My husband and I strongly advise against choosing this venue for your wedding or any other event.
The management team, including the owner, canceled our wedding just 30 days befo...
re the event without issuing a refund, despite us having paid $6,200 over 8 months. We had initially booked for a larger guest list and reception but decided to scale down to a smaller, ceremony-only event. We notified the senior coordinator 75 days in advance, and the owner initially agreed to waive our final payment, which we appreciated given the reduced scale of our event.
However, as the date approached, we were wrongly accused of non-payment and faced multiple issues with the venue's management. Despite our repeated efforts to resolve the situation and even agreeing to make the payment they had previously waived, the venue canceled our booking entirely, leaving us without a location or refund.
This experience was extremely distressing and financially damaging, as we lost not only the venue fees but also associated costs such as travel and decor. Thankfully, we were able to have a beautiful ceremony elsewhere, but we want others to be aware of the poor treatment we received here.
They take your money I put $2000 down on a wedding had death in my family. Do not have a heart. I called them to let them know that I had death in my family and they took my money ...
and said that I lost the right to the place And then told me if I decide to book it on the date that they want my wedding on that day choose the date and I will have to pay half 7000 now but let you know that I paid them $2000 so to me, they are a crook We’re not refer them to new body
I love them! I just had my wedding there 4.22.23 and from the every beginning of booking the venue, they were amazing!!! Alvina the property manager is the absolute BEST!! They’re ...
so helpful if you need anything from finding the very little things to the major ones. My wedding was a fairy tale and they made it happen. I tell everyone who’s looking for a venue for anything to go to them I’d highly recommend! 100/10!!!!
The venue is beautiful and the staff, AMAZING. It is clear the our coordinator Tracy absolutely LOVES her job. She took my simple ideas and turned them into a beautiful design. ...
I am still getting compliments on the beauty of it all. Job well done!
Giving the Vines 2 stars for several reasons. The venue was taken over by a company called Crystal Ballrooms out of Florida during the middle of our wedding planning in the early p...
art of 2022. The venue is older and some updates have been made but they need to do a larger overhaul of the space. Cobwebs were everywhere. At our initial meeting with them, we felt they would do a wonderful job but that quickly changed. Every meeting became a game of lies. They would promise one thing and the next meeting they would deny they were capable of providing the same service they agreed to at the prior meeting. The contracts will say one thing and they will do another. It became incredibly confusing and disheartening as the previous management were very trustworthy. We tried every approach to understand what was being provided. They do not listen to what the bride and groom request. They repeat over and over that it is a choreographed event and seem to have zero desire to honor the couples wishes or their preferred timeline of events. Another issue we experienced is their lack of good customer service on the day of the wedding. Each individual employed seemed unhappy to be working there. The bride and groom were served a half a plate of food from their on site coordinator. Didn't even bother to give them a full plate of food. The bar staff seemed irritated to be serving most of the evening and at last call which they firmly stated they don't normally do which is totally unacceptable. The couple paid the bar staff for the evening and they should at the very least serve drinks until the cut off time. (bar staff is in your contract) The Vines needs to hire staff who ENJOY putting on events! Another point of note, do not have them design the outside ceremony area. It was basic at best. Hire an outside vendor to beautify that space. The Vines repeatedly told us it would be nice but wouldn't give us a design overview of that area. Once again, empty promises. You will not know what the venue will look like before your wedding. There is not a walk thru of the design the day before. We were also rushed during the entire day of the wedding. Overall not a very good experience on a day that should be a happy occasion. Make sure you get what your contract states and hold them to your desired décor. Confirm everything in writing as their "word" means absolutely nothing. Once they receive your money, you are trapped with their version of details. I would not use their location again unless their management changed.
