Big Canoe was the perfect choice for our wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and everything we dreamed of. Amanda was amazing and helped make everything happen for us. The staff was so friendly and helpful on the day of. The food was amazing and all our guests were raving about it. We had our ceremony and reception at the canoe lodge. It was the most beautiful setting and so many great places for pictures. We loved our wedding and we’re so happy we chose Big Canoe!

Over a year ago I came across the Chimneys and noticed that there were no recent reviews. This made me a little nervous but I still made an appointment to go and take a look. This place is truly magical! My husband and I got married here this April during the peak of Cherry blossom season. The mountains provide an amazing back drop. The venue feels homey and the staff are truly amazing. We had a thunderstorm the day of the wedding and Kyle worked with us till the last minute to make sure our day was perfect! Even the weather jumped on board for a few hours for pictures and the ceremony. Words can not describe how beautiful this place is. If you are looking for a mountain retreat, where all your friends and family can have a great, relaxing time, Big Canoe is where you need to go! Kyle and her team really are rock stars!

Gerard and his team were absolutely AMAZING! From beginning to end, Gerard and his team met every one of our requests, were excellent to work with, patient, kind, and very professional. We had our Sales Meeting in one of the conference rooms which had a GORGEOUS view! Gerard, Ms. Dot, and Jonathan always made sure that we had everything that we needed. The service and food that was provided was so amazing, that we booked our Operations Meeting trip with them the next month. We cannot wait to go back next year!

I had my wedding reception at Big Canoe Clubhouse. Working with Gerard made the experience and stress of planning a wedding so much easier. He was there every step of the way and really worked well with us to help us in any way. The food was amazing! My guests are still talking about it. Gerard and his team did everything- set up, clean up, decorations, food, & even flowers!! Big Canoe is beautiful and was the best place for my wedding! HIGHLY recommend!

Gerrard Monte was a delight to work with. He was very professional as well as very personal helping us with everything. Gerrard did our Bridesmaid Luncheon and is was beautiful. The food was amazing! Be sure to try the Gerrard Salad ♥

My husband and I got married here a week and a half ago and it was perfect! All of our guests had great things to say. Here are a few things you should know... it’s a destination wedding and there isn’t much around the big canoe community (no nearby hotels) but there are plenty of cabins to rent and you can drive in a ways from Atlanta the day of, no problem. There is also lots to do in the community. The reception place is not one big room where you can see everyone and everything at once. It’s a few good sized rooms that open up to each other. It’s beautiful, homey, and unique and wasn’t at all a problem for us. We did a lot of our activities and dancing outside anyway! It’s well priced compared to a lot of other places I toured. Also, your pictures will be beautiful. The mountains are a stunning backdrop. Lastly, I had a good experience with the staff and the food was amazing! You have to use them for the catering but that’s definitely a win!

I have never been so impressed with someone as I have Gerrard Monte. He was phenomenal!!! The staff, the food, and the room were exceptional. Gerrard is excellent with providing The Best of the Best end much attention to detail. He made my wedding rehearsal dinner memorable!!

Hector did a phenomenal job stepping in 2 weeks before our big day & it turned out AMAZING!!!! The food was 10 X’s better than we could have imagined!!! Jenna was super helpful & helped make our day very successful!! The venue speaks for itself... just a beautiful location!!! We have lots of great memories to take with us for a long while!!! Thank you!!!

The Chimneys at Big Canoe is an amazing venue, and they have a great all-inclusive wedding package. The venue strictly use Talk of the Town Catering, but let me just tell you the food is amazing and well priced. The venue also uses Winey Blonde Events for the day of coordinator. Planning my wedding at the Chimneys at Big Canoe was the best experience. Everyone was super friendly and very responsive and I couldn't of asked for a better team for my wedding. I couldn't of asked for a more perfect wedding day!

This vendor is EXTREMELY easy to book! What's more, they have great wedding packages! I'm loving the friendly and accessible service.

I cannot say enough amazing things about The Chimney's! It was absolutely our dream wedding venue. My fiancé and I toured Big Canoe during for a bridal expo in January 2019. We fell in love with the The Chimney's location because of it's beautiful intimate setting overlooking the lake and under the trees. Most of our wedding guests and family would be coming from out of town so we loved the option to book cabins in Big Canoe and making it a relaxing destination wedding. Our wedding took place in early September, we couldn't have asked for better weather under the gorgeous canopy of trees and a light breeze blowing (we paid extra for the breeze 😉). The staff were all so sweet and accommodating making sure that the bride and groom actually ate during the wedding. We hired Talk of the Town and selected the BBQ option. I had several people rave about how wonderful the food was - especially the Mac and Cheese!! The passed Hors d'oeuvre during the cocktail hour were also a huge hit. We ... Read moredidn't have any leftovers whatsoever because people kept going back for seconds and thirds. Kristen was our main point of contact at the Chimney's and she helped every step of the way in making sure every detail was taken care of. Overall our experience with both the Talk of the Town and Chimney's was such a delight, it was my dream wedding and they helped make it happen.

The Big Canoe Chapel and Clubhouse was an absolute stunning backdrop for our daughter and son-in-laws wedding. Despite the rain, the mountain setting and lake view were pristine. The clubhouse was beautifully decorated by Emily and team using all the items that we provided mixed in with the clubhouse setting. A majority of the guests stayed in housing at Big Canoe which made the weekend very special having family and friend together in this beautiful mountain community. Over the course of a year, Emily Coppedge, Banquet and Special Events Coordinator at Big Canoe, did a fantastic job stepping us through the wedding process. In addition, Nona and Glenda Mitchell from the Big Canoe Chapel held several walk throughs at the chapel at our request to discuss the wedding ceremony. Everyone was so accommodating to answer all of our questions and to discuss the different options for the special day. With no hesitation, we recommend Big Canoe as a perfect destination setting for a weddi... Read moreng.

Emily and the Big Canoe staff were incredible in helping to make our big day a huge success!! Emily was so great at making all of my visions of a Big Canoe wedding become a reality. She is very responsive, very nice, and super accommodating. We had our ceremony at the Big Canoe Chapel, and getting the guests over to the reception at the Clubhouse was very easy with the transportation van we used with Kevin White. I had always dreamed of having my wedding at Big Canoe, and I am so happy that it finally came true. It was perfect and we really did have the best weekend!!

When I stumbled across The Chimneys at Big Canoe in my online wedding venue search, I was intrigued. Pictures online made it look like a dreamy rustic venue tucked away in North Georgia. When I visited the venue, I fell in love. The online pictures did not do it justice. We quickly decided to go with The Chimneys at Big Canoe as our venue and I do not regret it. I enjoyed working first with Kyle and later with Kristen when Kyle was promoted. Kristen worked seamlessly with my wedding planner to ensure everything went smoothly on my wedding day. The outdoor ceremony area was beautifully shaded with green tree cover and the indoor reception space was glowing with a wonderful ambience thanks to the warm tones In the room and candles I brought in. Back outside, the twinkle lights set the perfect stage for dancing the night away. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding! I think the pictures speak for themselves!
