In the Alps of Bavaria, lovestruck young men would brave the elements and pit themselves against Mother Nature to collect the Edelweiss flower. The delicate white blossom only grows in crags and ledges of the mountains. The dangerous exercise of collecting such a bouquet proved in those days that the suitor was brave, able-bodied and serious in his intentions.

Nestled in the "Alps of North Georgia" is an Edelweiss that provides a lovestruck young man with a beautiful and romantic location in which to wed his betrothed. Located in the shadow of Mount Yonah only one and one half hours from Atlanta, the Edelweiss German Inn provides a picturesque setting in a stress-free environment.

Whether you are getting married or renewing your vows, the beautiful mountain and garden settings of the Edelweiss along with the culinary artistry of our award winning chefs will help you create the event of your dreams.

The Chalet Room From the high-pitched tongue-in-groove ceiling overhead to the full length windows providing a picturesque view of Mount Yonah, the Chalet Room is perfect for intimate weddings.

The Biergarten For those who prefer an outdoor venue, the Biergarten, looking out across the valley to Mount Yonah is a beautiful site for small weddings.

The Water Garden In this beatufiful outdoor setting the trees reach high overhead like an Old World cathedral. The bride makes her way alongside our flowing koi-filled wassergartens (water gardens) to meet her groom at the ivy covered gazebo. A waterfall flows beside the gazebo providing a relaxing sound for the couple during their ceremony. This is the ideal site for a beautiful outdoor wedding.
