About This Vendor

Secluded Waterfront Venue in North Georgia!

Located in metro Atlanta, GA, Vecoma at the Yellow River is a waterfront venue that hosts weddings and other special events. The owners are Judith and Caroline, a mother-and-daughter duo that helps to-be-weds enjoy their nuptial celebrations in this breathtaking setting. Vecoma at the Yellow River is a secluded gem among 70 acres of oak, pine, and sweetgum trees, situated by its namesake river. In the 1920s, Cotton Mather found success in his furniture business and sought a country home for himself, his wife Venie, and their four daughters. In 1927, Venie and Cotton finished constructing a six-sided cabin, built from wood and stone from the property itself. The name “Vecoma” comes from the first two letters of their names. The chimney and the foundation of the original cabin remain intact, located next to the reception hall constructed in 1996. Judith and Caroline are descendants of Venie and Cotton and invite you and your loved ones to enjoy this venue’s verdant peace and beauty. Vecoma at the Yellow River offers packages for wedding ceremonies and receptions as well as elopements and vow renewals. You can make private use of ceremony sites, reception areas, and dressing rooms. Up to 320 reception guests or 250 seated can attend events at this venue. With a location within metropolitan Atlanta, this property offers forest and mountain views with a long drive for guests. The friendly staff offer catering, bartending, DJ service, photography, and event rentals for your convenience.

are 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.

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!

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 h...
ave 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 dec...
ent 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.

d also like to reply here so the readers of your review have our point of view. Since your rehearsal dinner options were limited due to COVID-19 restrictions, Vecoma gave you a place to have your rehearsal dinner at a huge discount and at the last minute. We had made the arrangements with your mother-in-law and I was caught off guard when your mom was upset at the set-up. I apologize if I was part of any miscommunication. With respect to the centerpieces, your final invoice listed the hurricane globes as the centerpieces desired so that is what we had on the tables when the florist arrived. There did appear to be some confusion about what centerpieces you wanted and I did suggest your florist communicate with you directly since she was in charge of the decorations. We take photos at every wedding to share on our social media. Most couples enjoy having extra photos of their wedding at no additional cost and to be spotlighted on our social media. Our feedback on this has been overwhelmingly positive, however, I apologize if it felt intrusive. I hope you will accept my apologies for creating any wedding day stress or giving you a bad experience. You are a beautiful and sweet couple and I was so happy you had your wedding at Vecoma.

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?!

o 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.

They have a fabulous in house DJ, wedding coordinator for the wedding day, 2 meetings before the wedding, ceremony rehearsal on site (which I will add was very quick and went smoothly because Vecoma is very organzied), great photography pricing, and the alcohol/food comes from Vecoma. Their open bar is the best choice (it saved us the most money with the amount of guests that attended the wedding). The alcohol selection is great, they have basically anything you want. The food is delicious, we had the Italian feast with a roast beef carving station. I also really liked that Vecoma has 3 options for your ceremony. You can have it outdoors alongside the river, on the covered deck, or inside by the fireplace. I was really bummed because it rained on my wedding day, so the ceremony had to be moved inside by the fireplace instead of by the river; however, looking back, I don't regret having the ceremony indoors. The lighting and decorations inside are so nice, and looked wonderful in person and in pictures. After the ceremony, it stopped raining so we were able to take some pictures outside as well. Overall, I am so impressed with Vecoma.

ndle stress well. As I searched for venues I found nothing that was in my budget and fit our personalities. I came across Vecoma and fell in love! I did all of my research (stalking) on the venue read all of the amazing reviews and decided to take a tour. During my tour I was pretty much sold. The staff was super sweet, all prices were already broken down for me so I didn't have to guess and do math on if it fit my budget or not. There were so many options to make it work for us. Being that Vecoma is pretty much a one stop shop for 90% of the vendors you need for a wedding, it's been a super easy no stress journey. Even after I set my date they wer sooooo flexible with me! Vecoma reminds me of a family home. It feels like home, family, and love. They operate in excellence and are so professional. I'm so excited to have them in my corner for my big day!!!

outdoor wedding ceremony on the banks of the Yellow River was lovely. For the ceremony, the bride and groom stood under an arbor with a view to the river flowing past behind it. After the ceremony, the reception was held up at Vecoma's lodge. That setting is incredible as well. Our guests all had a wonderful time eating a delicious dinner and then dancing the night away. From the moment we booked the venue, until the last moment of the reception, Caroline and her staff were kind and helpful. Vecoma was definitely the perfect choice for our daughter's wedding.

