Jeff and Susan have the most BEAUTIFUL wedding venue in all of GA. After finding Cold Creek Creek, we fell in love with the venue, but mostly we loved Jeff and Susan. They are the sweetest couple and make you feel like family. Although they host many weddings a year. It did not feel like we were just another wedding. It truly felt like we were the only wedding that they had all year. They had our wedding perfect right down the very detail. They made sure to accommodate every request and even allowed us to postpone our ceremony to be able to avoid the rain to still have our outdoor wedding. Wedding planning was tough for us working full time, not living close by and doing the planning on our own. Jeff and Susan ensured that we had an easy way of choosing our vendors by hosting a vendor meeting about every 3 months where you had the opportunity to talk with, see, and sample their work right there at the wedding venue. Talk about killing 10 birds with one stone! Choosing Cold Cre... Read moreek as your wedding venue is a no brainer! This will be the best decision about your wedding that you can make! We love you Jeff an Susan! Sending ALL of our love, Melissa and Shaun

Everything was beautiful, just what I asked for, and such an EASY day. All I had to do was show up. Reclally recommend them. Jeff, Susan and Carla were so great.

Our event at Cold Creek Farm was unbelievable! The staff was extremely helpful and attentive to all of our needs. We would recommend them to anyone!

I am confused how you could rate this wedding venue anything other than 5.0 across the board. Our wedding in February was absolutely flawless. I could not have dreamed a more beautiful or perfectly executed day. There is not one thing I would change. From the time we toured the venue, Jeff and Susan did everything they could to make our wedding experience easy and amazing. You cannot beat the convenience of the wedding package being all inclusive. They let us tweak the package to eliminate some of the things that we didn’t need and replace them with things that were important to us. No other venues we spoke with accommodated us this way. Also, they made my moody winter wedding dream a complete reality. The decorations were flawless and so personally crafted to our style. I cannot say enough great things about our wedding and highly recommend booking your wedding at Cold Creek Farm... you will not regret it!

We actually came across Cold Creek Farm through an AD on facebook. We had a list of venues to tour but Cold Creek was definitely at the top of our list. Other venues we good, but Cold Creek was everything we were looking for in a wedding venue and more. Their all-inclusive packages are truly all-inclusive and at a price we couldn't beat. I'm a true believer in "you get what you pay for" and Cold Creek far exceeded that. Cold Creek made wedding planning so easy and so seamless. Our Coordinator - Lauren - was on top of everything and we couldn't have asked for a better day-of coordinator, she was amazing! Carla was always so quick to answer any questions I had and was always so helpful. Jeff and Susan opened up their home to us (as they do to all their guests) and allowed us to have a perfect fairy tale wedding. Carla was always so quick to answer any questions I had and was always so helpful. Thanks for hosting our perfect --FOREVER-- Cold Creek!!!, Matthew and Calyn Bell Est. Nove...

We had our wedding at Cold Creek this past weekend. We had the most amazing experience! Everything was perfect and we would not have changed a single thing! Jeff and Susan, the owners, were there the day of the event to ensure everything went smoothly. They both came upstairs to spend time with me moments before walking down the aisle. They talked to me and eased my jitters. I would highly recommend Cold Creek as a wedding venue; you get amazing, stress-free service and quality for a great price!

Cold Creek Farm was just beautiful. Everything was fantastic from start to finish. They were incredibly accommodating and responsive to questions, ideas, and needs. We would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone. Two things to note that would be helpful to know ahead of time if you are going to use them. The first is that they put out a tip jar for the bartenders. If you would prefer to negotiate a gratuity for the bar and take care of it yourself, you need to do it ahead of time with your wedding co-ordinator (ours was Jessica Bencomo and we LOVE her). We did not want a tip jar out as most of our guests would not have had appropriate cash on them in formal attire, and we didn't want our guests, who had mostly traveled and already spent a lot to be there, to be burdened by further expense, but because we weren't aware of it ahead of time, there was a lot of miscommunication as to how to deal with it. The second was that in the summer it was very hot in the venue. The... Read morere is an AC option, but to use it all barn windows/doors must be closed. We wanted the open feel, so we opted for no AC, but it was very hot. Overall, we had an amazing experience, start to finish, with CCF. It was truly a beautiful, special spot, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a special wedding. Oh, also, it POURED about 30 minutes before the ceremony was going to start. EVERYTHING had to be moved inside (chairs, flowers, etc.) Immediately when the rain stopped, their staff was outside re-setting, drying chairs, making it as if the rain never happened. It was amazing, and we were very grateful to them.

