The Vineyard at High Holly

Where do I even begin? When my husband and I were looking at venues a little over a year ago, we were feeling a little hopeless. Nothing felt quite right. That feeling was stripped away when we saw The Vineyard at High Holly. We left our tour giggly about the fact that we both fell in love with the property and knew we had to get married there. The cottages each have great personality, and make accommodations easy for family and wedding party members. Golf cart use makes getting around easy, even for people who may have mobility challenges. The ceremony space is absolutely beautiful. There are plenty of fire pits and gathering spots sprinkled across the property for people to get together. The pavilion has gorgeous views of the property and can be opened up to let in a breeze, or closed to keep out any rain. This reception space has a good sized commercial kitchen in it, making it a breeze to cater. Access to the refrigerators means it is easy to keep perishables and beverages cool the whole weekend. About 10 months after signing a venue contract, the property had new ownership. We were so nervous… Would this mean we would have to change venues? What would the new owners be like? My husband and I left our meeting with the new owners, Lesley and Eric, relieved and even more excited about the venue. They had been all hands on deck, working to make an already beautiful property look even more like heaven. It was important to us that our wedding weekend felt like a vacation getaway for our guests staying on-site, and for ourselves. On our last day at the vineyard, my husband and I didn’t want to leave after experiencing such a hospitable stay on this beautiful property. The owners are truly great people and extremely professional and passionate about making the vineyard the perfect space for events/vacations. Amidst some planning troubles, Lesley stepped up and worked personally with me to ensure we had everything ready to go with each vendor. She and Eric truly went above and beyond in helping plan our wedding weekend, and in actively working behind the scenes on our wedding day. Lesley’s communication skills are impeccable, which makes a huge impact when planning a wedding. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her hospitality made the experience so calming and even fun. My husband and I will absolutely be coming back to the vineyard for small getaways and to celebrate our anniversary next year. Lesley and Eric, we can’t thank you enough for everything and are looking forward to seeing you again soon! ❤️

My husband and I got married at the Vineyard at High Holly in June 2022. Being local to the area, I knew this was the place I wanted to get married and boy did it not disappoint. Being able to rent out all of the accommodations for our out of town friends and family to stay in made the whole weekend feel like a relaxing vacation. Whenever I felt the stress of walking down the aisle creep in, I took a walk around the vineyard and was able to breathe again. It is such a beautiful spot, we still get compliments about the wedding. For those choosing Scaly Mtn/ Highlands as a destination, your guests will be blown away from the beauty of our area and from the serenity found at the Vineyard.

Getting married at The Vineyard at High Holly was an absolute dream come true. Despite the short timeframe I had to plan and execute my wedding, stumbling upon this venue made my life so much easier. Renting out the entire property for the wedding weekend and having all our loved ones at The Vineyard was a truly magical experience. The staff on site were incredibly warm and accommodating, making the entire process a breeze. I wholeheartedly recommend booking your events here without any hesitation, especially for your wedding. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Our wedding weekend at The Vineyard at High Holly was an absolute dream! We loved that we could spend the whole weekend with our family and wedding party on site. There were so many beautiful spots at The Vineyard to host our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception. The location was perfect for our guests to hike, sightsee, and shop in Highlands over the weekend. We can honestly say that the owners and staff at The Vineyard at High Holly made our special day The. Best. Day. Ever! We can’t wait to visit and see the amazing changes and additions!

The Vineyard is heaven! It was the perfect place for our fall wedding. The place is beautiful but beyond that the service is top-notch. I was constantly impressed by the amount of communication and professionalism and overall kindness from Rachel, the event coordinator. She constantly eased my anxiety and made me feel excited instead of stressed. She was always transparent and helpful. There are so many beautiful places everywhere you look. The property is very well kept and there is attention to detail at every step. It was amazing to have our closest family and friends staying with us on-property. We all loved sitting by the fire and hanging out after events or having a cup of coffee together in the morning. The whole weekend was perfect and we can't say enough about the amazing team of people that bent over backwards to make our events run smoothly. Thank you!

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!
