Vezalay is a stunning mountain venue near Dahlonega, Georgia. Vezalay is a wonderfully unique setting for nearly any Wedding Ceremony, Reception, or Specialized Event, thanks to its spectacular mountain views, elegant architecture, and flexible pricing. Event Center - Indoor Receptions Our event space was created with maximum flexibility, natural light, and stunning views in mind. With exposed trusses, HVAC ducts, and tongue and groove ceilings, the design is a mix of industrial and rustic. The maximum capacity is 200 people, however for the most comfortable fit, we recommend no more than 180. Pavilion - Outdoor Ceremonies If the weather permits, this is without a doubt one of the most gorgeous spots for an outdoor wedding. Photographers will undoubtedly spend a significant amount of time in this area. Outdoor weddings can be really special, but you don't have to be concerned about the weather. Simply move the ceremony to our indoor Chapel if necessary. Wedding Chapel - Indoor Ceremonies It may be tough to decide whether to hold your ceremony in the Chapel or the Pavilion. The vistas from each will not disappoint you in any case. The Chapel is equipped with a wireless microphone and surround speakers, although the acoustics are so amazing that you might not need them. Bridal Cottage It's all about the bride and her entourage. A lovely spot to get ready for your big day and unwind. After everything is done, you might wish to have a bridal breakfast, lunch, or even stay the night. We also work with Events by Dezine who offers full service packages to our venue. This option is for couples who wish to use our venue, but have someone else provide all the planning and vendor services. If you already have your vendors selected and are just looking for a venue for your event, please contact us. More than likely we can accommodate you and host a very special event.
