Five Reasons To Get Married in Dahlonega Georgia:

Over the past ten years Dahlonega has emerged as one of the best places to get married in the USA.  Why?  Here are five reasons to get married in Dahlonega Georgia:  

 

  • Location.   Dahlonega is only one hour from downtown Atlanta.   This makes it easy for guests living in the Atlanta metro area to attend your wedding.  Plus, North Georgia is situated conveniently for couples who have family up north and in the south.   It is a halfway point that makes sense when planning a wedding for families living in different states.   And, don’t forget Atlanta Hartsfield International airport makes air travel easy.

Dahlonega Gold Museum

  • History.   Dahlonega is the location of the first major gold rush back in the mid-1800’s.  Gold was discovered in Dahlonega before Colorado, California and Alaska.  At one time there was even a US Mint in Dahlonega.   Our heritage has been preserved and celebrated throughout the community.   For example, our old courthouse is now operated as a Gold Museum by the Georgia Dept. Natural Resources.   Also, the town square has been preserved featuring a variety of restaurants, antique stores, craft stores, candymakers, and an old time general store.  

 

  • Lodging.  As a tourist driven economy Dahlonega features a wide variety of hotels, motels, B&Bs, campgrounds, cabins, and vacation rentals for visitors.   You can see a few of our favorites here:  Lodging

 

  • Attractions.  There are lots of things for your guests to do while attending your wedding weekend.  Achasta, a Jack Nicklaus designed course gives golfers a great experience in the mountains.  You also have waterfalls to visit, hiking, wine tours, horseback rides, tubing/canoeing, and don’t forget to pan for gold at the local mines.    See a complete list of things to do at our Chamber of Commerce website. 

 

  • Friendly People.  This is maybe the biggest reason to get married in Dahlonega.  Our entire community welcomes and appreciates visitor attending weddings in the area.   Almost, everyone is touched in way by the positive effect that the wedding business has on our local economy.  We did not invent southern hospitality, but we have perfected it!

Dahlonega Wedding Venue: 

We are about to do what you will never see from a Dahlonega Wedding Venue…    Like providing you with a list of some of our biggest competitors!    

 

Why are we doing this?  

 

Because we realize that getting married at Cavender Castle is not the right venue for everyone.  

 

Our business is built  upon couples looking for  either an Elopement, or an affordable D-I-Y wedding venue.       Most of our brides grew up dreaming of being a princess who gets married at a beautiful fairy-tale venue, like Cavender Castle.  

 

However, we are not a  good fit for couples looking for a Barn Wedding. Or for a Winery Wedding.    But we do understand that every wedding in Dahlonega indirectly benefits us.  All weddings help our local economy.  And, all Dahlonega weddings put us on the short list for couples thinking about their future wedding plans.  

Finally, Cavender Castle owner, Rev. Rick Durham is an ordained officiant who conducts ceremonies at most of these other Dahlonega Wedding venues.  And, our staff also provides photography,  and wedding planning services at many of the North Georgia Wedding Venues listed below.
