“What an amazing venue. From the moment we found this location we knew we had the right place. The owners and staff were amazing. The venue offers everything you would need to have a successful event. My daughter's wedding was this past Saturday 4-12-2025 and she was married under the large live oak tree on property. The event space offers beautiful rooms for the bride and groom and their entourage to get ready comfortably. The catering staff has access to a large kitchen. The venue has tons of decorations available for use. The metal sign with the bride and groom's name on it is such a great keepsake and was a great center piece on the large firepit. The venue owners and staff helped make the day go seamlessly. I highly recommend the Barn at Deep Creek.”

“We had the perfect wedding experience at All 4 One Farms. It was the first venue we toured and I found myself comparing every venue after to it. Not only were the Lassiters a dream to work with, but the venue was everything I could want for our special day. From the beautiful pews to the amazing open air barn to the stunning bridal suite and groom’s room, I couldn’t be happier with our choice and I can’t recommend All 4 One enough!”

“Sweetwater Branch Inn (SWB) went above and BEYOND to make my wedding weekend everything I had dreamed of—and more. If I could give SWB a million out of five stars, I absolutely would! My wedding was on March 16, 2025, and originally planned as an outdoor event. The team at SWB was incredibly flexible, allowing me to get creative with the venue and hold the ceremony and dinner in a different location than they usually do which was impressive in itself! Just days before the wedding, a storm was predicted to hit. At the last minute, we ordered a tent for the gardens (something that had never been done before), completely reworked the layout we had spent over a year planning, and somehow, everything turned out perfectly! Adrienne, the event coordinator, and Angel, the food and beverage coordinator, were nothing short of incredible. Adrienne went above and beyond, dedicating extra time and effort to ensure my vision came to life, even with the last-minute changes. Every single member of the staff was truly wonderful. My close family stayed at the Inn and didn’t want to leave! Guests traveled from Canada, New York City, and even Sydney, Australia—and every single one of them raved about their stay. From the friendly and helpful staff to the elegant decor and the delicious food (both at breakfast and the wedding!), they were beyond impressed. I cannot say enough great things about Sweetwater Branch Inn and the amazing event venue they provide. They do everything with heart, which is so rare these days—and that, above all, meant the world to me and my guests.”

“The Depot Event Space hosted our wedding and they did a magnificent job. The location was beautiful, the staff were attentive and quick to respond, and the price was among the best in Gainesville. The associated food vendor was also fantastic - every single one of our guests complimented the food as being very good! We asked for a recipe modification after the tasting and they were more than happy to accommodate. Thank you very much to everyone who worked with us to make our event so special!”
