1. Choose a Venue That Reflects You


Whether you're dreaming of a rustic barn celebration or a peaceful outdoor ceremony under our Georgia pines, your venue should feel like you. At SpringHaus Farm, couples fall in love with our 5,000-square-foot white oak barn, open-air patio, and picturesque pine tree ceremony space.

Owner advice: Schedule a tour early, especially if you're looking at popular dates like spring or fall in North Georgia!


2. Think Local for Vendors


Athens is home to incredibly talented photographers, caterers, florists, and DJs. By choosing local, you’ll often save on travel fees and get pros who know the ins and outs of venues like SpringHaus Farm and once you are a couple at SpringHaus, they have an amazing Booked Couples Resource Guide that showers you with vendors they love.


We’ve built strong relationships with some amazing "friendors" as we call them, vendors who love working our space, but you don't HAVE to use them. You are welcome to use whichever vendor you choose as long as they have insurance and follow our rules of treating our couples like family!

3. Plan for the Weather—But Embrace the Outdoors


Georgia weather can be beautifully unpredictable. That’s why SpringHaus Farm offers indoor and outdoor spaces that give you flexibility and peace of mind. Our spacious barn provide shelter while keeping the natural charm you love.

4. Make Time for Golden Hour Photos


Athens sunsets are something special, and at SpringHaus Farm, the golden hour light is absolutely magical across the sky and barn wood. Carve out time just before sunset for portraits. Your future self will thank you when you see the photos!

5. Personalize Every Moment


From signature drinks from Hooley's Bar (our SpringHaus Farm bar in which our best seller is our Haus Margarita, all of our couples LOVE it!), but you can choose a drink that represents your specific love story to curated playlists and heartfelt vows, it’s the small touches that make your day truly yours. But we do encourage couples to decorate the barn, ceremony space, and even our patio area in a way that speaks to your style and vision.


Need ideas? We’ve seen everything from boho floral installations to vintage lanterns and classic string lights—and it all works beautifully here.
