The Wedding Website of Meredith Raiford and Alex Akins
October 26 is supposed to be peak leaf week for the GA mountains! That being the case we are recommending everyone take advantage of the weekend in the mountains and rent a cabin near the venue. *thats what we’re doing* We are also finding that shared cabins are more cost effective than the local hotel options. So find yourself a buddy and start planning your getaway. ALSO A WARNING: our wedding weekend is the last weekend of Octoberfest in Helen, GA, so places are booking up fast! If you know for sure that you’re planning on celebrating with us at CeNita Vineyards, please don’t wait too long to book your accommodations. If you do choose to stay nearer to Helen, plan for a little heavier traffic on your travel days to the airport and ceremony. We can't wait to celebrate and enjoy the mountains with you this October! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us or our parents if you have any other questions!

House Or Rental

VRBO

The more people under one roof the cheaper the stay will be! Link up with other friends you know are coming to the festivities to see about splitting a cabin or condo together!

House Or Rental

AirBnB

Tried and true. If this is your first time using a site like this: under the "price/night" number listed at the bottom of each rental theres a link for "price breakdown" this will total up the cost of the weekend including all guests, number of nights staying, taxes and cleaning fees. AIRBNB will even let you split the cost with other members of your party at booking! No worries about who has to front the rental fee with this platform.

Gainesville features the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, the Don Carter state park and many beautiful trails. This hotel splits the difference between the Atlanta airport and the venue: 40 minutes away from the venue and 1:10 from the airport. We’ve blocked off a small number of rooms for any guests who would prefer a hotel to a cabin.
