Patty B. Sent on 11/06/2023The perfect place to host a rehearsal dinner !!
I was looking for a space to host a rehearsal dinner for a wedding. I really didn’t want to do a restaurant setting. I wanted our guests to be able to mingle and talk and enjoy the time together. I came across Lillian Gardens in a google search of Newnan. From the moment I contacted Crystal to get information she gave me everything I needed, she met with us and was so professional. The space was perfect, meal was so good (they have a good selection of menu options) and everyone loved being able to hang out and talk at our leisure. Chocolate Ganache Cake with coffee was the perfect way to finish the evening. The back patio area was perfect for pictures!! -

My wedding this past May at Lillian Gardens was perfect! My wedding planner, Stephanie, did a wonderful job guiding us through the process and made sure no detail was missed. Everything was taken care of on the day of the wedding and allowed everyone to be stress free and enjoy the night. I cannot thank them enough for such a perfect night! -

Crystal was a joy to work with on my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner. From the venue amenities to the menu she was professionally responsive and helpful. The food was delicious. The venue was beautiful. She even called me ahead of time to let me know there was Christmas parade in town and give instructions on the best route and parking for us to avoid congestion. I highly recommend Lillian Gardens AND Crystal. -

I only have 30 characters to write my review when I need over a 1,000. Stephanie Villegas was amazing she is still marked as a favorite in my phone. She was more than just my wedding coordinator she was my listening ear and shoulder to cry on. She made sure all my wishes and desires came to life. I gave her my budget and she made sure we stayed within it. When I tried to go outside of it she brought me back in. When it came to the wedding day she was on time and she kept everything on time. -

My Wedding had to be pushed back because of COVID, Stephanie and Ashley took everything in stride and didn't charge us a rescheduling fee. Then the venue got hit by a tornado, and they worked so hard to put the venue back together for our special day. They were so kind, upbeat, kept us on schedule and overall made it a great experience. The caterer at the venue was sublime. I am still dreaming about the food. They even took into account a few of our guests were gluten intolerant. A great place to get married! -

When I think of Lillian Gardens I think of a couple of things: southern charm; perfection; AMAZING coordinator, cook, and staff! I wanted a low-stress wedding, which made Lillian Gardens "full service venue" that much more desirable and they. brought. it!! I chose "The Enchanted" wedding package, and was paired up with my wedding coordinator, Stephanie. 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! -

Kacia S. Sent on 10/20/2021Beautiful Location & Amazing Staff
My coordinator & the venue owner were very nice and caring throughout my entire experience working with them. From our first meeting to the big day! My coordinator worked with me very well, not only during each of our meeting but also on the big day. She and the venue owner were very patient with me when I was over filled with nerves an felt a little unwell. Even still, they fulfilled my dream wedding to literal perfection. I felt blessed to of had such a wonderful coordinator on my big day an leading up to. The staff on hand too was very kind and considerate toe and all the guests. 10 outa 10 recommend. -

The best choice I could have made
I am a bride who just had my wedding at Lillian gardens. Even in the middle of Covid 19, I have zero complaints. The owner of the venue was my lead coordinator and is a superhero. The price was totally reasonable for what they offer and they streamlined everything. They even have a bridal boutique, it can literally be a one stop shop if you want as they coordinate vendors and have good in house catering. Any issues that arose with vendors or questions I had, all it took was a text to Ashley and everything was resolved. The other staff was kind and doting and the venue is gorgeous. My sister had just gotten married at a place that seemed similar but the experience here was so much smoother. When we needed to move our wedding for Covid we weren't charged a thing, although they would have made our original date work. They changed their own operations to keep our guests safe, serving the buffet with a clear buffer and masks on, checking guest temps, etc. Even though it was a really challenging road getting to our wedding day due to Covid, the day itself was perfect and our guests had a great time. Ashley and her staff made the whole process a lot easier than it could have been and genuinely care. I would recommend this venue to everyone getting married for real if they want the southern vintage charm feel. -

Tayler L. Sent on 07/07/2021Perfect Wedding Day!
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!Lillian Gardens's reply:
Thank you so very much, Tayler, for your fabulous review! You and Justin were our first couple to get married post-tornado and we appreciate you guys so much for sticking with us and believing in us! Your patience and grace was nothing short of amazing.
We wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!
Best!

I recently threw a premiere party for a tv show I was a part of at Lillian Gardens. Ashley and her team were awesome! They were very flexible, accommodating and professional. We held our event in the garden under the twinkling lights, our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the ambiance was! The food was superb, the chef at LG is unbelievable- delicious food that is as beautiful as art. Thanks to everyone at Lillian Gardens for creating the party of the year, that no one can stop talking about! -

