Cold Creek Farm is a family-owned wedding venue nestled in the heart of North Georgia, lovingly operated by Jeff and Susan Buffington. Originally purchased in 2011 with the dream of building a working farm filled with animals, the property has since grown into something even more special. Through years of vision, dedication, and hard work, it has blossomed into one of North Georgia’s most beloved wedding venues. As guests arrive, they’re welcomed by horses and donkeys grazing peacefully in the front pasture beside the entrance, which proudly displays the farm’s name. Towering oaks, whispering pines, and rolling hills surround the barn, creating a breathtaking and timeless backdrop. Inside, the barn exudes warmth and rustic elegance, thoughtfully designed to bring each event to life. The ceremony space - once a riding ring - is now transformed with a charming white arbor and handcrafted pews, creating an enchanting setting where couples begin their forever.