If you don't get married here, you're missing out! My husband and I are both in graduate school and clinicals 65+ hours per week, so planning a wedding through all the madness was really intimidating to us. Then, we found Cold Creek. They told us that they offer a variety of vendors that we can sample and select through routine vendor meetings. We went to two vendor meetings, met with all the vendors, and easily decided who would be great for our wedding. We also chose our decorations, etc. all through CCF. And that was it - our wedding was planned! They completely took the stress off our shoulders, but we still felt the excitement of planning our wedding. We scheduled our wedding during our two week summer break from school, so our wedding was just a few days after our final exams. Needless to say, as the wedding approached, I was overwhelmed. I spoke with Carla and Jeff several times and they were extremely patient with me, as I was forgetting to email them back, and wasn't exactly p... Read moreutting much effort into answering their questions. The day before the wedding, I went by and dropped off the decorations I wanted included in the wedding but didn't have time to stay and speak with them about where I wanted everything, etc. On my wedding day, I was stressed. I felt like everything would just be thrown together and it wouldn't look the way I wanted because I just didn't have the time or energy to put into it - I was literally in tears, but when I walked into the barn to find Kaye, the decorator, she was working like an amazing little wedding elf. EVERYTHING was where I wanted it! I didn't even give her any real instructions, but it was beautiful. Then I was crying for that reason! I couldn't believe it and I still don't know how she did it. I instantly relaxed, and was able to enjoy our day. Our guests are still raving about the wedding. It was the best day of my life and I wish I could do it over and over again! I can't recommend them enough. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

An absolutely beautiful wedding, this venue has it all! They help with everything the whole way through. They make planning easy, and answer any and all questions almost immediately no matter the time of day or night. They had a back up plan for inclemate weather, a special location for an optional bar, a ceremony space that is truly exceptional, decor for different themes and styles, a room for the groom, and a room for the bride to get ready! If you don't like something, they will change it, and they will surprise you with exactly what you need! They have all the contacts, and they have everything you need, along with an beauty of a wedding venue! ~ The Whites ~

I absolutely loved Cold Creek Farm. Jeff and Susan are so sweet and accommodating. From the moment we walked in to tour the venue they were committed to helping us realize our vision for our perfect wedding. We booked the venue a year and a half before the wedding and in that time, the venue transformed so much -- by the time we had our wedding on October 8, they had built a brand new arbor, stairs for the bride to walk down, and even created a new doorway for guests to go in and out with ease. They were already talking landscaping changes during our rehearsal -- I just know they are going to keep improving. They took care of EVERYTHING -- all I had to do was drop off whatever custom decor we wanted (for us, it was basically chalkboard signs, some special items for a grandparents' tribute table, and stuff to set up the Photo Booth) and they did ALL the decorating and taking down. I loved that they allowed us to customize the all-inclusive package without penalizing us. We were able to ... Read morehave our own officiant, our own band and skip the DJ. All of the vendors they included in their package were AMAZING. Gail of Dawsonville Florist did a wonderful job, Christina Kelley was the coolest photographer (speaking AS a very picky photographer) and Sara of Cakehouse on Main did something magical with our cakes and cupcakes. Be aware that you must book *well in advance* for fall weddings (we booked ours April 2015 for an October 2016 wedding and they were already booked for 2 Saturdays in October). The other thing to know is that you will need to have everything cleared out and all cars picked up the morning after the wedding, which was challenging for us. All in all, it was the best deal we could find for a Georgia mountain wedding in autumn – but it didn't feel cheap in the very least. There were no hidden charges and they are very flexible with your time table to pay them (aside from the 30-day deadline, which is reasonable). Would absolutely recommend!

The venue is absolutely beautiful and Jeff, Susan and their entire team were so easy to work with. I highly recommend them! I told someone this morning that you know that you picked the right venue when every person there has changed their profile pic to be one from the wedding!

I had an unexpected death in my family 3 weeks before my wedding and had to make some last minute changes. The owners went above and beyond to accommodate us. The owner Susan was great to work with and Jules was amazing the day of.

