Say "I Do" in Dublin

Owned by Richard and Diane Nesbitt, Rinesdi Acres has spent the last 10 years creating space for life’s most meaningful moments—from unforgettable weddings to joyful family reunions. Originally founded as a peaceful retreat for families with special needs children to enjoy horseback riding and the outdoors, the property’s legacy lives on in every celebration it hosts today.

Just minutes from downtown Dublin, Rinesdi Acres has become a beloved gathering place for families near and far.

Whether you’re saying “I do,” renewing vows, or planning a summer celebration, this venue makes every moment feel magical.

But the Nesbitts’ impact stretches beyond the barn doors. You’ll find Diane volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, and working alongside the Dublin Juneteenth Committee, bringing events like the Soul Food Expo and Taste of Juneteenth to life. Richard serves as Vice President of The Dublin-Laurens County Black History Festival Committee, and has also been a strong voice in the Dublin-Laurens Chamber of Commerce, always working to lift up the community they call home.

Spring and summer are full of celebration in Dublin, from the iconic St. Patrick’s Festival to the cultural flavor of Taste of Juneteenth. So come for the wedding—and stay for the good times.
