    Breath taking views and amazing day!

    Melaine is a wonderful person and host for our wedding ! She and her crew made our wedding a day / night to remember! Our wedding was nothing short of perfect. I wanted everything perfect and it was! The views are outstanding, the cottages were perfect, the bridal suite made me feel like a star and all the little details came together perfectly with Melaine and a coordinator. Such an amazing experience!

    Where dreams are realized

    I have known Melanie long before she undertook this ambitious vision. I never doubted that The Barn at Young Harris would exceed everyone’s expectation. . . . and it most certainly does! Wendell and Melanie have worked tirelessly to create a dream come true. Surrounded by breathtaking mountains with Brasstown Bald being the centerpiece, this venue is continually improved by the owners who really care to provide unparalleled experiences for all who come. I feel that those who choose The Barn at Young Harris have chosen memories for a lifetime.

    Amazing wedding - memories of a lifetime!

    AMAZING, ONE-OF-A-KIND WEDDING VENUE! I am a Mom of five children - this is my fourth experience planning a wedding. Both the rehearsal dinner, the wedding day, and actual wedding were wonderful and seamless much in part because of The Barn, but most importantly because of its owner, Melanie. She was so very easy to work with and it was a pleasure to work with Melanie and Wendall, her husband.

    We toured The Barn in early January this year and knew immediately this was perfect for our son and daughter-in-law. As our plans developed, Melanie was always available to ask questions and we received a response in a timely manner, even when she was on vacation with her family (and please know we had many questions and needs). Her ideas were very helpful and when our guest numbers continued to change at the last minute, she never missed a beat to accommodate our needs. She is organized, friendly, enjoyable, offered many barn accessories in our rental, worked well with our vendors, and honestly, is just very in tune with making the bride and groom happy by meeting their expectations for their dream wedding.

    Please also know that I am not sugarcoating this review, I am just stating our personal experience related to the planning of and actual rehearsal dinner and wedding this past weekend - it was everything we every dreamed of for our children. We highly recommend The Barn at Young Harris to anyone that desires a beautiful venue and easy planning experience.

    Spectacular View

    Wow!
    We were so blessed The Barn at Young Harris was available our special weekend!
    The owner is kind and thorough...and having a cottage on site was very helpful for my now husband to have and visit with family that traveled from afar.
    The view is amazing. The facilities were spot on. Having the curtains surrounding the patio was most helpful on a chilly night.
    Just an amazing location!!

    Wonderful view

    We got married on 10/15/20 and we loved this venue. It is very reasonably priced and there are beautiful cabins available for out of town guests. Melanie answered all my questions throughout the months before the wedding. She was always polite and kind even when I was stressed. She was very accommodating for our situation and helped us stay socially distanced for our pandemic wedding. Also, the grounds were perfectly landscaped thanks to her husband Wendell. Definitely recommend this venue to brides who love a gorgeous view and rustic chic feel.

    The best choice you can make!

    This place was a beautiful dream! Melanie worked incredibly hard to make sure the layout and planning were all implemented to my requests. She went above and beyond which most people do not do. The setting was everything and more than I imagined...a gorgeous mountain backdrop, a spacious pavilion for dinner, and the barn itself worked perfectly for dancing and fun at the end of the night. We also rented the cottages for our bridal party to stay which worked out so well! This venue took my breath away when I first saw it and I can't speak highly enough of my experience! Thank you, Melanie!

    December 21, 2019

    My granddaughter is serving in the Army and stationed in Texas. When she announced to the family that she was getting married and wanted to come home for her wedding I was tasked with finding the perfect venue. She requested a rustic setting for a small intimate family gathering to share in the beginning of a new phase of her life. She specifically requested for a “barn” wedding. After searching and exploring many barn venues I felt that The Barn in Young Harris would defiantly meet her expectations. She was sent pictures and given the website and was very excited about the location. She wanted a December wedding and set her wedding date as 12-21-2019. Her wedding day met all her expectations except for one small detail….she wanted it to snow! The Barn was perfect for the “family” wedding! Since the wedding was in late December we were confined to hold everything inside; the ceremony and reception. The inside is so spacious that even with 75 family members in attendance we were never crowded. The Barn was so easy to decorate and Melanie and her husband went the extra mile to accommodate our needs and wishes. They were awesome to work with. I highly recommend The Barn in Young Harris, Georgia if you are looking for a venue with a spectacular view (even in the dead of winter) easy to work with owners and that rustic but perfect barn setting.

    The PERFECT North Ga mountain venue!

    I can’t begin to give the Barn at Young Harris or Mrs. Melanie the praise they deserve! We spent a whole day going around looking at wedding venues all over GA, but I knew as soon as we visited the Barn and met Mrs. Melanie that The Barn at Young Harris was the PERFECT venue for our special day! Mrs. Melanie truly goes above and beyond for her brides, from being super responsive to the millions of questions I had, accommodating a date change amidst a pandemic, providing numerous decorations to use for free, having cabins on the property to rent for your bridal party, and being the sweetest soul throughout the whole process. I can’t recommend this venue enough! It has breathtaking views and was everything I wanted and more. Thank you so much for everything Mrs. Melanie!

    Beautiful venue with fantastic owners!

    My grandson got married here 11/7/20. The views were stunning, the accommodations were wonderful. Melanie and Wendell went above and beyond in helping us make this wedding perfect. They have a caring and friendly spirit. Our entire family is very grateful we found this venue.

    The Barn at Young Harris

    This venue is outstanding! The pictures on her website dont even to begin to do it justice! The 360 degree mountain view is truly astounding! My Fiance started breaking into tears as we drove onto the property! We knew it was our venue, and where we wanted to be married!!

