Before there was a wedding venue, a farm and a family - I baked. A lot. Back then, I actually had time to be "bored", and baking was my solution. My co-workers enjoyed it because I would often show up with cookies or other goodies. Christmas was the main event. I made buckeyes, molasses cookies, chocolate chip meringue cookies, cinnamon roasted almonds and s'more cookies. I'd bring in a huge platter to work and everyone would reach for their favorite. After Cale and I were married, s'more cookies became his favorite. Those have become our Christmas tradition cookie (Santa looks forward to them every year)! This year, I am sharing the recipe for our favorite cookie - hopefully it will become one of yours! S'more Cookie Recipe
Ingredients: 1 3/4 c flour 1 c graham cracker crumbs 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 c butter softened 3/4 c white sugar 3/4 c brown sugar 2 tsp vanilla 2 eggs 2 c mini chocolate chips 1 1/2 c mini marshmallows 3 regular Hershey bars, chopped In a stand mixer, combine butter and sugars and mix until fluffy. Mix in eggs and vanilla until combined. Add flour, graham cracker crumbs, salt and baking soda and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour. Preheat oven to 375. Take a tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball and drop onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 6 - 7 minutes. Remove from oven, push 2 - 3 marshmallows and pieces of Hershey bar into each cookie. Return to over to bake for and additional 2 - 3 minutes until golden brown and marshmallows are toasted. Cool on rack. Enjoy warm with a glass of cold milk! -Becky

Planning a wedding that's perfect for you and your fiancé takes a lot of time, money and stress! DIY might seem the answer to everything (especially if you spend too much time on Pinterest). Is it really the right answer for you, though? Here are our top list of DIY wedding planning categories and what you should or should not attempt on your own. Airbnb or Backyard Wedding The wedding venue can take up a large portion of your budget, and that might have you thinking a backyard wedding is a great way to save some money! Even better, find a gorgeous cabin or beach house and use that location! It may seem a less expensive option than a wedding venue, but is it really? Probably not - and here's why. That gorgeous, blank canvas space doesn't come with tables, chairs or linens - of course, you can always rent them. It also doesn't have a covered area large enough for you and your wedding guests in case of weather - so add a tent to the rental list. If it's hot or cold, that tent isn't going to offer much to help with that. You can rent portable AC or heat (which can be expensive) and do you have a place to plug them in? Speaking of plugging in, what about lighting? And electrical for the DJ? That perfect space (which may not be looking quite as perfect now), probably doesn't have enough parking for your 100+ guests. And, what about restrooms? Your house or Airbnb may have a few restrooms, but are they convenient for guests and do you have enough for all of your guests? You could always rent a portable restroom trailer - that rental list is getting pretty long now. Oh, and if you do rent all those items, who is setting them up and taking them down? Yep, add some hired staff to the list. A wedding venue will have these items covered for you and will probably come in much less than the rental list you just created. So, we're going to have to say No to DIY Venue. Wedding Meal The next largest portion of your budget is the food. Your guest count drives the overall cost and a delicious, catered meal for all of your guests can get expensive. Should this be an item you DIY? What are some options for DIY on the meal? If you know someone with a smoker and you are a fan of BBQ, you might consider that option. You might visit Costco and stock up on finger foods in the frozen food section - some just need to be defrosted to serve. But, again, there is more than just the food. Who will be setting up the food and making sure items stay filled? Do you have chafing dishes, sternos, large serving trays? What about ice, ice containers and drinks? Most importantly, who is in charge of making sure the food stays at the right temperature so no one gets sick? It takes a lot of work to make sure the meal is set and served well. It can be extremely stressful (just think about trying to prepare Thanksgiving dinner for 12 people!) There are lots of options for caterers to find a meal that fits your budget and is