About this vendor

Elegant North Georgia Wedding Venue
Nestled in the countryside of Dawsonville, GA, Swan Lake Overlook is a modern and elegant wedding venue. The estate sits on over 200 acres of gorgeous natural landscape and is home to many exciting animals. As you tie the knot with your partner you may be joined by distant alpacas, emus, and deer. A quaint courtyard sets the scene for romantic outdoor ceremonies. Mature trees and bright meadows frame the space, creating an enchanting ambiance. The happy couple can exchange vows in this private haven as their loved ones look on. Afterwards, they can head inside to begin the festivities or enjoy a refreshing open-air cocktail hour. There are plenty of opportunities to take stunning portraits on the grounds. Couples can get the animals involved in their wedding photos for a unique keepsake. Once the newlyweds are done posing for the camera, the reception can begin. Swan Lake Overlook delivers everything promised in the name. The venue features a large indoor event space with remarkable views of the sparkling lake. This creates an unmatchable atmosphere as couples and their loved ones sit down to dine. Each delicious bite is complemented by the stunning sights of Swan Lake. The venue itself feels stylish and elegant. Neat exposed beams and columns give the site a polished, rustic character. Decorative vintage chandeliers glow overhead, gently casting light on the newlyweds as they have their first dance. Dressing rooms for both sides of the wedding party make getting ready simple and exciting. The team at Swan Lake Overlook will do their best to get couples smoothly to this point. They are able to organize the food and drinks for a night of hearty celebrations. Tables and chairs are provided for the ceremony and reception. These seasoned professionals have a useful list of preferred vendors to handle couples' other needs. Prices starting at $6,900-$13,500, weekday and weekends available!

I could not recommend Swan Lake Overlook enough for your next event! Me and my husband got married at this beautiful venue and had an amazing experience. Mechelle and the Swan Lake team were so wonderful to work with. Not only was Mechelle quick to respond to every email, but she was super friendly and very accommodating to all our needs. I highly encourage you to book them for your wedding/next event, you won’t regret it!

Swan Lake Overlook is the kind of venue that after you tour it once, every other tour pales in comparison! We toured it in December, and it looked amazing. Since then, the venue has been constantly improving the venue by adding extensions, renovating, landscaping, and more. From December when we toured the venue to August of our wedding, our venue was better than what we signed up for! Moreover, working with Warren, Mechelle, and Sierra was a pleasure. Communications were always responsive and professional, and throughout the entire process of deciding on the venue, approving vendors, and our final planning for the day, they were extremely helpful. Their list of preferred vendors is great, and we ended up using some of them. For the vendors that we brought in externally, the process of getting them approved was smooth and we had 0 issues. Between Sierra and our own day of coordinator, everything was planned perfectly and flowed smoothly on the day of the wedding. Our wedding was in August, and even though it was very hot and humid outside, the inside had solid AC, and as it turned to evening, even outside was perfect. We were out there for hours taking pictures, and we were fine. Speaking of pictures, the venue was beautiful in August. We were blessed with rain the week before our wedding, and everything was green. The rolling hills, the forest, and the sunset - it was perfect! Finally, we had glowing feedback from all our guests. They loved the venue and its location and were constantly taking pictures! Additionally, multiple guests complimented how organized everything was such as driving in to the farm and being directed where to park. We're super thankful for Swan Lake and all its staff!
Any questions?

Venue is absolutely stunning and the owners are the nicest people ever! The price is incredible for the size and amenities of the venue. We also opted to reserve the estate house on-site which made the rehearsal dinner + wedding day run SO smoothly.

Just had our wedding at Swan Lake Overlook at the end of September. The day was absolutely perfect. Many guests told us that it was the most beautiful venue that they had ever seen. Michelle and her staff were amazing. She answered my never-ending questions with quick responses. The animals roaming around are great entertainment and make for some great pictures. Our whole wedding party also stayed in the Estate House on the property the night before the wedding. The Estate House is so convenient with a lot of space. The honeymoon/bridal suite is so pretty and great for wedding day brunch with the girls. Loved everything about this venue and can't believe they have only been open for 2 years. They have already completed so many great updates in that short time and can't imagine how it can get more perfect; however, I bet they will find a way.

It's hard to describe how beautiful Swan Lake Overlook is, and how ideal for a wedding. We just received the photos back from my daughter's wedding, and it underscores what a beautiful place it was to hold a wedding. I've not seen many venues with the combination of the lovely setting, and all of the conveniences you'd want - a spectacular bridal suite for getting ready (and a groom space too), beautiful outdoor setting for outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, and a lovely estate house on the property if you want to stay on-site. We were so fortunate that the animals were roaming around on the evening of our event, which made it all the more special.... and made for great photos too!

I can’t say enough about Swan Lake Overlook and the amazing people that work there. The venue is one of a kind. It is absolutely beautiful from the moment you drive up. Mechelle and Warren are a dream to work with. So accommodating, so helpful, so sweet. I am so thankful for them and for Swan Lake Overlook for the most amazing, beautiful wedding.

My husband and I got married at Swan Lake Overlook in November. The staff made the day unbelievable, and the venue was so unique! So many guests complimented how beautiful the scenery was and how it was a magical wedding venue! We absolutely loved that we spent our special day with Michele and Warren. I am so happy we chose SLO, a day we will never forget!!

My daughter's wedding was at SLO in October and we had a fantastic experience. The owners are incredibly easy to work with and the venue is beautiful. We even had some appearances by the animals during our outdoor reception. This venue is spectacular and they continue to make improvements to this already beautiful property. Definitely worth checking out. A plus, you can bring your own alcohol too! Love this place.

My fiancé and I just booked this venue for both our ceremony and reception! Mechelle was sooo easy to work with and so accommodating. We looked at almost 12 venues and immediately fell in love with Swan Lake from moment when we got there. A hidden gem with a beautiful, large, and functional bridal suite, fantastic open reception space, gorgeous outdoor ceremony space (with the best rain contingency plan too), and even the option for on-site accommodations! 10/10 recommend going to see the property! You won’t regret it!!
