Vecoma At The Yellow River

Vecoma on the Yellow River will forever and always hold a special place in our hearts. We had our wedding reception here on June 8th, 2024 with all our family and friends. Vecoma was wonderful and punctual to make sure the bride and groom were taken care of, as well as all the bridal party. The servers did an amazing job to make sure guests were fed and happy and the food at the venue was very tasty and have a lot of varieties of foods to choose from. The DJ is amazing! DJ Kirk did an awesome job to make sure the music was fitting for the bride and groom and also made sure to have a dance party all night- no one would leave the dance floor! We had the time of our lives with him. We found Vecoma back in 2022 when we first started our wedding planning and figuring out where to have our reception and, the moment I stepped on the grounds of this venue, I was sold. It is a smaller, more intimate place with a beautiful river in the back and stunning greenery to look at around the venue as well. It is truly breath taking for photos. We love Vecoma and highly recommend this location for a wedding, reception, or any other special occasion that someone may want to have at this venue. You will not be disappointed.

Vecoma at the Yellow River was a beautiful venue where we had our wedding reception. Caroline was extremely helpful, kind, professional and willing to answer all of our questions via email and in-person. DJ Kirk was also very skilled at entertaining our guests on the day of and staying on schedule, in addition to taking care of us (bride and groom) including ensuring food and drinks were being brought to our sweetheart table. Frank and his staff were also extremely accommodating and wonderful. Thank you all for a memorable evening!

We had our wedding at the Vecoma and we can not recommend this place enough! The venue itself is beautiful, perfect for our outdoor wedding! The staff went above and behind in very aspect to make our day happen, crafted a custom menu and signature drinks, and helped with setup and last minute questions on the day of. Everything flowed smoothly and all are other vendors were so impressed with the venue as well. Thanks for making our special day a huge success!

Our wedding at Vecoma was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Vecoma! The staff were incredibly helpful, and made the process as stress-free as possible. We didn’t need to hire a wedding planner because the staff were so involved (one staff member was designated to coordinate the ceremony and reception). The staff were incredibly kind, and I felt that they truly cared about me and the success of the wedding. The venue is beautiful, with a perfect balance of indoor and outside spaces. We were able to tailor the decorations based on our preferences, and Vecoma walked us through all the options. Whenever we had questions about certain aspects of the wedding, Vecoma had thoughtful responses and were flexible with our preferences (you could tell that they know what they are doing!). I even received compliments after the wedding about how good the food was. We used Vecoma’s in-house photography team, and they knew all the great spots, which made the pre- and post-ceremony picture process much faster. The photos were excellent, and the turnaround time was incredibly quick (about one week). We also used DJ Kirk (who we learned about through Vecoma), who DJs many weddings at Vecoma and knows how to smoothly facilitate the A/V situation for the ceremony. DJ Kirk also tailored the music to our liking and kept the dance floor exciting. Overall, Vecoma’s staff and recommended vendors allowed me to focus on enjoying the wedding. It was a great experience!

Vecoma was a perfect venue with beautiful views of the river and fall foliage! Caroline and Jack made the experience so enjoyable! Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful! They were upfront about all costs with absolutely no hidden fees. The food was delicious and we received several compliments from our guests. Several said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended! We also used several of their preferred vendors and could not have been more pleased! Caroline was our photographer and she was amazing! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars for making our day perfect!

Our experience with the venue was incredible! The communication was exceptional. Everyone there was great, and they made sure the ceremony and reception went seamlessly. We’d like to give special thanks to Caroline, who took stunning photos, Jack, who officiated the ceremony, and DJ Kirk, who really got the party started! We are just so pleased with this venue. It is a beautiful place to get married!

Vecoma at the Yellow River is more than just a wedding venue; it's an experience. I attended a tasting event here, and the serene riverfront location is breathtaking. The team's hospitality and the culinary delights they offered made it an unforgettable afternoon. They make a wedding planning easy. I highly recommend their venue.

