If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Summit Farms was the first venue we chose to look at. We met with Becca on a Sunday and they even kept a wedding they held the night before in place so we could visually take in what they had to offer. Becca walked us not only through the venue, but the whole process. She felt like a friend by the time we left. She really already had us sold. We didn't want to be those people who went with what we first saw so we looked at a couple other venues. But, they just did not feel right. We felt as if our wedding day would be more of a business transaction than an experience. From the moment we signed our contract, they were on it. It such a huge relief that they handle 99% of the planning, the 1% they do not handle, they have recommendations for, questionnaires, forms, etc. Their Pinterest page was a huge help in putting the items we were responsible for (decor / aesthetics) together. Becca was super responsive on any question I had and worked so well with us to provide the perfect day. What's even better, is you get the whole Hood Family when you have book at Summit Farm. The Hood Family (Russell, Leta, Becca, and Sam) are the greatest people you will ever meet. They truly work so hard and strive to make your vision come to life and ensure the day of runs as smoothly as possible. We also booked "The Lewis House" for the night before and of. The cutest home and SO spacious. Ellijay had suffered a storm a few days prior to our wedding that cut the power out to the farm and the home. Leta had called me the Thursday before to inform the barn was fine and everything was on a generator but the house was out of power and that the candles I wanted for the tables were on back order and delayed shipping due to the storm as well. She mentioned she had placed another order on Amazon and was hoping they would come in on time. The rehearsal came around and this where we really got to see Kelly, the day of coordinator, shine. The sweetest lady and let me tell you, she is on it! The rehearsal and day of ran so smoothly. She also assisted our photographer through all the pictures, from picking up my dress, to holding my flowers. Ugh, she was perfect!

Going back to the power issue, Leta kept me posted on the power status of The Lewis House all throughout the day Friday. She finally received word that the power had came back on while we were at our rehearsal dinner and we were able to stay both nights. A HUGE convenience to just be a minute away from the venue.

The next morning, they were working on putting everything together. The flicker (black) candles had not come in yet (these were originally to come from the florist and were on back order and hence why Leta ordered some herself), and sweet Leta, had gone to Walmart the night before to get dark blue candles and painted them black herself. I could have cried! We were totally okay changing our plan and using what was available but Leta was NOT having it. She told me she understood my vision and wanted to ensure I had it. It is just one testament of the type of people the Hood's are. We were SO lucky to have had them for our special day.

I feel like I could go on and on about how great our experience with Summit Farm was from beginning to end but I am unsure of how many characters these reviews allow LOL. If you are looking for wholesome people, who will literally put you above all things, this is the place. They are exceptional at what the do and I honestly sad our time with them has come to an end. You can not go wrong with Summit Farm. From the people, decorations, vendors, staff, the views, etc. it was all just so so great. We are forever grateful to have meet them and hope to maintain a relationship from afar. We are just so blessed and we could not have imagined our wedding any different. It was truly meant to be.

We had an amazing experience with Summit Farm Weddings! From the moment we arrived to tour the venue, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The view is stunning, the reception barn is beautiful, and the venue staff is warm and welcoming. We loved that it is family owned and operated. Leta and Russell are so kind and helpful, and Becca made the planning process as easy as planning a wedding can be!

Our day-of coordinator Kelly was excellent - she kept everything moving and was our rock when things got chaotic due to a massive thunderstorm that rolled through during our ceremony. Despite the rain, the venue team was quick and efficient to get umbrellas out to guests and ensure we still got our perfect day. The power even went out, but the back up generator came on within seconds and powered us through the rest of the evening! When my bustles snapped, Kelly was right there ready to help us sew my dress back up. There was even a calf born during our ceremony, who they let us choose the name for which was another beautiful party of an already special day.

I cannot praise this team enough for our incredible experience - planning and executing a wedding is stressful no matter what, but Summit Farm made it as stress-free as possible. Every vendor that they connected us with were top-tier. Our stormy ceremony was captured by Morgan Gore Photography, who got STUNNING photos of our event. We only got a small cake for cutting from Veronica, but it was SO good that we wished we had more! Our DJ Rich from Complete Events was awesome and kept the crowd dancing all night, and our florist Judy from Hometown Florist created the most beautiful arbor and bouquets that perfectly complemented our color scheme. We also rented a photobooth from Michele at Blue Ridge Florist which was a huge hit! We had the BBQ menu from Bigun's and the charcuterie from Hannah at Black Oak Charcuterie, everyone was raving about the food all night.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the Summit Farm team! We love you! 100000/10

Summit Farm Weddings was wonderful from the day we booked them until the very end of the wedding day. The venue is beautiful, and the staff is fantastic. I can’t think of a single thing they could have done better. They took great care of us throughout the process. We paid them about $16,000. It included the DJ, the bartender, the photographer, the wedding day coordinator, all setup and cleanup, table decorations, food for 65 people, including two extra sides and a delicious wedding cake, and $1000 for flowers. I highly recommend that you have your wedding at Summit Farm. You’ll be very glad you did!!
