Spanning 120 breathtaking mountain acres, this expanse extends from the gentle bends of our creek beds, through a tranquil valley, up the safeguarding ridges to Moon Mountain's summit. This land, cherished by its steward and a diverse array of wildlife, mirrors years of devoted stewardship and mindful cultivation. Serpentine gravel paths border verdant pastures and thickets of hardwoods. Subterranean springs nourish a network of streams that cascade into two scenic ponds. Encircling and accentuating every manicured portion of the estate is over three miles of fencing, meticulously constructed from the durable and esteemed North Carolina Locust wood. While the land's natural splendor is undeniable, it has been further beautified by expert landscaping. A vast collection of perennials and annuals bring a burst of color and life to each season.
“Quickly after getting engaged, it only took one venue tour at the amazing Neverland Farms and 5 minutes with Suzy before we knew this was the place and the people for us - we confidently knew that we didn’t need to tour anywhere else. Suzy, Nora, and the Neverland team are some of the most genuine people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting"read more...

This serene haven is conveniently located near the quaint and historically rich towns of Dahlonega, Cleveland, and Helen, each brimming with their own unique attractions and offering a variety of quaint day trips just a stone's throw away.

These accommodations span from charming bed and breakfasts that offer a cozy and intimate setting to more opulent resorts that provide a touch of luxury, ensuring that guests have the opportunity to extend their joyous wedding celebrations at Neverland Farms into a leisurely and memorable weekend retreat.
The journey towards Neverland Farms is in itself an enchanting experience, captivating travelers at any time of the year. As you meander through the landscape, the route is adorned with the fragile splendor of dogwood blossoms that herald the arrival of spring, transitioning into the lush, verdant greenery of the summer months, and culminating in a spectacular display of autumnal hues that paint the countryside in vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. This picturesque drive sets a precedent for the enchanting and magical moments that lie in wait at Neverland Farms, promising an unforgettable experience that begins the moment you set off towards this magical destination.
At Neverland, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to highlight the natural beauty around us while ensuring comfort. The grand Wedding Barn and Dan’s Hall offer expansive sheltered spaces, merging the indoors with stunning landscape views. Our six restrooms, including one spacious enough for wheelchairs, baby-changing needs, and bridal attire, combine charm with full functionality. To ward off the chill during spring and fall, tall propane heaters warm Dan’s Hall, and open fires create an inviting ambiance when weather permits. Should it rain, both the ceremony and reception can seamlessly move to Dan’s Hall. Conveniently, the Wedding Barn and Dan’s Hall are centrally located on the Farm, a mere pleasant walk from each other. Parking is conveniently close yet discreetly placed to preserve the scenic beauty, ensuring a well-lit path that keeps the cars out of view.
The magic starts as the bride and her entourage arrive at the secluded Bridal Cabin nestled in the woods three hours before the ceremony, creating a serene space for relaxation and refreshments. As this intimate moment unfolds, a photographer captures the timeless tradition of the bride's preparation. Meanwhile, two hours before exchanging vows, the groom and his groomsmen, dressed to the nines, retreat to the Groom’s Loft in the Wedding Barn. Here, they can observe arriving guests and ease any pre-ceremony nerves with more spontaneous snapshots.
An hour before the ceremony, Neverland's staff welcomes guests, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and well-oriented in anticipation of the festivities. The Wedding Barn, set against the main garden, invites guests to wander, mingle with the horses, or simply enjoy the tranquil setting. As the ceremony approaches, guests take their seats near the Arbor, setting the stage for the grand procession, marked by melodious tunes and the bride's majestic arrival by carriage—a pinnacle of beauty and grandeur.
Following the vows, the newlyweds embark on a private carriage ride, savoring the first moments of their union. The wedding party and family members remain in the garden for the return of the couple and the ensuing golden-hour photo session, capturing the post-ceremony glow. Guests, meanwhile, are led along the creekstone path to Dan’s Hall for the reception, where our attentive staff ensures a seamless experience. The ambiance comes alive with music, appetizers, and drinks, culminating in the sunset arrival of the newlyweds.
Each Neverland reception, lasting four to five hours, is uniquely tailored to the couple, featuring a delectable buffet, the romantic candle-lit cake cutting on the dance floor, and heartfelt toasts from loved ones. The essence of the reception reflects the couple's combined spirits, fostering an atmosphere where unforgettable memories are born.

We had the utmost pleasure of hosting our wedding at Neverland Farms, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I had my first call with Suzy, to the first time we set foot on the property to the last dance of the evening, everything was simply perfect. It was more than perfect. It was a dream.
Venue and Atmosphere:
The venue itself is a hidden gem, nestled in the heart of Cleveland, GA. The natural beauty of the surroundings, with lush woods, a charming barn, and a serene pond, provided an exquisite backdrop for our special day. Whether you're going for an elegant, rustic, or modern wedding, this venue can transform to suit your vision.
Staff and Service:
The staff at Neverland Farms went above and beyond to make our day flawless. They were professional, attentive, and extremely accommodating, and genuine all amazing people. Suzy and Nora were a dream to work with, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. The service provided by the entire team was impeccable.. and honestly unheard of. There wasn’t a single thing they missed, a single thing that wasn’t absolutely perfect. At the end of the day the only thing that saddened me was that I wouldn’t be seeing any of these amazing people anytime soon. They genuinely felt like family and the closest of friends.
Catering and Food:
The catering at Neverland Farms is top-notch and I am a huge foodie who has spent years working in a kitchen. The menu options were diverse, and the food was not only delicious but beautifully presented. Many of our guests raved about the quality of the food, and the accommodating staff ensured that all dietary restrictions were well-handled. I can’t tell you how many people have asked for recipes. I am sure every single item on their menu selection is divine but the tomato bisque, smoked salmon and Mac n Cheese are sinful. If we didn’t have a barn full of guests I would have spent the entire evening just stuffing my face. After thought, I should have totally brought a doggie bag to sneak some snacks to take home ha!
Amenities and Facilities:
The venue offers a range of amenities and facilities that made our day even more dreamy. The bridal suite and groom's loft were both beautiful and like nothing I have ever seen before. Suzy keeps the bridal suite a secret to the day of and I won't go into too much detail but walking in for the first time brought tears to my eyes. The sound and lighting systems were excellent, and the dance floor was perfectly nestled in the center of the hall. The entire venue is overflowing with natural light, trees, ferns and more twinkly lights than you could ever imagine.
Value for Money:
I have nothing to say here except Neverland Farms is worth every single penny and cent. Weddings seem exponential when it comes to cost for something that truly goes by in a flash. But, I would do it all again and only at Neverland Farms.
Overall:
And, here is where my waterworks start.
Our wedding at Neverland Farms was truly a fairy-tale experience. And, yes I know that is a cliche but it’s true and there are no other words to describe it. The combination of the beautiful venue, outstanding service, and delicious food made it a day we, and our guests, will cherish forever. If you're looking for the perfect wedding venue, amazing people to help and stand by you, and memories to last a lifetime… I wholeheartedly recommend Neverland Farms.
Hats off to the entire team for making our special day a dream come true. We will love you all forever. We will miss you all dearly. Thank You from the deepest crevices of our hearts."