We had our wedding at Vecoma in May 2023 and it was all around such an amazing experience. First, the venue is gorgeous. While it's not far at all from the highway, making it easy to get to, the venue feels very secluded and quiet. There is plenty of paved parking right in front of the building as well. The ceremony is held in front of an arbor surrounded by trees and the sound of the Yellow River, and we decided to bring only a small arbor decoration because the area is so beautiful. The ballroom for the reception was gorgeous as well and we decided not to bring much except some centerpieces - candles and flowers - because the room was already decorated so well. And we didn't even have to bring vases because they provided them. For a busy couple like us, not having to think much about decorations for the ceremony or the reception hall was a big help. The staff handled everything else from arranging the tables to setting out tablecloths and even lighting the candles. This kept a lot of the burden of set up off of us and our party. Second, the staff, especially Caroline and Caitlin, were phenomenal. From the very first time we contacted them, they were quick to respond and so helpful. I would send long lists of questions and usually within the day I had detailed answers to all of them. We also had two meetings, at 6 and 2 weeks before our day, to discuss all the details; on the day of, everything we had discussed was taken care of. They were so kind, especially at our 2 week meeting when I was stressed about all the details. They said that everything would come together and that they and their staff were there help on that day, so I didn't have to plan every single thing out. And they were right! When the day arrived, so many things happened so smoothly - because they've been planning weddings for a long time and know what they're doing. And Caroline was essentially the day-of coordinator so we didn't have to hire anyone. The rest of the staff was amazing as well - their positive attitudes really contributed to a great energy throughout the day. At the end, their staff handled the vast majority of clean up, so our families didn't have to stress about it! Third - they were so affordable! The cost breakdown on their website seemed extremely reasonable, compared to what we were seeing for other places. We reached out and they gave us a quote for our guest count, and it was close to what we expected! This helped us stay close to our ideal budget for the wedding without settling for something "cheap" - because this place doesn't feel cheap at all! Fourth, the DJ they recommend, Kirk Moten, was fantastic. He sent us lists of songs, templates for the reception, and answers to our many questions in a timely manner as well. He told us that we could be as involved as we wanted to be. We decided to pick out all the songs we wanted for the dance floor, and he stuck to that list. He was also amazing at keeping the energy up, and he made both the ceremony and reception flow so smoothly. We definitely recommend booking him with the venue! Last but definitely not least, the food was amazing! All our guests raved about it too. We had the Italian dinner and all of it was delicious. Overall, we couldn't recommend this venue highly enough! It was the perfect size for our 100 person wedding, they made everything so smooth, they were so accommodating of all our questions and requests, and it was beautiful. We truly enjoyed the entire experience.

I can't say enough about this venue. From day 1 when myself and my fiance at the time visited this venue we was met with friendly and very professional staff. From planning until the day of my wedding Catilyn was right there to answer any questions and Mr. Kirk and his staff on my wedding day was superb , very attentive and making sure everything was going as planned. The food was awesome. I got so many compliments about the food. Thanks Vecoma for making my day a beautiful day that I will cherish for the rest of my life Annette & Darrell Smith

My wedding was back in May of this year and while it is a gorgeous venue , I had some setbacks the day of my wedding. Do not get me wrong, this venue is gorgeous and has a beautiful backdrop of the yellow river but there are things that could have been improved on my day. First, when the bridal party arrived the AC was turned off in the upstairs room so we were drenching in sweat getting dressed. We told the photographer ( forget her name, not Caroline) that it was hot and she turned on the AC for us. This should have been done in advance especially if you know you have people coming who will have hair and makeup done. Second, when we arrived I could not find any wedding coordinator at all. No one that I had been in contact with the entire time was there the whole night of my wedding. Caroline had left Kirk in charge ( their in house DJ). So the guidance for the wedding was off. When the bridal party arrived, the in house photographer hadn't even taken the groomsmen photos yet. She said she was waiting on the coordinator to tell her. I didn't even know Caroline or any other coordinator would not be there that day. I had to tell the photographer when to take their photos and it made me feel like I was the coordinator. Third, the placement of the tables was not how they sent me in the floor plan layout like they originally sent me. So we had to scramble the day of to rearrange our table numbers the way they sent them to match, so people would know where to sit. Fourth, after the wedding was over the entire bridal party didn't know where we line up to enter for introduction and when to enter. The DJ we hired had to come outside to ask us where the coordinator was so that he could know when to announce us. It just seemed like I was doing more work as a coordinator and bride the day of the wedding.

