Get me to the church on time – for you won’t want to miss a single second of a wedding set against the picturesque backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Blessed with natural beauty, Dawson County makes an ideal location for weddings. And brides and grooms are taking notice: At least five destination weddings head down the aisle each weekend March through November.
Venues include family-owned Forrest Hills Resort, a 140-acre wooded enclave with a variety of come-hither accommodations. With the help of its onsite wedding coordinator, bridal couples can choose a fairy tale wedding package and eloping couples (Shhh!) can opt for the resort’s Elopement Package. Peaceful and picture-perfect Amicalola Falls State Park and Lodge is a beautiful and budget-friendly wedding setting and the Peach Brandy Cottage is an uptown setting located downtown in the heart of Dawsonville. It features a romantic gazebo beside the lake, romantic gardens and a huge banquet room overlooking the main garden, fountain and lake. The Lakeview Center, a full-service complex, can fulfill wedding dreams from simple to elegant to simply elegant and Lily Creek Lodge makes a romantic venue against the dramatic mountain backdrop.Community and Sourthern Bank has a great community room for all occasions.