prepared and served professionally. We're going to put the wedding meal in the No category for DIY. Dessert Elaborate wedding cake, pies, donuts, mini dessert bar - there are so many options for dessert at your wedding. If you aren't set on a large, multi-tier wedding cake, a DIY option for dessert could be pretty simple. Pick up a few dozen of your favorite donuts and pile them on plates or stands. Choose a few favorite kinds of cookies, brownies, etc. from a local bakery and display on a table. We don't recommend trying to transport a multi-tier cake, but a few different small cakes from a bakery can be set as a cake bar. Keep the design simple to reduce issues with transport. We're voting Yes for DIY on dessert - there are a lot of options! Wedding Flowers Flowers often make up a big part of your wedding decor - and a big part of your budget. The bridal bouquet, bouquets for bridesmaids, boutonnieres for the guys, corsages and boutonnieres for family members, arbor decor, centerpieces - there is a long list of items for floral. Could you DIY the flowers? Possibly. It definitely takes design skills to pull the items together - not all of us have that talent! If you are just doing bouquets and centerpieces, you could pick them up from a florist and set them up at the venue. That could save on the setup cost if you have a good team of family and friends to help. What about silk flowers? Silk flowers that look as beautiful as real flowers are probably going to cost about the same. They don't die like real flowers, but do you need 8 bouquets and 20 centerpieces after your wedding? If you want to include flowers on the arbor, ceiling, etc. you are going to need someone who knows how to attach the flowers and stay within the guidelines the venue has for installation. (We all know that person in our life who can make anything stay with the right amount of screws and duct tape, but the venue probably doesn't allow that.) A professional florist brings much more than the flowers to your wedding. They have access to more types of flowers than what you can pick up at Costco or Trader Joe's. That makes it much easier to get the color and type of flowers you are dreaming of. Florists have the design skills. It's why they do it! The bouquets, centerpieces, etc. will be gorgeous. Florists also have access to lots of vases, centerpiece bowls, candles and more to put together gorgeous tablescapes. They bring the team to set everything up (while you enjoy time with your bridal party) and they come back to clean up the floral at the end of the night. If you are planning more than just simple bouquets or centerpieces, we recommend a NO to DIY for flowers. Wedding Decor Your wedding decor is often made up of more than just the flowers. Candles, lanterns, welcome table decor, favors, seating charts - there are lots of places to add personal touches to your wedding. The tables for your reception are usually the main focus for decor. Are there options for DIY decor? Absolutely. You can purchase lanterns, votives, candles and more to decorate your tables. Make sure you have a great team of friends and family to help set all the decor - it can take much longer than you think! Purchasing your own decor can give you more options to truly customize your decor - especially if you want to showcase some color. With access to Canva or Vistaprint, it's become much easier to create beautiful signage and seating charts for your wedding. Make sure you think through the details of who is setting up, where boxes will be stored during the wedding, who is cleaning up and that you have all the easels, candles, etc. you need. With a good plan, we vote Yes to DIY for decor. Music Do you need a DJ for your wedding? Maybe you have a friend who is good with music. Could you just put a playlist on your phone with a speaker? A DJ does a lot more than just play music for dancing. They provide the speakers and mics for the ceremony - not just for their music, but for the officiant and anyone else singing or speaking during the ceremony. They are experts at timing music as you walk down the aisle and have access to instrumental versions of tons of songs. That lets you customize your ceremony. They provide music throughout cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. They also help with announcements to keep the flow of the day moving. Because a DJ provides much more than just music, we vote NO to DIY music. Hopefully this list will get you started with your wedding planning and knowing what you want to DIY vs. hire a professional.
