Seasons Matter: How Timing Impacts Your Wedding Style and Photos

Not every season is created equal when it comes to weddings—and that's especially true in the scenic hills of North Georgia.
At The Heritage at Milford Family Farm, we are surrounded by natural beauty that changes dramatically throughout the year. The golden hues of fall, the lush greens of spring, the cozy charm of winter, and the warm sunlight of summer each bring their own flavor to your big day.
Fall Is the Fan Favorite (Here’s Why)
In Ellijay, autumn transforms our venue into a warm-toned dreamscape of terracotta, gold, and burnt orange. The soft light and cooler temps make outdoor ceremonies perfect. Plus, the photos? Absolutely breathtaking.

What Every Couple Needs to Know About Bartending, Insurance, and Liability

If alcohol will be served at your wedding, there’s more to consider than drink selection. Did you know that you, the couple, can be held liable for alcohol-related incidents—unless your bartender is properly licensed and insured?
At The Heritage at Milford Family Farm, we educate every couple about the importance of licensed bar services to keep everyone safe and covered.
Why This Matters
In Georgia, unlicensed alcohol service at a private event can create serious legal risk. If a guest drinks too much and causes harm on or off the property, the responsibility could fall on you as the host.
Our Trusted Bartending Option: Girls Behind Bars
We offer trusted partners like Girls Behind Bars, a professional mobile bar team known for their beautiful setups and fully licensed & insured service.

Bringing Your Own? Read This First.
If you hire your own bartenders, we require proof of license and insurance. This isn’t just about compliance—it’s about protecting you and your guests from unexpected costs or legal issues.
