I do not believe I can say enough good things about this excellent venue and manager. I want to start off by saying that Macy is the absolute best! She was so easy to work with. She was very pleasant, accommodating and did as much as she could to make our day special. If you want to work with someone who is responsible, professional and frictionless, this is who you need to contact. All our vendors loved working with her and the feedback was that she was well-organized and professional.
The venue is very well kept and gorgeous. Our guests took so many pictures of themselves around the premises because the vineyard is honestly very beautiful. It gives a romantic feel with a gorgeous mountainous landscape. When you look back at your wedding photos, you will understand.
The venue was large enough for us to accommodate a band, Dj , our guests and various other vendors. We are absolutely truly grateful to have had our wedding at CeNita Vineyards. My spouse and I and quite a few of our guests plan on returning for future visits. I highly recommend this venue.
I am so happy we booked with Macy and CeNita! Macy was so sweet and very responsive to questions. She took a genuine interest in me and my now-husband’s story. The venue was also so picturesque and elegant; we received tons of compliments on it from the guests! Additionally, it was fun for us to stay onsite in the couple’s cabin afterward. CeNita is such a great find in the north GA mountains!
My husband and I got married at CeNita Vineyards in November of 2024! We had the best experience with our venue! Macy, the venue manager, was so helpful right from the start. She was easy to reach and answered all of our questions, even off the clock. She had vendor recommendations, as well as other types of recommendations as needed, which was so helpful. CeNita is a wonderful place to have a wedding any time of year, but especially in the Fall. The venue has a BEAUTIFUL few of the mountains in the background at the outdoor ceremony site!! It also has a large indoor space to have your reception. Our friends and family had nothing but great things to say about their experience at our wedding! If you are looking in the north Georgia area, you should check out CeNita Vineyards, you won't regret it! We plan to go back to the winery around our anniversary this year because we love it so much!

Vanessa,
Thank you for this sweet review! We loved celebrating with you and Michael and thank you for giving us the opportunity! Cheers to your forever!
Warm regards,
Macy
Any questions?
I toured many different vineyards in the North Ga area and there were 3 reasons I chose CeNita-
1. the venue is absolutely STUNNING. I mean pictures truly don't do the panorama views justice. Yonah Mountain as the background of the altar with beautifully maintained vineyards to the left, along with a beautiful big white open barn. I had pretty much decided as soon as I pulled up.
2. Macy was so transparent from the beginning and stated that she knows how expensive weddings can be and she would never try to nickel and dime us (the way I saw many other venues do in the price breakdown). She was a super quick communicator and answered my ~many~ questions with so much patience.
3. CeNita allows flexibility to use your own vendors and your own wine to truly make your wedding uniquely yours (while also providing a super helpful vendor list to make the process easier).
I can't recommend this venue enough!

Katie,
Thank you so much for allowing us to celebrate with you and JD! What a gorgeous wedding and a beautiful couple! Wishing you both forever happiness!
My husband and I got married on October 14,2023. It was a dream, the day was perfect! Macy made the planning process simple and answered any and all of my questions. The venue is so cozy and easy to navigate. 10/10 highly recommend!

Thank you for the kind review! Loved working with you and Shane! Thank you for choosing to celebrate at CeNita!
Warm regards,

Macy was wonderful every step of the way! We could always trust her to give us her honest opinion when we needed help with other vendors or the set up of the venue.
The venue its self was so perfect for our big day! From the bridal suite to the parking. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place to say “I do!”

Thank you, Emily! We loved celebrating with you and Chris! Cheers to your forever together!

CeNita Venue was an absolute dream for our wedding day. Macy, the venue coordinator, was such a joy to work with. I booked this venue almost two years in advance and Macy answered every single question I had leading up to the day. She was more than helpful, without her our wedding wouldn’t have been such a success. The views at the venue are unmatched. Every person who attended said the place was an absolute gem. Not only is CeNita one of our favorite vineyards to visit, it is the prettiest place in Georgia to have a wedding. Thank you Macy for everything you did for us. I wish I could give you and CeNita 10 stars!!

