Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa

I couldn't be happier with my decision to choose Brasstown Valley Resort as my venue. Everything was absolutely perfect-the stunning sunset view overlooking the mountains, the food was amazing (which wedding food doesn't normally impress me), and the overall ambiance of the resort and amenities. With that being said, my coordinator through BVR, Savannah, was the icing on the cake. She was quick to respond, flexible, and never had me worried about anything! She is a gem. If I could do it all over again I would pick BVR. We got nothing but rave reviews from our guests!

We loved our experience at Brasstown Valley!! We got married on the waterfall lawn and had our reception in the ballroom, which was the perfect space for our 110 guests. The food was SO GOOD, 10/10 recomend the mac and cheese bar if you have the option. Savannah made our day run SO smoothly. Throughout the whole planning process she was extremely responsive and able to answer any questions we had. Day of she was exaclty what you want out of a coordinator- quiet, behind the scences, getting stuff done. A few of my bridesmaids complimented her too and said she was the nicest coordiantor they've met after being in a few weddings this year. The morning of our day big day was peaceful. The only note I have, and its more of a heads up than anything, is that there can be 2 weddings on the same day at Brasstown. The getting ready rooms for the brides are on the same hall, which can feel a little chaotic. That being said, if you get married at BVR I highly recommend renting cottages. My bridesmaids and I had one, the boys had their own and my family had one. Even though the cottages are withing walking distance of the lodge/venue, they really do feel secluded and peaceful and it was so nice to have that space to get ready in the morning of. Also becuase of there being the potential of 2 weddings on the same day, its possible the popular photopgraphy spots may be being used when you want them. My husband I did our first look in a different location than origianally planned, but I think it turned out even better than our first plan. It still felt private and secluded and felt like something out of a fairytale. My husband and I both wish we could re-live our day 100 times over again. It was perfect.

I have tried many times to type a review but no words compared of how great the experience we had with this venue. Kristen was absolutely amazing. During all the worries and stress about Covid all the way until are wedding day she was always there for us. She answered questions my husband, mom, dad, and I had. Kristen is very patient and down to earth. My wedding was more than I imagined. They also went over and beyond to make my guest feel more safe at the venue. Also all the staff were very kind to our family and friends. To this day I receive compliments about the venue and the staff. Thank you for going over and beyond and making my wedding SO magical!

Savannah and the team at Brasstown Valley were the most amazing professionals to work with! They made our story book wedding come to life despite it being in the middle of a pandemic. Savannah literally goes through every possible scenario guiding you through the process and makes getting married the easiest thing you'll ever do! From the moment we first met to discuss the possibility of our wedding until we left after our honeymoon, every single need was met with excellence, professionalism and promptness. The entire staff is unbelievably helpful and it made for the perfect wedding. Having everything conveniently in one location made it easy for our family to gather, socialize and celebrate every minute of our wedding. The restaurant hosted our rehearsal dinner and the private dining room was a perfect location. Our wedding, held in the Creekside Pavilion, was the most magical venue ever - it was secluded and private and felt like we had the entire resort to ourselves. Our guests loved being able to stay in either the cabins or the lodge and it made gathering easy because we were all conveniently located together. The ladies at the Spa took excellent care of me and did a fantastic job on my hair! And, after our wedding, we had a great time horse riding at the stables. Literally, Brasstown Valley Resort and Spa is the PERFECT place to host your wedding! The only disappointment I have is that the wedding is over...I want to go back and do it all again! :)

I met with Savannah when we were looking at different venues trying to decide where we wanted to have our wedding. I instantly felt like I had someone who wanted to know my vision and make our day exactly how we wanted. After our tour and having a talk about options, we booked with Brasstown Valley that day. We have been married for 3 weeks now and I honestly could not have been happier with Brasstown Valley or with Savannah. Not only was the day amazing but the venue itself made for some beautiful photos that we have started to get back! They have a recommended vendor list and it was very helpful. These people are familiar with the venue and are great as well!
Do yourself a favor and go check this venue out! You won’t be disappointed. Oh!! I almost forgot- the food was amazing! Like really, really good!

My wedding at Brasstown was absolutely beautiful! The scenery was amazing, the resort was stunning, and the people there were so helpful. Savannah was an absolutely life saver and answered all of my questions and helped the day of go smoothly. I 100% recommend Brasstown!! My special day was perfect!

While we're still in the midst of planning, my fiance and I are so thankful to be getting married at Brasstown Valley. We're planning from afar, but were able to stop by over the weekend. The staff (esp. Kris Golden!) have been amazing -- flexible, accommodating, organized -- and we are so confident that this will be an incredible wedding (and wedding planning) experience.

UPDATE Post-Wedding: Words cannot describe how happy we are that we chose Brasstown Valley (BVR). We fell in love with the service and mountain-lodge vibes from the moment we first visited in 2018. We are one of the many couples that was impacted by COVID cancellations and rescheduling, and Brasstown Valley was wonderfully flexible with us. We initially chose BVR for the location, the availability of lodging onsite, and the amazing hospitality.
We worked with Savannah, who was incredibly responsive, organized, and problem-solving. BVR has incredible service all the way from housekeeping to bartenders to behind-the-scenes administration, and because of the wonderful staff, our long-awaited marriage celebration went on without a hitch. There were multiple weddings going on concurrently, but BVR made us, and our guests, feel like we were the only ones. We whole-heartedly and without hesitation recommend BVR as a wedding venue. Thanks again to BVR!!

Couldn’t have picked a better place for our destination wedding in the mountains of northern Georgia. Every guest was impressed and we have the most amazing photos of our beautiful day!

After getting engaged, my fiance and I were looking for a venue that could give us a "destination wedding" feel, but not too far away from Atlanta where we live. Brasstown Valley was perfect! Our guests were all able to stay on property for the weekend and enjoy all of the festivities. Kris was very accommodating and easy to work with. The food was great and the views were incredible. I highly recommend this venue.

My husband and I are from Florida but love the mountains. We weren't finding much that we loved in Florida, so my husband brought to my attention the city of Young Harris which he has visited many times throughout his childhood. The moment we walked onto the Sunset terrace we knew that this was the place that we were going to be married. The whole property is beautiful! We worked with Kristen Crabtree who was very professional and helpful the whole step of the way. I was planning from Florida which can be a bit more stressful but Kristen answered any questions and in a timely manner. My parents came with me for a visit and met with Kristen and she was so patient and understanding when it came to answering the questions my parents had, especially my mother :) We had the majority of our guests stay at the resort and in the cottages that they have on property as well. All of my bridesmaids stayed in one cottage and the groomsmen in another cottage. Each cottage has a parlor area that is very spacious with full kitchen, pull out couch, fire place and table. The bridesmaids and groomsmen got ready in the parlor area. It was perfect set up for our vendors like hair and makeup and we brought in our own food as well while we were getting ready. Our guests loved the cottages as well, it was great area to get together after the reception of throughout their visit. We had a lot of guests make a vacation out of it which was nice to have the extra time to visit with them, since the wedding day goes by in a blink of an eye.
On the day of our wedding we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather and all of our guests were just amazed how beautiful the view was and I even had some friends considering having their wedding there as well. I couldn't have asked for a better venue, it was more than perfect and something I will cherish for the rest of my life and I can't wait to get back there and visit again!
