Discover Joyous Memories at The Forge

The forge experience will leave you with two lifetime experience at one venue.  A North Georgia Mountains Wedding is magical, but the experience of building a “Forged Knife” is awesome as well.  What is the Forge?  The Forge is an industrial style timber frame structure of Ledford Works blacksmith shop and home to Overlook 55 Weddings modern, rustic groom’s suite. The relaxing space offers 360 degree mountain and valley views and makes the perfect backdrop to any cocktail hour or reception. With dinner under the stars and the lights of the workshop behind you, this special space is like none other.

The groom, groomsmen and others in his party will enjoy this spacious suite located adjacent to The Forge. The men (groomsmen) can relax a little before the wedding festivities by watching college football, pro football, baseball, or more on flat screen TV, sitting around enjoying catching up, or take advantage of the other amenities such as kitchen, full bathroom, or playing some corn hole. Unique to Overlook 55, is the once in a lifetime knife making experience with History Channel’s 2X Forged in Fire finalist Caleb Ledford. With our Exclusive 2 day package, the men will enjoy the memory of forging their own knife from a rail road spike creating a take home memento of the weekend’s celebration.