If you are looking for some great North Georgia wedding vendors, check out some of our favorites here. If you are searching for All-inclusive wedding venues in Georgia, you have probably found quite a few. And it may be hard to compare them to each other because we all do our packages just a little different. (We don't purposefully try to drive you crazy, I promise!) I can't speak to ALL the packages and how they compare, but I can tell you how our all-inclusive packages work. First, I want to share with you WHY we offer all-inclusive packages at our North Georgia venue. It all comes down to service. It's our role to serve you, your family and your guests on your wedding day. We do the "work" part of the day so you and your family can soak in as many of the moments as possible. Your mom doesn't need to be worrying about if the caterer has arrived - she should be watching you get your bridal portraits taken. Your bridesmaids shouldn't have to set out decor, they should enjoy some brunch snacks, chat with you while you get your hair and makeup done and just help keep you calm throughout the day. Also, the planning piece of it shouldn't be a second job you take on. Most of our couples are working, in school or both. Trying to find quality vendors for your North Georgia wedding, interview them, get budget pricing, add it up to see what your total is, scratch that total and try again for a more reasonable total - that's a LOT of work. We partner with vendors that have proven themselves through quality service and caring about the couples. We know their pricing and put it all together for you (find pricing here) so you know the budget you are working with from the beginning! We also check in with you to make sure you are getting meetings and tastings done on time, make sure you are getting the communication you need from vendors, etc. Photo by Kari Bendig Photography So what's included and how do we handle it? Access to the getting ready spaces begins at 9am on your wedding day. That allows you to have hair and makeup done at the venue and spend less time rushing between placed on your day. You have access to the space for pictures before ceremony which is great for bridal portraits, bridal party photos and any first look or first touch photos you want to do. 5 hours of event time. So, what does that mean? Basically from the time the ceremony starts until send off, you have 5 hours. We provide more staff on site during that time because there are more needs for the event and from guests. Typically, that gives you plenty of time for ceremony, cocktail hour and photos, dinner, cake and still have 1.5 - 2 hours of dancing and hanging out with your guests Tables, chairs, ceremony arbor and linens are all included and set up for you. We review a proposed table layout with you and provide the information you need to create a seating chart, if you wish. Photos by Kari Bendig Photography Catering Allowance We provide an allowance that works with several of our approved caterers. Each offers different menu options, different food choices for the budget and options on plates from china with chargers to high quality disposable. You can take a look at the caterers we work with on our vendors page (here) to get a feel for their menus. Cake Allowance We also include a cake allowance to use with one of our preferred cake vendors. They offer a range of options from seasonal flavors to tall statement cakes to bundt cakes. You can review their websites on our vendors page and then schedule a tasting. Cake is one of the vendors that you can choose to work with your own preferred baker. Just let us know and we will provide a credit! Photo by Kari Bendig Photography DJ The DJ will cover ceremony and reception. He will send a planning sheet for you to fill out all the songs you want for ceremony, the songs you want for dancing and any songs you DO NOT want to hear! He will also provide mics for the officiant and any other ceremony participant that needs a mic for readings, songs, etc. Coordinator The coordinator will have an initial consultation with you after you book to get information on your wedding vision and plan. They will help make sure you are connecting easily with the vendors, getting meetings and tastings done on time, create a timeline, manage rehearsal and the wedding day. Photo by Kari Bendig Photography Floral Allowance We provide a fairly substantial floral allowance in our packages. Flowers are expensive and are becoming hard to get. Some all-inclusive venues offer flowers for bridal party or offer a small allowance - but what about ceremony decor, reception table decor and family flowers? We would prefer to put an allowance in our packages and recommend vendors that can cover most or all of those items within the amount shown. If you are comparing other packages, ask them what their flowers included and what is a typical range for the remaining flowers. It could add $1,500 - $4,000 quickly. Venue Staff This is separate from the coordinators or catering staff. It may not seem like much, but it allows us to cover all the bases and provide an excellent service. We do the "fun" jobs of keeping bathrooms cleaned and stocked, wiping up any dance floor spills and just filling in where needed. In House Decor We have a room for you to choose items to add to your tables, easels, aisle decor and more. It can save you hundreds (or more) when you don't have to buy additional items. Plus it saves you from trying to figure out what to do with all of that after your wedding! You are welcome to bring in decor, custom signs, photos, etc. to personalize your day. We also include string lights and drapes throughout the space and outdoor games which are great for cocktail hour! Photos by Kari Bendig Photography So what is not included and why? Officiant Most people have someone in mind to officiate their wedding. It can be a pastor, a friend or family member. We do have some recommended officiants that our couples have enjoyed working with on our vendors page. Photographer Each photographer has their own style of how they take photos, which photos they capture, how they edit the photos for the final look, and they all have their own personality. It's important to find the right fit for your wedding so you love the photos and are comfortable with the photographer. You can find some of our favorites on the vendors page (here). Hopefully that helps you understand why we set up our all-inclusive packages the way we do. You can find pricing and details at the link here.
