    Wedding March 09

    This was the absolute best place not only was the staff extremely helpful. Levi is the best. But everything was affordable. I could not have asked for a more special Wedding Venue and Reception. I would 100% recommend this beautiful place.

    Everyone at Forest Hills was very accommodating. They took care of everything from photography to our small homemade delicious wedding cake. The photographer was a plus beautiful pictures. Great couples massage the day before and wonderful carriage ride to our ceremony site!

    An absolutely perfect wedding weekend

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception recently at Forrest Hills, and every single thing about it was fantastic — from the ceremony site itself (the Fox Hollow gazebo) to the Rose Garden Dining Room reception, from the lodge we booked for our friends and family to stay with us to the absolutely amazing breakfasts Saturday and Sunday, from working with Levi, the wedding coordinator (and an absolute rock star) to the beautiful views all over the property. I cannot say enough about what an absolutely wonderful time we had, as well as our guests. People have been texting me daily complimenting the venue and our reception food (the pork loin and creamed corn are basically the stuff of...

    Absolutely amazing

    What can I say but Forrest Hill Resort allowed my husband and I to have the fairytale wedding of our dreams! From the amazing staff to the breathtaking scenery and lodges. Our wedding coordinator Levi is absolutely the best, his amazing smile with the personality to match understood our vision and made it happen, he touched bases on the times the carriage ride would pick us up as well as the weather forecast..... The Secret Garden was decorated beautifully, and the food was great champagne glasses stayed filled and our guest were so happy..and this those who stayed said they'll be back for a anniversary or wedding planning. Now the most gracious, exciting, well-spoken, beautiful Wedding officiant Mrs. Jackie...

    5 star service

    Everything went as planned. The venue delivered everything as promised. The room- accommodations were super clean, the ceremony venue was a dream with the fall foliage and the reception was amazing. The chef did a superb job, the bartender and serves were super friendly and polite catering to everyone's needs and Levi Hansard the venue wedding director went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were taken care of. I absolutely without any hesitation recommend this venue. Thanks to all of their efforts I had the wedding I had envisioned.

    Incredible Time

    June 28th 2022 my wife and I got married at Forrest Hills Mountain Resort. We are both a little older and this was not our 1st marriage. We enjoyed the Resort and all the staff! We stayed 5 nights with close friends and family. The food was excellent and our wedding coordinator Levi was the best. The Resort grounds and the area is beautiful with alot of things to do. The prices are reasonable in my opinion. We will go back someday.

    No Words to Express the Absolute Joy

    As my review title states, there are no words that will adequately describe the happiness and joy that I felt during our wedding weekend. I wish I could say the feelings began that weekend but they did not. From the moment I met Levi, I KNEW Forrest Hills Mountain Resort was the venue for us. He was absolutely amazing from the very beginning. From our initial meeting, my love for his staff grew. I will ALWAYS have connection with Ms. Jackie. I LOVE this group and you can tell that they love what they do and take pride in their work. There is not one aspect of our weekend that I have anything negative to say. Everything was absolutely perfect...and I mean everything. I will recommend Forrest Hills Resort ten times over today and always.

    Forrest Hills Resort & Levi Hansard will be the best decision you make for your wedding!

    From my initial reach out to Levi at Forrest Hills, his professionalism, kindness, & knowledge made him stand out from the other venues we were touring. During the year+ time from when we decided to move forward with Forrest Hills, Levi was available, friendly, & helpful with any questions we had no matter how big or small. His services were unparalleled from the preparation through day of. Even things I thought I had fully thought through, Levi had thought of better & more thoroughly. We could not have made a better decision when it came to who we decided to trust with help on one of the biggest days of our lives.

    Best Day of My Life

    Forrest Hills Resort is so beautiful!! I had my wedding in the Secret Garden, and if you are a bride like me who wanted something small and intimate, this is DEFINITELY the place for you!! Levi was such an amazing help. Everything from decor to picking my wedding march. Levi was there every step of the way to help make my day absolutely perfect. I will never forget his kindness. You can tell he has been in the industry for a long time! He is knowledgeable, personable, insightful. Everything you want and need from a wedding planner.

    Exceeded My Expectations!

    Even if I tried, there are not words adequate to describe my entire wedding experience with Levi and Forrest Hills. This place and the amazing coordinaotre they have actually made for a stress free bride! The attention to detail and the ease of communication made our entire event so spectacular. It sounds like I am writing a fairy tale but it is all true. If you are getting married and want a stress free, beautiful serene setting then Forrest Hills is your place!! The prices were so well within budget too and they respect that also which made it that much better!

    Perfect place for our wedding!

    Location:
    Forrest Hills is located in North Georgia, in the Chattahoochee National Forest. It is a gorgeous drive to get there, no matter what route you take. You don’t get good cell phone service here, but hopefully, you’ll be too busy relaxing and/or having fun to need it!

    Accommodations:
    Our guests stayed in Mountain Laurel Lodge, Eagle’s Nest, as well as a cabin on site. Mountain Laurel is newly renovated and a comfortable stay. Plus it was great to have all our guests in one place and not have to worry about how our guests would get back to their stay once our reception was over. The hot tubs and fire pit are great amenities, too! It...

    Fantastic Wedding Venue

    Forrest Hills helped us make our dream wedding come true. Everyone was so helpful and professional at our reception and our guests had a great time. Levi helped us every step of the way and went above and beyond to ensure our special day was amazing.

    Absolutely amazing!

