The Toccoa House Properties Difference

As a wedding venue in Blue Ridge for couples in Durham, NC, 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.

Keep in mind the following:

  • Guest Count
  • Wedding Budget
  • Wedding Style
Indoor Reception Areas Durham, NC
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
Durham, NC
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 Durham, NC
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 Durham, NC
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 Durham, NC, 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 Durham, NC
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 Durham, NC
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

Durham County School Board seeks help from county commissioners to tackle pay issues

Many people are wondering how much money Durham County leaders will allocate to Durham Public Schools given the district's problems paying employees.

The school board is looking for help from county commissioners to decide next year’s budget.

It is just the latest effort to solve a problem that's been affecting employees for months.

Q&A: What is going on with Durham Public Schools?

School board members met Thursday at the the old Durham County courthouse to meet with commissioners. It was their first joint meeting since November.

Durham County Budget Director Keith Lane said the county is in a difficult position.

"Our expenditure growth continues to be significant, but our revenue growth has slowed significantly, and that is a problem," Lane said.

As of Thursday, the proposed 2024-25 budget is already $33 million more than the current year, even without any increased funding for the district.

However, the county's revenue increased by only about $19 million, leaving the county in a deficit before even considering more money for schools.

Durham Public Schools Interim Superintendent Catty Moore presented preliminary budget priorities, which include the hot-button issue of pay raises for classified staff. She said the county budget is indicative of post-pandemic changes.

"It's not any surprise to me that we need to continue to balance what it takes to have an excellent public school system and excellent services in our community with what our available revenues are," Moore said.

Durham County commissioners called on the state to do more to fund public schools, calling the current situation unsustainable.

"We are spending more and more of the county budget, local funds, local taxpayer funding, for things that the state should be paying for," Durham County Commissioner Wendy Jacobs said.

""If the state is going to renege on its constitutional duty, the school district has nowhere else to turn but us," Durham County Commissioner Heidi Carter said. "We have to remember that."

Hundreds of employees protested in January over pay issues.

The school board on Thursday talked about its needs for next year’s budget. Pay for classified employees is at the top of that list.

DPS is still waiting on a recommendation for a salary schedule model.

Durham approves short-term fix for classified staff salaries through end of school year

Board Vice Chair Emily Chàvez said there is already a mandated 3% salary increase for classified staff next school year. That increase is coming from the state.

Now, the question is how much can the county add to that amount?

"I think the conversation is obviously critical and we want to continue to have trust between the board and the county commission," Chàvez said. "And we also want to see our salaries increase across the county."

Once the school district receives the salary schedule model, the superintendent will present a new budget. Moore is set to do that on April 11.

DURHAM – No. 6 Duke (14-3) scored 10 runs in the bottom half of the first inning and added eight more throughout the final seven innings of play to down Rider (2-10), 18-4 on Wednesday afternoon at Jack Coombs Field.

The Broncs threw the first punch once again on Wednesday, jumping out to a 4-0 lead before the Blue Devils even took the field to hit. Duke responded in the bottom half of the frame, stringing together multiple extra base hits and free bases to lead 10-4 after one frame.

In the bottom of the third, Alex Stone hit a two-run home run to right-center field to push Duke's lead to 12-4. The Blue Devils extended their lead with a run in the seventh and an early run in the eighth, before Andrew Yu hit a grand slam to left field to solidify the victory on Wednesday.

Junior David Boisvert tallied his first win in relief for Emus this afternoon, working two innings of one-hit baseball and striking out one. Josh Allen, Nick Conte and Edward Hart combined to toss the final four frames of the game, not allowing a hit and striking out five.
