This wedding venue is fabulous and the event coordinator, Levi Hansard, is phenomenal!! The facilities are lovely, enchanting and magical. The food is delicious and the staff professional, patient and kind!! I cannot find enough good things to ...
say except this place is a gem and I recommit highly!!

We booked this venue about a year before our wedding and Levi was very helpful and responsive to all my planning questions over the course of the year. I hired my own day-of coordinator but Levi was still there most of the day to make sure eve...
rything ran smoothly! We had also reserved the Mountain Laurel Inn for family and friends to stay for the weekend. The rooms are very spacious! Everyone said it was a beautiful venue, and I agree! I appreciate Levi and all the staff at Forrest Hills Resort for making our wedding day a dream come true!

Location: Forrest Hills is located in North Georgia, in the Chatthooche 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 a...
nd/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 to 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 was complicated organizing it with so many guests from different stages in our life, but everyone ended up where they need to be in the end. Food and Beverages: Our rehearsal dinner was on-site at Forrest Hills. Between that, our wedding reception, and the breakfasts each day, we didn’t have a single bad bite of food! Christy was amazing and covered anything we needed. We didn’t taste the food before the reception, but we were assured that you can’t go wrong with any food choice at Forrest Hills--and we completely agree based on our experience! They had our back every step of the way! Wedding coordination: We worked with Levi from the moment we inquired about the venue and he was amazing! We completely appreciated his style and choices, which let us stress less about the details. It was great to have everything on site. We were married at the Fox Hollow gazebo, which was gorgeous, and the Rose Garden reception room was exactly the vibe we were going for. Everything was on time and went off without a hitch! Levi helped with everything, from fluffing my train as I walked towards the aisle, helping my bridesmaid bustle my dress, and even serving food at the reception. We could not be happier with our choice of being married at Forrest Hills! All of our guests asked us how we found this place because it was so perfect for us and our guests!

The wedding coordinator was amazing at communication, the location was beautiful, the staff so kind and freindly. The only downside is that we could not access the reception venue earlier, as it is used for events on a daily basis. This is comp...
letely understandable but it lead to some stress not being able to trouble shoot technology etc. The internet is also quite spotty with it being a remote location, so playlists used for music should be downloaded or have a hot spot at hand to avoid any awkward silences.

Forrest Hills blew away our expectations as a venue. Everything was beautiful, the ceremony site, the reception area, and the rehearsal dinner area. The staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. They were there when we needed them, out of the w...
ay when we did not. The food was delicious as well! Their amazing fried chicken was a huge hit. The lodging accommodations were ideal for the large group of people we had. Getting around was easy, and we had ample space for all the activities we had planned for our guests. We opted for the carriage ride entrance, and it was amazing! The owner of Forrest Hills was one of the carriage drivers he did an excellent job. Levi,the wedding coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure that we were well taken care of the entire weekend. Reggie, the head chef, worked with us to ensure that a guest with a life threatening allergy would have options for the whole weekend, which we really appreciated. It was a wedding to remember, our deepest thanks to Forrest Hills resort, the Kraft family, Levi, Reggie, and the rest of their fantastic staff.

Perfect for wedding and reception and a place to stay all in the same location. Without having to drive! They set up and take down, provide tables and food. Cabins are being remodeled as they do need some updates but it’s definitely still worth...

I had my wedding there in the secret garden on November 3, 2019. The grounds are beautiful and the wedding was everything we imagined! My husband and I could not have chosen a better place.

We were able to rent a lodge on the resort for the family and close friends to spend the weekend together. We had a great time in a relaxed setting. The venue has so many options for any size wedding. The food is amazing! The staff made us feel...
so special the entire stay. Riding in and away on a horse drawn carriage was magical! Last but absolutely not least, the Wedding Coordinator Levy Hansard is the best! The interaction with him after visiting so many other venues was the reason we chose this hidden piece of heaven! I was able to be the bride while he handled every aspect of the wedding! It was perfect!

This place was everything we were looking for and so much more! Levi was a dream to work with and extreamly knowledgeable about everything. My Husband and I had a hundred questions, changed our preferences a couple of times and ended up with a...
wedding/reception even more beautiful and magical then we ever dreamed of. We live 6 hours away from Dahlonega, GA so everything was done by phone and email and Levi stayed on top of everything from day one. Some people thought I was crazy to choose a place so far away where I couldn't be more hands on. Levi was so open and accommodating through the whole process that I felt very comfortable and extreamly happy to be working with him. We went with the Secret Garden package which was perfect for our needs, budget and family size. The reception hall was decorated better than I ever could have imagined and the food was so delicious. We also took advantage for Forrest Hills week long promotion and Honeymooned in their Cupids Hideout cabin for a week. Everyone at Forrest Hills was amazing and friendly!! The staff was very knowledgeable about the area and had lots of ideas on things for us to do. Every morning we got an amazing breakfast that overlooked the spot where we got married which just made our stay even better!! I highly recommend Forrest Hills Resort as a wedding venue, Honeymoon destination or just for a quite place to get away from it all and relax. We will definalty be coming back to visit in the future!

dding coordinator, in that it didn't seem to matter how may times we met and discussed things, I had to repeat myself often, and things were still forgotten day of. That being said, all of the other vendors that the venue works with were great! The hair and make up artists from Jolie Day Spa were wonderful, the florist, Laurens Norton, was out of this world phenomenal, the baker, Donna Cauller, was fantastic, and I cannot possibly say enough good about the DJ, Tommy Pirone. All in all, the venue can offer great packages at great prices, just be aware that if you have any special requests, like a vegetarian meal for a bridesmaid, or wanting lemonade to be served, it will be like pulling teeth.
