    The Lake Rabun Hotel & Restaurant was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was fast, friendly, and professional in their communication. They were extremely helpful in coordinating all the details, and their attention to customer service was top-notch. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous, with a beautiful outdoor setting surrounded by nature. We loved that they had their own A/V setup, which made things so much easier on the day. The food and drinks were delicious, and our guests raved about the overall experience. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, stress-free wedding day. Highly recommend this wonderful venue!
