I am Meagan's mom, she is in Utah on military assignment. Meagan and
David attended North Georgia College, so they were very familiar with
the Forrest facility from school events. They were always pleased with
the service and accommodations when the school used your place and knew
that they wanted to be married in the mountains.Everything was planned
wonderfully, and there was nothing we asked for that was not done. The
decorations, the food, the grounds were all beautiful.My most favorable
moment as a mother was Meagan and her father being driven in the horse
drawn carriage. There was a small little girl ( I did not know her)
but she said David looked like Prince Charming in his dress blue
uniform. When Meagan came up in the carriage, she said, breathlessly
"and there is Cinderella!" It was a magical day. The pictures were
gorgeous, there is nothing like a fall wedding in the North Georgia
mountains.

Our Wedding
My husband (then fiancee) Kevin and I both love the
mountains and being outdoors. We knew that we wanted an outdoor ceremony with
lots of trees and flowers but an indoor reception. At the time we lived in
Marietta,
Georgia and that
area didn't offer us many venues with our criteria that was within our budget.
I started looking online and found a nice little resort with every amenity ,
including horseback riding and spa services, called Forrest Hills. The first
thing I saw on their wedding page was a horse carriage and I was pretty much
sold. We also had a lot of people coming in from out of town and liked the idea
of the lodges being on the property. When we went to Forrest Hills to look
around and figure out the pricing of the packages we fell in love. It was
perfect! The location was perfect also because we had family coming from
Memphis and South Carolina and it was kind of a middle way
point for everyone.
The wedding party was very happy because they all had
their own cabins with hot tubs. Knowing that our guests enjoyed themselves on a
little "weekend getaway" really made us happy. Kathy, the wedding
coordinator , was a great help! I almost felt like I didn't even have to plan
anything. She took care of a lot and was very prepared and helpful. The food
was great also! Every guest I had said they hadn't had better food at a
wedding and that also made us extremely happy. Also, Michele did a great job
with my pictures!! We love to pull them out and show guests and friends. One
of the best things was that once our family and friends arrived we could all be
together all weekend because we were within walking distance of each other.
There were no worries of people being lost or not on time and that really cuts
down the stress level! Everything came together so perfectly that I would
recommend Forrest Hills to anyone. Even if you don't want your ceremony to be
outdoors there's a chapel and it is really cute also. It rained on our wedding
day so we had to try to beat the rain after the ceremony and didn't get a very
long carriage ride as newlyweds but still got a little one and we loved it. I
would have to say that the most memorable moment of the whole weekend was riding
with my dad in the carriage on the way to the ceremony. We cried and laughed
and it's a moment I will definitely treasure!

Kathy, I can't thank you enough for all the work you did
for our wedding. Everything was perfect. We had a wonderful time. The Inn was
perfect. All of the guests loved it. They were all impressed. The convenience
of it all was great. I also can't say enough for the references for other
services. Julie and I had our hair done at Salon 75 and they did a great job,
the DJ was exceptional as was the minister.

Shane and I just wanted to say thank you for everything. We were so happy with
everything that you and Forest Hills provided for our wedding. It really was our
dream wedding and we could not be happier with the way everything turned out.
You did an excellent job and we are happy to recommend you and Forest Hills to
anyone we know getting married!
