We got married here in April 2024 and it was so beautiful. When our plans to wed in a National park near Columbia SC fell through due to torrential rain forecast, we stumbled across Chateau Amelia. We couldn't have had a more lucky turn of events, because this place offered exactly what we needed for our small group. I had always wanted to get married in a forest setting and this place delivered! The historic house is so huge and well appointed and the barn is so modern and lovely. You can tell everything is well maintained and it offered so many great moments for photography. We were able to have all our vendors come and go and everything turned out just great. If you are considering Chateau Amelia, run do not walk because this will be a popular venue in the months and years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding on January 21, 2023. We were blessed to have our reception at The Venue at the Star Theater in Toccoa, GA. As a renovated historic theater, The Star offers classic vibes with romantic feels as you dance under the string lights. Areas offered are main floor for seating and dancing, stage area which we used for seating for the bridal party and the DJ, as well as the balcony area for seating. One of my favorite parts was the perfect get away / leaving reception area in the rear of the building. It is set up perfectly for guests to send off the happy couple and makes for absolutely beautiful moments captured by pictures or video. Lastly, I can’t say enough good things about the owner operators, Jim and Christy. They really go with you through the journey of finding the best way to set up all of the aspects for your special day - whether it a wedding, reception, or something special occasion. They not only let you know of what has worked well for other events at the venue but are open to trying new set ups and such (of course within reason - no hanging from the ceilings or anything like that!!) I would recommend 10/10.
