About

Reynolds Lake Oconee

Approximately 90 miles east of Atlanta and about 70 miles west of Augusta in the rolling lake country of Georgia, Reynolds Lake Oconee is a club and resort of uncommon character. With 117 holes sitting on six golf courses, multiple dining venues led by our Certified Master Chef, 4 full-service marinas, sporting grounds, and 21 miles of walking and biking trails, Reynolds Lake Oconee is an extraordinary community offering distinct venues and overnight accommodations overlooking forests, fairways, and the sparkling waters of Lake Oconee.

No matter the size of your wedding celebration, Reynolds Lake Oconee has the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception venues to make every wedding dream a reality. From the beautifully restored 19th-century Sandy Creek Barn, to our Great Waters clubhouse offering stunning views of Lake Oconee, and finally the Rock House right on the lake for small intimate weddings, Reynolds has the perfect backdrop for your wedding day.

The Sandy Creek Barn- Overlooking a 44-acre stocked pond and two-story boathouse, the Sandy Creek Barn at Reynolds Lake Oconee is a completely restored wood-beam barn located on 812 acres. Sandy Creek Barn was originally built in 1820 by Gideon Widemire, who spent several years collecting timber from all over the state of Pennsylvania to build the large dairy barn. Discovered in 2005, the barn was transported to Georgia, reconstructed and restored to a magnificent 6,750+ sq. ft. lodge on its present site at Reynolds Lake Oconee. It features exposed hardwoods, rugged stone accents, an antique saloon bar, covered terrace, and outdoor event porch.

  • Inside the barn we can accommodate a reception style reception (passed appetizers with stations) for up to 150 guests and a plated meal for up to 100 guests. The adjacent lawn area can accommodate a tent for a reception for up to 500 guests.

Great Waters Clubhouse sits atop a sloping hill with stunning views of Lake Oconee and the Great Waters golf course. This is the perfect site for lakeside weddings and intimate gatherings. The clubhouse offers bay windows and a broad-wrap around porch overlooking the lake, while the large event lawn is ideal for outdoor celebrations.

  • Inside the Great Waters Clubhouse we can accommodate a reception style reception (passed appetizers with stations) for up to 150 guests and a plated meal for up to 100 guests. The event lawn and outdoor patio will easily accommodate 300+ guests.

The Rock House- Aptly named The Rock House, this rustic venue is a replica of the Reynolds family’s turn-of-the-century hunting lodge which currently sits at the bottom of Lake Oconee. With indoor and outdoor fireplaces, a large veranda overlooking the lake and stone walls with a high wood beamed ceiling this venue is intimate, cozy and will leave a lasting impression for an intimate wedding.

  • Inside The Rock House we can accommodate a reception style reception (passed appetizers with stations) for up to 65 guests and a plated meal for up to 40 guests.

The BEST Wedding Experience

My husband and I had the absolute best experience with Reynolds Lake Oconee.
From the day that we visited venues throughout our wedding and the week after, Reynolds was genuinely interested in making our weekend special. During the planning phase, they patiently listened to our requests, made recommendations, coordinated with vendors, and responded in a timely manner while being mindful of our limits. During the week of our wedding, the Reynolds coordinator personally met up with me multiple times and coordinated a very thorough walk through with the entire team to go over all the details to make sure everything was perfect. During the wedding weekend, everything was absolutely beautiful and flowed seamlessly. Our guests had a wonderful time at all of our events.
We would highly recommend hosting any event, especially a wedding at Reynolds.
1. Top Service – Responsive, reliable, genuinely interested in concerns, best customer service
2. Beautiful venues and multiple options (Reynolds will assist making any space your dream venue)
3. The most delicious food! We did a casual lakeside BBQ for our rehearsal dinner and it was the best BBQ I’ve ever had. Our guests raved about it. On our wedding day, we did stations and had a variety of options that were all delicious and presented beautifully.
4. Flexibility – We had to move our wedding date due to Covid. Reynolds simply let us pick another day and made it an extremely smooth and not costly transition.
5. Accommodations – A variety of options for guests to stay at. Our guests stayed at the National cottages and Lake Club condos. Our guests were blown away at the

Reminiscing about our wedding weekend, we cannot even think of anything that slightly was out of place. Reynolds made everything perfect and went above and beyond our expectations. We are going to remember our wedding week for the rest of our lives and will continue to come back to Reynolds.

June 2021 Sandy Creek Barn thanks

Dawn, Reynolds's wedding coordinator, was amazing to work with as we planned my daughter's wedding during uncertain times. All of the bride's dreams came true for the ceremony and reception. All of the staff were friendly, helpful, and eager to make the day the best!

Dream Wedding Come True

Having our wedding at Reynolds was absolutely a dream come true! As a corporate and wedding event planner I had very high expectations for my wedding day. Planning our wedding with Dawn was a blast and it was like planning something with your best friend. Everything we requested she effortlessly made happen and on top of that her team was able to bring it all to life on the actual wedding day. The chef was so much fun to work with and was able to customize our menus to exactly what we had hoped for and even create an authentic Chinese dinner for our rehearsal night. On our wedding day Dawn had multiple events so Chloe was onsite to make sure everything ran smoothly. Since I had planned everything with Dawn I was slightly hesitant about this but Chloe was an absolute godsend and executed everything flawlessly. The banquet staff (shoutout to our amazing banquet captain Hershey) treated all of our guests like VIPs ensuring that they had plenty of water, wine and food so that they could dance the night away. The entire Reynolds staff anticipated our every need and did what we needed before we even knew to ask. Our wedding was truly a dream come true and it would not have been possible without the team at Reynolds or their amazing venues. At Reynolds you’re treated like family and our wedding was a day we will never forget!

Every idea and detail that we suggested, the team said "Yes!" to. They were so excited to try and incorporate new ideas into their process to create our perfect wedding. Dawn Leonetti with Reynolds is not only a gem, but a JOY to work with! She always builds you up, makes you excited, and has you leaving with a smile on your face.

Fantastic venue & wonderful people

Reynolds Lake Oconee has many beautiful potential venues for weddings. Our larger wedding experience had to be postponed for a year due to COVID, but the Lake Club ballroom was a perfect setting for a smaller wedding experience. The entire team was extremely flexible when the ceremony had to be moved indoors due to heavy rain on the lawn by the lake. They were so flexible, they even pushed back our entree service due to a late wedding party arrival (above and beyond service!). They were very nice and easy to deal with throughout our entire experience and I look forward to another fantastic experience next year when we can experience a larger celebration at the Sandy Creek Barn.

Rainy Bliss

Dawn was AH-MAZING. She made everything happen. I never had to ask for anything - my needs were not only met, but exceeded - that included coming in from pictures after our ceremony wet from the rain and having fresh towels ready and available to dry off with quickly. We never had to leave our table for a drink and every request was met with excitement. The food was absolutely delicious - Chef actually cared and gave suggestions about the menu. I can't say enough about how awesome the Reynolds Lake Oconee team was - especially our Dear Dawn!