Melissa,
Thank you so much for the kind words. You and Kace were wonderful to work with and we appreciate you choosing CeNita! Cheers to you two!
Warm regards,
Macy
Cenita Venue is the perfect wedding venue and I could not have been happier with how my wedding day turned out! We toured several venues around North Georgia, but knew as we soon as we saw Cenita that it was the place for us. We absolutely loved the versatility this venue provided for us for pictures on our wedding day with beautiful fields, stunning vineyards, and the drop dead gorgeous view of Yonah Mountain. The venue manager Macy is a pleasure to work with and is there to ensure you get everything you want for your wedding day. Book this venue, you won't regret it!!
Truly one of the most gorgeous venues in Northern Georgia! You cannot beat the price and quality and professionalism ANYWHERE. This is the ONLY venue we found that had ZERO hidden fees, and they very much were a "Your wedding, your way" business which my wife and I appreciated so much as we were on a tight budget. Macy is phenomenal, I cannot say I have ever worked with anyone as responsive and responsible as she when it came to our day. BOOK HERE NOW.
I was so happy we selected Cenita to get married! It was so beautiful! My husband and I wanted a mountain view and Yonah Mountain made a perfect backdrop. As soon as we visited Cenita we knew it was the one for us! Macy was great to work with and everything went perfectly. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an excellent venue.
Cenita was the PERFECT place to have our wedding ceremony and reception. The backdrop of your ceremony is the beautiful Yonah Mountain and the reception area is just steps away. Macy is the BEST and is so easy to work with. She made everything feel seamless and truly wanted to make the day look and feel how we wanted it to be and she did just that! They even have a large cabin onsite for rent, which was perfect for our bridal party to stay in, and a cute little honeymoon cabin for us to stay in onsite the night of our wedding! I couldn’t recommend Cenita more!
CeNita was the most perfect place that my husband and I could have had our wedding! It was so peaceful, spacious, and accomodating for all of our guests. Macy and her crew did an amazing job, and I highly recommend her mother, Eilene, for coordinating and planning! Everything was absolutely perfect and I couldn't have had a better celebration.
CeNita is such a hidden gem in the mountains of North Georgia, and I could not have asked for a better venue to get married at!! First, the scenery is gorgeous! The grounds are well maintained and beautiful with the vineyards rolling through the hills as Yonah Mountain towers in the backdrop. We got married in hte spring, and the natural flowers were such a nice touch. Next, I love the reception space. The barn is rustic with the ability to transform into whatever your vision or dream is. I love that I was able to bring in whatever vendors I wanted to create the style I was seeking. Macy does have some decor which was helpful, but I liked being able to bring in whatever I wanted (definitely a great DIY venue). There is SO much space inside the barn and outside in the grass with the cafe lights creating a lovely ambiance for a night full of dancing. I liked how my guests could be tearing up the dancefloor, chatting outside by the firepit, taking pictures by the vineyards, and watching the kids run around the grass. I also loved the deck up in the bridal space. I remember going up there before my sendoff and seeing all my guests lined up waiting; it was so special to see. My bridesmaids loved getting ready up in that space too. I do wish there was a space for the men to get ready- few venues seem to have that haha! Additionally, I loved working with Macy! She is incredibly organized and knowledgeable when it comes to wedding planning. She is flexible in helping your wedding dreams come true (including allowing me to have a helicopter land as a surprise sendoff)! She gave us a very detailed tour and provided ample information throughout the entire process. She was very professional and kind. From start to finish, I loved planning my dream wedding and working with Macy & CeNita. This venue is a picturesque dream. My husband and I plan to return to CeNita Vineyards for our anniversary next month! Thank you, Macy, and CeNita team for helping us create the wedding we dreamed of!
Macy and the Venue at Cenita Vineyards made my wedding day so special, I could not have asked for a more perfect venue!! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and completely accommodating to anything you want to do for your wedding day. The ceremony mountain backdrop, the vineyards and the freestanding reception hall are breathtaking!
Macy was so easy to work with and answered all my questions, she made the planning process so much easier! She will help you with everything you need including a list of local vendors in the area. She is amazing! On the day of the wedding the guests can enjoy the tasting room which is next door while waiting for the ceremony to start. There is even an adorable cabin next door your family can rent to make decorating easier and an idyllic honeymoon suite for the bride and groom the night of the ceremony!
If you are looking for an outdoor/vineyard/mountain venue I can't recommend Cenita enough!!
We loved working with Macy & the CeNita Venue team!! We fell in love with the stunning views, and what made us the most grateful was the stellar team! Macy Barrett was an incredible resource as we planned our November '21 wedding. She recommended a great coordinator & officiant, helped us navigate the logistics of our event, and ensured we had a fantastic time! CeNita allowed us to bring in outside catering, vendors, and our own wine & beer -- this was a game-changer for our planning & budget. We also planned our wedding from across the country and Macy helped throughout the entire process, even with our three-hour time difference. We actually booked CeNita without visiting since Covid restrictions kept us from traveling. Not a problem for Macy -- she went through a virtual tour of the ENTIRE space. She also went above and beyond to meet with our local family as we started planning, seriously so thankful! The space itself is open & inviting, the vineyards are gorgeous at any time (especially sunset), and perfect for the flow of a wedding. I highly recommend reaching out to the CeNita Venue if you're looking to get married in the North Georgia area! Don't miss out on these views :)
Thank you so much, Macy & team, for hosting & crafting such a wonderful day!