I would love to give Cold Creek Farm a high rating, but because of the problems we encountered with one of the owners, I cannot. The venue is beautiful and our daughter's December, Christmas-themed wedding was gorgeous and magical. Luckily none of our guests were aware of the issues behind the scenes. Communication was definitely lacking. We booked the Farm almost a year in advance and Jeff was very informative and friendly. However, his job is solely to book events and accept money. When I began contacting vendors 5-6 months in advance to discuss wedding plans, I was told "it's too early". Apparently they don't speak with you until a month before the wedding. Having hosted three previous weddings, this was surprising. When my daughter asked (several times) to see the venue again for placement of our decor and accessories, she was told she could only come to the vendor open house. This would be very difficult with hundreds of other guests there at the same time. This was also... Read more when we were expected to discuss plans with the vendors! Basically everything is done over the phone. On the day of the wedding there were numerous issues. After the wedding when I raised these issues with Susan, she took no responsibility and offered no apology. She tried to shift the blame to us or her vendors, claiming she had nothing to do with the vendors. These are the vendors who are contracted through Cold Creek. When one is paying tens of thousands of dollars for a wedding, it is expected that things would be done correctly. If things go wrong, the venue should take responsibility. The bouquets were beautiful, but one was missing. The desserts were delicious, but the cake was not as discussed (it had been discussed 3x before the wedding, including pictures). The food was outstanding, but I was approached during the reception and asked if I had brought containers for leftovers (would a mother of the bride be expected to bring containers to the wedding?). The decorations looked great, but the centerpieces were not set up as discussed and were literally thrown into boxes at break-down following the wedding (and one item was broken). I had a detailed, itemized list on every box, which matched the list of the coordinator. It appears our photographer did a great job, as evidenced by the proofs, however 8-12 weeks is an extremely long time to wait for pictures. Our officiant, Terry, was fantastic, as was our DJ. The employees were helpful and friendly (despite the issue with the centerpieces and break-down) and our coordinator, Kaitlin, was the best (she was our second, as the first never showed up for our meeting). Their publicized "all-inclusive" rates need to be clarified. Each of the vendors has different ad-ons, which need to be reviewed prior to booking. During the few discussions we had, Susan was cold, even to the point of being rude. She was even more rude when I brought up the issues we had, rather than take responsibility or apologize. Think twice before booking this venue! You may pay a little more elsewhere, but at least you will know what you're getting!

I can't say that Cold Creek Farm is not a nice place, it is - as a matter of fact, it's a fantastic place. All I can say is to be careful with who you are dealing with; no matter how trusting they come off to be. No one ever plans a wedding with the intention of cancelling the event - I certainly didn't - and I certainly didn't expect these "trusting" people to try to take advantage of me either but that's exactly what they are trying to do. I'm a single mom and I'm a disabled veteran. When I say I'm a single mom, I don't mean that my daughter's father was in her life on weekends and sent child support every month - I mean, she never met him and her entire means of support was me (and I didn't get help from the state either, I worked). And when I say disabled veteran, I am not referring to someone who did one enlistment and got a disability rating from the VA after a 2 or 3 year contract.......I was medically retired from active duty as a result of a service connected disability. So w... Read morehen my daughter was a teenager, she never got the big sweet 16 birthday party most girls dream of or the big fancy prom, but when she got engaged she asked for her fairy tale wedding and after shopping around chose Cold Creek Farm as her venue. During our tour of the venue, there was never a discussion of "if the wedding cancels" and there was never a contract that was ever signed. The only thing I ever got in writing from this venue was a copy of the amenities that were provided in the package that we chose and the amount of the deposit that they accepted on that day. So, we went there on Feb 10, 2018 and secured the wedding date for March 23, 2019. On Feb 10, 2018, they accepted a deposit in the amount of $1000 cash and I informed them that I would bring in a little more when I got my income tax return. I asked if I could make monthly payments to them because I am a single mom and a disabled vet and monthly payments would be easier for me to manage than a lump sum at the end and Jeff (the owner) said that would be fine. My income tax return wasn't quite as much as I thought it was going to be so I called up a loan company and secured a cash loan. As soon as the loan was deposited into my account, I hand delivered a check made out to Jeff (per his request) in the amount of $11,375 which he cashed in record time. That payment along with the cash deposit, left me with a balance of $3000 to pay 60 days before the wedding. This amount was manageable and I didn’t have to make monthly payments. Unfortunately, on Nov 14, 2018 (late in the evening) it was brought to my attention that the groom called off the wedding. I immediately contacted Jeff on Nov 15, 2018 (in the morning) and informed him that the wedding had been cancelled. It was at this point; he sent me a form to sign where he referred to a non-existent contract and he first mentioned that he would hold on to the deposit amount paid until he rebooks. I signed the form, struck out the words "per our contract" since there was no contract, had the form notarized and mailed it, as per his request. I asked several times when the remaining money would be refunded and never got a response until I told him he had 10 days to pay or I would file a lawsuit - that was on Jan 9, 2019. He offered an excuse, was very cocky in his email and still did not provide a date as to when he intended to pay. So after 10 or so days, I filed a lawsuit to get my money back. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and he ignored them until they closed the case. And then last week on Feb 14, 2019 he offers a reply to BBB and says he can't say anything more, per his attorney's request. I'd like for his attorney to reach out to me, better yet, to the local news station I'm going to contact and justify the actions of this business. How can you justify holding thousands of dollars for services not rendered from not only a single mother, but a service connected disabled veteran when you make thousands of dollars every weekend? Should you choose to select this place for your wedding venue, don’t hand over ANY monies unless you have a detailed contract that provides clear and specific information regarding refunds—to include a timeframe to expect the refund. His business practices are not only disingenuous, they are unethical.
