Conveniently located in the midst of Athens’ historical district, the Hardeman-Sams
House provides the perfect setting for making your “special day” a treasured memory.
This beautiful home and garden offer the bride a flexibility of planning for indoor or
outdoor activities or a combination of both. Constructed in 1910 by local architect
Fred J. Orr for Benjamin Frank Hardeman, this home is registered to both the Dearing
Street and Milledge Avenue Historic Districts. The classic charm and beauty of this
home and garden have been maintained, while carefully blending in all the amenities to
make your wedding wishes become a reality. Its stylish elegance and spacious rooms are
well-appointed with furnishings reflecting the splendor and grandeur of the period.
The main level consists of a formal living room, a spacious sitting room, formal dining
room, a complete chef’s kitchen and preparation room, the grand hallway and staircase.
The marble-floored hallway highlights the grand staircase which ascends to the upstairs
facilities. On the second floor are a master bedroom, bride’s room, sunroom, an elegant
library lounge and a fully-furnished conference room that provides seating for 24-28
guests.
The meticulously-manicured garden and gazebo provide a beautiful and intimate setting
for an outdoor ceremony and reception. In addition, the unique open design of the home
provides for indoor ceremonies as well. The large front entry and side portico provide
an abundance of additional seating and/or serving accommodations.
As a guest of the Hardeman-Sams House, you may select your own caterer who will have
full access to our kitchen and facilities. Event Director Sara Thomas is dedicated to
assisting you, your family and friends in every way possible. Whether you are planning