I found Lillian Gardens after searching for a while and was mind blown by the incredibly fair price for the location and what all appeared to be offered online. While attempting to book somewhere during Covid seemed impossible- Ashley had a date come available in 2021.
We toured the venue and decided instantly upon meeting her that we would book, the timeless charm of the home was beautiful but you can tell she knows exactly what she is doing. I wanted a venue I could tell what I wanted and be done- and felt I had found that as soon as I toured Lillian Gardens.
I had toured multiple other venues and there is no one with the professionalism or eye that Ashley had. We started on plans and met with Stephanie who helped arrange all of my incredible vendors and sorted out details. She was patient yet led me on what needed to be done and coordinated everything for me.
A catastrophic tornado hit barely 2 months before our wedding and destroyed so much in Newnan.
Lillian Gardens was not excluded from the damage, but you would never know it. I was kept updated and given options on a weekly basis.
They did their best to rebuild what was possible, and it was incredible.
I can honestly say that somehow in the midst of something terrible- they created the most beautiful space. It was not what they were used to and certainly not in the plan.
But it was absolutely amazing. Everything was stunning- I have no idea how they captured the feel of that incredible house in a tent. But they did.
I don’t feel like we missed out on anything.
The staff worked so hard, and just stayed in the background working non stop quietly and professionally.
I used Marigold and Moss as my florist, which was one of their preferred vendors and I feel like she was paired perfectly with the venue. What I had in mind and the feel of the venue was perfectly blended by her arrangements.
To have been faced with such a terrifying situation Lillian Gardens blew every single one of us away.
Everyone knew of the tornado damage and my guests were astonished at what they created in such a short time span.
I told them I wanted a classic, romantic wedding and they exceeded everything I could’ve imagined.
There were so many details that Stephanie and Ashley surprised me with, I never felt a moment of stress even with the tornado damage. Once you meet them- you trust them. I firmly believe no one else could’ve pulled off what they did in the circumstances.
I can not recommend them highly enough. I feel so incredibly blessed to have been able to stumble upon a date that came up.
It felt like OUR wedding, not like we rented a space and decorated it. It genuinely felt like it was made for us and I loved it.Lillian Gardens's reply:
Wow Catherine! Thank you so very much for the amazing review. I literally had chills and teared up while reading. You, your family, and all of your guests were truly a pleasure and we are incredibly thankful you not only chose Lillian Gardens, but you stuck with us through our most challenging time! We cannot thank you enough!
Much love and happiness to you and Dallas!
Best!

This is an absolutely beautiful historic venue in Newnan - The City Of Homes! I was impressed with the level of care they provided for me as a vendor. They went out of their way to make sure I was fed, and refreshed. I can only expect that their care for the clients they serve is top notch based on the quality of service I received as a vendor. I highly recommend this venue for any wedding or special event! -

Whitney H. Sent on 10/31/2019Best decision you'll make after engagement
Lillian Gardens is absolutely wonderful! The venue is beautiful and Ashley (and her whole staff!) create an event that is uniquely your own! My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding. We got to enjoy our dinner, eat our cake, mingle with all our guests, and dance the night away! There are many wedding packages to choose from and Ashley will work with you to make your event affordable! We could not have picked a more perfect venue/business to help with our special day. If you are looking for the perfect place for your wedding, look no further than Lillian's! They go above and beyond your expectations! I can't wait to use them again in our future! -

I'm late posting this but I cannot say enough about how amazing Lillian Gardens was for my wedding! Ashley and her team were so attentive and helpful through the whole planning process. The venue is so beautiful and perfect for all those getting ready pictures! The food was delicious and everyone talked about how good it was, and they were so accommodating with dietary restrictions. So much goes into a wedding and Ashley and her team were incredible at keeping us on track and making suggestions (that were awesome!). We couldn't have asked for a better venue and I'm so thankful we chose Lillian Gardens! -

Very nice and flexible
This year there have been so many changes due to Covid 19. We had to reschedule the wedding three different times. But thanks to Lillian Gardens we were able to finally pull it off.
We had the ceremony and the reception on different days, but after it was all over I am glad that my wedding planner suggested doing that.
We had a more private time with our families for the ceremony. And a month after that was the reception, which we had time to socialize with our friends.
I had a Beauty and the Beast theme and Lillian Gardens was really able to bring out the magic for the wedding. Even down to making the teacup watermelon fruit bowl.
If you ever had a question that needed answering or just needed to change things around Lillian Gardens always responded very quickly. -

Lillian Gardens is truly something special and made our day more amazing than we could have ever imagined! We were lucky enough to host our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception at the venue. From the moment we toured the venue and met the owner Ashley, we knew this was the place we wanted to hold our wedding. The antebellum home venue is truly a dream with the beautiful garden, gazebo and courtyard and stylish inside decor. Our coordinator, Stephanie, was the BEST and I mean the BEST! She truly got our bold vision and made everything come together through our planning sessions and countless email and texts. She was always ready to help with any questions we had and provided great recommendations and ideas. Our big day went off without a hitch and felt like an absolute dream! We received so many compliments from our guests on how special the day was and how great the venue, staff and food was during the event.
Lillian Gardens provides an awesome all-inclusive package with their recommended vendors (Floral, Catering, Cake, DJ, Officiant, Rentals, etc), who are all GREAT! We received the most amazing service from each of their vendors. This helped with no-stress and FUN planning! We loved having such a special event in our lives at Lillian Gardens. We highly recommend this venue and its staff to anyone looking for a perfect wedding or other event!