autiful, romantic as well as stunning. After almost 7 months of searching and visiting venues I found the Vecoma at the Yellow River. It was everything I was looking for. Literally, from the drapery on the ceilings to the river behind the georgeous ceremony area. You can have your wedding inside or out. I love options. The décor, food, set up and breakdown is included in the price. The food is delicious! We tried the food during the food tasting we were invited to. There are plenty of options for every taste. The décor is to die for. Beautiful wall décor, and greenery. They include centerpieces if you choose or use your own. The Vecoma is just georgous all around. The outside (front and back) to the deck and the inside will take your breath away. But the absolute best part about the Vecoma is the wonderful people. I felt like I was the only bride in the world. They are so personable and answered all of my 2,365,158,265 questions with a smile and without making me feel like a bother. From the staff to the actual owners I always felt like a princess. They 100% saved our day and we forever grateful for it. If you are still searching, do yourself one of the greatest favors ever and visit The Vecoma at the Yellow River. You will not be disappointed! -Sherita

the Atlanta metro area. It was the one and only place we visited and we knew immediately it was the right place for our laid-back, vintage inspired wedding. We held our wedding here on June 19, 2016 and couldn't have been happier with the end result. Caroline and her staff consistently communicated through the whole process. They put me at ease at the 2-month planning consult. They took down notes to know what I wanted for the day of and have so much experience that they know exactly the things they need to know from overwhelmed brides to help make the big day run smoothly. The day of the wedding I felt completely at ease because the staff is spectacular. The staff helped make sure the people setting up the reception area had everything they needed, Caroline was efficient as our photographer and the staff made sure everyone had what they needed throughout the reception. Vecoma caters the reception and the food is spectacular. Many of our guests commended the food. The outdoor setting near the Yellow River is beautiful and the indoor reception area is perfectly romantic. I cannot say enough good things about this wedding venue. It has everything a couple could need to have the wedding of their dreams. I truly thank Caroline and her staff for a wonderful day we'll always remember!

ever heard of Vecoma, but kept running across it on sites. At the time their website wasn't as developed as now so I wasn't quite sure. I had been to 5 venues, had huge packets of info and just felt like maybe I should elope when I sent an inquiry to Vecoma. Caroline instantly responded with a general quote (WOW!! maybe I COULD do this) and invited me for a visit. They have open houses on Saturday mornings, and I HIGHLY recommend that you go because if you have visited any other venue you will instantly see the differences. There is no pressure, you aren't locked into a time frame, you are free to walk the grounds, look at previous wedding books, talk to staff, all so low key and no stress! You can price out items, look at menus, and simply be relaxed. Not only is the venue stunning and has multiple options in terms of ceremony and reception, what truly make the venue is the staff. On my Saturday tour, it was the staff that helped me solidify my choice in less than 30 minutes, something I had agonized over for months! In terms of pricing - you can make any budget work here! It is clear cut, nothing hidden, easily explained, you know up front what you are dealing with and if you want to add or change things they are completely fluid. They have payment plans that are manageable and take a huge stress away! They have the BEST menu choices and pricing available, including the best full bar pricing! I purchased a full bar and they even included 2 complimentary passed hors d'ourves. The other thing you will find is that they do not nickel and dime you to death, there is no charge for turning on the twinkle lights, you can use their mirrors, votives, fishbowls, wood centerpieces and anything else that is considered a "house item" FREE of charge. They give you the freedom to express yourself in decorations, you get to bring your own cakes with NO cutting fee! I had 4 cakes and 5 pies, 9 total and NO EXTRA CHARGE. They even provided the cutting utensils and sliced and served! It is the little things here, the level of personal service, the relaxed atmosphere, the freedom to be yourself that make it truly stand apart. The other thing is you don't have just ONE person who helps you. There is literally an army! Caroline is simply Wonderwoman and from managing the venue to being the best photographer and is so down to earth, she will make all worries disappear! Caitlin, Judity, Cathy, all answered tons of questions, quickly responded to emails, and made being a bride EASY. On the day of we didn't realize ALL of the staff come together to help you set up, put out decorations, find a bandaid, help with wardrobe malfunctions, I was amazed! The food....incredible! We didn't make it to a tasting, but I trusted reviews and it was impeccable, best chefs, people are still commenting on it! DJ/photography - they have both in-house if you choose and the prices can't be beat! Caroline's pics you can see online and DJ Kirk makes it a breeze and you can pick all of your own songs or he will help if needed. All included in your invoicing! I'm running out of room so the bottomline is this - check them out, you will be amazed, it will be perfect, your guests will be in awe, and your wallet will thank you!

was perfect. I honestly couldn't even imagine getting married on the lawn now- the deck was just perfect. The staff was there with us every step of the way to make sure we had everything that we wanted, and everything that we needed. One of the things we most appreciated was the vendor day that Vecoma held- a day where their preferred vendors come to the venue to share their services with you. We found our florist (amazingly fantastic- my bouquet blew me away!), pie baker (pies, no cakes, and so delicious!), and DJ (read the room all night and kept it going!). We felt confident going in knowing our vendors knew and had worked in the space before so there was no confusion and no need for a planner. Everyone had worked with everyone before, and Caroline and Judy at Vecoma made sure we didn't miss a thing. From that special moment when we had our first look on the deck, to the last dance surrounded by our friends and family, we are so glad we were surrounded by the beauty, professionalism, and care provided by Vecoma. Hands down the best decision we made during the planning process.
