MOUNTAIN WEDDING WEEKENDS AT BISON VIEW LODGE
North Georgia's Premier Venue for Mountain Destination Weddings, Micro Weddings, & Elopments
Why invite 200 people you will never see again when you can spend three blissful days with the 30 to 60 people that you love the most at one of the most gorgeous mountain venues in the Southeastern United States.
At Bison View Lodge, our superpower is the intimate North Georgia Mountain style micro wedding weekend! People LOVE getting married here for the gorgeous outdoor spaces that feature a modern rustic, “lodgey”, mountain vibe. We can sleep up to 50 of your friends & family overnight on the property and can accommodate up to 75 on the day of your wedding.
If you’ve never heard the term “wedding weekend”, it basically means that the bride and groom want all of their wedding guests staying together for the entire weekend. It is kind of like a family/friends weekend getaway meets wedding ceremony. Some call it a mountain destination wedding, but the most common term is “micro wedding”.
Let us show you why a wedding weekend is far superior than a typical large wedding. Watch this quick video of what we do. Life is short, spend your time with those who matter most.
-
What is the maximum wedding size?Because of our residential septic systems, we have a hard cap at 50 people for overnight accommodations. The total guest list “day of wedding” has a cap of 75, including the wedding party. Most of our weddings are between 35-60 people.
-
What are your packages?We strive for simple, transparent pricing. We simply require a 3 night minimum stay, whether you use all of the nights or not. You can download our pricing worksheet below that shows everything we provide.
-
Where do people typically get married on property?The ceremony can take place indoors or out, but most of our wedding customers get married outdors. When indoors, the Helen Barn is the spot. If you’re marrying indoors, this space may need to be turned over into a reception space as we do not have a separate wedding chapel. There are several outdoor possibilities. The helipad in the middle of the property has forest, barn, and lodge views depending on seating placement. A covered pavilion/carport next to main lodge that seats up to 75 with views of Mount Yonah and the barn as a backdrop. Another popular location is in front of the lodge with views of Yonah as well.
-
Do you have required vendors?We have required food and beverage caterers if you choose to use catering. Our caterers have been vetted for their food, customer service, attention to detail, and their treatment of the lodge. They do a fantastic job for our guests, and they leave the property in amazing condition and know where everything is located.
-
Where do we hold the reception?The barn is where our guests hold their reception, either inside or out. It has seating and service for up to 75 people. It features a large kitchen, commercial smoker, and a very cool tiki bar. For those that want an outdoor reception, the area in front of the barn as well as the side porches of the barn make a very scenic spot.
-
Do you provide tables and chairs?We provide up to 75 white outdoor ceremony chairs, which you can see here. We also have 8 round 60″ tables and chairs as well as a rectangular table. We provide table linens in black or white. All of this is included in your price.
-
Can we shoot off fireworks on the property?Since we are next to the forest, and 3 miles up a gravel road, Bison View Lodge prohibits fireworks being discharged on site in order to lower the risk of fire. However, sparklers may be used with extreme caution.
