NORTH GEORGIA'S #1 WEDDING WEEKEND & ELOPEMENT VENUE

Bison View Lodge is the perfect micro wedding and elopement venue in North Georgia.

WEDDING WEEKEND & ELOPEMENT VENUE IN HELEN GEORGIA

Is it time to skip the huge wedding?  Why invite 200 people that you may never see again when you can spend three blissful days with the 40 to 50 people that you love the most! And the best part? It is much more economical and incredibly more meaningful. At Bison View Lodge, our superpower is the intimate wedding weekend!  People LOVE getting married here for the gorgeous outdoor spaces that feature a rustic, “lodgey”, mountain vibe. We can sleep up to 60 people to stay 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 reunion meets wedding. During the stay, a wedding takes place and everyone is there to celebrate and enjoy.

We hope you’ll explore our property and reach out if you have any questions. We would love to show you why a wedding weekend is far superior than a typical large wedding. 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 60 people who can stay on site overnight.  The total guest list "day of wedding" has a cap of 75 guests, including the bridal party. Most of our weddings are around 35-60 people. 

What are your packages?

We strive for simple pricing and therefore have just one package. We simply require a 3 night minimum stay, whether you use all of the nights or not.

An event fee of $1,500 is charged for guest counts from 60-75 people. When we go over 60, we have to rent event bathrooms in order to not overload our residential septic system. 

Where can the weddings take place?

They can take place indoors or out. When indoors, the Helen Barn is typically the spot. However, this is also a great reception area. So if you're marrying indoors, this space would have to be turned over into a reception space.

There are several outdoor possibilities. We have a helipad in the middle of the property and that has views of the forest and the barn. There is a covered pavilion that could seat up to 75 with views of Mount Yonah and the barn as a backdrop.

Do you have required vendors?

While we recommend our caterers and other vendors who know the property, you may choose your own at this time.  However, they must agree to leave no trace, which simply means, leave the property as you found it. 

Where can I hold the reception?

The barn is where most have their reception. It has seating and service for up to 60 people. It featues a large kitchen, smoker, and a very cool tiki bar. That said, there is plenty of room for outdoor seating under the barn porches, or the helipad. 

vendors. 

Do you provide chairs and tables for outdoor weddings? 

At this time, we do not provide chairs or decorations for the outdoor ceremony. You may rent them from local vendors. 

Are we allowed to shoot off fireworks on the property?

Since we are next to the forest, Bison View Lodge prohibits fireworks and guns from being discharged on site in order to lower the risk of fire. However, sparklers can be used carefully.