Hillary,
Thank you so much for the kind words. We absolutely loved celebrating with you and Davis! It was such a beautiful wedding for such a sweet couple!
Warm regards,
Macy
As father of the bride, glad I spent the money on this perfect setting for my outdoors girl. Backdrop of Yonah Mt, overlook of the vineyard and capped off with a spectacular sunset. Amenities were fantastic with changing rooms for the bridal party, ample parking, access for the food truck, handicapped access and everything setup ready for us to just enjoy the day. Despite being a November wedding the space heaters and thick plastic see-through curtains made for a cosy night of toasting and dancing. Owner Macy and her husband were great hosts. They stopped by and were very keen and eager to hear any and all feedback. I hope you will consider Cenita for your once-in-a-lifetime venue.
Response from the Vendor on 12/06/2021
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with us! Thank you for your kind words and positive review. We are excited to see you and your family again in the future!
Having our wedding at Cenita was like a fairytale dream come true! The view is breathtaking!!! We got married right in front of beautiful Yonah
mountain surrounded by amazing vineyards... The venue includes your choice of ceremony arch and your tables and chairs which they set up for you - all you have to do is bring in your own decorations and vendors of your choice. The venue doesn't have a ton of rules/restrictions like some venues do. The bridal suite for the girls to get ready in is perfect, they truly thought of everything! The ceremony and reception area are both outdoors in open air which made me feel a lot safer hosting an event during a pandemic. The Venue manager, Macy made the whole entire process so easy! She is very friendly, professional, responsive, and accommodating! The venue also has a large Airbnb house right on the property that we rented the night before and the night of which was super convenient to have.., there is also a small “honeymoon” cabin you can rent. Cenita was the perfect place to get married and we have absolutely no regrets!

The Venue at CeNita's was the perfect place for a wedding!! The backdrop with Yonah mountain was picture perfect! Macy was wonderful to work with, always answering our questions promptly. We looked at a lot of venues and felt this one was the most picturesque and provided the most value for the money. We give it our highest recommendations and are so glad we chose it for the wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 12/06/2021
Thank you for your kind words! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your wedding at CeNita Vineyards! We look forward to seeing you and your friends at our winery in the future!
The Venue at CeNita was the perfect place for us to get married. The mountain view behind the stage is stunning to say the least. Not only does CeNita have both a fully outdoor area and a covered area (great in case it rains or is really hot), but it also has a room for groomsmen to get ready, a bridal suite, restrooms, and a catering kitchen. There is also a parking spot to avoid the steps if needed for wheelchair accesibility, etc. Macy, the venue manager, was great to work with. She was available to promptly answer our many questions throughout the process. CeNita has tables and chairs to use for free, along with many other decorations. They also have tablecloths available to rent. The time period you are able to use the space for is quite generous. For these reasons, CeNita is one of the best values I have seen out there for a wedding venue. Friends and family commented on how beautiful the venue was. I'm so glad that we got married here, and we will treasure these memories forever!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for the review. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with us! We look forward to hosting you and your family with us at the winery in the future!
We booked CeNita for our 5/8/21 and could not have picked a better venue!! Macy, thank you again and again SO much for providing the setup and backdrop to the most perfect and beautiful wedding venue of our dreams!! Macy has always been so clear and quick to respond to every email/question I had(and I had very many), and I truly believe it was by fate that our wedding was set at CeNita. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of our venue, and we also stayed at the airBnB on site of the venue(previously inhabited by the owners of CeNita Venue and Winery and recently available for booking) and we must say that if you are planning to have your wedding at CeNita, you must consider also booking the airBnB because it makes the entire experience that much more lovely and convenient!!! The tasting room is next door so you can enjoy some delicious wine while you are there! We are just so incredibly impressed and grateful to the staff at CeNita, they deserve a million stars and more!!!

The Venue at CeNita Vineyards could not have been a MORE PERFECT venue for our big day!! The venue had everything we were looking for + more. Stunning ceremony view, beautiful covered outdoor reception space, and a ROCKSTAR team. From the time we booked the venue up until our wedding day we were in contact with 3 different people (they were undergoing a management shift) EACH person we were in contact with was accommodating, professional, and ON TOP OF IT! We didn't tour a single venue that compared to CeNita + the value they offered for the $$. So grateful to the team at CeNita for making our day PERFECT. 11/10 would recommend!!

