About this venue

“Heyward Manor is so much more than a wedding venue” are words our couples have often spoken, and we wholeheartedly agree. Family owned and operated, Heyward Manor lies on an over 900+ acre tree nursery. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, we built this venue overlooking our lake to create a relaxing and serene ambiance. The venue includes a luxury bridal suite, groom’s suite, commercial catering kitchen, heating and cooling, outdoor covered areas, ample parking and more. Heyward Manor also features multiple ceremony and reception options, perfect for any wedding style. Forever truly does start here!

"It looks like a cathedral!"

With three large windows at the front of the venue; glass, French doors lining both sides; and a breathtaking display of windows at the back; Heyward Manor is a photographer’s dream with unlimited natural light. When the sun goes down, delicate chandeliers light up the inner whitewashed walls, outlined by natural cedar beams. Inside, Heyward Manor can accommodate up to 400 seated guests for a ceremony.

    My husband and I have been wedding photographers for almost 10 years and have photographed all over the Southeast. Heyward Manor is one of our favorite venues we have ever photographed at. We just love photographing weddings and other sessions like engagements and bridals at Heyward Manor. The owners are lovely people and have the most beautiful venue. If you want an Southern, elegant wedding day and a seamless experience with your venue, look no further than Heyward Manor!

    I heard about Heyward Manor before it was officially complete. A friend was able to give us contact information and told us that we “just had to check it out.” At that time, when I googled Heyward Manor, I couldn’t find a single thing about it; however, I chose to trust my friend and reach out to the venue because it couldn’t hurt to visit. After making that phone call and speaking with Libby Black the first time, I wanted so badly for this venue to fit my wedding vision. I knew she would be great to work with. I wasn’t really sure what to expect during our visit, but we were welcomed to Heyward Manor with open arms, and it did not take long for us to fall in love with this special place. The venue is simply beautiful, and it had everything I wanted – long farmhouse tables, outdoor and indoor ceremony options, string lights, a lovely landscape, air conditioning, plenty of accessible parking, the most beautiful bridal suite, a unique space for groomsmen, stunning chandeliers, and characteristics that complemented the boho vibe that I love so much. Of all the venues I had visited, this was the one that I could actually envision my wedding taking place at. My family and I also instantly connected with Carol and Libby, and we knew that they would take good care of us. As a Christian, I felt so comfortable working with people of great faith. They live it out and share the love of Christ at every opportunity. My family was especially drawn to that. My husband and I got married at Heyward Manor on June 20, 2020 (yes, in the midst of the pandemic), and, looking back several years later, I still feel so blessed and grateful that God provided such a wonderful place for us to celebrate the best day of our lives. I think back on that day with so much joy as it was truly a dream come true. Heyward Manor was not only the most beautiful venue, but it was so accommodating, especially during such a difficult time. As June got closer and closer that year, I didn’t know what to expect from the venue. Everybody else I knew that was getting married during that time had to change their plans in some way. But Libby reassured me that my wedding would go on as planned. She explained everything they were going to do in relation to Covid precautions, and it made me feel so at ease. My whole family is extremely grateful for Heyward Manor, and everything the team did to help my wedding become a reality. Libby and her husband came out to help us with anything we needed that day, and the Heyward Manor team will always make sure you are seeing your vision come to life. This team was truly wonderful to work with, and I enjoyed getting frequent phone calls from them, keeping me updated throughout the whole process. Our wedding day was absolutely amazing! Everyone loved the venue, and guests still talk about how beautiful it was. I really could go on and on about the things we love about Heyward Manor, but I feel that anyone who steps foot on the grounds will feel the way we felt there – at home. Heyward Manor will always hold such a special place in my heart, and I love taking every opportunity I can to go back and visit.

From grounds keeping, to venue set up, and day of management, the Heyward team is the best. We couldn't have imagined any better place for our special day!
