Testimonials

Update: We had our dream wedding this past Friday at Summit Farm! The roller coaster of emotions that occurred during the week leading up to the day can never really be described. We were all closely watching a hurricane that unexpectedly had us right in its path. If the team at Summit Farm was nervous with the storm, they did not convey it us. They were so reassuring and had back up plans already in place. Miraculously the weather cleared for our special day. We could not have asked for a better team to help us with our most favorite day. Thank you so much to Becca, Susan, Leta, Russell, and Sam.

Gorgeous venue! The mountain views are amazing. Could not ask for a better backdrop! Becca and her team have been fantastic from the beginning and I can’t wait to see everything come together for our wedding. They have been a dream to work with especially since they do EVERYTHING!

Summit Farm was such a beautiful place to get married. The team made wedding planning so easy for us. There were plenty of hotel options for guests to stay nearby. We had a little bit of rain on our wedding morning, but the team worked hard to be sure everything was dry and ready to go for the ceremony. The wedding day ran smoothly and everything was exactly how we wanted it. We are so grateful to have found such a great venue!

Not only is this venue absolutely beautiful, but the entire team including the owners create such a wonderful, stress free experience. They took care of everything and then some! They created a day that I could share with my husband and family and look back on for the rest of my life! We had a lot of changes thrown our way, and they made sure to accommodate everything and still create such a perfect day. I can’t thank them enough!

Summit Farm Weddings outdid themselves! From the moment we messaged them interested in their venue to the day of our wedding, they were a joy to work with. They are professional, enthusiastic, creative, and all around the best venue. Our experience working with them was truly amazing. From wedding planning to the send-off, we felt so loved by their staff. They truly went above and beyond for all of our wants and needs. The surpassed our expectations. So thankful we chose them!

Becca, Leta, Russell, and their team truly made our wedding so easy to plan! Everything was handled for us on their end, all we had to do was show up! They made the process such a breeze and it was a delight to get to work with them. They booked all of our vendors and communicated with them as well. Their property is STUNNING and the reception barn is gorgeous! 10/10 recommend to any couple looking to get married in GA!!

Summit Farms is the best of the best!! I can not recommend this venue enough from our first visit to our daughter’s wedding day everything was amazing!! Becca was always available with any questions or concerns we had. Mr. and Mrs. Hood were the most attentive and pleasant people we have had the pleasure of meeting. The day of our daughter’s wedding was magical and everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our daughters fairytale wedding come true!!!

My husband and I got married at Summit Farms on May 25, 2024. We had the absolute best wedding experience we could have ever imagined. From prepping with Becca all year long to the seeing all our dreams come true, there’s nothing more we could have asked for. Every single person working on our wedding day went above and beyond to make our day special. I cannot recommend Summit Farm’s enough. It’s a family owned business that truly cares about the bride and groom along with throwing a spectacular wedding. If I had to do it all over again, I’d still choose Summit Farm’s!!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Summit Farms was the first venue we chose to look at. We met with Becca on a Sunday and they even kept a wedding they held the night before in place so we could visually take in what they had to offer. Becca walked us not only through the venue, but the whole process. She felt like a friend by the time we left. She really already had us sold. We didn’t want to be those people who went with what we first saw so we looked at a couple other venues. But, they just did not feel right. We felt as if our wedding day would be more of a business transaction than an experience. From the moment we signed our contract, they were on it. It such a huge relief that they handle 99% of the planning, the 1% they do not handle, they have recommendations for, questionnaires, forms, etc. Their Pinterest page was a huge help in putting the items we were responsible for (decor / aesthetics) together. Becca was super responsive on any question I had and worked so well with us to provide the perfect day. What’s even better, is you get the whole Hood Family when you have book at Summit Farm. The Hood Family (Russell, Leta, Becca, and Sam) are the greatest people you will ever meet. They truly work so hard and strive to make your vision come to life and ensure the day of runs as smoothly as possible. We also booked “The Lewis House” for the night before and of. The cutest home and SO spacious. Ellijay had suffered a storm a few days prior to our wedding that cut the power out to the farm and the home. Leta had called me the Thursday before to inform the barn was fine and everything was on a generator but the house was out of power and that the candles I wanted for the tables were on back order and delayed shipping due to the storm as well. She mentioned she had placed another order on Amazon and was hoping they would come in on time. The rehearsal came around and this where we really got to see Kelly, the day of coordinator, shine. The sweetest lady and let me tell you, she is on it! The rehearsal and day of ran so smoothly. She also assisted our photographer through all the pictures, from picking up my dress, to holding my flowers. Ugh, she was perfect!

Going back to the power issue, Leta kept me posted on the power status of The Lewis House all throughout the day Friday. She finally received word that the power had came back on while we were at our rehearsal dinner and we were able to stay both nights. A HUGE convenience to just be a minute away from the venue.

The next morning, they were working on putting everything together. The flicker (black) candles had not come in yet (these were originally to come from the florist and were on back order and hence why Leta ordered some herself), and sweet Leta, had gone to Walmart the night before to get dark blue candles and painted them black herself. I could have cried! We were totally okay changing our plan and using what was available but Leta was NOT having it. She told me she understood my vision and wanted to ensure I had it. It is just one testament of the type of people the Hood’s are. We were SO lucky to have had them for our special day.

I feel like I could go on and on about how great our experience with Summit Farm was from beginning to end but I am unsure of how many characters these reviews allow LOL. If you are looking for wholesome people, who will literally put you above all things, this is the place. They are exceptional at what the do and I honestly sad our time with them has come to an end. You can not go wrong with Summit Farm. From the people, decorations, vendors, staff, the views, etc. it was all just so so great. We are forever grateful to have meet them and hope to maintain a relationship from afar. We are just so blessed and we could not have imagined our wedding any different. It was truly meant to be.

Such wonderful people who take care of everything for your wedding day! True professionals. If you want a beautiful wedding but don’t want the stress- this is the place! I got so many compliments on our day and I had to give credit where it is due- Kelly and Leta at Summit.

Summit Farms does it all! They will guide you and make you feel truly special. They support your vision for the day and make it happen! I could not recommend them more.

– Wedding Wire Review

My daughter had her wedding here and the owners, staff, and vendors recommended went above and beyond my expectations to make sure the wedding day went perfectly. The location is gorgeously located only a few miles from Ellijay, but it’s pure perfection. The Mountains form an excellent backdrop for your event and photos.

– Google review from April, Mother of the bride

The wedding day was perfect because of the staff.

Throughout the 15 months of planning Becca answered every question as soon as possible. She was also very supportive, helpful, and dedicated to my vision.

I love interior design and small touches to make the day feel even more special. The dream did a fantastic job bring my vision to life that day. There was nothing I would change! It was magical! If you love the home grown, Mountain View, fairytale vibe, then this is a must book vendor.

Harriet’s world was our photographer, I highly recommend she is actually the best photographer around!

KELLY WAS AMAZING!!!!!! Kelly, the day of coordinator was on top of the events and every little detail a bride would have never of thought of to schedule in. She was dedicated to make sure my husband and I were enjoying. She knew how to keep the bride calm but also move the event along. She was an angel and everyone even the guest loved her energy. I am so thankful for all her help and hard work. Well done Kelly!!!

The venue has SO many decor options, please check out their Pinterest it has everything and I was able to utilize their storefront to create a power point of the decor location. They were so easy going with all of the decor I wanted to bring as well!

Thank you summit farms for the most beautiful wedding day a bride and groom could ever wish for!!!