The staff at Vecoma was absolutely fantastic. They made our wedding day memorable and were able to accommodate some small things for us. I had actually forgotten my bouquet upstairs in the bridal suite and realized it right before walking down the aisle. The planner literally RAN himself upstairs and grabbed it for me. Absolutely recommend this beautiful venue to anyone looking for an affordable venue.

Vecoma at the Yellow River is a beautiful, quaint, private and magical oasis in the most picturesque part of Snellville. We stumbled across the facility one day while driving by. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Caroline who graciously showed us around her family’s venue. From our very first interaction, she was courteous, informative and extremely welcoming. The interior is beautiful however once we saw the grounds, we were sold. The natural beauty of the location, the landscaping, the history of the land, and the river all present as the most ethereal wedding location. During our ceremony, we could hear the birds chirping, the river flowing and the breeze in the trees. What a treat for our guests and us! Afterwards, as we stood upon the river banks and Caroline took our wedding pictures, a beautiful butterfly dropped into the space between us and lingered there. Our reception was equally memorable. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive, professional and courteous at all times. No wedding planner or decorator was necessary and they helped to keep our itinerary on track. We had a wonderful time at Vecoma and highly recommend this facility for your next milestone event. Caroline and her team are amazing to work with and will definitely take excellent care of you and your guests.

They made the whole process smooth, easy, and beautiful! They were so responsive and always so professional and very kind. The food was fantastic, too! It was truly a perfect day.

Vecoma was the best venue we could have ever chosen! The food was delicious, Caitlin did a great job with our photography. It's been 5 years since our wedding, and I don't regret anything about it. We had our ceremony at a Church and Caitlin was gracious enough to come to my house before and take pictures as well as at the Church. They truly went above and beyond. Our guest still rave about the food and say to this day, it's the best "wedding food" they've ever had. I wanted a venue that had character and personality, and this was exactly it.

The venue was a dream! Our afternoon wedding was beautiful and enough can’t be said about how friendly and accommodating the staff was in helping my dream wedding day come true

I guess I’ll start from 7 months ago when my husband and I had just gotten engaged and began to look for venues. After disappointing prices, reviews, and venue appearances, we came across this gem located in Snellville. From the minute we pulled into the parking lot at The Vecoma at Yellow River, we were smitten. My fiancé’, at that time, said “This is it!”. Not only is the venue perfectly impressionable, the staff inside was welcoming and professional. Our first encounter with Caroline was simple snd easy. Upon entering the main reception area with beautiful high beams and balances, we felt at home, The outside grounds are well maintained and kept with picture perfect backgrounds and a thousands ways to add your own spin of decor. Did I mention, it’s also all inclusive??? Which made it so simple to plan our dream wedding. The florist and bakery were separate but both came highly recommended from The Vecoma and did not disappoint! Meg and Katelyn helped me navigate through the reception selections, while Caroline guided us through our rehearsal details and took the most beautiful pictures of our special day. There was also other staff that took great care of us on our wedding day! Everything was smooth and well organized. Our DJ was included and communicated very well with us for our music and moments. The most surprising part was that the food was absolutely fantastic. My guests wanted seconds and went back for more! Hats off to the chef!! My husband and I are truly thankful that we picked such a wonderful venue. Our guests raved about how beautiful everything was and our pictures have been the talk of the town. My husband has looked at our pictures over and over repeating how wonderful everything was and how it felt like a fairytale. Big thanks to the team at The Vecoma at Yellow River. You have honestly helped to make our dream wedding come true.

Caroline and the Vecoma team made my wedding day perfect! The months leading up to my wedding had stressful moments, I would call or email Catlin/Caroline - and immediately I was put at ease. They regularly work with many venders in Georgia - and are very knowledgeable about everything that is wedding! They are true professionals and have an amazing skill in wedding planning. The venue itself is breathtaking. My guests had amazing time and praised everything from DJ Kirk to the yummy food! Thank you Vecoma for making my wedding day the BEST day!

Everyone loved our wedding at Vecoma! The staff at Vecoma made the overall wedding experience hassle-free.

