The Wedding Website of Samantha Dietz and Adam Goren

Our wedding venue - Lonesome Valley - is a private community gracefully spanning the valley floor of the largest box canyon east of the Rockies. The valley encompasses nearly 800 acres of verdant forests and meadows surrounded by the 1,000-foot granite mountain faces of Cow Rock Mountain and Laurel Knob. Why it’s special to us: Samantha’s family has vacationed in the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau for 30+ years, and finished building a home of their own in Lonesome Valley in 2020. It’s Samantha's happy place! Samantha and Adam have made many memories here and we can’t wait to share the magic with you.
