Glen-Ella Springs Inn Wedding | Intimate North Georgia Venue

Patrick and Chong celebrated their love at Glen-Ella Springs Inn, one of North Georgia’s most charming wedding venues. Tucked away in Clarkesville, this historic inn offers a romantic garden, a rustic pavilion, and breathtaking mountain views. Their wedding day blended elegance, intimacy, and heartfelt family moments.

Why Glen-Ella Springs Inn is the Perfect Wedding Venue

Tucked away in Clarkesville, GA, Glen-Ella Springs Inn offers a storybook setting and historic charm. Couples love its:

• Romantic Gardens – Blooming flowers, mature trees, and winding stone paths surround the outdoor ceremony space. Patrick and Chong exchanged vows in the garden as a harpist played softly while their loved ones looked on.
• Rustic Pavilion – the reception pavilion provided a warm, welcoming space where guests enjoyed dinner, heartfelt toasts, and an evening of dancing.
• Mountain Views – the surrounding North Georgia mountains created the perfect backdrop for sunset portraits, capturing the soft glow of late-summer light.

For couples dreaming of a serene escape from the city, this venue offers both natural beauty and the cozy hospitality of an inn wedding.

Heartfelt Details That Made Their Day Unique

Patrick and Chong’s celebration was filled with meaningful touches that reflected their personalities and family ties:

• First Look in the Garden – their private first look was held near the memorial bench, honoring loved ones who were present in spirit.
• Family Connections – with only 43 guests, the wedding felt like a true gathering of family. Chong’s son, Eric, walked her down the aisle and then shared a special dance during the reception.
• Personalized Décor – guests admired the handcrafted table markers, dinner menus featuring Chong’s artwork, and thoughtful wedding favors. Even the coaster and chopstick details were beautifully photographed.
• Peachy Summer Palette – their color scheme, “Just Peachy,” gave a soft, elegant feel that tied everything together.

Reception Under the Pavilion

After the ceremony, guests gathered in the pavilion for an unforgettable reception. Meanwhile, from a surprise thank-you moment with family, to laughter during toasts, to their sparkler send-off at the end of the night, the atmosphere stayed full of warmth and celebration.

The couple cut into a Sugartopia cake, danced with loved ones, and enjoyed a lively evening with music by Club Rett. As the sun set over the mountains, we stepped away for golden-hour portraits that truly captured the romance of Glen-Ella Springs Inn.