Hands down the most BEAUTIFUL and EASY to work with venue. The views of Yonah Mountain as your backdrop for the ceremony to the beautiful covered reception area situated among the GA mountains and vineyard are absolutely gorgeous! Working with Donna and her team was so easy, they provided a list of recommended vendors to make searching for your caterer, DJ etc easier. The bridal suite is spacious and beautiful for getting ready. The venue also offers to rent linens for the tables, they have cafe lights that string over the lawn for cocktail hour, and provide other decor items like lanterns, wine barrels, and easels for decorating your space! I am so happy we chose Cenita for our wedding day and I would 100% recommend to any future Bride & Groom!
When my then (VERY new) boyfriend and I first visited CeNita Vineyards, I joked with him that it would be the perfect place to get married. When we got engaged, it was an easy decision to choose The Venue at CeNita as our venue. The backdrop to the alter is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen – mountains overlooking a vineyard. It’s a picturesque place to proclaim your love to the world (plus, the venue offers three different options – an arch, cross, or pillars – though you are certainly welcome to make the space your own). This is one of the few venues I found that allows you to bring your own beer and wine and choose your own vendors. As a detail-oriented bride who likes having control, this was crucial to my planning process. Donna was incredibly responsive and helpful. She was a breeze to work with and takes great pride in both her venue and the brides she gets to work with. It began to rain as soon as our outdoor ceremony ended, and I couldn’t have been more thankful for such perfect timing. Even in the rain, the venue was stunning. I’ve received numerous comments from guests that they could have sat there all night, taking in the beauty of the place. The Venue at CeNita Vineyards was the perfect place for our glitzy vineyard wedding. I am so pleased with our decision to include them on our special day. For brides considering a summer wedding, don’t be afraid of the heat! The venue has HUGE fans in the ceiling rafters that keep the area cool.
The Venue at Cenita Vineyards is one of the most beautiful places in North Georgia. It has an immaculate view of the Yonah Mountain that is breathtakingly beautiful. If you have the opportunity, choose this location for any of your events. And if you just want a beautiful place to drink wine stop by their tasting room and have some of their delicious wine.

From the moment we first visited Cenita we knew this was the place for our daughter's wedding. The view of Yonah Mountain the options to customize your wedding in terms of food, decor etc gave us just the wedding day that worked for us. Donna was wonderful with all her recommendations for vendors and it a could not have been more perfect. We were able to enjoy rehearsing, the rehearsal dinner, getting ready in the bridal room upstairs and all the while enjoying the views that just make the venue. We knew we had options in case of rain. We can't wait to see the professional photos as everything was just perfect. I would do what we did look no further this venue is awesome in every respect!

Thank you Victoria! It was such a beautiful and fun wedding! Donna and I enjoyed playing a part in the planning of this beautiful occasion. Looking forward to sharing wine at the tasting room on your next trip up to our area! Cheers! Eilene
Wow! Where to begin...Absolutely Gorgeous! The Venue at CeNita exceeded our expectations from the ceremony view of Yonah Mountain, reception area, kitchen, bridal suite to the staff! It was amazing to work with Donna as we invited her to the wedding because she felt like family! The staff executed every detail flawlessly and ON TIME!! The Venue offered tablecloths, audio equipment, easels/chalkboard and fireplace candles/lanterns to a choice of hanging lights and welcome desk. The entire venue is so gorgeous that you hardly need any decorations!! Truly an unforgettable experience!! Donna, thank you so much for a perfect day! You and your family offer a perfect facility to get married!

We recently had our wedding at CeNita Vineyards and it was everything a fairy tale wedding should be! I cannot say enough good things about the Venue at CeNita Vineyards and the owner, Donna! The views of Mount Yonah and the Vineyards are breathtaking. The venue itself is beautiful and did not require a lot of decorating. It had a large kitchen area for the caterer to use and bathrooms for both men and women. It also had an awesome room with makeup/hair stations with lights for the bridesmaids to get ready in, complete with a balcony. There was a room for the groom & his groomsmen to get ready in, as well. Donna was amazing to work with. She was very patient, kind, and encouraging. She worked with us to make sure our day was perfect. She always responded to our questions quickly and had great recommendations when we needed advice. We could not have asked for a better experience for our special day!

I can’t saw enough good things about Donna and The Venue at CeNita. She was so easy to work with from the beginning and also available if we had a question or concern. The venue is absolutely beautiful and my daughter’s wedding was everything she imagined and dreamed of. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a wedding / reception venue at one location. The views are breathtaking!!!

Jennifer, It was a gorgeous wedding; I'm so happy Courtney's dream wedding happened outside after all! Thank you for recommending us to others who may be considering hosting their wedding at The Venue at Cenita.
Donna
We had our wedding at The Venue at CeNita Vineyards on June 1st, 2019. The venue was perfect for the relaxing, outdoor feel we were going for. The scenery is so beautiful that we hardly had to decorate to accomplish the look we desired. Donna, the owner, was great to work with and helped our day run perfectly! She was always easy to reach and available to quickly answer any questions we had. She also provided a list of local lodging/hotel options and area vendors who had worked at the venue previously, which was a great resource for us! I would highly recommend anyone looking to have a gorgeous, North GA wedding to plan their day here!

