Cold Creek Farm is a family-owned wedding venue nestled in the heart of North Georgia, lovingly operated by Jeff and Susan Buffington. Originally purchased in 2011 with the dream of building a working farm filled with animals, the property has since grown into something even more special. Through years of vision, dedication, and hard work, it has blossomed into one of North Georgia’s most beloved wedding venues. As guests arrive, they’re welcomed by horses and donkeys grazing peacefully in the front pasture beside the entrance, which proudly displays the farm’s name. Towering oaks, whispering pines, and rolling hills surround the barn, creating a breathtaking and timeless backdrop. Inside, the barn exudes warmth and rustic elegance, thoughtfully designed to bring each event to life. The ceremony space - once a riding ring - is now transformed with a charming white arbor and handcrafted pews, creating an enchanting setting where couples begin their forever.

“My daughter had the most majestic wedding at The Vineyard at High Holly this year! We chose to use Lesley as our wedding planner and it was the best decision ever besides the choice to have it at the vineyard itself! Since we were living in Florida at the time, we had to do the majority of the planning meetings via zoom with Lesley, and it truly worked out very well with our schedules. Lesley was so great at giving us amazing and unique suggestions for the wedding so that my daughter’s wedding would have the one of a kind uniqueness that every bride to be wants! As my daughter was looking for a garden themed wedding, Lesley came up with amazing ideas that complimented the theme, like having colorful umbrellas for the audience, which turned out to be super helpful since it provided shade as well as protection from the sprinkling of lucky rain that graced us all! But truly, from helping us find an incredible florist, to helping create a beautiful and personalized table scape to the overall unique floor layout, to finding us a DJ that specifically met our needs, Lesley helped to give my daughter a gorgeous wedding experience that was one of a kind and highly personalized. As a note though, the setting of The Vineyard at High Holly is truly breathtaking just by itself, so even if one did not want to add on extras it would still be gorgeous. One of the highlights of the wedding in which Lesley coordinated, was the arrival of a marvelously well behaved family of Llamas that stood as decoration during the ceremony and then provided incredible opportunities for photos during cocktail hour, it was like a fairytale!!! Let us not forget the incredible food though.. They have a chef that does a phenomenal menu of literally anything in the world you could think of… and the quality of the food is absolutely exquisite! Lesley and her amazing chef met with us together on zoom for quite a while talking about all the options to choose from and were able to give us everything we wanted and worked hard to make sure it was within our budget too! The day of the wedding Lesley went from already being amazing in helping us to plan everything but becoming literally superhuman in making sure each and every detail was taken care of. There was always a golf cart arriving whenever anyone needed to be taken anywhere readily available and Lesley would pop in to make sure we had everything we needed frequently during the day. In fact, she even hemmed my husband’s pants at the last minute- god bless her!!! I don’t know how she does it, but she manages to do about fifteen things at once and still do them all well… and she truly does care and wants the experience to be everything you have dreamed of and more, and will go ten extra miles to make sure that it happens. If you are looking to have the most unforgettable experience of a lifetime and also want it to be a retreat for your guests, The Vineyard at High Holly is the perfect place to make it all happen!”

“Lake Lanier Islands was hands down the best wedding venue we could have dreamed of! The setting was absolutely stunning, with unreal, breathtaking views that made us feel like we had the entire islands reserved just for our special day. The natural beauty of the venue, combined with its spacious and serene atmosphere, created a truly magical experience for us and all of our guests. The staff at Lake Lanier Islands went above and beyond in every way, but we especially want to give the highest praise to Fernando Saenz, our incredible Wedding & Social Events Sales Manager. Fernando was nothing short of a lifesaver. He worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was perfect, responding to every email and call within minutes—no matter the time. He was so kind, supportive, and incredibly organized, handling coordination with every vendor and anticipating our needs with unmatched dedication. Our wedding simply would not have gone off without him, and his exceptional care is a huge reason our day was so flawless. The food was phenomenal—truly the best wedding cuisine we’ve ever tasted! The staff, particularly at Sidney’s Restaurant and throughout our reception, provided the warmest, most attentive service. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how well they were treated and the outstanding experience from the moment they arrived to the time they left. We also have to highlight the front desk staff, who went above and beyond in making our guests feel so welcomed. They happily passed out our goody bags and were incredibly accommodating with early and late checkouts, ensuring everyone had a smooth, enjoyable stay. The golf carts were a massive hit, making transportation around the islands so much fun and convenient. The staff even went out of their way to meet guests or assist with returning the carts. With guests staying across all three locations—the Lodge, the Villas, and the LakeHouses—everyone was blown away by the beautiful accommodations. And our honeymoon suite? It was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect escape after our unforgettable celebration. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Fernando, the front desk team, and the entire Lake Lanier Islands staff for making our wedding so extraordinary. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue, and we will forever cherish the memories of that beautiful day!”
