This place is absolutely beautiful!! Great place to have the perfect intimate wedding experiences. Diana and Kennedi were absolutely wonderful!! They went above and beyond to help me with the wedding and planning it all out. Having your whole family get to stay on the venue property all together and bond. The cabins were soo cozy and warm.

This was the PERFECT wedding venue; I don't know how it isn't booked every single weekend. For what most places charge you for 6 hours, you get this place for 72 hours (check in Fri, check out Sunday). Doesn't include the cost of the cabins, but once your guests book those you get a big discount on your venue. GORGEOUS location in the northern GA mountains. Has both outdoor and indoor ceremony and reception options so you have an immediate rain contingency plan. I LOVE the cabins onsite- all our wedding party and family stayed on site in cabins that are so lovely, with full kitchens, and of varying sizes. We didn't want a venue with a ton of rules (such as you must use preferred vendors, or pay fees if non-preferred, or must have a bartender or security, etc.) their rules were basically "don't burn it down". Jokes aside, they were SO flexible and accommodating. Megan who runs it was so helpful and available and just amazing.

We really wanted venue that was outdoors with lots of trees and peaceful, had flexibility and had no hidden fees. This more than delivered, it was my elven forest wedding dream venue, it even has a little creek running through it that is so serene, you’re surrounded by the mountains (on the other side of the creek is an adorable field with some cute cows).

All our guests were likewise gushing about both the venue and the cabins. I could not possibly recommend this venue anymore, what an absolute dream, we had a perfect wedding.

My husband and I decided early on to have a 100-count guest list for our December wedding. It was important to us to have a venue that accommodated that size but did not feel too big. The majority of guests would be traveling from out of state so we also wanted onsite accommodations. After touring The Retreat, we knew it was the perfect balance of all we wanted for our wedding. The three ceremony sites gave us peace of mind that no matter what the weather was like, we could switch plans easily and get married in a beautiful setting. We filled all 12 cabins with friends and family who arrived Friday and stayed until Sunday morning. Instead of a rehearsal dinner, we did a Welcome party with all our wedding guests which was so fun and let us have more time with everyone. The venue also had a “wedding closet” which housed tons of decor items and furniture that can be used however you want them to. The best thing about booking The Retreat was working with Megan, their venue coordinator. She was responsive, organized and so kind - she even went out and bought an iron within the same hour of me realizing our cabin didn’t have one! I’m so glad we found this hidden gem and look forward to more stays at The Retreat.

We had an amazing experience at the Retreat. The staff were incredibly helpful and responsive. The grounds were well-kept. And all of our guests loved their time here! We are thankful they also helped us reschedule due to COVID. Really highly recommend!

The venue was beautiful!! The mountains were very colorful which was exactly what I had dreamt about for our wedding! Cabins were also very nice and it was nice to have the families close together in the other cabins on the property. 10/10 recommend!!

The whole process in booking and organizing my wedding weekend was exceptional and seamless. We reserved the venue and all of the cabins on the property to allow family and friends to reserve cabins individually and stay on the property all weekend with us. Everything was clean and absolutely perfect. Megan was our go-to gal and she was fantastic, very responsive, understanding, and helpful throughout the whole process. I could not have imagined a better wedding weekend if i tried. Not to mention the venue is BEAUTIFUL and an unbelievable value for the money. Do yourself a favor and look no further for the perfect venue!

This venue was so perfect for our vow renewal, Megan was the most helpful, sweetest and attentive person I have had the pleasure of meeting and I am so thankful for her help through the whole process. We have a home not far from here and the mountains are the perfect place but the outdoor barn church was the absolute most gorgeous venue and the river outside was breathtaking! I would recommend this for any kind of event or even a weekend getaway! Thank you again so much to Megan for everything that helped make my day perfect!

This venue is BEAUTIFUL. It is very well kept and there are many many options for locations for your ceremony and pictures. We filmed a wedding here and the staff could not have been more welcoming! Highly recommend!!!

I could not have asked for a better wedding venue! Megan was an absolute dream to work with. She was so responsive and flexible. I highly recommend getting your friends and family to rent all the cabins for your wedding weekend. It felt so secluded and intimate. 1000% recommend!

We fell in love with this venue! Very laid back and beautiful by the river! Really try to help in any way they can!
