Some places are built for beauty — others are built for stories.
At Stonehedge House, you’ll find both woven together in a venue that has stood as a quiet witness to love, laughter, and life in Buford for over a century. Nestled along 406 East Shadburn Avenue, this historic estate has transformed from a private family residence into one of Georgia’s most beloved wedding and event venues, continuing a legacy of Southern elegance that began long before the first bouquet was tossed.
Today, Stonehedge House welcomes couples, families, and corporate guests from across Metro Atlanta — but its roots run deep into Buford’s past. This is its story.
A Home Built With Heart
Stonehedge House was established in the early 1900s, during a time when Buford was growing from a small North Georgia town into a thriving community. Homes built during this period favored craftsmanship, character, and a connection to the land — and Stonehedge was no exception.
Constructed with classic Southern architecture and natural stone details, the home quickly became known in the community for its graceful presence. Its gardens, open lawns, and charming front porch offered the kind of inviting atmosphere that made it a gathering place for friends, neighbors, and celebrations of all kinds.
A Century of Stories
Over the years, the estate passed through the hands of families who cherished its peaceful setting and timeless charm. Each generation added its own chapter to Stonehedge House’s story — from garden parties and holiday gatherings to milestone celebrations.
Buford locals often share memories of walking past the home as children, admiring the grand stone walls and imagining the lives lived inside. It was a home that always seemed to glow with history and possibility.
Buford’s Transformation — and Stonehedge’s Role
As Buford flourished — from its early leather industry roots to the vibrant dining, shopping, and arts community it is today — Stonehedge House remained a landmark of stability and beauty. Its historic presence has helped shape the identity of the area, connecting the bustle of modern life with the elegance of Georgia’s past.
When the opportunity arose to restore Stonehedge and share it with the public, the vision was clear:
preserve the integrity of the home while opening its doors to new memories.
Restoration With Purpose
Restoring a historic property requires respect, patience, and an understanding of its soul. The Stonehedge House team approached the renovation with a commitment to honoring the original architecture:
✨ Restored stonework that had weathered decades of Georgia sunshine
✨ Preserved wood details and interior character
✨ Refreshed landscaping to highlight the estate’s natural beauty
✨ Thoughtful updates for comfort, accessibility, and modern events
The result is a venue that feels both timeless and welcoming — a place where historic charm meets contemporary style.

Why Couples Fall in Love With the History
There’s something undeniably romantic about saying “I do” in a place that has stood for a century. Couples often share that the venue’s history makes their celebration feel part of something bigger — a continuation of love stories from generations before.
