Joi is very to the point and passionate about what she does. I will admit I was nervous because I don't have a strong personality and her's is very strong but I am SO happy we choose to go with this location and Tamzen + Joi. First of all the location was perfect and the grounds are amazing. Through the entire experience, everything was taken care of most importantly the day of... About a week before the wedding a cold front was supposed to come in on our day and we had not prepped for this. Joi called me directly and came up with a plan to use some extra tents along with the walls to them. The day was PERFECT. Everything ran smoothly and the "moments" she creates for you are things you can't comprehend because you are so busy with everything else! The vendors they partner with and the ability to have everything in one spot was really great as well. I can't say anything bad about our day. Our friends still rave about it and I will never forget it!

I'm sorry to hear some ladies had some terrible experiences here. I totally can understand where…read morethey are coming from, as I met the person they keep calling out - Ms. Joi - and I saw her interactions with others being kind of rude and harsh at times. However, this coming from a maid of honor's perspective, I fully enjoyed myself at the wedding ceremony and reception I took part in last July. The venue is beautiful, the food was good, and service was excellent for the most part. I would like to say on Joi's behalf that although she has an abrasive personality and probably could handle things with a little more of a softer touch, she really came through for me when I needed a hand. I am not sure if it was the heat, or some health conditions I have, but I almost passed out during the photo portion after the ceremony. Joi came rushing to my aid even though I did not even request her help. She got me food and water immediately and sent someone out to get cold towels to put on my shoulders as I was looking pale and overheating. She got me to sit down and rest and pretty much catered to me until I was feeling more stable. If it had not been for her noticing my loss of color and just ill appearance, as well as her quick action, I might have had to go to the hospital. So I really appreciate her attentiveness and that she took care of me when everyone else was so busy and distracted. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get married in the area and just perhaps not take anything Joi says to heart, especially knowing that she has such a compassionate, caring nature underneath her tough exterior.

One of my best friends got married here and it was the perfect venue for a spring wedding!…read more Reservations: I'm not sure how far in advance my friends reserved the venue. But if you're looking to have an event here, they do offer tours so check out their site for availability. Parking: The parking available on the venue is on gravel. Vibe: The flowers and greenery around the entire venue were beautiful. I loved how seamless the venue, bridal suite, and reception area flowed. The bridal suite is so big and has a large kitchen area with a fridge; a living room area with a couch and several chairs; a bathroom with a shower; a room that was used for hair & make up; and a front and back porch. The main venue space has a downstairs space that was used as both the reception area and the dance floor. I enjoyed celebrating my friends at this beautiful spot! I think it would be a great spot for weddings, vow renewals, and/or other large events.

I attended a wedding earlier this month (August 2021) at The Wildflower Barn at Little River. I had…read morea great time. For my wife and me, it was our first wedding since November 2019 (pre-COVID). Personally, the vaccines have been a game-changer for us and we felt comfortable at this indoor-outdoor gathering of about 90-95 people. Plus, we didn't want to miss this. We came in from out of state to make it. At first, I got The Wildflower Barn at Little River confused with Little River Farms, the wedding and special events venue next door. The two venues, plus Brick & Ivey in Marietta, are owned and operated by the same group. I believe there was another wedding going on at Little River Farms at the same time because when I pulled up to The Wildflower Barn at Little River, there were folks with signs directing people which way to go depending on which couple's wedding they were attending. The parking was valet in a gravel driveway and parking lot, which I was not expecting. The valet guys were nice and did a good job. The ceremony was held outside, unplugged. The cocktail hour was held inside and outside. The dinner reception was held inside the barn. And there was a beautiful lantern send-off outside, the way we came in. Everything was well-organized and went off without a hitch, as far as I could tell. For an event with about 90-95 people, I thought the size of The Wildflower Barn at Little River was appropriate. Over 100, I suspect it may start feeling tight. Overall, I thought the venue was beautiful, particularly the outside with all the plants and well-manicured landscaping, whimsical string lighting, and farm feel. Inside, the reception space felt open and modern. The space was very well lit and also well ventilated and air conditioned. At the reception dinner, a served buffet was catered by Southern Charmed Catering by Little River Farms. I thought the food was delicious. It consisted of a fresh spring mix salad with choice of honey balsamic or ranch dressing, green beans amandine, whipped buttermilk potatoes, mesquite-grilled chicken breast, pork chops with maple bourbon beurre blanc with sweet and spicy BBQ sauces, and dinner rolls. During cocktail hour, there were two hors d'oeuvres, chicken satay (skewers) and crab rangoon. During both the cocktail hour and reception, there were two open bars, one inside and one outside. King of Pops was on-site as was Pearl's Tea of Suwanee (bubble tea). Robot Booth provided the fun photo booth and DJ Rylan with DJ Cuttlefish, the team of DJs associated with Robot Booth, was the emcee and provided the music (playlist by the bride). I was told the wedding cake was by Angel Bakery, located inside Hong Kong Supermarket in Norcross, and additional dessert cake was provided by Nothing Bundt Cakes. I was familiar with all of the vendors except for Angel Bakery which I think is well-known among the Asian (specifically, Vietnamese) community in Gwinnett. The cake was excellent. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves at The Wildflower Barn at Little River. I think it's an ideal wedding venue depending on what you're going for.