I would highly recommend Vines Mansion! The venue is BEAUTIFUL, with a ton of different locations for pictures. They have multiple offerings for the ceremony, both inside and outsi...
de, which was perfect for our wedding since it rained the day of. The staff was great and our coordinator made sure I was not stressed at all. We were able to get ready, take pictures, have the ceremony and reception all in one place which was so convenient! I know 2020 has been a very stressful year for brides, so I would not have been able to get through everything without Vines. It was great to know that our venue was flexible and understanding throughout the whole planning process. I would recommend Vines to any bride!
I couldn't have imaged a better place to have my wedding. After our original wedding venue canceled on us because of COVID restrictions, we were able to re-plan our big way with Vi...
nes Mansion in under 6 weeks! The staff are incredibly organized, responsive, helpful and resourceful, and I cannot emphasize that enough. When a storm blew through the area the night before our wedding and all our outdoor decor was soaked the morning of, EVERY SINGLE PERSON came through to help my family clean/dry up and make sure it was ready for the ceremony. All our guests said they received incredible service and the event ran so smoothly, I couldn't imagine anything better. I would recommend Vines Mansion any day. And the beautiful venue and gardens are a plus, of course :)
The venue was beautiful. The team was professional. Christa was awesome, at the last minute she stepped in to coordinate our wedding after a horrible experience with another coordi...
nator. Christa had valuable input, she didn’t get offended when we changed things. The day of the wedding she made sure I (the bride) was not stressed out (I wasn’t). She made sure the wedding ran as we scheduled it. She helped the bridesmaids put up signs. I remember sitting in the chair getting my hair done and someone asked me where something was, Christa came out of nowhere and told them she would find it before I could say a word. Sure enough, the day went as planned, it was smooth and prefect. I would highly recommend The Vines!! We look forward to having another event there. The pictures with the venue in the back ground turned out amazing!
"As an Event planner, I am always looking for locations that I can offer to my brides and grooms-to-be. The very first time I visited Vine Mansion I was totally blown away by its ...
charm. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of working with Christa on a wedding. She is absolutely the Best! she was always available for any questions I had as for as décor dos and don’ts at the mansion.
The Vine Mansion is gorgeous and offers lots of options for different size weddings and offers multiple options for both the ceremony and reception to take place. Christa took her time to spotlight the most delightful areas and charms of the mansion.
It was an absolute delight to work with Christa and look forward to introducing many more brides and grooms-to-be to this one of a kind event location!
Christa thank you for being so accommodating to Effulgence Event Services. I am so looking forward to working with you again!"
Thanks again for a wonderful experience.

We loved having our wedding at the Vines! The staff was very kind, and they worked with us A LOT to make our day as flawless as possible. Christa especially gave us so many ideas a...
bout where to do certain special touches and what works best in the venue. She spent a lot of time patiently working with us and even stayed late for our rehearsal that ran over. Our favorite thing about Vines is their flexibility to bring all your own decorations unlike some venues that require you to use their design teams and caterer only. This helped us create a more affordable wedding at a BEAUTIFUL venue.
This place is absolutely GORGEOUS and the Vines staff is wonderful. Christa, Barb, and Jennifer were so helpful and super sweet. I knew this was the place I wanted to have my weddi...
ng as soon as I walked through the door. From the stunning grand foyer to the beautiful koi pond, the Vines is spectacular with a breathtaking view. It was everything I was looking for in a wedding venue. My wedding was held on the garden side and the landscaping was exquisite. The guests were impressed and I'm sure it left a lasting memory on everyone for years to come. If you haven't found the perfect place for your wedding yet, check out the Vines. You won't be disappointed.
Everyone at Vines Mansion was very accommodating and fantastic to work with. Everything from planning the wedding itself to the day of went very smoothly because of the excellent s...
taff. We worked with Barb the most and she was phenomenal in helping us decide on how and where we wanted the different parts of the wedding and reception to take place. The facility itself is beautiful, and the view outside is gorgeous. The natural lighting through the windows is really great for inside photos.
I have attended two weddings at the Vines Mansion. One was for only 75 people. The other was for a very large wedding. It had to be close to 300 people. It amazed me that they wer...
e both were so wonderful. The setting for the smaller reception was beautiful and perfect. It kept everyone close so that mingling was easy. However, I did not feel crowded at the larger wedding. It used the whole house and the veranda deck.
