| Introduction |
|
We like to think of ourselves as the best-kept secret in Georgia. The five acre Ashford Manor estate, overlooking Watkinsville's venerable Main Street, had been in the same family for over 100 years. Completely surrounded and secluded by a border of magnolias, red buds and pines, the 1893 Victorian manor house, cottage, gazebo and four acres of landscaped gardens all terrace down to a swimming pool and open woods and creek beyond. We are walking distance to antique shops and art galleries of local fine and folk art talent. The living room, dining room, reception room and grand entrance hall on the ground floor were designed to entertain large parties so common in the Victorian age. Ten floor-to-ceiling glass doorways access the columned wrap porch adding entertaining space during the warmer months. Ten minutes from Athens, an hour from Atlanta. |
|
The most comprehensive and, to our eye, the most romantic wedding facility in the area is an exceptional setting for receptions, ceremonies, showers, rehearsal dinners, parties and overnight accommodations. Four acres of gardens on four terraces overlooking an acre of woods can accommodate events of 350 people, or provide intimate spaces for small, family affairs. The Manor is walking distance to a non-denominational private sanctuary.
|
Dozens of Romantic settings inside and out for the vows or formal and informal wedding portraits: the gazebo; the 'secret' boxwood garden; a forty foot wall of recessed brick arches; the brick grand staircase or the curved wood porch staircase; the Music Room with grand piano and a grand staircase; any of four carved wood and tile fireplaces on the ground floor; the Chippendale porch of the cottage; the wisteria covered porch...and more.
plan the event and assure your weekend runs smoothly and that all of your guests, overnight and in attendance have an extraordinary experience. |
