  107 Kincaid Dr, Toccoa Falls, GA 30598, USA

  • Spaces for 200 Guests
  • 1 Outdoor
  • 1 Historic Space
  • 1 Waterfront

  Toccoa Falls College sits on a wooded North Georgia campus whose namesake feature — a 186-foot freefall waterfall — has made it one of the region's most distinctive settings for weddings and private celebrations. The falls take their name from the Cherokee word *Toccoah*, meaning beautiful, and the college has welcomed events on its grounds since its founding in 1907. The property offers two complementary spaces for ceremonies and receptions. The Falls itself provides an open-air backdrop for ceremonies of 10 to 200 guests, with electrical service available near the water for AV and sound equipment. Gate Cottage, located 100 yards from the Falls, is an indoor venue for up to 200 guests featuring a rock fireplace, chandeliers, and tables and chairs included with reservation — serving equally well as a standalone reception venue or as a weather contingency for outdoor ceremonies. Events at Toccoa Falls are catered exclusively by Toccoa Falls Culinary, and the campus maintains a drug-free, smoke-free, and alcohol-free environment. All wedding ceremonies are required to be Christian services officiated by an approved minister.

  Nina & Rafi

  661 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30312, USA

  Nina and Rafi is a neighborhood pizza business located on the Atlanta Beltline. Pizza and Italian-style pub meals are served, and a complete bar is available, including an extensive amaro collection. We have a huge patio with plenty of seats. We do not take bookings at this time. It is our policy to operate in a CASHLESS environment. We are a rustic Italian restaurant and pizzeria that also serves brunch. The Detroit-style pizza served here has developed a cult following, and the drinks served here are among the most inventive on the BeltLine. A rustic Italian diner atmosphere is created inside the restaurant with red-leather banquettes and an open kitchen, while black walls, industrial light fixtures, and damaged mirrors provide an element of modernity to the space. If you're traveling the BeltLine—22-mile Atlanta's analog to New York's High Line—not it's difficult to find Nina & Rafi Restaurant & Bar. Aside from the fact that its patio seating extends all the way to the sidewalk, the fragrance of its pizzas draws in more customers than any marketing effort could hope to achieve.