    Best venue ever

    I am so happy to recommend this venue to anyone wanting a mountain wedding! I looked several venues in North Georgia, but the views from the Barn at Young Harris beat everything else. Melanie (owner) was very helpful answering any questions we had throughout the planning process. We had a very elegant wedding with very formal table settings and an upscale cocktail hour and buffet with carving station. The barn was the perfect venue to host an elegant mountain wedding. I am so in love with how our wedding went and know we had the most perfect venue! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    A great venue in a beautiful mountain valley!

    Our son got married at The Barn at Young Harris this October. The setting in the valley with the mountains surrounding the venue is breathtaking. There could not be a more beautiful wedding venue. The owners, Melanie and Wendell, are fantastic -- very responsive and flexible. The Barn and Pavilion were perfect to accommodate 160 wedding guests and it was great using the same venue for the rehearsal dinner. The bride and bridesmaids rented the adorable 3 bedroom on-site cottage and it was perfect for getting ready for the wedding. My husband and I rented the other cottage and it was a life-saver as we used it to prepare the flowers for the wedding and prepare for the rehearsal dinner.

    The Perfect Venue!

    This venue was everything my husband and I could have ever wanted and more! Our wedding day was beyond perfect! The views are breath taking, the barn is beautiful, and it is just so perfect for so many different types of wedding themes. We had a boho themed wedding, and everything just flowed and was so beautiful! Melanie and her husband are so delightful to work with! They are so accommodating, they keep in great contact with you, and they are so sweet and caring! I am so thankful for their help in making our special day so perfect!

    One of the best parts of my reception!!

    If there is anyone that is considering a rustic reception (or any event), in the North Georgia Mountains, with a great view that doubles as an amazing picture backdrop, then please do not think twice about checking out/booking this amazing venue! My husband and I were looking for a wedding reception venue that would comfortably allow for about 200 guest and this place was more than enough! Melanie (the owner) was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process, from our first visit to the day after the party! Melanie was professional and she made it super easy for us to contact her, and responded to our question loaded emails in a reasonable and timely manner, which made it so much easier for us to plan. Choosing The Barn for our wedding reception was definitely one of the best choices we made to make our wedding day even more memorable!

    Breathtaking mountain venue

    This venue was BEAUTIFUL! It was the first place that I stumbled upon online when I searched "mountain weddings" and it was the only place I wanted to get married. We got married in November and the leaves on the mountains were truly breathtaking. The venue has everything you could possibly need, with both an outdoor space, covered outdoor space, indoor space, and additional rooms like a bridal suite and kitchen. The owners were exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our big day. They set out the amount of tables and chairs we would need, had a room filled with decor / signs / etc that we could use, and made sure all the small details - like cutting the grass! - were accounted for. I'm extremely thankful that I found this beautiful place and I recommend it to ANYONE, but ESPECIALLY those who prioritize the mountains, an outdoor/indoor wedding, a dance floor, and rustic vibes. You won't regret booking at this wonderful pace!

    Incredible view for an affordable price!

    We were so lucky that WeddingWire recommended The Barn at Young Harris as a venue, based on my other search results. It's a relatively new venue, but a wonderful location, with an absolutely gorgeous view! The best thing is that it's such an incredible venue at an affordable price! Melanie was very sweet, and always helpful. We were able to bring in our own decorations, and make my wedding exactly as I wanted. We couldn't imagine having our special day anywhere else!

    the barn at young harris was perfect!

    I had my wedding here in September & I absolutely loved it. The owners were so easy to work with, even with a massive storm coming through. They went over and beyond to make sure our wedding day was everything we had dreamed. Melanie and her husband both put in so much work to help out our families and vendors to get everything set. Melanie was quick to answer all of my questions and gave input that really helped me to make decorating decisions. She also gave a good amount of vendor recommendations in the area that we were able to use. The venue is stunning, rain or shine. The cabin on sight is adorable too! My bridesmaids got to stay there & loved it!

    We booked The Barn At Young Harris almost a year ahead and it was sure worth the wait! Our event last weekend was the most wonderful day I could have hoped for. Throughout the previous year Melonie and Wendell were so gracious and responsive to our many questions! The venue setting is breathtakingly stunning and the facilities were picture perfect for my daughter’s wedding. It is obvious that the owners have and continue to invest their hearts and souls into this one of a kind venue. So if you are considering, book it now! Many, many thanks to The Barn at Young Harris for an unforgettable event!

    We were so lucky to find the Barn at Young Harris for our wedding! It's the perfect hidden gem in the beautiful North Georgia mountains. The owners, Melanie and Wendell, are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! They have put so much time, effort, and love into their property, and it shows. The package we were able to get for our budget was amazing, and it gave us plenty of time to prep the barn for the wedding and clean everything up once it was done. I can't imagine how much stress we saved ourselves by choosing this venue! It had everything we needed right in one place, so we were able to host everything from the rehearsal dinner through the reception in one location, which was a lifesaver. This venue made our wedding day just perfect, and we couldn't have imagined a better spot to begin our lives together.

    Melanie was absolutely amazing! She made the whole wedding experience for me a positive one. She went above and beyond in every aspect of my planning process and was always kind, and always texted me back immediately! She genuinely cares about people, and the experience they have there. I would definitely recommend having your wedding here! The barn, pavilion, and property are kept up so nicely, they have worked so hard to make their venue a fairytale to their guests! The views were amazing and there is a back up option for if it rains! ( which it did on my wedding day ) we decorated the pavilion beautifully and had our reception in the barn! Overall we had no negative experience working with them and we highly recommend them to the next couple looking for their place to start their happily ever after! ????????