I have been looking for a venue for our wedding. I visited the Vines Mansion and loved it. My mother loved it to, but we decided to look at a few more places. I then attended a...
wedding there and it was even more beautiful than I had imagined. It looked like rain and ceremony would have to be moved inside. The ballroom has large crystal chandeliers and rows of tall windows looking into the Estate Gardens.
Fortunately, the rain let up and the ceremony was held in the Arbor Patio. The bridal procession came across a trellised walkway and down the stairway to to the Arbor Patio. It was fabulous! I had tears in y eyes. I imagined it was me and Alex.
We really enjoyed having cocktails on the Veranda and dining in the Mansion
The venue and day was perfect. I also got to see first hand how great the staff is at the Vines Mansion. They were perfect too.
I attended the Vines Mansion for a 50 year wedding anniversary reception. The couple got the most beautiful reception looking over the garden’s blooming flowers and stunning lake. ...
When I got the chance I saw the propety’s spacious veranda!!!!

s. We used to walk around the botanical gardens in the back with beautiful flowers, fountains, a pond a bridge. It is beautiful. I would have never imagined that I would have gotten married there!!! Fast forward 7 years and I was looking for venues to marry the love of my life! And we found it! Vines made sure our day was perfect! Throughout the whole process Pam and Krista were so helpful! I was clueless when it came to certain details about a wedding and they made sure that I had everything figured out and they gave their suggestions and made the day so easy! VInes also is a place where you can choose your own vendors! We got to bring our own alcohol, caterer, DJ, photographer. When we were looking at venues in the beginning that was something that we came across a lot, venues not letting you choose who you want to work with and have to chose someone within their list (and they may not be in budget). Vines does have a preferred venues list but you do not have to use it - just suggestions with people who they have worked well with and trust previously). If anything, go and tour vines - look on their website and give them a call to set up a tour. I am confident that you will fall in love with the venue like I did!
The staff really took care of us. Our cake was delivered and was starting to melt. Then, it sitting by a window, continued to melt. We didn’t even know about this. It all happened ...
behind the Scenes. The staff called our cake vendor and had them bring us a cake that looked nice for our special day. Everything was done before we even knew about it.
The place is already so nice looking, we barely needed to decorate. We did a few things to fit our wedding theme, but otherwise, we didn’t need to add anything. Everything went so smoothly because the staff handled everything. From lining us up, having tables and chairs set up, having weather contingency plans, everything. They helped make our big day as magical as it could have been.
Vines is so beautiful inside and outside! There were so many different location options we could choose from regarding the placement of our ceremony and reception. The staff was so...
friendly and helpful with everything we needed on our special day.
The venue is great and the gardens are great for pictures and outdoor ceremonies. The staff was very attentive and made my wedding day relaxing and wonderful.
My son and daughter- in-law chose Vines Mansion for their wedding venue and from my perspective, they chose a perfect place. I was proud of how everything turned out, and I had so ...
many people tell me that it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. I have already recommended Vines Mansion to a neighbor looking for a outdoor wedding site with lots of picture opportunities. The pictures of the wedding that were taken by a photographer recommended by Vines Mansion are so beautiful. I attribute that to a beautiful bride, beautiful venue and outstanding photographer recommendation. As a parent and going with the couple to check out other venues, I felt we received a lot of value by having the wedding at Vines Mansion . Thank you to for helping us have such a fabulous event.

area for dancing. The mansion was a spectacular place for pictures, including a fountain and many beautiful locations. The staff was very accommodating and pleasant knowing how to create great memories for a wonderful event.
