The New Holland Parlor wedding venue is a historical building located in Gainesville, Ga meant for a couple searching for a venue that is simply like no other.

The industrial vibe is accompanied by midcentury furniture and romantic modern touches that bring back a sense of the 1920s while still remaining elegant, modern, and timeless. We offer 3 separate and unique rooms giving our couples the ability to choose which ones reflect their style best.

When my husband and I started looking for our wedding venue, we had pretty high expectations. We are full-time wedding photographers and most of the venues we have been to are pretty cookie cutter and not at all what we wanted for our own wedding. You’ve got your barns, ballrooms, and industrial chic venues and then you’ve got something completely different like New Holland. New Holland has character, charm, and a one-off nature that was exactly what we were looking for. We knew that when we decided to have our wedding after being married already for ten years, it had to be at New Holland. Sophie and Reagan made the experience booking and hosting our wedding effortless. Our entire wedding celebration was unconventional, and because of that, it required a whole lot of coordination with activities and food for our guests that typical weddings don’t necessitate. Sophie and Reagan handled everything the day of the wedding perfectly. It was like one big choreographed dance. I know that without them, our wedding would have been a huge, disorganized embarrassment, and we are so grateful they helped make our day run smoothly so that we could enjoy it. If you’re the kind of bride who is looking for something bespoke and can’t find it at any of the venues you’ve visited so far, I know you’ll find it at New Holland.

I had the pleasure of hosting my wedding reception at Golden Door Event Hall on 07/07/2023, and I couldn't have been more satisfied with their services. To start, I had to make a last-minute change to my reception venue, and Golden Door Event Hall was not only available but also incredibly accommodating. Their flexibility, professionalism, and helpfulness were truly exceptional. The staff was always pleasant to work with, making the planning process a breeze. I would wholeheartedly recommend Golden Door Event Hall to anyone in need of a fantastic event venue. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again in the future.