We would love to have you come tour and talk more about how we can serve you on your wedding day! -Becky If you are dreaming of a wedding filled with color, this North Georgia barn wedding venue is for you! Rhiannon and John's wedding was filled with fun details - colorful linens, tons of color in the flowers, greenery on the walls and a custom neon sign. The couple worked closely with Bethany from Winey Blonde Events to work out every detail. She helped them select vendors they needed, worked closely with our team for the perfect table layout and took care of all the details on wedding day. Pro Tip: Your North Georgia Barn Wedding venue will have some great tips on the best way to lay out the tables for your wedding and guest count. Bonus if they offer services to provide you with a layout to visualize your day! The tables were dressed with teal linens, greenery, floating candles and pops of color in the florals. The greenery backdrop behind the head table was the perfect setting for the custom neon sign and a great backdrop for photos. We love working with Flourish and Bloom at our North Georgia wedding venue. The team has a gorgeous design style and are wonderful people to work with. They created gorgeous bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids. The greenery for the ceremony backdrop was perfect! Pro Tip: Find a North Georgia Barn Wedding Venue that has great design style to start with. Included drapes, string lights and gardens will help you focus your floral budget in the areas you really want to shine! The menu from Prestige Catering included appetizers for the guests during cocktail hour. Servers passed wonton wrapped chicken seasoned with garlic, ginger, scallions and lime and baby cap mushrooms with sausage stuffing. The dinner buffet provided delicious choices of Chicken Bruschetta topped with mozzarella and diced tomatoes, filet medallions with a marsala sauce, Caesar salad, green beans almondine and mac n cheese (you've gotta have some comfort foods!).
After dinner, guests enjoyed the gorgeous Fall evening weather with dancing on the outside porch and hanging out at the fire pit. Pro Tip: A North Georgia Barn Wedding venue with both indoor and outdoor spaces gives you more options for you and your guests to enjoy the day! Compass Films and Photography captured the details and memories throughout the day. Thank you to all the amazing vendors! Venue: Pleasant Union Farm - North Georgia Barn Wedding Venue Planning/Coordination: Winey Blonde Events Catering: Prestige Catering Floral: Flourish and Bloom Photos and Videography: Compass Films and Photography North Georgia has some of the most beautiful views and gorgeous weather for outdoor weddings. At Pleasant Union Farm, you can make the most of your outdoor wedding with gorgeous gardens, a large covered porch, large doors that join the indoor reception space to the outside and loads of string lights! The barn wedding venue opens up to the outside with 4 large sets of sliding doors that lead to a large covered porch, lawn and gardens. Your guests can play yard games, sit around a cozy fire, dance under string lights or just enjoy the views – all in one easy to access area so no one misses out on any of the festivities! The garden and leaves change through the seasons to give you unique backdrops to choose from. Our large white arbor is the most popular set up. This ceremony space is in our courtyard behind the barn and surrounded by lush gardens. The large wooden barn doors provide a grand entrance framing the bride as she walks down the aisle. In the winter or early spring, before the space has greened up, many of our couples choose to use the barn doors as the ceremony backdrop. These are beautiful framed in greenery with floral or candle decorations along the aisle. ![]() Elicia Bryan Photography Meijia-Jones Photography You many bring a custom arbor or use our copper arbor to set up in other spots along the lawn. These areas provide views of the blueberry fields during ceremony and allow guests to spread out for larger parties. In the Fall, they also allow you to frame the most colorful leaves showing at the time of your wedding. Our large covered porch joins the main reception space with large glass doors and provides the perfect option if it rains. Your ceremony will be dry and still surrounded by outdoor views. Having a separate ceremony and reception space makes for an easy transition to cocktail hour. The venue was designed for outdoor weddings and offers many amenities. String lights line the covered porch and crisscross over the courtyard for sparkling evening views. Drapes are hung by the posts to provide a romantic backdrop. The lawn, gardens and blueberry fields are all easily accessible for you and your guests. A firepit with plenty of seating is perfect for cool fall evenings. The gardens are full of wildflowers, blooming shrubs and more that provide beautiful photo backdrops.