My name is Ashley Witter (Smith). I got married on October 14th 2018. The Venue at CeNita was like a fairytale. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue. My husband and I love the mountains and it is the perfect venue if you love the outdoors. The staff is friendly and just made our experience absolutely perfect! I will visit often and remember that day! Thank you Donna for allowing me the opportunity to be married in this magical place.
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2018
Hi Ashley, Thank you so much for taking time to review our venue. We love being a part of such happy, beautiful, loving events as your! It was a lovely ceremony and you guys were a pleasure to work with. Best wishes!
Donna
The Venue at CeNita was absolutely perfect. I honestly could not have asked for a more perfect place to say I Do. Donna was so kind and very easy to work with, especially with us not living in Georgia. The views were breathtaking and I can't wait to get all of our pictures back! Not only was the ceremony beautiful, but the reception area was perfect as well. I also really loved the spacious bridal suite for me and all my bridesmaids to get ready. I would recommend this venue to anyone! I just wish I could do it all over again because it goes so fast! I honestly can't say enough good things about this place or the people.
Most beautiful venue ever! Donna was amazing and made the whole process so easy. She provided us with a list of amazing vendors she had worked with along with travel information for our guests. She was quick to respond and answer any questions or concerns we had. We plan to go back and visit Cenita often. The views are breathtaking!
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2018
Wow! Thank you for the awesome review! We try really hard to help make your wedding day go as smoothly and beautiful as possible! Yours was no exception! Lovely!
The Venue at Cenita was the perfect place for our wedding. Donna, the owner, is fantastic to work with. She was professional, easy to communicate with, and offers a tremendous amount of guidance throughout the whole wedding planning process. We found her list of trusted vendors very helpful! We loved that the venue itself is so gorgeous that you don't need to invest in a ton of decorations. Donna and her team take care of setting up and tearing down all the chairs and tables and making sure the altar is exactly how you want it. She also has a supply room of decorations that she has collected that you are able to use and she will set up how you want them. This made our decorating process very easy! The bridal suite is very spacious and the perfect place for getting ready. This venue goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is exactly how you want it. I couldn't recommend this place enough. It was everything we wanted!

Courtney, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of celebrating your wedding at our venue! AND of course for the great review! It was a pleasure to help make your big day special!
The Venue at CeNita was absolutely amazing.
Ever since we drove up to first see the venue i fell in love.
Donna the owner is the BEST she felt like family at the end and was always so helpful during the whole wedding process.
The Venue is Stunning, from the Ga mountains to the lush greenery it was more perfect on the day then i could have imaged.
I am originally from Australia but have lived in Georgia for 7 years. I wanted a venue to show off Georgia in the spring and this Venue and atmosphere was just breathtaking, we had guests from all over the world attend and it was just magical.
It was the best day of my life and i still get goose bumps thinking about it.

We got married at The Venue at CeNita on May 19th, 2018. The venue is absolutely beautiful! We love the property along with the view of Yonah in the background. Donna is amazing and helped to make the whole planning process go smoothly. Go visit the venue and you will fall in love!
The Venue at CeNita was perfect for our wedding day! We couldn't have found a more beautiful place to get married. We were living in Illinois and Donna was so helpful to us with planning a wedding from so far away. We loved everything about the venue and everything Donna did to help us out with vendors and the day off setting up. We would recommend this place to anyone! You will not be disappointed in this venue and with Donna!
Beautiful venue! It was an absolute pleasure to work with Donna. She provided a vendor list to help find vendors in the area, very easy to work with. Our Wedding was perfect!
The perfect venue! Donna was so helpful with every little detail and it was super appreciated. She made sure the day went smooth and I did not have to worry about a thing the day of! Highly recommend this venue. You will not be disappointed.
This venue was a dream come true! It was the absolute perfect setting for our wedding. Our guests were blown away by the beautiful scenery. Donna was so easy and great to work with. I wouldn’t change a single thing!

Perfect!!!!! Everything went smoothly from the start to the finish. Donna was wonderful to work with! She was helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make our day amazing. We can't wait to get our pictures back and relive the day!

Donna
I had my wedding here in April 2017 and it exceeded my expectation. My day was completely perfect (despite rain almost the whole day) but Donna made everything so amazing and was such a delight to work with! If you have the chance to have your wedding here, don't hesitate! You will not regret it! The pictures are gorgeous and the atmosphere is so comfortable and worshipful for a Christ-centered ceremony. My husband and I couldn't have asked for anything better.
The Venue at CeNita was perfect for our wedding on September 3rd, 2017. The natural beauty from the mountains and vineyard make decorating so easy as very little extra is needed. The owner made the day of the wedding stress free as she already had the reception tables, altar, and chairs for the ceremony set up. She went out of her way to make the altar look the way I wanted and changed things for me at the last minute. She couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. The bridal suite is perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better place to have my wedding and would recommend it to anyone!