My little sister got married at the Vines Mansion and it was a night to remember, the venue is amazing and the staff was wonderful to work with
Our wedding is a night that I wish I could relive all over again!!! The staff at Vines were very accommodating and my guests loved the mansion and the grounds. I toured several ven...
ues in Gwinnett before I decided on Vines. I chose Vines mainly because you were allowed to select your own vendors and bring in your own alcohol. Many of the highly rated venues in Gwinnett charged an arm & a leg for food and alcohol. I liked the flexibility of Vines and the beauty of the grounds because I wanted an outside ceremony. Christa Bellew was very helpful and organized, she recommended great vendors. I also worked with a separate wedding planner who directed my reception and having her there for the evening and Christa there to direct my ceremony made my wedding flawless. My guests commented over & over again on how much they enjoyed the wedding and the venue. My only wish is that the evening could have lasted longer!!! Highly recommended!
Let me first start this review by stating that the Vines Mansion is a beautiful place to have a wedding- the mansion and the gardens set such a romantic setting. Let me also state ...
that our sales coordinator, Barb was a wonderful woman that my daughter, the bride, and I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know and care about. You could tell that she wanted to do anything that she could to make this wedding both easy, straight forward and flawless. She is great. The rest of this review is a story and you determine if this place is the place you want to have your special day.
My daughter’s wedding was an evening wedding out by the arbor. We were told to provide the isle runner and advised of the double sided carpet tape that would be needed to hold the runner in place. We purchased double sided carpet tape from one of the home improvement stores, nothing special, nothing heavy duty. After the wedding, family and guests went to the house for the reception and dinner. As the dinner was ending, my sister was approached, unbeknown to me, by the “grounds keeper”- he later told me he was not maintenance- that there was a problem that when the isle runner was pulled up that some of the tape adhesive had stuck to the concrete and to some of the wooden deck. He told her that the general manager had been called and that pictures had been taken regarding this matter. Because his manner was somewhat calculated for battle, my sister left the party and went back to the arbor. There was adhesive and it did need to be removed. Through the entire process of almost a year long commitment to the Vines, my daughter and I had followed all The Vines rules and timelines, and as the fun reception was going on, we had never shown ourselves to be irresponsible or reckless. With the General Manager in tow via phone calls and pictures secured, my sister and fiancé missed out on most all of the party. I did not get to see my daughter throw her bouquet or the groom the garter. Instead I was sitting on the grey deck board making sure that the “groundskeeper” who was on the phone with the GM was pleased with everyone’s effort to remove this adhesive. Please do not misunderstand and think that it was something for us to ignore but at my daughter’s wedding, in that moment, this wedding venue missed the mark. As I sat on the ground, in a full length dress, looking down at grey chipped paint on wood boards and a white wooden arbor that could surely use some fresh white paint; I wonder why this was how they wanted to handle this. The setting is surely beautiful, Barb is wonderful, you decide for yourself if this is the place for you.
The Vines did a great job with everything the venue is set on a beautiful botanical gardens and the house for the reception is gorgeous! Great price for everything that you get! We...
had an amazing wedding there with NO hiccups! The staff is super friendly and helpful!

f the lake and flowers and the arbor was perfect for my Spring wedding. The staff was accommodating even after I made a few last minute changes and things moved along very smoothly. If you don't live in the area, it is quite far, but if beautiful outdoor wedding is what you're looking for, I definitely suggest Vines Mansion!

s Vines Mansion. They had just re-opened for business about a month before our wedding, April 11, 2009. The staff was very accomadating. I had always wanted to have an outside wedding surrounded by a beautiful landscape and Vines Mansion was the place for me! I loved the inside of the mansion as well, since the reception areas have tons of windows our guests were able to enjoy the view of the gardens while we celebrated. We took a look at several other properties, but the problem we were running into was a lot of them were still decorated in a southern look (i.e. floral walls, carpets) etc. But Vines Mansion had a very modern feel to it with their solid walls and floors we didn't have to worry about anything clashing with our decorations. If you are looking for a venue where you can have both your ceremony and reception I would recommend you go with Vines Mansion.
We only used the outdoor patio for ceremony, but it was gorgeous! The view is amazing! Also the management is very helpful and flexible with your needs! I absolutely loved it - don...
