When one uses the word "farm" in the name of a wedding venue, I am slightly suspicious. I have been…read moreon a few farms in my life and a barn or a pony does not constitute one. Thankful here they live up to the name. First the location. Because it is off the beaten path and not directly in Richmond or Columbia County, some may assume it is a far drive. At 12-20 miles, it is not that far at all. But when you arrive, you will feel as though you have left the busyness and noise of city and suburban life far behind. Though I am unsure of the exact amount of acreage, I would give a fairly confident estimate of over 100. The open fields and the horses who seem to just be out for a afternoon stroll make you wonder if this is more venue or peaceful retreat. The focal point is the large barn, Magnolia Barn, where everything from dancing to food and drink to a cocktail area await. There is another barn, a cabin, and a chapel onsite as well (though a outdoor ceremony is a option). You have a firepit surrounded by porch swings and fresh air to soothe the soul. I love this venue and hope I have the opportunity to visit it more in the future.

My daughter wanted a Beanie Boo themed party and the hostesses dressed up wearing cute animal masks. I think the masks made it hard for them to see because they often did not have them over their eyes, instead they placed them in their foreheads. But the hostesses were very nice, good with kids, and polite. The decor was perfect, they had face painting, games, music, it was clean, comfortable, and I could not ask for more. Lavishly Posh does all of the work, even the invitations, which turn out looking really cute. They also take lots of pictures & put them in a disc for your keepsake. All that I had to do is bring the food & cake and they set it up with warm catering trays even. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who needs help organizing a party. You won't be disappointed.

Words cannot begin to express how much we…read moreappreciate all that the Higdon House has done to make our special day absolutely sheer poetry! We booked this venue 3 1/2 years ago and since my husband is in the military we've had to reschedule our wedding twice. I couldn't have picked a better venue, because they were so understanding about our situation. Jack the owner and Harvey the event manager became like family to me by the end of it all. Always encouraging me and telling me not to worry when I would feel defeated about our hectic schedule changes! Pick this venue to have your wedding, because you will not be disappointed. Our wedding coordinator was Kathryn. She immediately emails or calls you back and is always there to answer any questions you have. She helped out so much from easing differing opinions, to reminding you of things you would have never known to do, and was so key in directing our ceremony. If you're a worrier like I am, she is amazing at reassuring you everything is going to be fine and if something does go wrong she is there to take care of it before you even realize it's happened. She made our wedding day so amazing because we knew she was on top of it all. Burke Brennan was our DJ! He was a delight to work with. He's the type of DJ that would get out on the dance floor and teach you the wobble! Who wouldn't want an interactive DJ!? I also recommend Judy Leeson from At Your Service Catering for your caterer. Judy answered all my emails. Helped me put a light summer menu together, I mean our guests couldn't say enough about the dinner, service and overall the atmosphere her and her staff provided for us. Beside the venue itself being BREATHTAKINGLY GORGEOUS, the friendly staff provided impeccable service! They were easy to work with and every single one of them was professional, organized, and happy. They were full of great ideas, and I can't even begin to describe what a value they are! The venue provide SO much standard with their all-inclusive pricing, they can't be touched by competitors. Anyone who is lucky enough to book their wedding with The Higdon House will not only not be disappointed, but should be prepared to be blown away! Thank you so much for making our wedding day the best day of our life!

I love officiating weddings, but it's even more amazing when it's at a new location. A few weeks…read moreago I was honored to do just that. This place is so far off the beaten path even the trusted GPS on my phone failed me. Entering in the physical address will get you close, but you will need to drive another 1.5 miles once you've "reached your destination". You won't be able to miss the stone and iron rod gate marked as The Southern Barn at Neely Farms. It's a gravel road downhill so take it slow. Parking will be to the left, the barn and pond will be to the right. Just before the barn is where I performed the outdoor wedding. The sunset with live music being performed and the trees and pond as a background made for a gorgeous ceremony (and no, not just because of the guy in the black suit leading the whole thing). The Barn itself is not only beautiful, but massive in size! The outdoor patio area wraps around three sides, with the pond facing side turning into a porch with rocking chairs. Inside is the changing rooms upstairs, plenty of floor space on the ground level, and a back barn door that opens for carters and such. There is little needed for decor as the woodwork on this place is all the eye needs to behold. If you have a special day coming up, give them a call.