Jessica, Thank you for your kind words! We are truly blessed with such beautiful natural surroundings and with that, it's so easy to help make beautiful weddings, like yours, happen!
This venue is gorgeous!!!!! Donna is so easy to work with. She answered every question we had in a timely manner and the venue was set up exactly as we wanted prior to the wedding. You can't find a better venue! The views are worth every penny. All my guest enjoyed it as well and talked about the venue for days!
The Venue at CeNita was the most stunning location for a whimsical wedding. Between the mountainous and beautiful vineyard, it was absolutely gorgeous and made for some amazing pictures! I had so many people compliment the venue after the wedding! And Donna was so great and helpful! Very nice people and great to work with!
DREAM WEDDING VENUE! CeNita Vineyards is hands-down THE most amazing wedding venue in the North Georgia area. It offers the best of both worlds -- a romantic mountain vineyard wedding, with both quick and easy access to all the conveniences of metropolitan downtown Atlanta. The owner Donna is such a joy to work with. She is very friendly, flexible, communicative and will go the extra mile to make sure things are set up just the way you like. The open air barn is very spacious, with tall ceilings, and is well lit (unlike other pavilion style venues we looked at).The bridal sweet is soft and inviting and has all the accoutrements a wedding party could ask for. The stunning vistas, towering stone fireplace and glowing cafe lights add to the already dramatic and lovely ambiance of the venue. AND... you can't beat their prices! Seriously. If you're even considering getting married in the North Georgia mountains, you have to check the Venue at CeNita out! It is a must.
Enjoy the planning! It will be over before you know it. Cheers to the bride and groom to be!
We could not have asked for a better experience. Not only is Cenita gorgeous year round but the owners are incredibly kind and helpful. We fell in love with Cenita from the first visit. I was pretty set on an outside/barn wedding and the open style Cenita offers made the whole day cohesive and easy.
We were absolutely blown away by Cenita. Donna (one of the owners) was always accessible, kind, and knowledgeable. We never had an issue she couldn't work with. The cost of the venue is more affordable than surrounding barns/vineyards, they do allow alcohol with a bartender, and they handle set up and take down of chairs and tables. They do have several decorations, linens, and altar options. Donna was also helpful with making a floor plan to best utilize the inside space. She made herself available to us every step of the way. Donna really seals the deal with this venue. From pre-planning to day-of Cenita was incredible. We could not have hoped for a better wedding.
The Venue at CeNita is the dream venue. It is beautiful itself and is also surrounded by endless natural beauty! When you really take a look, it is evident that every single detail about this venue is cared for by the family that owns it. It is honestly perfect in every way! I was worried about the potential for bad weather, and their alternate plan was an excellent back-up to ease my mind! Donna is so personable and flexible, and from our first meeting, I knew it was going to be the perfect venue! I am so grateful for the memories that were made there.
It truly was love at first sight. CeNita was the first wedding venue my daughter visited and she didn't need to look any farther. It was everything she had hoped for and more! Beautiful views of the mountains and vineyards, wonderful indoor and outdoor options, just the perfect setting for the most special day. The bridal suite was amazing with so many unique and adorable touches. Donna was so sweet and easy to work with, taking a lot of stress out of the planning. She easily guided us through the layout and logistics of the setup, recommended vendors and had many accessories available for us to use. It was the most spectacular day. You can't miss with this venue!
I fell in love with CeNita as soon as I saw it. The views are incredible, the owner is fantastic, AND it didn't break the bank! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and Donna is so easy to work with. 5 stars doesn't do this place justice!
Amazing venue and amazing customer service. Working with Donna was comfortable and easy. When it looked like rain was looming, she worked with me to create a new plan for rain (that we didn't end up needing). The venue was built to be a venue, outlets in the right place, appropriate parking and restroom areas, beautiful brides room with enough space for me, my 4 bridesmaids, flower girl and ring bearer to be comfortable. It was everything imagined and I couldn't reccommend them more.
I would highly recommend CeNita! Donna was a pleasure to work with and everything turned out great! We had so many compliments from our guests! The vineyards were a perfect backdrop for pictures! I used vendors that Donna recommended and was not disappointed at all! Great time had by all!
Absolutely breathtaking! I had my wedding here one month ago and I am still getting compliments about how beautiful the venue was. One of our groomsmen had been in 7 weddings this year and he said this venue was by far his favorite!! I will without a doubt recommend this venue to anyone planning their future wedding! It was a dream!
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!!!! The venue is spectacular, and is family oriented from its origin. The whole place has that feeling. Donna is so very sweet and easy to work with. This place was amazing for the ceremony and reception, and the great guest compliments keep coming about the venue we chose! You can pick your own vendors, stock your own bar (beer and wine), and make the wedding exactly what you want and need.
