My husband and I were married at The Beacon Bed and Breakfast in Hartwell, GA, and it was truly the most magical and relaxing experience we could have ever imagined. We stayed the night before the wedding and woke up the next morning to get married — calm, peaceful, and completely stress-free. The staff handled absolutely everything. All I had to do was share my vision — the flowers I wanted, the cake, the dinner menu, and how I wanted the table set — and they brought it to life perfectly. Even the photographer was arranged for us. Every single detail was exactly what we hoped for. The backdrop for our ceremony and photos was absolutely beautiful. The property is gorgeous and created the most stunning, romantic setting for our wedding day. Everywhere you turn is picture-perfect. I am gluten free, and they went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary needs. Every meal — from our wedding dinner to breakfast the next morning — was absolutely delicious. I never once felt like I was “missing out,” which meant so much to me. After the wedding, we spent another night there and woke up to a wonderful breakfast before heading off on our honeymoon. It was the perfect ending to the perfect celebration. The property itself is beautiful, quiet, and incredibly peaceful. The staff is so warm and welcoming, and Catharine — who actually married us — made the ceremony feel even more personal and special. And we can’t forget Tag, the sweet on-site dog who was always ready for cuddles! This place will forever hold such a special place in my heart. If you’re looking for an intimate, stress-free, and truly special place to get married, this is it. I cannot recommend it enough.

The Beacon was the perfect host for our wedding! They truly did their best to accommodate any requests we had, and they handled everything from the prep to the big day with apparent ease. The food was delicious (3 years later and our guests still tell us we had the best wedding food they’ve had), and the accommodations were amazing. Highly recommend the Beacon for your wedding needs!
