I can't say enough wonderful things about The Vineyard at High Holly and the amazing owners, Leslie and Eric. My wedding was truly perfect, despite the unexpected arrival of Hurricane Helene! From the very beginning, Leslie and Eric went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, even as the storm approached. They made adjustments on the fly, ensuring that all of my guests were safe and comfortable while still creating the dream wedding I had envisioned. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that made our ceremony unforgettable. The attention to detail, the warmth, and the hospitality were unparalleled. Leslie and Eric's dedication to their couples shines through in everything they do — they really treated us like family. Even in the face of a hurricane, they managed to keep the atmosphere calm and joyful, and their support made all the difference. If you're looking for a venue with a personal touch, stunning scenery, and hosts who truly care about your big day, I can’t recommend The Vineyard at High Holly enough. Leslie and Eric made my wedding day feel magical, no matter what the weather threw our way!

The Retreat at Hiawassee River was the perfect venue for our wedding weekend. They were prompt with communication and helpful with all my questions, making the planning process seamless. We rented the all cabins and the pavilion so only our guests were able to stay on-site. It made for a very fun weekend as we got to spend more time with our guests. We also had the flexibility to do what we wanted throughout the weekend - there were no time constraints on start & end times for Friday & Saturday gatherings - which was exactly what we were looking for. Lastly, the decor closet was amazing. We had to bring much less decor knowing that the closet was full of decor options. The Retreat at Hiawassee River exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful and unique wedding destination.