PERFECT VENUE! I could go on for hours about how incredible this venue was for our wedding! My husband and I got married September 6, 2015 and it was the most magical day at Cenita. Their venue is built from the most beautiful story of family and love and they are great people. Donna is AMAZING! Not only will she do anything she can to accommodate you but she works with on everything and wants to make sure the day is special. It is very affordable and such a gorgeous place they really all you need to do is show up :) I looked at over 20 venues in the North Ga area and Cenita Vineyards was by far the best choice. They have plenty of chairs, tables, and linens so you don't need to worry about renting those off site. She also some decor and you are welcome to any of it which is great. They set up the floor plan ahead of time with you and when you come they have all of it set up so all you have to do is add your own personal touch. Donna is very flexible and works with you so much to make sure the day is great. My wedding day was perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better place to tie the knot!
The Venue at Cenita Vineyards was the venue of our dreams! The staff was so sweet and helpful! Yonah Mountain was the PERFECT backdrop for our pictures, and the vineyards are to die for! I would definitely recommend this venue!
CeNita is beyond incredible! My husband and I recently were married at this venue and absolutely loved it! The venue is STUNNING and Donna was wonderful to work with and made it very easy for us. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone. The barn was built specifically for weddings so it is very well thought out in both layout and amenities. The venue in itself is so beautifully set up that it did not take much work at all to decorate. The value you receive for the price is above and beyond. This venue is well worth booking for your special day!
This venue was truly perfect. We could not have picked a better place. The views are endless. There is mountains, vineyards and a gorgeous inside area for a reception. Its all breathtaking.
As if the views were not enough the staff is spectacular. Ms. Donna that runs things is beyond helpful and they ensure everything runs smoothly throughout the whole process and on the big day. You couldn't ask for better than CeNita.
We just got married at Cenita, and everything about this venue is incredible. The owner Donna is so incredible- she was always available, answering any questions I had- she was so sweet to me and my family. They really gave us the wedding we have always dreamed of plus way more. The grounds are so beautiful- so well kept, mount yonah and the vineyard make the most beautiful backdrop to your perfect day! And on top of that the reception space is stunning. You can't beat the price, they allow outside caterers, they work with you. Trust me brides- GET MARRIED HERE!
Just amazing. First of all, the venue is absolutely beautiful! Mountain views, vineyards, beautiful and unique pavilion and kept grounds. You really can't even catch the beauty by the pictures, it is just incredible. Our ceremony and reception were just perfect. Secondly, the owner/manager Donna is so helpful and awesome! She helped us with any way that she could and helped us plan out things we were unsure of. This venue has a family owned feel and you can feel the love that was put into building it. I can't rave enough about this awesome venue, if you're looking for a outdoor wedding with awesome mountain views.. Look no further!!
I would highly recommend CeNita Vineyards for your wedding. The Venue is absolutely gorgeous! To quote one of the wedding guest, "it is such a heavenly setup".
So much natural beauty with Yonah Mountain framed in as the backdrop for the wedding ceremony. The pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous! And Donna is absolutely a pleasure to work with. The wedding coordinator commented that this was the most pleasant venue that she has worked with and she has worked a lot of weddings! My daughter, the bride, was extremely happy with the outcome of her wedding at this venue.
We absolutely LOVED Cenita and Donna. The venue is exactly what you see on pinterest when you're planning your dream wedding. We knew we wanted our wedding to be in the mountains, and we just happened to stumble upon the Venue at Cenita. Donna went out of her way to show us around on a whim. She was there to help us anytime we needed guidance. She also recommended the wedding planner we ended up using, who was also a life saver! Our wedding ended up being ever more gorgeous, easy, and memorable than I imagined it would be. I highly recommend you using Cenita!
Words cannot express how much the venue made my wedding so SO special. Cenita Vineyards was not only affordable for my DIY wedding, but they were so helpful with anything I needed! As a bride doing her own wedding that was very important. Not to mention that this place in the summer is absolutely GORGEOUS! Our wedding pictures are beautiful and I get more compliments on the venue than anything else about my wedding.
Our wedding was back in August 2015, and we've moved a lot because of the military which is why it's taken me so long to write this review. Donna, the owner, and her family were such a big help before and on the day! My wedding was completely DIY. Donna suggested vendors for the food and bar service as well as some others, but she was completely okay with us using other vendors as well! The scenery and being able to do things on my own was what sold me on this place. I'm so glad I had my wedding here. On the day, we got about 12 hours on our time-slot to set up, decorate, get ready in the AMAZING bridal suite, have the ceremony, party the night away, and the clean up. It was the perfect amount of time for everything. Right before the ceremony it started to rain and they asked if I wanted the ceremony inside, of course I said yes because i didn't want to get rained on! Donna and her family started moving the seats inside my my guests and my now Husband insisted that they move them back because, guess what? It stopped raining. They did so graciously and the ceremony went off without a hitch! Everything was perfect! Cenita vineyards is so helpful and I cannot recommend them enough! Every single guest loved it there! Such a perfect place to have a DIY wedding or any wedding! So lovely. Thank you Cenita! We also loved (and use often) the wine glasses with our wedding date on them! It was such a lovely surprise! I was not expecting that. Thank you!
