Caterers plate the carefully selected foods you've chosen for everyone to enjoy. DJs set the mood for an unforgettable night of celebration and libation while guests, new and old, dance the night away.
And while you and your lifelong partner will undoubtedly be at the center of attention, your wedding venue is the hub for all the exciting activity around you.
The truth is that your wedding venue is an extension of the qualities that make you and your spouse special. It helps capture your uniqueness and is often paramount to an incredible wedding.

If you've been searching for a wedding venue that epitomizes beauty, relaxation, comfort, and convenience, look no further than Toccoa House Properties.
As a wedding venue in Blue Ridge for couples in Palm Coast, 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.

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.
When selecting a venue for your wedding, it's important to take into account the overall look and atmosphere you wish to achieve. Your chosen wedding style will determine which venues are most suitable for you and your partner.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Palm Coast, 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.
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.
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.
When it comes to tying the knot with your soon-to-be spouse, there's a lot on your plate to consider. Choosing the right wedding space can mean the difference between the wedding of your dreams and an experience you'd like to forget. With six fully-furnished cabins, 17 acres of natural beauty, an array of outdoor activities, a quarter mile of Toccoa River frontage, and much more, there's no better option than our wedding venue in Blue Ridge for couples in Palm Coast, FL- Toccoa House Properties.

In the wake of Hurricane Milton, the City of Palm Coast staff worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and recovery of our community. From October 5-11, the city experienced heavy rainfall, with the western areas receiving 13.53 inches, the northwest seeing 12.5 inches, and the southwest receiving a staggering 16.06 inches.

In the wake of Hurricane Milton, the City of Palm Coast staff worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and recovery of our community. From October 5-11, the city experienced heavy rainfall, with the western areas receiving 13.53 inches, the northwest seeing 12.5 inches, and the southwest receiving a staggering 16.06 inches. These intense rains pushed the city’s wastewater system to its limits, reaching a peak of 17 million gallons daily—far exceeding its 6.8 million gallons daily capacity.
Despite these challenges, City staff worked around the clock, from Sunday, October 6, through Sunday, October 13, to respond to the storm’s impact. Between October 6 and 9, 80,000 sandbags were distributed.
Mayor David Alfin expressed gratitude for the community’s resilience, stating, “We’re all in this together, and we’ll recover together. The response from our staff and residents has been nothing short of incredible.”
The City of Palm Coast Customer Service team handled nearly 4,000 calls and cases during this time. In addition, the City’s Communications team distributed 17 news releases, participated in 10 radio interviews, and interacted with over 14,500 residents on social media, ensuring residents received timely information and support.
Immediately after the storm, the Palm Coast Fire Department and Public Works crews swiftly took action, clearing downed trees and restoring traffic signals to ensure the safety and mobility of our community. At the same time, the Parks and Recreation Department launched cleanup efforts across parks and trails, inspecting trees and playgrounds to make sure our outdoor spaces are safe and ready for residents to enjoy again.
Additionally, the City’s Community Development Department completed the Preliminary Damage Assessment on Thursday and Friday. It was determined that 102 homes were affected in some way. The majority of these homes had minor cosmetic damage. Nineteen homes sustained minor but repairable, non-structural damage. Two homes suffered major damage, with 40-80% of the structure affected, primarily due to trees penetrating the structure. At this time, five homes have been reported to have water intrusion, and no injuries were reported among residents or city staff and no significant damage to any city facilities.
To report storm-related damage to your home's structure or water intrusion inside, visit PalmCoast.gov/Connect and submit a case under the Storm Damage icon. Please only report damage to the main structure of your home—this excludes sheds, screens, and fences. For water intrusion due to Hurricane Milton, only include water that has entered the living areas of your home, not garages, lanais, porches, or pool enclosures. Accurate reporting helps us better assess recovery needs.
On Friday, Public Works partnered with Florida Power & Light (FPL) to safely remove trees that had fallen on live power lines, ensuring roads were cleared for traffic and residents could move safely.
In addition, Old Kings Road experienced a significant failure on Thursday, October 10, due to erosion of a stormwater ditch just south of Oak Trails Boulevard. Stormwater crews immediately mobilized to assess and repair the damage, working tirelessly with the contractor throughout the weekend. Thanks to their swift and coordinated efforts, the road was fully restored and reopened to traffic on Monday, October 14.
On Saturday, the City’s Utility Department deployed 10 tank trucks to the Woodlands area to remove water from impassable roads. Additional vacuum trucks were also used to clear debris, with efforts continuing to restore safe conditions for all neighborhoods.
Acting City Manager Lauren Johnston praised the dedication of city staff, saying, “Our team has been working around the clock to ensure our city bounces back as quickly as possible. I couldn’t be prouder of the extraordinary efforts our staff have made to keep Palm Coast safe.”
The City will begin storm debris removal on October 16, 2024. Residents are encouraged to place storm debris in the right of way, separating vegetative and construction debris. Bagged debris will be picked up by the regular hauler, FCC, and should be separate from storm debris.

