About Burge Plantation
Nestled in the picturesque countryside of eastern Newton County, Georgia, Burge Plantation is a 1,000-acre historic estate that perfectly blends Southern charm, rich history, and modern elegance. Home to The Burge Club, a private hunting, shooting, and family club, this breathtaking venue offers an exclusive and intimate setting for couples looking to celebrate in timeless style.
At Burge Plantation, couples can exchange vows in some of the most enchanting ceremony locations, from the grandeur of the front steps of the 1921-built manor home to the shade of the towering oaks in the front yard or within the beautifully manicured formal garden. Receptions are held in the elegant Burge Conservatory, a stunning glass-walled venue with a covered terrace that can be heated or cooled, ensuring year-round comfort for you and your guests. The estate also features spacious lawns, lush gardens, and two additional pavilions, providing endless opportunities for unforgettable wedding moments.
One of the many reasons we love photographing weddings at Burge Plantation is the way this venue truly feels like a step back in time while offering modern luxury. The golden glow of sunset filtering through the historic trees, the classic architecture of the main house, and the sophisticated ambiance of the Conservatory all provide incredible backdrops for timeless wedding portraits. With two private cottages for the wedding party—one for the bride and one for the groom and their attendants—getting ready photos are as elegant as the venue itself.
Beyond its beauty, Burge Plantation delivers a true farm-to-table experience, featuring seasonal menus crafted with organic herbs and vegetables grown on-site. With an in-house chef creating first-class dining experiences, every meal becomes a celebration in itself—something your guests will remember long after the wedding day.