The whole wedding planning process was made easy by the staff at Vecoma. All of my emails were answered promptly and they were very helpful throughout the process. Everything on my wedding day ran smoothly and my husband and I felt very taken care of for the entire night. We were a little nervous about the food as we both are "foodies". They knocked it out of the park. Our guests said all the appetizers at cocktail hour were amazing and the food was great at dinner as well. The venue is in a gorgeous location and the fall colors were definitely prominent during our wedding. The tall guy from Philadelphia (we forgot his name) was awesome!! He was so nice and very attentive to both Kyle and me. My mom also commented on how great he was as well. Kyle and I both had expectations of the evening and Vecoma far surpassed them. Thank you all so much for making our day INCREDIBLE!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!! The only piece of feedback I have is for the DJ (DJ Kirk) recommended by Vecoma. The DJ was good but my husband and I had very specific requests and we met with him to go over what we wanted. There were multiple songs played that 'cleared the dance floor'. We didn't want any slow songs to be played and just wanted to have our guests dance the night away. We gave a long list of songs we suggested him to play and suggested playing songs for a shorter amount of time than the whole song. Overall, it wasn't terrible by any means, it just wasn't what Kyle and I had asked for or wanted. We wanted to comment on this in case any couple wants something specific we suggest going with a different DJ. If you just want a standard DJ he was good and the day ran smoothly.

The staff over at Vecoma at yellow river was super cool they made sure that we had everything we needed and our wants was taken care of. The Chef did a wonderful job with the food it was delicious, and flavorful The gas is still talking about the food . The space was so gorgeous and inviting. The ambulance was more than what we expected, everything I mean everything was just beautiful I will most definitely be using them again.

Caroline and the team at Vecoma made my wedding day magical. Her venue is gorgeous, her staff is friendly, helpful and patient, and their food was INCREDIBLE! I HIGHLY recommend them for any event you need to hold, but Vecoma is absolutely PERFECT at delivering beautiful memorable weddings!

it took us forever to find our venue, and I'm glad we kept looking, because Vecoma was absolutely perfect place for us. They were incredibly accommodating and had some great features that never saw at other venues. amazing indoor/outdoor area. One of my favorite little extras is that they have a kegarator to serve draft beer, which was great since most of my friends and I enjoy craft beer. On the day of, Caroline and her staff took care of everything. We had a very strict timeline to try and fit everything, and they helped make sure that the timeline was adhered to. We heard incredible remarks from our guests, but the number one compliment was how good the food was. Everyone loved everything. We had salmon, blackened chicken, porkloin, mashed potatoes, and redbeans and rice. Everything was incredible. We could not have dreamed of a better venue. I have been recommending them whenever anyone asks.

This venue was amazing!! The staff was amazing! The food was amazing! The bar service was amazing!! I planned my wedding from another state during a PhD program and the Vecoma team was so kind, patient, and helpful for my process! They made my wedding day magical!!!!!

Our wedding was beautiful! We could not have found a better venue. Caroline was the best! The communication was awesome, and she went over and beyond to meet all our needs. The entire staff at Vecoma was awesome. Thank you for making our big day so special!

It was a beautiful venue that was very easy to work with. They were super helpful in answering all of our questions. This venue has such amazing places to take pictures, the food there is amazing. The staff there is amazing. Stop your search now and just book at this amazing venue. I am so happy we picked Vecoma for our wedding day!

They were amazing! Budget friendly and very accommodating. They made the day perfect for my husband and I. And the backdrop for the ceremony and pictures are to die for. I loved it, my husband loved it, and the guests all loved it!

I am so happy the Lord God led me to Vecoma at the Yellow river. It was everything and more . My guests are still talking about how lovely a wedding it was how great the food was how great the DJ was everything was so nice it was such a beautiful location and all the guess were so friendly and the staff was so friendly everybody loved it and it's all thanks to the coma. many thanks to Caroline the photographer who did an outstanding job and she even danced at me on the dance floor . Many things to DJ Kirk, Caitlin and the event coordinator. Many tmany thanks and thank you even for Mr Tucker who officiated our wedding. Truly almost a One-Stop shop I had the DJ the catering the bar was great thank you Caitlin for bartending the music was great the ceremony was great we loved everything and of course again amazing photography by Caroline you truly don't need to go anywhere else. They were very accommodating with the covid-19 situation and the pandemic thank you for all your help at making this dream a reality.

Caroline and her team made my October wedding go off without a hitch! They were very flexible when I had to downsize my guest list due to covid-19. The food was absolutely amazing, the staff was wonderful, and the venue itself is breathtaking! Caroline also photographed my wedding and the pictures are gorgeous! I would 100% recommend Vecoma to any Atlanta brides looking for a beautiful, intimate venue.

