The Toccoa House Properties Difference

As a wedding venue in Blue Ridge for couples in Lauderhill, FL, Toccoa House Properties is simply magical, where the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains meets the country-chic vibes of modern Appalachia. It has a distinctly custom-built feel, and for good reason. Nearly every inch of the property - from the luxurious cabins within walking distance of one another to the heated pool and more - was purpose-built for exceptional events, like weddings in Blue Ridge.

It all started when Oregonian Greg Spencer initially discovered the Blue Ridge area on a backpacking trip to the Cohutta Wilderness in the 1980s. A short time later, enamored of the area, Greg embarked on a land-purchasing mission that led him to 17 acres of undeveloped acreage. Amazed by the beauty of the Toccoa River and the inspiring views of the surrounding mountains, Greg wasted no time in securing what is now known as Toccoa House Properties.

Today, Toccoa House Properties exists as a one-of-a-kind, highly sought-after event space and wedding venue. As a family-owned and operated business, we take pride in putting on fairytale weddings for you and your guests. In fact, our unique location and commitment to personalized wedding services are what separate us from other wedding venues in North Georgia.

Simply put, we aren't afraid to go "above and beyond" for wedding clients. If you need assistance or advice, you can rest easy knowing that our team will answer your calls - not an automated answering machine or third-party service.

A Step-by-Step Guide for Choosing Your Wedding Venue in Blue Ridge for Couples in Lauderhill, FL

At the end of the day, we want your wedding to be the very best that it can be - which is why we're happy to provide some time-tested tips for selecting a location for your wedding.

step-one

Choose Your Style of Wedding

Some popular styles to consider may include:

  • Traditional
  • Whimsical

  • Rustic
  • Fantasy
 Wedding Packages Lauderhill, FL
step-two

Pick a Wedding Date and List of Wedding Venue Choices

What time of the year do you want to get married? Once you have an idea of a season, like fall or spring, come up with a list of potential of wedding venues in Blue Ridge, GA, like Toccoa House Properties.

Keep in mind the following:

  • Guest Count
  • Wedding Budget
  • Wedding Style
 Indoor Reception Areas Lauderhill, FL
step-three

Schedule a Tour

One of the most important steps involved in choosing a wedding venue is to tour the space. Don't be afraid to ask pertinent questions. If the venue manager seems like they have better things to do than answer your questions, look elsewhere.

Make sure you take into account:

  • Size of Wedding Venue
  • Ambiance of Wedding Venue
  • Layout of Wedding Venue
 Lauderhill, FL
step-four

Consider Services and Amenities

Once you narrow down your wedding venue choices, consider the amenities and services the venue offers. Be sure to weigh what they offer against your needs and budget to further narrow down your choices.

Consider services and amenities such as:

  • Lodging
  • Ceremony and Reception Space
  • Seating
  • Day-Of Coordinator
Wedding Venue Lauderhill, FL
step-five

Determine the Location of Your Wedding Venue

If you think your guests will hate a particular wedding venue location, why consider it in the first place? Choosing a destination - like Toccoa House Properties - that is within a short driving distance of grocery stores and restaurants is almost always better than a hard-to-access venue.

 Onsite Wedding Chapel Lauderhill, FL
step-six

Check Out Wedding Venue Reviews

Do yourself a favor and check out the wedding venue's Google reviews and reviews on other platforms. You can also ask for opinions from people you trust, like friends and family members. Don't be afraid to reach out directly to people who have used the wedding venue previously. A wedding venue in Blue Ridge for couples in Lauderhill, FL, should be excited to show you their online reviews. If you notice a disparaging review, try asking the owner of the wedding venue to explain their side of the story before writing them off completely.

 Walking Trails Lauderhill, FL
step-seven

Compare Wedding Venues and Choose

Try coming up with a list of pros and cons of each wedding venue that you're considering. Doing so can help you whittle your list down to one or two choices. Remember to trust your gut throughout this process. If you've come down to two choices, and something about one of the venues rubbed you the wrong way, it's probably for a reason.

Features to consider when choosing your wedding venue may include:

  • Location
  • Amenities
  • Price
  • Reviews
  • Tour
  • Lodging
  • Accessibility
  • Attractiveness of Wedding Venue
 Wedding Packages Lauderhill, FL
step-eight

Confirm and Plan

Once you've settled on a wedding venue, it's time to book! As most wedding venues will tell you, try booking your venue at least a year before your wedding is set to take place. Doing so will give you plenty of time to plan. If you need help preparing, don't be afraid to work with a professional wedding planner to make your life easier.

Some items to plan for may include:

  • DJs or Entertainment
  • Caterers
  • Decorations
  • Attractions
  • Bridal Showers
  • Bachelor Parties
  • Post-Wedding Parties

Turning 40 years old can be demanding to your body. That’s why I’m so dreading it! But not for Miami Carnival! This year, they’re greasing up those hips with some soca dance moves. Here’s our youthful baby face, Alex Miranda with more. Alex?

This moving and grooving weekend of fun welcome everybody, especially those who like to let a little bit loose!

Miami Carnival turns the big 4-0 this year!

John Beckford: “The big 4-0, yes it is. For the concert, there’s going to be at least, between DJs and artists, 40 live performances you’re going to get on stage. You’ve got the food court, 50 vendors in the food court offering you everything you can imagine from anyone of the islands. If you dream it, and you want to eat it, you can find it at Miami Carnival.”

As a gift, they got a whole park.

John Beckford: “Our best birthday present that we got this year so far is the support from the city of Lauderhill. So things will kick off in Lauderhill at the central Broward Park and then it leads into Panorama the following Friday, Oct. 11, steel band music, I’m sure you’ve heard of it. And then we roll into the official J’ouvert which is Saturday, Oct. 12. And then the big day is going to be Sunday, Oct. 13.”

Saturday’s J’ouvert is like a bag of chips. Once you pop, you just can’t stop.

Nigel Alfred, President of the South Florida Carnival Band Leader Association: “It’s an experience. Once you do it one time, you’re going to love it and you’re going to want to come back.”

Because it’s a chance to let loose and be messy!

Nigel Alfred: “Most of our bands have water tankers following them as well so all throughout the day you’re gonna get sprayed with water to keep you cool and of course, everybody gets to throw the paint, throw the powder, throw the mud. We’ve had a band that even did chocolate so you can bath yourself in chocolate for the entire day.”

With 23 bands participating from all across the United States, there will be a lot of moving.

Nigel Alfred: “In the Caribbean, we call a band is actually, well it’s equivalent to what you guys call a troop or a float in a traditional American parade. Our bands consist of trucks, 18-wheeler trucks, 35 feet with speakers from top to bottom blasting and playing music.”

And for those who can’t whine, just do this…

Nigel Alfred: “The music will take control, that’s the best thing I can say. Those that have experience will whine and twerk as they say here. For those that don’t just look at somebody and you’ll just follow. At the end of the day, you’re going to get it because nobody will be judging you, they’ll be encouraging you and helping you along the way.”

Tickets to this colorful event start at $30 and they offer free park and ride.
