When we started looking a year ago for a venue for my son's wedding in 2023 (this year), we chose this venue because it was small, charming and very affordable- it was under a different name and ownership. In March of this year (2023) it was sold, and purchased by Southern Grace Event Center. Our wedding was not going to be until June and honestly I had no idea what to expect- from renovations to change in ownership. Let me say, on June 3rd, we could not have asked for a more beautiful setting for a wedding! The venue was BREATHTAKING. The changes and upgrades included an open chapel with beautiful architectural design, new bride and groom suites, a completely renovated indoor reception hall with exposed beams on the ceiling, new chandeliers and floor to ceiling stone fireplace, a covered patio w a fireplace and a passthrough window from the bar (we used this as a cigar bar patio) as well as stunning gardens that included a waterfall, blooming roses and hydrangeas. IT WAS AMAZING! And, the new owner John was a joy to work with--so delightful and accommodating. He honored everything in our original contract and more. It was such a lovely experience and an unforgettable, gorgeous wedding.

As the mother of the bride--and having hosted three weddings for our three daughters--I can honestly say this was the best experience we've had. From the very beginning, Kim made us feel so welcome and was always kind, responsive, and helpful with any questions we had. Ashley was absolutely outstanding--she handled all the booking details seamlessly, provided excellent vendor recommendations, and made sure every piece came together perfectly. As the wedding approached, Kadie from Invited Events stepped in to coordinate seating, planning, and execution, and she ensured the entire day went off flawlessly. The caterer, Yahoolah Creek, was amazing. The food was delicious, and we received so many compliments from our guests--it truly stood out. Every detail of the event was so thoughtfully planned, from the getaway car to the late-night snacks, the photo booth, and the beautiful fireworks send-off. What meant the most to me was how easy they made everything. All I had to do was show up and enjoy this special day with my daughter and our family. It was stress-free, seamless, and absolutely magical. I love this venue and cannot recommend it enough. Planning a wedding here truly can be a wonderful experience.

The views and setting is amazing. However, everything else is simply subpar…read more I attended a wedding at this venue and pulling in I was impressed with the natural beauty. Pulling in I saw a "check-in" area, but no one manning the station. I walked into the building and found a friendly woman who found someone to lead me to my villa. As we drove up to the building, again, it was attractive. My first inclination of things descending towards a negative experience was that there were no keys, we simply left the doors unlocked. I understand that it was isolated and all, but we had some expensive things that we were expected to leave to the wanderings of any person with less than honorable intentions. Another issue was that the villa was cold, like in the sixties cold and the thermostats were locked (I guess they did not trust their guests to set a proper temperature). The biggest issue that they simply would not correct, even after four separate complaints, was that there was a wasp nest directly outside of our door. Literally a foot from the front door. The wasps were swarming us as we tried to enter. Finally, after the fourth attempt to get this resolved, a man told me that we were in nature and this was part of nature. They claimed they sprayed it, but these wasps were perfectly fine to continue their harrassment of us. Fortunately, no one was stung. As for other things, my son's bathroom was missing a light cover for the ceiling light in his bathroom (I am sure a code violation) and the wall was cracked. There was a nice veranda, but when I placed my hand on the wood, it was rotted and crumbled under my hand. What if I learned against it? Well, fortunately, I didn't or I might have fallen down a considerable distance. The walking railings throughout the property had been pulled up by age. All they would need would be to be tightened down, but, again, they were left in neglect. Now for the wedding service. The church on property is beautiful. The minister my cousin flew in was wonderful, but the organist that the venue provided was not well versed on the organ. She literally butchered the wedding march. My son, who is a music teacher, and I discussed it and she played the song at the proficiency of perhaps an eight month student. I will say that she played better with the band at the cocktail hour, but my son even wondered if she was the only keyboardist in Clayton, Georgia. She did sing a lot better and did a decent job handling the pop standards with her singing, but her keyboard prowess definitely needed work. The wedding reception started off with the D.J.'s playing the wrong song for the couple's first dance. The food at the reception was simply awful. It was served buffer style. The tenderloin was nervy and tough, the shrimp and grits were more grits with a minuscule amount of shrimp chopped in (the shrimp is supposed to be placed over the grits), the chicken and waffles were below a standard I would hold for frozen TV dinners. The ranch dressing that was with the salad bar was pretty good. My niece also seen a big on the floor (I guess more of that nature thing). Again, the place is beautiful, but it is the lack of attention and concern for the guests that made me give it one star. Honestly, if I could give it minus stars, I would, it was that bad.

Visited here recently for my niece's birthday, and it was quite an adventure to say the least! Took…read moreus about an hour and half from the Cumming area to get there. We bought tickets online and they had our name and feed purchases ready when we pulled up. Greeter gave us our buckets and explained the rules. We were probably one of the first cars through, so the animals were sort of hanging out far from the road. First animal we see is an emu in the distance on my niece's side. We are so focused on looking at that one and trying to get her excited, that I didn't even notice one had sneaked up on my side of the car and literally stuck his head in the window and grabbed feed from the bucket on my lap which startled me a bit which then proceeded to startle my niece...and that essentially set the tone for the rest of our time there. Next we came to the zebras. We were warned that they were a little pushy and had teeth like donkeys. You're taught to hold the bucket outside the car, but they pushed themselves inside the window (on my niece's side of course) and kept trying to grab the bucket, which just ended up dumping half of it into the car. We also saw some quiet, polite deer in the woods as well as some antelope in the distance. Next, we saw some llamas (or maybe alpacas). They too are a little pushy, but not as bad as the zebras. I think one even stopped at my window and smiled to pose for me to take his picture before he helped himself to another half a bucket of feed. Then we get to the camel. All prior animals were able to literally get in our car. The camel is inside a pen thankfully....He comes to the edge of his fence and we pulled close enough to where I could hold the bucket out my niece's side. He immediately grabbed the bucket from my hand, held it over his head to eat it, then dropped the bucket on the ground. I'm thinking I have to get the bucket back because I don't want to get in trouble. Problem #1 is, the first rule is to stay in your car at all times. Problem #2, some of the emus have now followed us and are quickly approaching from the rear. I climb into the front passenger seat, open the door, grab the bucket and quickly get back into the car. Meanwhile, the camel has moved on. He got what he wanted and had lost interest, figuring he would just wait on the next unsuspecting victim in the next car. We pass some water buffalo and the longhorns and a couple of highland cows. An ostrich quickly runs up the road in front of us so we can't get away. He helps himself and seemed a little more polite and pretty than the emus, so I let him snack. Eventually, we found the parking area and petting zoo. Mind you, there are signs telling you not to pet them or feed from your hand...but still call it a "petting zoo." Fed the goats and a huge pig. Made our way to the giraffes and someone shared some lettuce with my niece so she could feed them. She didn't love it, but didn't freak as much. Then we go to the aviary. We had bought three sticks with sticky seed on it, all of which I was carrying when we entered. I think we walked into a Hitchcock movie.... Parakeets swarm us the second we enter. Land on the sticks, our arms and my niece's head. That went over well.... Tried to direct her attention to the pretty birds and bright colors. Figured we should just exit quickly so we did. Went to gift shop where she bought a stuffed highland cow and all was well again!
