Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin?! From the moment we arrived at Nantahala lake we fell in love all over again. This hidden NC gem is one of the most serene, magical places I have ever been. Nantahala Weddings and Events made all my wedding dreams come true and it was absolutely perfect. If I could give them 10 stars I would. My wedding here was everything I dreamed of and more. I absolutely loved all the options to customize and choose your own vendors. I became very frustrated early on in my wedding planning process because I didn't want to have my vendors chosen for me by my venue. While Jody, the venue owner, has a list of trusted vendors (that are wonderful btw), you don't have to use them. Being based in Atlanta, we used a mixture of local vendors, Atlanta vendors, and Asheville Vendors. The venue spaces are sensational, and the views are the best in the area! Jody is absolutely amazing and such a joy to work with through the entire planning process. Not only is she professional and prompt, but you can tell she loves what she does and she loves the couples who choose Nantahala. She was able to help me so much through the planning process with recommendations and tips. The venue is in the woods in the mountains overlooking Nantahala Lake. It can be used for a wide variety of wedding styles from casual to formal (my theme was elegant bohemian!)- which I think makes it attractive for so many different brides and grooms looking for an outdoor venue. It is also completely dog friendly!! There are so many options to make it exactly what you want. Bonus, there is no end time, set schedule, or noise restrictions! The package I chose meant I had the venue Thursday - Monday so I was able to host a wide variety of wedding events (Rehearsal, Ceremony, Reception, After party bonfire, Sunday Brunch) all at my own leisure. It truly is an all in one venue at one great price! The venue has lodging options right on the site which is amazing. I was barely in the car the whole weekend! There are also several cabins within walking distance of the venue. Overall, I could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else. It truly was the best day of my life. This place is magic and I would recommend it a 100 times over!

Stone Creek Inn

4.0

Rockmart, GA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,000

Stone Creek Inn is a picturesque wedding and event venue located in Northwest Georgia. We feature a large creek with a lovely bridge, a covered ceremony area nd indoor ballroom. Choose from many full service wedding packages for your special day.

We had an absolutely beautiful wedding. All of the designs we picked came to life beautifully on the day of. The food and cake were absolutely to die for and we received so many compliments from our guests about this as well. We absolutely loved Michael in the design studio as well as Abby our day of coordinator. My only grievance and reason for not giving 5 stars is the communication during and after the planning and wedding day. We had to ask for things to be updated and fixed multiple times before things would be addressed which was a bit frustrating. One thing that really upset me was the fact that I had to correct the company at least 4 times in the months before the wedding that the bout count for the boys was wrong in the contract and was ensured it would be fixed. Eventually the count was fixed on the contract but come wedding day they were short 2 bouts and when I brought it up to the planner she was seemed quite unapologetic and in a rush to do other things. My photographer ended up making some with the leftover babies breath from my girls hair. This company will produce a beautiful wedding with all of the bells and whistles but can work on their communication with the bride and other family members, we are paying quite a bit of money after all. Check check and check your contract and you will have smooth sailing! Would recommend this venue
