A North Georgia Wedding Venue
Weddings in the North Georgia Mountains are very popular these days, and for a good reason! Maybe you started shopping for an Atlanta area wedding venue but then realized that you and your guests could actually escape the city for a relaxing weekend get-away in the country and spend the day celebrating your wedding at a stunning and relaxing North Georgia mountain wedding venue. That makes perfect sense to us!
1- The waterfront ceremony spot has always been the icing on the cake at Willow Creek Farm. There is simply no other place like it! The laurel arbor sits at the confluence of two mountain creeks where they merge and flow into the forest as one. How romantic is that! The arbor is handcrafted from twisted mountain laurel harvested from the property. The stone pathway, the sight and sounds of flowing water, the forest in the foreground and meadows and mountains in the background, the stunning custom built black gate all make this spot LIKE NO OTHER! Can we talk drama? When the processional starts and the big gates open and the bride walks through, it really is very sensational and dramatic!!
2. The reception space. The reception space at Willow Creek Farm has just undergone a major facelift and the results are stunning! We are calling this new aesthetic “mountain modern”. The white washed wood walls, the newly refinished floors, new modern chandeliers and hanging greenery installations on the 3 huge center chandeliers all make this space very dramatic, while also being warm and inviting!
3. The she shed. The she-shed decor warehouse at Willow Creek Farm has most everything you need to decorate your ceremony and reception spaces! We have a large inventory of table top decor, signs, cake stands, lanterns, tables, chairs, tablecloths and various other props and our couples have free access to these items. There is no extra charge to use the items in the she shed!
4. The bridal Cottage. The Bridal Cottage at Willow Creek Farm is actually an entire cottage, not just a little room. The space is approx. 900 sq. Feet and it is very elegant and luxurious! You will love the Hair and makeup bar where 8 bridesmaids plus the bride can get ready at the same time! Some of our favorite things about the bridal cottage are the hair and makeup bar, the salon chair, the full bathroom, the private dressing room, the buffet which is perfect for a mimosa bar or a bridal brunch, the beautiful sofas and chairs and the huge windows that let in lots of natural light. This large luxurious space is a photographer’s dream!
5. The Groom’s cabin. The groom’s cabin is on a separate area of Willow Creek Farm and sits right at the edge of the creek. This is a fun space and is far enough away that the guys can get outside, hang out on the deck and enjoy a game of corn hole without anyone worrying about the bride and groom seeing each other before the ceremony!
6. Fire Pit. Can we talk about the best fire pit ever? Adjacent to the cocktail hour pavilion, the fire pit at Willow Creek Farm is surrounded by fun swings and cafe lights and is the perfect spot for a smore station and a relaxing chat by the fire. If you are at a Wedding in the North Georgia Mountains, an awesome fire pit is essential!
7. Rain plan. The cocktail hour pavilion at Willow Creek Farm can also double as a dance floor and a rain plan! Our couples love that, in the case of inclement weather, they have a covered ceremony space that is totally separate from the reception space. No one wants to get married in the room that is already set up with dinner tables and chairs! The pavilion is a wonderful backup ceremony location and you still get the separate experience of dinner and dancing inside the main hall!
8.North Georgia Micro Weddings. Willow Creek offers micro wedding pricing designed for weddings with 50 guests or less. Our pricing is all on the website so be sure to take a look! We do book up early though so our advice is to start venue shopping as soon as possible once you are engaged.
9. Pricing and Flexibility. Did you know that Willow Creek offers affordable 2 day pricing!? One of our most popular rentals is a Thursday / Friday 2 day package. If you get married on a Friday, you can add Thursday (8 hours) for only $1,500 extra. This gives you the day to decorate the reception space from all of the wonderful items in our prop room, set up the bridal suite and groom’s cabins with all of your personal items, rehearse and have your rehearsal dinner on site! It is a fun and relaxing day at the venue with your friends and family as you prep for the big day ahead! Willow Creek also offers the option to 1- book a package that includes a bundle of vendors or 2- book your vendors individually (and we provide you with a preferred vendor list to help with that).
10. Location Location Location. Can we talk about the fact that Willow Creek Farm is a Cleveland GA Wedding Venue located right in the middle of the Dahlonega Plateau, a designated wine region and the Georgia Wine Trail? This beautiful North Georgia mountain area is surrounded by more than 1/2 dozen wineries, a new distillery and multiple fun venues offering food, entertainment and agri-tourism attractions. Over 50% of the land in White County is either part of the Chattahoochee National Forest or a State Park so there are many wonderful hikes, waterfalls, swimming and mountain biking opportunities as well. We love the fact that this Cleveland GA Wedding Venue is located in a small mountain town that is full of fun places to go!