Whether attending or officiating weddings, I always love to arrive early and take a few minutes to…read moreadmire the location. Whether it is an historic building or outdoor setting, I have found it always to be relaxing and a good reminder of that special day for me. Coming here though, I tend to arrive with a little extra time because of the zen-like feel this venue carries. To say it is off the beaten path is a understatement. It is in the country. And that is the first of many great things about it. You turn onto the gravel road and pass a massive tree on your left, as well as a few horses just out for a walk (inside a fence of course). You park in front of a small barn. At the back of it is a bar area and clawfoot tub (to hold ice). You soon discover that all of this is just the entrance way to the barn chapel where a number of wedding ceremonies take place. In here are antique pews for seating, a wood floor, and fans (as most days are hot in this part of Georgia). In the back-center of the chapel is a suspended stained glasses window that helps set the mood each and every time. On the grounds are a dining area (mostly covered, some open air seating) and a smaller chapel out in the field as well. There is a cabin for the wedding party to get ready and a golf cart, mostly for brides not wanting to get their dress dirty. I love this place and I love the team. This is a local and family-owned and operated business. They will do anything and everything they can to make your special day perfect. I look forward to what they build next.

The venue itself is nice, clean, and has great potential for events -- so my rating is based solely…read moreon my experience with the owner, not the space. I booked the venue for 10/25, but on 10/23, things went left. Up until then, communication and everything else had been fine. However, the owner gave one of my vendors incorrect information regarding communication, which wasn't true and felt unprofessional. That's when my experience started to shift. Another thing that bothered me was being asked to pay a damage waiver, then later finding out from my decorator that the owner had been onsite during setup. When I arrived around 7:30 PM for my Halloween photoshoot, the owner was sitting outside in her car. While I was inside taking pictures, she remained nearby. Once I realized she was still there, I decided not to continue my shoot and texted my decorator to come gather her things. Once my decorator came to collect her items, the owner joined us inside and stayed there until we finished, which added to the uneasy feeling I already had. Even though the event itself was canceled and I only used the venue for a photoshoot, I still paid for full-day access and expected to feel comfortable during my rental time. The venue is beautiful, but the owner's approach and lack of professionalism really took away from what could have been a much better experience. Update to Owner's Response: First, let's talk about communication. You were being lazy -- plain and simple. You know we've been communicating through email and Facebook Messenger, and your own response to my message (which I'll gladly post) proves my point. Second, I changed my personal phone number, which I'm under no obligation to share with you, especially since we were already in contact through multiple other ways. Instead of reaching out by email or Messenger like you've always done, you chose not to contact me at all -- and then lied by saying you couldn't reach me. What's worse is you contacted my decorator first, before even attempting to message me directly, and I have receipts of you admitting it. Third, let's address the deposit situation. I was asked to pay a damage waiver while you were onsite the entire time, monitoring everything during setup and throughout the evening. That didn't sit right with me, because if you're physically present the whole time, what exactly is the waiver protecting you from? Also, when we book an event, we're paying for private use of that space during the hours listed on the contract -- not for the owner to hover or interfere. You're supposed to be on contact for emergencies, not stationed inside the venue watching over everyone like a chaperone. Lastly, I don't care if you and my decorator worked well together or if other clients like you being onsite -- I didn't ask for you to be there. My review reflects my experience, not anyone else's.

Throughout the process I felt that special attention was being given to my requests and timeframes. The owner even threw in some extras that I had not thought to ask for.

I was so pleased, that I have already booked the space for another event this year. I am always excited/grateful when supporting small business owners goes well. I can say, without a doubt, that Luxe will be my go to venue in the future.
