was also cordial, funny, and was our first point of contact when we were choosing venues. Touring the facilities, we understood why people raved so much about this place - everything is absolutely beautiful! From the house to the fields along the huge magnolia tree, there are so many places that make for amazing backdrops. Already we knew this place won our hearts. Hope became our coordinator and she was lovely, informative, and helpful. She was our go-to for any concerns, questions, and ideas; and she’s entertained them with enthusiasm. On the days leading to our wedding, she was on top of things regarding vendors, designs, and timelines. It’s certainly a sigh of relief for any bride to have things taken care of while you relax on your big day. Looking back on our wedding day, I can say with confidence that PCH made the experience everything I’ve dreamed of. The florals, thanks to Abby’s at the Cottage, looked fresh and beautiful; the pavilion, which served as our altar, looked amazing; and overall, the feel of the entire thing just felt light, airy, and happy - all things I longed to see and feel. We had our ceremony outdoors by the pavilion and our reception inside. Our guests raved so much about the atmosphere and of course, the food. Chef Michael, also one of the other owners of PCH, truly made some flavorful, amazing dishes. We had chicken and waffles as well as twice baked potatoes for cocktail hour. And for our entree, we had pecan-crusted chicken and grilled corn and grit cakes - wow, I was blown away at how delicious everything was! For dessert, we had a nice vanilla cake from PCH and even had a bananas foster station on the side. Happy bellies make for happy guests! I try really hard to look for cons, but there isn’t anything major I can think of. They say your wedding day goes by fast, so sometimes I wish the night went on for longer as we were having so much fun. I still dream of the big day and how magical and perfect everything was - all thanks to PCH.

PCH was very good to us on the planning and replanning of the wedding. The staff was exceptional and everyone was so helpful . Thank you Hope for showing us around PCH the first time we visited, and then helping us on the special day - Thank you PCH

chose them over other nearby venues because they were so much more attentive. You don't just need a beautiful venue, but you need a reliable and caring team for your wedding day! We loved PCH!
