 The Sweetwater Branch Inn is one of the most delightful venues in which to host an event. From the beautifully appointed historic bed and breakfast homes, to the always blooming gardens, the lovely reception hall, the legendary service and heavenly food, you can't go wrong! As a wedding decorator, we have worked with hundreds of happy brides at this fabulous facility. We highly recommend them as a venue for weddings and the wedding reception, reharsal dinners, and any other very special event. Joan Prange, Prange's Florist
