Vecoma At the Yellow River

We had a great time at a wedding here this winter. The bar and buffet were outside, so the rest of the wedding festivities were not obstructed. The vibe was cute and cabin cozy with tulle overhangs, so even the most simple of decor could make the whole place pop beautifully. I'd recommend to anyone looking to get married in the Lawrenceville area!

Yes if it wasn't for this beautiful place and their wonderful staff, my sons wedding would have been a disaster. I had this LLC company owned by Chontay, Santio Smith. Artist wedding decorator, who did not come through at all she sent some random people who she claimed work for her to drop off not even close to half the decorations that we needed for the wedding. She did not decorate the balcony. She did not decorate the altar. She did not decorate the isles hell she did not decorate the sweetheart table. She didn't decorate the tables fully after paying her at 1200 bucks, what she asked for and saying that that would take care of everything and that it would be really nice and I wouldn't have a problem at all. She lied so NO ONE ever use this company by Chontay Artis, weddingsbydesign , because she would take your money and run, very unprofessional. She didn't even call to check up on us to see if everything went well. Because she knew she was wrong. You try to Trust black owned companies , but I'm sorry I never will again. I had no problem giving her what she asked for and she did not deliver. I must say bad business , so if you want to be took go to her.

Even though I haven't had my wedding at Vecoma yet, I've had the pleasure of experiencing their outstanding customer service and delicious food at one of their tasting events. The setting by the Yellow River is enchanting, and their staff goes above and beyond to make you feel special. It's a gem of a venue! my fiancé, and I are so excited to get married there!

The location and venue is absolutely beautiful. The staff was less than stellar with accommodating a simple request. A staff member expressed his opinion on how it should be instead of being accommodating to the customer.

A request for reserve tables with the dynamics of families these days should not leave a family feeling unheard and stressed during a happy occasion.

The food lacked flavor.

My wedding came out nice but it wasn't great. What my husband and I paid for we didn't received. So the cocktail hour was planned to be on the patio which not set up with no tables or decor. When I asked the staff why isn't the guest on the patio and why isn't set up. She said "well they can but they have to inside to go outside. " (I was taking photos inside) But two staircases outside that they enter the patio. (which is the same staff member I been having issues with the beginning ) my husband and I was inside taking photos. My guests standing outside in front of the building which did not look good at all. In the bridal suite which really need a lot of update furniture and decor. My bridesmaids and I didn't gave any snacks or drinks which I was told I will receive. Just water was there. So from the beginning we told the staff member what all we wanted so about 2 weeks before the wedding I visit venue for the last time make sure it was enough space for the Photo Booth and table layout. So for before months we are thinking we have plated style wedding (because that we told the staff member) until I went to there 2 weeks before the wedding. The whole time she had buffet style so we had to pay more money for the plated style. Some of my guest said the dinner napkins had a fishy oder. I mention that to them and we never got back to us about why it smelled like that. But I will say the one guy so was working there was very nice to us and try his best to make sure we was good. It was just a lot of things was told to us and we didn't receive.

The venue and staff were excellent From start to finish during the planning of my daughters wedding. Everything turned out better than I could have ever hoped for . Would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a. Wedding.

Vecoma is a hidden gem located right on the beautiful Yellow River. Nestled among pine, oak, sweetgum, and other native Georgia trees, it makes for a great backdrop for photos. Vecoma is an elegant, intimate setting for parties, weddings and receptions, banquets, company picnics, dances, or almost any event. It seats 150 people inside.

I came here for a wedding, it was in August on a Friday evening so you know it was hot!!! I liked the backdrop and aesthetics but a summer outdoor wedding in Georgia is treacherous.

The reception was indoors with A/C so that was a welcomed change from the sweltering heat outside. The venue provided their own catered food, buffet style. There was a nice salad, a meat lasagna, I vegetarian lasagna which appeared nice, I went for the meat. There was a penne pasta as well and garlic bread. I wouldn't call it ideal wedding food but it was palatable.

There was an open bar with well drinks, the pours were heavy which was appreciated. The DJ played every line dance song ever written! The only downside is they kicked everyone out promptly at the 3 Hour mark. No ifs ands or buts about it!

There is ample parking as well.

Vecoma was absolutely gorgeous, and the event staff made everything amazing and seamless. The food was fantastic! Our guests are still talking about how magical everything was. My only recommendation for improvement is to put in stairs to get down to the rock for those awesome photos. The photos by the venue photographer have all been gorgeous!

We got married at the vecoma in April and it was PERFECT. A hidden gem In Snellville 6 miles from stone mountain park and the prices are all inclusive and VERY affordable. Well Less than 20k for over 100 people with an open bar photography and dj and they have excellent reviews. I still get compliments about my venue and the food. I highly HIGHLY recommend them. Great family owned venue. You can purchase additional time if you want more than 3 hours we purchased and additional 1/2 hour and believe it or not 3.5 hours is the perfect amout of time.

I can't say enough great things about this venue, the owner and the staff! We got married here in August last year. Caroline the owner is an absolute angel. She was so helpful and patient throughout the whole planning stage and we also used her as our photographer and the photos are stunning.

The venue is beautiful and doesn't need much to make it pretty. Not only was it affordable- they were also the most laid back venue, which swayed our decision. You can book additional hours to have your party go late into the night, which was a big deal for us as many other venues closed by 11pm. With them we got to party until 2am. They also let me bring my own decor, desserts & cake at no charge and even some Nigerian dishes to add to their buffet- which they served. The food was delicious and plenty! Other venues wanted to charge for all that.

On the day they had a lovely team who were so helpful with setting up. And when we sat down for the reception, the manager thoughtfully brought us hot food and champagne to the sweetheart table, ensuring that we got to eat. I've been to weddings before where the staff were not friendly and it really brings down the mood. They made all our guests feel welcome and comfortable and they took the stress out of the day.

The location is beautiful and abundant with nature. There was just something so beautiful about getting married in the garden with the soft sound of the flowing river in the background.
