One of the unique features of this venue is all the accommodations. The Sweetwater Branch Inn offers 29 guest rooms, suites and cottages for family and friends, two acres of gardens for perfect for outside wedding ceremonies, the McKenzie Banquet Hall for receptions and the Historic McKenzie House for smaller wedding celebrations.
For getting ready photos, I love a naturally, well lit room, and this venue has it! The Carriage House can be a perfect spot to get all the bridesmaids ready in one place, as well as take some fun getting ready photos.