I got married at Cenita Vinyards on September 27th 2015. Beside the amazing price I can not describe how unbelievably perfect and magical this venue is. From the misty mountain view too the beautiful vineyard to the rustic barn it had everything and more in one place. All of my guest raved about the venue and how amazing it was. Donna and her staff are so wonderful and down to earth, her helpful calming presents was amazing leading up to the wedding and on the day of. I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have found and gotten married at Cenita Vinyards.
CeNita was the perfect setting for our wedding and we would not change a single thing about it! The owner, Donna, was absolutely wonderful. She was always easy to reach and super helpful, meeting with us several times and emailing back and forth. She made sure that she had a very clear picture of what we wanted our day to be like and she made that idea a reality. The day of the wedding it poured down rain all the way up until our ceremony time when the sky cleared. Donna never pressured us to make a decision and move to the rain plan. She knew our dream wedding was outside and she kept an eye on the radar all day and kept reassuring us that the sky was going to clear. The venue is breathtaking, it's clean, the bridal suite is any bride's dream. We can not think of a single negative thing to say about CeNita. We have recommended this venue to everyone we know and I know that our guests were very impressed. They couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the vineyard was.
I would not change a single thing about my recent wedding, especially the decision to book at CeNita Vineyards. The venue and view of Yonah Mountain are absolutely breathtaking. I had many wedding guest tell me that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. From the beginning to the day of the wedding, Donna was friendly and prompt to answer any question my husband and I had and called/emailed periodically just to check in and see if we needed anything. My wedding planning experience was stress free thanks to her and her lovely assistant, Adriane. Thanks CeNita for making my wedding everything I had dreamed of!
We couldn't have asked for anything better! This venue is simply beautiful! Every guest commented on how gorgeous it is from the mountain view behind the outdoor wedding platform to the stunning rock fireplace at the front of the covered pavillion! From the beginning, Mrs. Donna was VERY perfessional and VERY friendly. She was easy to get a hold of and answered every question we had within 24 hrs. It was very refreshing to be able to ask her questions and she was always there with 2 sometimes 3 options on how we could do things. She gave us a list of local vendors ranging from food to cabin rentals for our honeymoon! For me a HUGE perk was all the little things CeNita offers that are INCLUDED in the rental fee: seating for up to 200 guests (400 chairs total for reception and ceremony) roll down sides on the pavillion in case the night gets chilly, 4 wine barrels on casters so you can place them where ever, a beautiful grey roll top that can be used for things such as a sign in books or gifts, galvanized buckets, a large easle, a medium sized chalk board sign, a speaker system that also has audio for your officiant so EVERYONE at the wedding can hear you, and more. CeNita is worth every penny and if we had it to do all over again we would choose them every time! They truely helped make our day happen and we can't thank them enough!
Beautiful venue with an amazing view. Donna was so easy to work with and very nice.
I truly cannot say enough good things about this venue and the family that owns it! There was not a single thing I would change. The venue is beautiful-it was the first and ONLY place I looked because we fell in love with it immediately. Our guests ranted and raved about the setting. Donna, the owner, is an doll and such a wonderful person to work with. She is the kind of person who will do anything to make sure your day is perfect. I never had a single issue with the deposits, contract, etc. It was all spelled out and very reasonable. With all the stress of planning a wedding, I never had to worry about the venue. Thank you CeNita family for hosting the wedding of our dreams!
I first saw a picture of CeNita Vineyards months before I knew my fiancé was going to propose and knew that it was the place we would get married. The view of Mt. Yonah is gorgeous!! We met with Donna to see the venue and she told us their story and we fell in love with the vineyard. Donna is so sweet and friendly. She responds very quick to any questions and is accommodating. The venue is gorgeous by itself, we needed very little decorations. The venue is equipped with an ice maker and commercial dishwasher. All of our guests kept commenting on how gorgeous it was.
CeNita Vineyards made our wedding day special from the big event, down to the details. The venue is family owned and they went above and beyond to help us prepare and carry out the wedding. The family provided options and solutions to many questions that we hadn’t even considered. The venue, vineyards and surrounding panoramic mountain landscape photographed beautifully. The rock face of Yonah Mt. is framed by trees lining the background of the alter platform.The natural wooden finish of the exterior provided a perfect backdrop for our photobooth. The upstairs bridal suite is gorgeous and spacious with lots of mirrors and room for everyone to get ready. It has a balcony on one side and a window out to the lawn so the bride can view guests being seated for the ceremony. The open air reception area comfortably seated the 200 guests and was accented by a grand rock fire place that provided a focal point as well as heat on the October night. We thank CeNita Vineyards for beautiful hosting our wedding and highly recommend the venue for any event.