As of October 2024, the average solar panel system costs $2.15/W including installation in Palm Coast, FL. For a 5 kW installation, this comes out to about $10,743 before incentives, though prices range from $9,132 to $12,354.

As of October 2024, the average solar panel system costs $2.15/W including installation in Palm Coast, FL. For a 5 kW installation, this comes out to about $10,743 before incentives, though prices range from $9,132 to $12,354. After the federal tax credit, the average price drops by 30%.
You'll probably pay even less than what we show here. It doesn't include the federal ITC or Palm Coast, FL state incentives, which will lower this price by at least a few thousand dollars.
It may seem obvious but larger solar panel systems cost more money. We use cost per watt ($/W) so you can easily compare quotes, controlling for slight variations in system size.
While a 5 kW system will only cost you $10,743 in Palm Coast, FL, doubling the system size effectively doubles the price, so you'll pay about twice that for a 10 kW system. The higher the price tag, though, the more you'll get back as a credit towards your federal tax bill.
If you can't shell out $10,743 in cash to pay for solar, don't sweat it. You can choose to finance your system with a loan instead. Some companies even offer $0-down loans so you can start saving on day one if your loan payments are less than your current electric bills. Just keep in mind that your long-term savings will be lower with a loan due to interest rates.
The numbers we're showing are averages. The price you'll pay for solar depends on many factors unique to you and your home:
If you're looking for solar companies in FL, here are some popular suggestions:
Solar is a major purchase, but you can get the price tag to come down a bit by being an educated shopper. Taking advantage of incentives and rebates and shopping around for quotes can bring down your cost of solar in Palm Coast, FL.
As long as your federal tax bill is high enough, you can take advantage of the federal tax credit in Palm Coast, FL. This incentive allows you to apply 30% of your solar installation and equipment costs toward your federal tax bill. If the amount exceeds your tax bill, you can roll over the remaining credit to the following year. Many states also offer great local incentives and rebates.
Comparing multiple solar quotes can save you money through competition and transparency. Each additional quote you receive for solar will help you find the right solar panel system at the right price.
This is where EnergySage can help. With funding from the Department of Energy’s SunShot Prize, EnergySage opened the country’s first (and now the largest) marketplace for home solar panel installations. We gather custom solar quotes from local installers on your behalf and put them in an easy-to-compare format. When you compare quotes for solar panels on the EnergySage Marketplace, you can expect to see prices up to 20% lower than if you work with a single solar company.

Palm Coast, FL - The City of Palm Coast is actively recovering from Hurricane Milton, and Florida Power & Light is working to restore power. Here are today's updates:
Downed Power Lines: If you see downed powerlines, immediately contact Florida Power & Light (FPL) at 1-800-4-OUTAGE (1-800-468-8243) to report the hazard. Any downed powerlines should be considered live and dangerous.
Tree Removal:Crews from the Palm Coast Fire Department, Public Works, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, and Florida Power & Light are clearing downed trees from public roads. Some residential roads remain impassable due to downed trees and powerlines. Please avoid these areas. If a tree from a public right-of-way has damaged your private property, contact Customer Service at 386-986-2360 to report it.
Traffic Signals:If you encounter a non-working traffic light, treat the intersection as a four-way stop. Slow down, look both ways, and take turns with other drivers.
Trash Pickup:Regular trash pickup will resume on Friday, October 11. However, there will be no recycling collection on that day. Be sure to keep swales clear and do not include yard debris.
Debris Removal:We understand many residents are dealing with storm debris. The City is working with an emergency debris contractor to assess the damage. Please do not place debris near the road, as it could block the stormwater system, which will prevent water from flowing out of neighborhoods. We will notify residents when debris collection is scheduled.
When debris collection begins, please help by separating items at the curb into these categories:
Wastewater System:The City’s wastewater system is significantly stressed. Even if you have power, please limit water usage—avoid doing laundry, and limit flushing toilets and taking showers as much as possible.
If you have a PEP tank and power is restored, your alarm may go off. Silence it by pressing the reset button on the bottom of the control panel. If the alarm continues to sound, submit a case through Palm Coast Connect or call Customer Service at 386-986-2360 for maintenance. The City has tanker trucks in the field pumping down the sewer system, but if it reaches capacity, backups could occur. Please limit water use as much as possible.
City Facilities Reopening:All city facilities will remain closed through Sunday, October 13, to allow staff to focus on cleanup efforts. City Hall, the Palm Coast Community Center, and the Southern Recreation Center will reopen to the public on Monday, October 14, 2024.
Parks and Playgrounds:Palm Harbor Golf Club, the Palm Coast Aquatics Center, and all parks, trails, and playgrounds will remain closed until cleanup is completed.
Hiring Licensed Contractors:If you have property damage, ensure any contractor you hire is licensed. To ensure you find a licensed and reliable provider, you can use our Local Business Search tool at Local Business Search.
