The naturally stunning setting of the Hammond-Preston House, just a few miles away from the distractions of Anderson city life, offers a serene and memorable place for your wedding or special event. One of the most sought after reception venues in the Upstate, the Hammond-Preston House rests on five beautifully landscaped acres where every thought has been given to providing an unforgettable experience. The grounds feature an 1894 fully restored main house; shimmering swimming pool complete with a captivating waterfall and cabana pool house; spacious Carriage House Pavilion; 1928 Stables; 1930s WPA outhouse efficiently restored to provide modern conveniences; a cozy Colonial Pub; and a 1890s Overseers Cottage that can serve as a romantic Honeymoon Suite.
Events at the Hammond-Preston House are everything you've dreamed of and more. Rustic romance combined with a dedication to detail ensure your event, whether an intimate gathering or a lavish extravaganza, will be one to remember.
A manicured courtyard offers lush seating for up to 275 invited guests while a jasmine-draped arbor serves as a breathtaking backdrop for an exquisite exchange of vows.
Cascading water falls from a simple river rock basin into a sparkling pool, delighting the senses and tempting toes.
The Hammond-Preston House is much more than alluringly landscaped grounds and agrarian buildings--the property also features a beautifully maintained portion of the historic roadbed for Old Williamston Road, a popular 19th century farm-to-market thoroughfare connecting the town of Anderson with the stately farms and quiet meadows of the neighboring countryside.
The meticulously restored 1928 Stables hosts a pleasant chapel that offers the perfect spot for intimate nuptials. The Stables overlook the traditional Southern bourbon burial area and supplies a convenient and spacious catering kitchen.
Tranquil botanical gardens boasting native Southern plantings are complemented by two outdoor stone fireplaces and two large fire pits and are equipped to appeal to an array of guests with a children's play area and lawn games such as cornhole, horseshoes, and badminton.
Graceful swings and comfortable benches thoughtfully placed around the peaceful grounds present a multitude of quiet conversation areas.
Accessible from across the Upstate and Northeast Georgia, the Hammond-Preston House offers a picturesque escape from the ordinary. And certainly a once in a lifetime event deserves nothing less than extraordinary!
