Burge Club weddings take place on a historic 1,000-acre farm in Mansfield, Georgia, about 45 minutes east of Atlanta. Many couples still know the property by its former name, Burge Plantation, and both names refer to the same venue on Jeff Cook Road. Weddings at Burge Club offers all-inclusive packages, with ceremonies on the front steps of a home built in 1921, under the grand oaks in the front yard, or in the formal garden.
We have photographed a wedding at Burge Club back when it was still called Burge Plantation. This guide covers the property’s best photo locations and practical tips for planning your photography there. Venue details can change over time, so confirm current packages and spaces directly with the Burge Club team.

About Burge Club (Formerly Burge Plantation)
The venue describes itself as a beautiful country setting that combines the romance of a charming farm with rustic outdoor elegance. For Burge Club weddings, the property offers:
- A main house built in 1921, with front steps that can host the ceremony
- Grand oaks in the front yard and a formal garden, both used for ceremonies
- The Burge Conservatory and its covered terrace for receptions, both of which can be heated or cooled
- Spacious lawns and gardens around the Conservatory and main house, plus two additional pavilions
- Two cottages for the wedding party to get ready in
- Farm-to-table menus featuring organic herbs and vegetables
The name Burge Plantation still appears on many wedding listing sites, so you will likely see both names while you research.
What Couples Should Know Before Booking
All-Inclusive Planning
Burge Club offers all-inclusive packages. Ask the venue team what your package includes and how a typical day is scheduled, then share that information with your photographer early. When we build your timeline together, those details help us plan portraits, family photos, and reception coverage around the venue’s flow.
Getting Ready in the Cottages
Two cottages are included for the wedding party, one for each side and their attendants. Getting-ready photos look their best in a tidy space near a window, so keep the dress, rings, shoes, and invitation together in one spot before your photographers arrive.
Travel Time From Atlanta
Mansfield sits about 45 minutes east of Atlanta. Build a little extra travel time into the day for guests, family, and anyone arriving from the city, especially if part of your wedding party gets ready off site.
Burge Club Ceremony Locations and Photo Tips
The Front Steps of the Main House
The columned white house makes a classic, symmetrical backdrop. When we photographed here, a brick walkway led straight down the aisle to the front steps, which let us frame the house, your guests, and the two of you in a single view.
Under the Grand Oaks
The mature oaks in the front yard give the lawn a shaded, natural setting. Shade from large trees creates soft, even light on faces, which is especially helpful for ceremonies earlier in the afternoon.
The Formal Garden
The formal garden offers a smaller, more intimate ceremony setting, with plantings that add color and texture to your photos.
Whichever spot you choose, we factor in your ceremony time and the sunset time for your date when we plan the day together.
Portrait Spots Around the Farm
A 1,000-acre farm gives you plenty of variety close to the main house. When we photographed here, we made portraits in these areas:
- White fence lines and open fields, for wide, airy portraits with a true countryside feel
- The gardens beside the main house, for portraits with the home’s architecture in the background
- Tall trees along the grounds, for shaded, romantic portraits
- The front lawn, which has room for your full wedding party and larger family groupings
If you would like more time for portraits across the property, a first look can free up your schedule before the ceremony. Our guide to planning a first look walks through how it works. Family portraits are planned around your priorities, and we will talk through the groupings that matter most to you ahead of time.
For outdoor portraits, spring and fall bring comfortable temperatures and beautiful color to the farm.
Receptions in the Burge Conservatory
Receptions take place in and around the Burge Conservatory and its covered terrace, both of which can be heated or cooled depending on the weather. That flexibility makes the Conservatory a comfortable reception space in any season.
Plan a few quiet minutes before guests enter so the room can be photographed fully set, with tables, centerpieces, and details just as your team arranged them.