    From the very first time I reached out to Forrest Hills Resort, Levi was very quick to respond and was always so kind and patient while answering my endless amount of questions. We decided to have a destination wedding at FHR so there were many questions and things to figure out while being so far away and he never hesitated to answer all my questions and keep my worries at ease! Thankfully for Levi I never had to stress much or worry about anything because he had everything planned out and knew what he was doing. He has done so many weddings and really knows what he’s doing, and it shows through his work. I will forever recommend Forrest...

    The most beautiful valentine wedding

    The food at Forrest Hills Mountain resort is absolutely delicious! The property is really pretty and The cabins are nice. It was such a pleasure working with Levi Hansard. My beautiful Valentine wedding had zero hiccups. My guests could not quit telling me how perfect everything was.

    Flawless, would highly recommend

    Our Vow Renewal started as a last minute decision 3 weeks before our event. From our first phone call with Levi until our final goodbye the morning after nothing could have went smoother. We told him many times “we don’t know what we’re doing” so he continued to guide us along the way and helped us plan an entire wedding in 3 weeks. We never felt pressure or like we were under a time crunch (even though poor Levi was probably going crazy behind the scenes) he never once projected anything onto us other than pure joy and excitement. We truly left the resort feeling as if we had made a connection and will be spending our anniversaries there...

    Wedding Weekend

    We were so pleased with our wedding weekend at Forrest Hills. Everything went so smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue. All of our guests were able to stay at the lodge with us and celebrate.
    Levi and his team did an amazing job coordinating everything. We can’t wait to go back and rent a cabin for a quiet weekend away.

    Beautiful Venue!

    My husband and I got married here in October. Everything about the venue was perfect - the scenery, the food, the decor, the staff - I have absolutely nothing bad to say! I recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for planning to be simple and for the event to be stunning. The venue provides chairs for the ceremony and seating and decor for the reception. The catering is done through the venue as well, which was great. Easy to book and great food. The packages they offer are GREAT deals for the services they provide. There are indoor and outdoor options for larger ceremonies, and other options for smaller ceremonies. Levi is very responsive, friendly and accommodating. I will certainly recommend FHR to other couples!

    Forrest Hills Wedding

    I can not rave enough about how amazing of an experience I had with Levi and his team at Forrest Hills. They made my wedding day an absolute breeze and I really needed it. Levi was there to help and answer calls with anything I needed. My day turned out beautiful, and my husband and I plan on coming back to stay at the resort♥️.

    A whimsical carefree fun wedding

    My name is Casey Craig as of 8.8.2020. This past weekend I got married at Forrest hills and let me tell you the experience was nothing but perfect. From the moment I met Levi to tour the venue to nailing down the small details , Levi was there EVERY step of the way. He was just what my wedding needed! Levi is low key (barefoot a lot of the time) but still holds a level of professionalism. He kept me calm through it all , which was not always an easy task. He was an asset to my wedding. The venue was amazing in itself. We decided to do the “chuck wagon” rehearsal dinner. Let me tell you that...

    Amazing experience

    Levi and his staff at Forrest Hills helped make our son's wedding and events surrounding it wonderful. Weddings are stressful anyway with all the planning but add a pandemic in and it just adds even more stress. Levi and staff made it perfect. The rehearsal was great and the wedding was beautiful. We had no stress added to our load because they took care of everything. Wonderful experience! Beautiful settings inside and out.

We had a tight budget and we were lucky enough to stay under with this beautifully breathtaking venue. I couldn’t have asked for a better day!

    Top notch from Day One!!!

    Forrest Hills Mountain Resort not only met, but exceeded our expectations in every way, from the first contact via email and then phone! An exceptional resort that was built and has been owned and operated by the same family for 40 years and the brother and sister co-owners are present, involved and just as friendly as the staff. Jackie and all of the front desk staff were friendly, considerate, responsive, accommodating and respectful. The website is very detailed and comprehensive with lots of accurate photos. The way the resort and accommodations are described on the website are spot on and exactly how they are in person. We received a warm welcome and excellent service everywhere at the resort. There...

    Winter Wedding Dream

    Forrest Hills was the perfect background for a fairytale wedding in every season and guests love staying at the resort too! From their cabins to their lodges there is a place for everyone to stay comfortably and happily. Breakfast was always delicious and the front office and their staff are some of the nicest people around. I have nothing but great things to say about this resort and Levi, the wedding coordinator, makes planning weddings so much better! He worked with my people and I from the start and was a complete delight! Thanks for everything Forrest Hills!

    Absolutely perfect

    Our wedding and our entire experience could not have been better, from beginning to end. Levi was responsive, knowledge, and accommodating throughout the entire planning period. We just loved spending the weekend with our closest family and friends and making memories together. The food was just exceptional!! From the buffet to the cake, so many of our guests raved to us about the food. The service was also top notch. We feel lucky to have found this perfect spot for our perfect day!

    Forrest Hills is amazing!

    To start of with, the venue itself is just gorgeous! You have multiple sites to choose from. I went with the outside Secret Garden. Perfect for smaller weddings like mine. The staff was so super friendly! We never felt rushed or like we were a burden. They helped keep things running smoothly. And the wedding coordinator was Amazing! Very easy to communicate with, and very quick response time. He helped walk us through every little step. He was there for set up, the ceremony and clean up. And made sure multiple times that we had everything we needed. I get stressed very easily, but everything went so perfectly that I was able to enjoy every moment. The food was...