I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding here and the venue was amazing! There were many spots to take gorgeous photos outside. Indoors was a photographers dream with the white interior that made the photos come out amazing and easy to work with. Would hands down recommend this venue to anyone!

Vecoma was the third venue I had toured! I booked my wedding the very next day. It is a beautiful venue! Caroline and her staff were very sweet and accommodating. My wedding was originally scheduled in June but I decided to postpone until October due to COVID. This happened with no hiccups and no extra fees! I used the in house DJ who was great. My guests are also still talking about how good the food was. The venue has many great options to have your ceremony. I chose to have mine on the covered patio and it was amazing! We absolutely loved everything about Vecoma and would definitely recommend it!!

I can't say enough good things about this venue, Caroline, and her team. Planning and communication: Caroline and her team are so easy to talk to and work with. No matter how simple or complicated our questions, someone always got back to us within 24 hours. They have so many weddings and must juggle so many couples, but we never once felt undervalued. Also, I don't see much mention of this, but this venue is SUCH a good value! My husband and I have incredibly busy jobs so we were looking to have as all inclusive an experience as possible. Through them, we booked the venue (obviously), photographer, DJ, caterer and while we had our own officiant, we could have done that too. They made this process so easy, I was actually worried I wasn't doing enough planning at some points. COVID: They went above and beyond to allow us to reschedule and alter our plans when COVID hit. They listened to all our concerns and provided a safe, distanced environment that all of our guests complimented us on. I had heard so many horror stories from other brides about vendors not honoring contracts and not working with them, but our experience could not be further from that. Caroline made it clear that she was on our team and would do as much as she could to give us the perfect day in spite of it all. Day of: Our day-of coordinator, Kayla, was an absolute superstar. She kept things rolling, families in line and vendors in check: our day could not have gone any smoother (at least from our perspective) and we were so grateful to have her with us! This wedding had been a year and a half in the making and we had faced so many hurdles, but everything just went perfectly. She made sure that we were taken care of and had any food or drink we could want while still being attentive to her own staff. The day flew by, but we never felt rushed by her or her team. Caroline and her team were great to work with, and I can't recommend them enough! We'll miss working with them!

The ladies at Vecoma were so amazing and patient with my constant emails and questions. They took care of every detail and the venue is gorgeous! I highly recommend this location for ceremony and reception.

We could not have been happier about choosing Vecoma as our wedding venue. Not only were they so flexible about the Covid-19 situation and us having to move our wedding date, when we did end up having the wedding they helped us arrange the ceremony and reception to ensure safe distancing while still creating a feeling of togetherness at the reception. The food was also amazing, and guests kept coming up to us during dinner talking about how good the food was compared to other weddings they had been to. I would highly recommend Vecoma for anyone looking for a beautiful outdoor wedding spot and an effortless reception.

I do not know where to begin... Planning a wedding during a pandemic was the last thing on our minds when we decided to get married. If it wasn't for Caroline, Jack, and the rest of the WONDERFUL staff at Vecoma At the Yellow River, we would have settled for a civil ceremony at the courthouse or at home. However, all my dreams for the perfect wedding day came to fruition - down to the most minute details. This venue is simply amazing. Hidden in the city of Snellville lies the perfect location to host an indoor or outdoor ceremony. I wanted to get married outside by the arch, and was very disappointed when my fiancé recommended that we hold the ceremony indoors due to the heat (thank God I listened to him); however, Caroline was able to show me how lovely a ceremony would be indoors and even allowed us to bring in our own arch so I could still have the effect I was looking for. We ended up planning the wedding in about two weeks, but everyone who attended (in person and via Zoom) said that it looked like we had been planning this event for months. I owe all of this to Caroline, her staff, and my incredible Wedding Planner Kimberly Sands. From the moment you pull into the parking area, the remoteness and serenity of the location puts your mind at ease. During our initial meeting with Caroline and Jack, every question was answered in a positive manner and if I asked for something out of the norm, Caroline found a way to accommodate my request. During our rehearsal, my pastor was unable to attend, but Caroline and Kimberly worked together to create the vision for my day based on my wishes. I did not even have a wedding program ready yet, but somehow, they understood my desires and executed them flawlessly. On the day of our wedding, Caroline and her staff were not only attentive and responsive from the moment we arrived, they did everything within their power to make the day COMPLETELY STRESS FREE! I immediately when upstairs to get ready and every time I uttered, “ask Caroline…” or “find Caroline…” or “I need Caroline…” she magically appeared. I truly felt like a princess for the day. Kimberly and Caroline collaborated to ensure the décor, centerpieces, music, seating, lighting, you name it, was up to my specifications. When I walked through the doors to meet my future husband, I was amazed at the transformation of the room. To put it simply – I was stunned. The day went off magically, successfully, and beautifully. We did not have time to do a tasting before the wedding, but everyone commented on the exceptional taste and quality of the meal. Caroline also served as our photographer and we already have our photos back and they are truly superb. Many couples have decided to put their weddings on hold due to COVID-19 – I was one of them. Yet, Caroline and her staff helped us create a memorable occasion while staying safe and social distancing. I could go on and on about our experience at Vecoma At the Yellow River, but my recommendation is for you to give them the opportunity to make your wedding day the most incredible day of your life!