- Becky North Georgia shows beautiful changing seasons throughout the year – giving you plenty of options for a gorgeous and unique wedding. Pleasant Union Farm is an indoor outdoor Georgia wedding venue that allows you to enjoy the best the seasons offer. The indoor barn reception space has heat and air to keep your guests comfortable no matter what the Georgia weather brings. The reception space easily joins the outdoor space through 4 large sliding doors, a covered porch and surrounding lawn and garden space. Spring WeddingsSpring weather starts to warm up in mid-March with the first budding daffodils and early spring flowers. The evenings are often mild and make for perfect cocktail hour weather. Longer days allow for pictures after the ceremony while your guests relax on the covered porch, benches and play a few yard games. Photography Meijia-Jones Photography April starts to bring the greenery and even more blooms. Yes, April is known for rain, but we have a plan for ceremony on the covered porch which still allows you full use of the indoor outdoor venue if it does rain. We often catch a break which allows either the ceremony to happen on the lawn or allows pictures around the gardens. The cool weather is a bonus to enjoy the outdoor space and dance away the night! Capture Thirteen Photography May begins the transition from Spring to Summer. Early to mid-May is one of the best times weather wise. The gardens are lush, green and blooming for amazing pictures. The weather is warm during the day but cools off in the evening. Plus there is the expectation of Summer hanging in the air and everyone is ready to celebrate! Hillary Leah Photography Fall WeddingsFall is by far the most popular season for weddings that take full advantage of the indoor outdoor space at our Georgia venue. Cool evenings begin and that gorgeous Fall sun sets a golden glow to everything. September is the end of summer filled with warm days but cooler evenings. The gardens are blooming and the sunsets are spectacular. The indoor reception space keeps guests cool until the evening moves in and the outdoor porch space is perfect for dancing under string lights. Capture Thirteen Photography October is the most popular month by far! Drier weather means much less chance of a rainy wedding day. The days are still warm but evenings are cool and comfortable. The leaves begin to change around the farm and we have a mix of green and color throughout the month. This is where our indoor outdoor Georgia venue space shines with doors open to the evening, lights twinkling overhead and guests gathered around the fire pit. Dolce Amore Photography Fall finishes off in November before Thanksgiving. Your best bet for peak leaf color is the first weekend in November (but we can’t guarantee anything!) The leaves glow in the Fall light and give you ample backdrops for gorgeous photos. You will want to use the fire pit, cozy blankets or wraps in the evenings and the temperature does cool off a bit. We’d love to know what your favorite month for wedding is in the comments below!

- Becky We loved seeing this wedding come together after a long wait! Their wedding was originally scheduled for Fall of 2020, but they rescheduled to a Spring date in 2021 and it was perfect for them. The Spring North Georgia setting was gorgeous, and the guests were an amazing group.
The bride's spring bouquet was one for the books! Stems Atlanta filled it with color and delicate blooms reflecting the Spring setting. The daisy field was in full bloom and provided a gorgeous photo spot. The grassy field in front of the blueberries was another perfect spot for really sweet photos of the couple simply walking and spending time together. Prestige Catering provided a delicious meal and exceptional bar service. With a menu of Alaskan salmon and Chicken and Waffles - you can't go wrong! (The Chicken and Waffles from Prestige are one of our favorite wedding meals!) The bride and groom were so relaxed and were able to truly enjoy the day. They ended the night hanging out by the fire and roasting marshmallows - so sweet! Venue Pleasant Union Farm Photos Blush and Berry Photography Floral Stems Atlanta Coordination White Vine Weddings Catering Prestige Catering DJ MSA Entertainment When one of our favorite florists, Stems Atlanta, asked if they could plan a surprise proposal for one of their employees who we love to have at the venue - it was an immediate "Yes!" Heather mentioned setting up a picnic for them at the farm, and she was working through details. A couple days later, The Plaid Picnic Company reached out to me about their services (styled picnics for birthdays, dates, elopements - anything you can dream of!). It seemed like a great fit for what Heather was planning. The picnic was perfect! The Plaid Picnic Company styled the picnic around Ray and Jose's song "Honey Bee" by Blake Shelton. There were so many gorgeous details fro the honey bee plates, to the layered rugs, pillows and candles. When Ray arrived, their song was playing and she walked through an aisle of rose petals, candles and pictures of her and Jose. Ray thought she was coming to the venue for a styled shoot and was completely surprised!