Beautiful venue, but unfortunately our experience after the wedding completely changed our opinion…read more First off, be sure to get any request or agreement in writing, for ANY little thing. Even if it is just bringing a bottle of wine in for yourself. The sales person you initially meet with Will make you promises than the wedding coordinator will not know what you are talking about. They will nickel and dime you for every little thing. Our wedding coordinator was friendly, but they will ALWAYS prioritize their vendors when an issue is brought up. We chose the all-inclusive package expecting professionalism, coordination, and accountability. Instead, when multiple issues happened with one of their preferred vendors (the DJ), management and the wedding planner immediately defended the vendor rather than genuinely addressing our concerns. Important moments during our wedding were mishandled, including incorrect announcements, poor coordination, timeline confusion, and even the wrong versions of songs being played during the ceremony. Afterward, instead of accountability, we received a long response full of excuses blaming apps, timing, and "live event conditions." My advice to future couples: if you use this venue, strongly consider bringing your own outside vendors instead of using the inclusive package. Once the wedding is over, it feels very clear where the venue's loyalty lies -- with their preferred vendors they continue working with, not with the couples who paid thousands for their special day.

A Truly Spectacular Wedding Experience…read more Our daughter/Son-in-law's Wedding on April 17 was absolutely beautiful, and we cannot say enough about the incredible team at Ashton Gardens. Ty'Asia and Elizabeth were phenomenal. They were on top of every detail from start to finish, and anytime we needed something, they were right there making sure it was handled quickly and with care. The Food was fresh, flavorful, and enjoyed by everyone. Since we (the parents of the bride) couldn't be everywhere at once, we checked in with several guests afterward - every single one of them said the venue was stunning, the service was excellent, and the waitstaff was attentive and professional. Whatever guests needed, the staff provided without hesitation. Most importantly, the Bride and Groom were thrilled with how their special day turned out. We are truly grateful for the dedication and professionalism that made their wedding unforgettable.

This area is covered in case of rain, so have no fear. It is outdoors and had a nice breeze. There is also a fireplace for those cold nights as well. The dance floor is huge and there are many photo opps around the property, that you are welcome to roam. They let you use your own vendors that come onsite from what the bride and groom told us.

First, the venue has a gorgeous, romantic feel to it. The outdoor ceremony space was beautiful and simple. The cocktail hour outside was cozy yet wasn't cramped for the amount of people (sometimes cocktail hours can feel like you're waiting in line at the bar the whole time). And may I say the service was fantastic all the way through - staff were all friendly, attentive and professional throughout. The bartenders were personable to us Everytime we went up to the bar, but efficient to where they didn't have a long line built up. The buffet line went quickly as well. There were only two restrooms from what I could locate on the first floor, I did notice a line a time or two in the beginning of the evening. Definitely had a wonderful experience here!