We cannot say enough to speak to our satisfaction of our wedding venue, Vecoma at the Yellow River. First of all, if you are looking for a serene outdoor venue in Georgia, close to the city, this is the perfect venue for you (LOOK NO FURTHER). We love the outdoors and this venue is gorgeous and located right on the river bank. The fact that catering is through the venue made everything very simple as well. We found the pricing to be extremely reasonable through Vecoma compared to other venues we considered which were not as nice. We had the benefit of planning for over a year and had the opportunity to see the venue a few times during the year and it is beautiful year round. There are lots of special nooks and areas for pictures which we loved as well. The indoor reception room is very tastefully decorated and comfortable. It is a nice blank canvas for any kind of decor you may have in mind. Caroline, the venue owner, and all staff members are extremely professional and easy to work with both on wedding day and planning. Our wedding fell right in the middle of the pandemic which required us to reschedule from April to July. Caroline and Vecoma kindly and graciously allowed us to reschedule easily and without extra fees. They helped us do everything possible to keep our guests safe. They had a page long list of procedures they followed to ensure guest and staff safety while remaining flexible to allow us to make our day just as special. This is the perfect venue for "coronavirus times" because there was ample spacing outdoors for ceremony chairs to be spaced and there is a huge deck for outdoor dining and mingling/cocktail hour. Staff all wore masks, and there was hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. I really appreciated that the venue did everything they could to keep all of our guests safe. Caroline offers day of coordination and was extremely available when we needed her for guidance throughout the process. She always returned calls promptly and was accommodating and easy to work with. We had a photographer and she even took a couple cool photos for us and provided them to us free of charge. The catering is through the venue and is wonderful. We did bbq dinner for our 4th of July wedding and it was really very tasty. Bar services were excellent as well. Once again, I cant thank Caroline or Vecoma enough for making our special day so wonderful. Even under the crazy world circumstances it felt very personal and like Caroline wanted our wedding to happen so badly. The venue and staff did everything they could to make our day special and worked wonderfully with our other vendors. The venue is truly a gem of a space and would be perfect for other kinds of events as well. I would encourage anyone to reach out to Caroline for any needs. The venue space is owned by her and has been in her family for over 20 years and it shows. It felt like we were welcomed into her home for our special day. THANK YOU VECOMA. You all are amazing.

