My husband and I had the best day of our lives here! Everything was absolutely beautiful, and the day went by so smooth because of our wedding planner, Shannon! They have great pri...
ces and great packages to fit your needs. Absolute dream venue for me, and the fact the day was so perfect made it 1000 times better. I will always recommend this place to any one who wants to get married in north Georgia. Thank you, Shannon, for the best day ever!
Take my advice, and ask the owner how long they plan on being owner, and if they have plans to sell venue to knew owners, because THAT is exactly what happened to me and my fiance,...
along with dozens of other brides. WE LOST $3,000!!! the original owner john took over when we signed a contract for my weddings, and not even a year later he sells it, without informing ANY of the brides, AND THEN the new owners COMPLETELY WHITE WASHED THE ENTIRE VENUE. like painted everything from the ceiling, down to the outdoor chappel floor with white paint. POOR CHOICE AND AN UGLY ONE. Because everything is white now, ANY BRIDE wearing white will just blend in with the walls. Completely stupid decision for the new owner, especially considering the charm this place has was because of the old brick, and original wood, and rustic colors. A beautiful 100 year old rustic farm house lost its charm, and I lost my dream wedding, and my money. They haven't even updated the pictures online of what it ACTUALLY looks like.
Worst part, I couldnt even get my money back. Dont even waste your breath with this place.
The Garden Cottage is a beautiful venue with absolutely amazing staff. Shannon and Lindsey were such a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism and expertise is second to none....
