Just outside of Augusta, GA, The Barns at Gunn-Stewart Farm is a venue rich in history and heart. Family-owned and operated, the Stewart family’s dedication shines through in every detail.

The renovations preserve their historical charm while offering modern comfort and elegance. The Stewarts' passion for creating unforgettable celebrations makes this venue truly one of a kind.
The Open Air Chapel
At the heart of The Barns at Gunn-Stewart Farm lies the Open Air Chapel, a stunning ceremony site that combines rustic elegance with natural beauty. Framed by breathtaking views of the surrounding cotton fields, the chapel’s open design invites the outdoors in, creating a serene and romantic ambiance. Its rustic wooden beams and vaulted ceilings add a touch of charm that perfectly complements the venue’s rich history.
One of the chapel’s most enchanting features is the vintage bell perched high above.

It’s a moment that guests will treasure and one that adds a unique, personal touch to your special day.
For those who prefer an outdoor ceremony with a more natural vibe, the venue’s pecan orchard is an equally picturesque option. Towering pecan trees form a canopy of shade, creating a peaceful and intimate setting for exchanging vows.