Like the other reviews have said, Vecoma is an absolutely beautiful venue. The photos really don't do it justice. It's lovely inside and out from the landscaping to the reception room inside. The food is also pretty good and it comes with a decent size dance floor at a pretty good price. As far as the venue itself, Vecoma is 5 stars. My reason for only giving Vecoma 2 stars is due to the experience. If you want "stress free" or actually want things a certain way, I'd go with somewhere else. The staff were all very nice and helpful, but I cannot say the same for the coordinator of the weddings, Caroline. Caroline was very difficult to work with, she does the "southern charm thing" where she pretends things are all good and fine, but she's actually a completely different way. Caroline wanted several things about the wedding to be "her way" from the decorations, to flowers, to how many tables were set up. She placed extra chairs out for "social distancing" which made no sense considering they were all on top of each other, but there was a lot of empty seats which made the ceremony look awkwardly small. My florist had to argue with her to decorate the arch (which you see decorated in so many pictures), because Caroline thinks the arch is pretty and doesn't like having flowers on it. Caroline also argued with my mother at the rehearsal, making for an awkward situation. Today, (about 3 weeks after our wedding) I found out that Caroline yelled at my florist (who was a family friend) because Caroline didn't like the way my florist was setting up the reception tables. My florist was setting them up as we discussed, using the bouquets as centerpieces, but Caroline didn't like that. Caroline even checked with me and knew what I wanted day of and yelled at my florist because she didn't like it. I was furious when I found out my younger sister had to step in to stop her from how she was treating my florist. We ended up having our centerpieces the way Caroline wanted them because my florist just said that's how she had to do it and something seemed wrong, but I didn't press the issue. In addition, Caroline followed me and my husband around everywhere. She asked at the beginning if they could put some photos on their website, turns out that meant she was going to follow us everywhere we went to do an entire photoshoot to use as advertising for the next few weeks as no one else was having a wedding due to covid. Our date was May 23rd, we looked at cancelling our wedding to avoid covid issues, but were told that we would lose all of the money we had paid (we had already paid everything early). We were given the option to reschedule for a date within 6 months or we could have an elopement and they would still take $3,000. We decided to cut our wedding size down instead to avoid losing all of the money, but to still have a small celebration. I felt that was pretty reasonable, but it was my fiancé's only frustration. All in all, the wedding was beautiful, but I can't say I enjoyed it. I was so stressed my husband had to keep telling me to relax, but I couldn't because I was just waiting for the next thing that Caroline didn't like and was going to cause and issue about. I contemplated not leaving a review because I didn't want to be rude, but after what my family finally told me a few weeks after the wedding about how Caroline acted, I decided to leave one.

Beautiful daughters should get to celebrate their beautiful weddings with their beautifully spirited grooms at a beautiful wedding venue. Vecoma is the beautiful venue my beautiful daughter and her beautifully spirited groom selected to celebrate their wedding. Vecoma is a bride and groom's dream venue because all they need do is plant a vision of their wedding desires into the mind of the Vecoma bridal associate and viola!!!! A vision of beautify in all its splendor appears. With all the work load shifted from the bride and groom to Vecoma associate, the beautiful couple get to enjoy the process of preparing for the marriage celebration with the splendor and beauty that working with Vecoma and its associates brings. Thank you Vecoma for allowing my beautiful daughter and her beautifully spirited groom the opportunity to have the beautiful wedding experience of their dreams!!!!

In January, my fiancé and I were referred to this beautiful venue by a family friend and we were sold! Caroline and Jack were so kind and welcoming. We loved going to the open house that allowed us to taste food options and get familiar with different vendors! Of course at the time we booked with Vecoma, we did not know that a few months later we would have to face planning a wedding during a pandemic. Vecoma has been super flexible and accommodating making things an ease. Not to mention their patience and timely responses to numerous emails was exceptional. Before Covid-19, I fell in love with Vecoma and shared this excitement with everyone I knew. During Covid-19, my respect and admiration for Vecoma has skyrocketted and I must share my experience with the world. My fiancé and I are incredibly grateful for all that Vecoma has extended to us and it is my hope that all other brides and grooms will seek them out too for their special day. I promise, Vecoma will EXCEED your expectations! Did I mention they are also a one stop shop?!

Vecoma At The Yellow River is such a great venue for both ceremonies and receptions in Georgia! The venue is beautiful and everything works seamlessly before and during the big day. The venue is family-owned and operated by a mother/daughter duo who takes great care into making sure your wedding is exactly how you want it. They work closely with you through the whole process and are great about answering any questions you may have and makes sure you don't have to stress about anything. Their staff is wonderful and professional and make sure you feel special. There is a good selection of choices for their catering as well as special add-ons you can purchase at an extra cost. There is a private drive into the venue and a pretty decent sized parking lot so it feels like you and your guests can enjoy an exciting, private moment without having to worry about random pedestrians or worrying about people finding the venue or having parking issues. There is ample space in the ceremony area for a large number of guests. However, if you are planning to have an indoor reception make sure to go over seating arrangements ahead of time if you are going to have a large group. We had about 65 guests and it was pretty packed inside the reception hall. Not to mention the dance floor was only able to hold about half of that at one time. If you have more than that then they do offer overflow seating onto the deck, and if you're having your wedding during a cold season they can place large space heaters so no one gets too cold. However, if you have a large group and it's important that everyone is inside then this may not necessarily be the best venue for you. Overall, I loved this venue and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to get married in the Snellville area.

