Old World Charm in the Romantic North Ga Mountains
INOLA at Blue Ridge is a wedding venue located only a mile from the five-resort town of Blue Ridge, GA. Nestled in a cozy forest of surpassing beauty, this estate and village is a faithful copy of Colonial Williamsburg’s premier buildings and includes a grand estate, formal grounds, and a number of lovely homes. The village features many grand buildings, including the Wythe House Mansion, with its lush, formal English gardens; the Wetherburn’s Tavern; and the Hopewell Chapel, which dates from the 1700s. Here, you and your guests can enjoy an experience like no other. Walk the tree-lined streets, marvel at the crystal-clear waters of Sugar Lake, and savor the beauty of mature orchards and an array of formal and informal gardens. You can even reserve the entire village for the weekend. INOLA offers a range of venue options. The historic Hopewell Chapel holds up to 90 guests. The Wetherburn's Tavern will accommodate more than 60 guests in the main banquet hall; use of the deck and other rooms affords additional space. The catering kitchen is ideal for engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, and receptions. Together, the Chapel and Tavern are a perfect choice for an intimate wedding. Tree-lined, pea-graveled England Street, “Main Street”, is the town’s principal thoroughfare and leads from the Chapel to the Tavern, making it perfect for a wedding processional. You and your beloved can enjoy a ride in a lovely white carriage as your party makes its way from the ceremony to the reception. The Peacock Cottage and the Wythe Mansion Grand Salon boast several fine get-ready rooms; additional dressing and relaxation space is available in Wetherburn's Tavern. England Street is also home to the always-popular Inola Cigar Bar. This historic replica barn and blacksmith’s shop is a perfect place to sip Bourbon, smoke a fine Cuban cigar, and catch your favorite team on the flat screen. Larger weddings can be hosted at the Wythe Estate, which can accommodate up to 250 guests and features a formal English garden and the 6,000-square-foot Orchard Pavilion. Intimate gardens and cozy cottages surround the mansion and grounds. You can stroll the gardens with the facility’s two brilliantly-colored peacocks, George and Liz. In the evening, you can watch the sun set over Sugar Lake. The photo opportunities really are endless. Two cottages are currently available for overnight guests. Vintner's Cottage sleeps up to nine guests. Peacock Cottage, which features brick flooring and two large fireplaces, can accommodate four or more guests.
