From traditional brides seeking a fairytale ceremony and reception to eclectic couples looking to make their day entirely their own, Newnan-Coweta has a venue to fit every personality and every couple. As the filming location for AMC’s hit show The Walking Dead, super fans can even plan their own Walking Dead-themed ceremony at some of the show’s most iconic filming locations in Senoia. Here are a few stellar wedding venues in Newnan-Coweta for every type of bride.

There’s something timeless and sentimental about a courthouse wedding. For the understated bride who wants to let her love speak for itself, there’s no better place to swap vows than the Historic Coweta County Courthouse. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 1904 Classic Revival Courthouse anchors the town square. Its iconic 100-foot copper-covered dome and stately white columns are a great backdrop for just-married portraits, and there’s no need for wedding bells. The courthouse’s four-face clock tower chimes every hour—talk about a way to ring in your matrimony.

It doesn’t get much sweeter or more Southern than the gorgeous gardens and stunning two-story house of Lillian Gardens. With its wrought-iron railing and double-decker porches, the venue at Lilian Gardens seems torn straight from the pages of Gone with the Wind. Inside, you’ll find warm lighting, original wood floors, classic furniture, and a neutral color palette to complement your flowers and wedding décor. The courtyard and gardens feature luscious flowering plants, bubbling fountains, twinkle lights, and a breathtaking gazebo. Every last detail is designed to enchant.

Brides who love modern aesthetics will fall for the ceremony and reception options at Murphy Lane. Marvel in the beauty of 88 acres of wide-open spaces and scenic farmland. The restored barn is the ideal place to dance the night away with loved ones, and in temperate weather, your guests will love exploring the grounds as they toast to your nuptials and celebrate your marriage. Packages range from the Murphy Lane Micro-Wedding Package for intimate weddings to the Murphy Lane All-Inclusive Wedding Package, which includes everything you need for the blowout bash of a lifetime.

Brides who enjoy spending their free time in the great outdoors will appreciate the rolling hills and pastoral views at Vinewood Stables. Once a historic homestead and horse barn, Vinewood Stables is now fully equipped as a full-service wedding venue. The Main House is large enough to house the wedding party while getting ready, but the Wedding Pavilion is what makes this venue so special. A covered wood-and-stone platform provides the perfect backdrop for you to say your vows. Beyond lies an incredible view of hillsides and rolling pastures. A tree canopy provides ample shade for your guests, but the sunlight seeping in through the foliage creates an absolutely stunning effect.

The original passenger depot for the Atlanta & Westpoint Railroad has now been transformed into an intimate and charming wedding venue. With its cozy corners, exposed brick walls, and warm chandelier lighting, this venue is for the bride who wants an intimate party with her closest friends and family. Snap some pictures on the old boarding platform and enjoy the greenspace outside the depot’s double doors.

Wistful brides will love the ethereal vibe inside the barn at Macedonia Hills. The former horse ranch and barn is situated near the highest point in Coweta County. Brides can choose to hold their ceremonies outdoors on the upper bank, near a waterfall feature, or outside the barn. But for the dreamy bride on her big day, nothing compares to the high vaulted ceiling inside the barn and the exposed wood beams that run along it. Add simple flowers or greenery and gold or brass accents, and the ideal fairytale look is easy to achieve.

It may not be conventional, but we guarantee having a Walking Dead wedding in Senoia will be memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The show’s main filming location, fans can have their wedding in the very same gazebo on Main Street that was part of the Woodbury set and overlooks the what was once the Alexandria set. They can also have it on the wooden bridge over the train tracks where Maggie and Glen were reunited. For something a little less obvious, choose the Veranda B&B where many of the show’s stars have stayed during filming. Want to take it to the next level? Hire zombies to complete the experience and put a little extra meaning behind the phrase, “until death do us part.”