We had an amazing time having our wedding at the vecoma. They where very friendly,organized and just the venue got lots of great feed back from both family’s. Would definitely recommend this venue.

Everything was easy and seamless with Vecoma. They made sure all the details were handled and dealt with my multitude of questions. Highly recommend!

Caroline, Executive Director, and staff were always available to answer questions and to guide us in planning the wedding. The facility - inside and out - is beautiful - even for our December wedding. We liked the fact that Vecoma can accommodate a small wedding, but they also have room to expand as needed. All policies and prices were given to us when we signed the contract. There were no surprises. I highly recommend Vecoma!

Vecoma is an absolute gem- beautiful location, well maintained facility, stunning interior, and a friendly staff. Caroline and her team were so helpful during the months leading up to the wedding; they answered questions, made me aware of common pitfalls to avoid, and helped us customize the wedding to make it our own. They were also extremely professional, efficient, and informative during the rehearsal and the day of the wedding ensuring plans went smoothly. Further, the food was amazing! Our guests are still raving about the lasagna. We truly appreciate everyone’s hard work and would recommend Vecoma to anyone.

We had an amazing experience with Vecoma and their staff!!! Vecoma is a family owned and ran business! Their prompt responses on any questions/concerns and flexibility in any and all requests we had helped to make our day amazing and stress free!!! We were blown away by Vecoma and their preferred vendors on how well they all worked together! We had an amazing wedding thanks to all of their support!

I don't even know where to start. Everything went absolutely perfect! They made our dream come true! The staff and coordinators at Vecoma were UNBELIEVABLE! I had the most perfect day because of the staff at Vecoma. They were there for me throughout the planning process. Whenever I sent an e-mail I always got a reply right back. They went out of their way to make sure our day was MORE THAN PERFECT! So sad our day is over but we will definitely be back to Vecoma very soon! -Haley Braunstein

Vecoma was absolutely gorgeous, and the event staff made everything amazing and seamless. The food was fantastic! Our guests are still talking about how magical everything was. My only recommendation for improvement is to put in stairs to get down to the rock for those awesome photos. The photos by the venue photographer have all been gorgeous!

I'm so happy I found vecoma it was a beautiful venue didn't really need to decorate that's how beautiful the venue was so happy with the staff as well very helpful and kind.

Our wedding at Vecoma was a dream come true! Everything was so perfect and the staff was nothing short of amazing. Caroline & Caitlin were there to help every step of the way, and answered every question we had (even the obvious ones lol). The venue is beautifully decorated and the food was amazing. Everything came together so wonderfully and I'm so happy we chose this place to get married at.

We had the most magical wedding celebration, all thanks to Caroline and Caitlin!! They thought of everything and made the entire experience stress free! They were very nice, professional, and a pleasure to work with! The venue is stunning and affordable. The food was tasty and the photos came out amazing! Thank you for an amazing time!

Vecoma was extremely helpful and accommodating. The venue is absolutely beautiful and spacious. FYI it looks even better than the photos, you have to go visit. Also, their food is delicious! Everyone from our wedding complimented the Italian feast. The dance floor was a great size and allowed enough room for us to do our special first dance, which randomly went viral. Thanks Vecoma for being apart of our special memories and thanks for your consistent help and impeccable communication over the months!

From rehearsal to reception bubble send off, the staff at Vecoma did a wonderful job to give my daughter the wedding she wanted. Caroline, and her staff (officiant, DJ, and entire staff of caterers and servers) were very professional and helpful. The decorations were lovely, and food delicious. I would definitely recommend Vecoma as a wedding venue.

Caroline and the staff at Vecoma at the Yellow River made our wedding day perfect from start to finish. They were available and quick to respond to our numerous emails throughout the planning process making everything seem effortless and eliminating all stress for us. Caroline easily accommodated every request we had to make our day uniquely ours. The staff worked seamlessly together so that on our wedding day nobody has asking me or my husband all those little detail questions that stress you out. We got numerous compliments on the food, DJ and photographs which were all provided by Vecoma. I could not have asked for a better day and I know that is all thanks to Caroline and her amazing staff!
