My husband and I got married at the Vineyard in mid September 2019. I'm originally from that area and knew I would want to be married close to home, in the mountains, and at a location where everyone could be close together. The moment I toured... The Vineyard at 37 High Holly, I was sold. In fact, we didn't look elsewhere and cancelled the 3 other bookings we had for that day! A BIG bonus - the price is worlds different from those in downtown Highlands and you still get all the benefits and more. It's affordable. The Vineyard is tucked away on the side of the mountains in the spectacular Northeast Georgia/North Carolina mountains. Your entire wedding weekend can be spent here with plenty of lodging for your wedding party and more. At each corner of the vineyard, whether in the main house overlooking the treetops, in a small cottage with a view of the vineyard, or in the vineyard looking over the mountains, each spot is unique and gorgeous in its own way. Our family and friends came from all over the U.S. and were incredibly happy that they didn't even have to get in a car to be with us. They were also conveniently located to some prime spots for hiking, feasting, and exploring both Clayton, GA and Highlands, NC. Additionally, those who wanted to be in larger homes during their stay could rent houses in the Sky Valley or Highlands area which are both short car rides away. On the day of our wedding, I was able to look out over the vineyard and into the pavilion as our vendors arrived and began setting everything up. There was space for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to be close but completely separate. When it was time for the first look we didn't have to worry about travel/transportation. We lucked out with beautiful weather for our photos and rain came around ceremony time. Even with the rain, the views were perfect. All of our guests commented on how the pavilion for the ceremony ended up being gorgeous with the rain falling in the background and the clouds lifting over the mountains. We couldn't have dreamed this place to have been any more perfect than it was. It's truly a treasure tucked away in the mountains. I believe a venue should leave you always wanting more. We are hoping to go back every year for our anniversary to just get a taste of what wedding weekend 2019 was like for us and for our friends and family!
