The Smith House

Just over an hour’s drive from Atlanta, The Smith House serves as a romantic venue for pre and post wedding celebrations in the idyllic Appalachian town of Dahlonega, GA. We specialize in rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, bridal luncheons, and more. In our hotel we also offer room blocks for your out-of-town guests! Couples can enjoy the same level of southern hospitality that has been welcoming guests since 1922. You’ll feel like you’ve struck gold when you arrive at The Smith House. Built on top of a former gold mine shaft, this charming country escape offers history, comfort, and beauty at every turn. There are several indoor and outdoor event spaces ideal for hosting wedding showers, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and other special events of 20-145+ guests. Whether you choose to sit out on the veranda or inside one of the relaxed yet refined dining rooms, you and your guests will enjoy old-world charm with modern amenities. Each of The Smith House’s dining rooms comes equipped with 10-12 seats per table and a buffet-style food service. Your menu can be customized to suit your preferences and can include a host of southern favorites, like fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, creamed corn, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, and beans. The friendly team will handle setup, which includes linens, stemware, and buffet arrangement, and looks forward to welcoming you for a celebration to remember.
