Absolutely gorgeous farmhouse and barn-style wedding venue (Pleasant Union Farm). It’s just under an hour North of Atlanta and in Canton, GA which is a really cool town. The owners are great people, and every time I have been there I can tell that the team who helps run the place really cares about providing an amazing experience. I’ve had a wonderful time there and highly recommend to everyone looking for a wedding venue!

So glad we used Common Sense Events for additional staffing for our wedding! They were recommended by our coordinator, and since we did so much ourselves, it was nice that there were additional people on hand to assist our coordinator in handling all the various odds and ends that came up during our wedding. They were professional, prompt, hard-working, and constantly watched to see what needed to be done, whether it was filling drink dispensers, clearing tables, serving desserts, and keeping everything looking nice and tidy. Would 100% recommend it, and would book them again in a heartbeat.

I can not say enough good things about this venue! Carol, Dennis, and their team at White Crest are absolutely wonderful. They truly think of EVERYTHING! They made sure our wedding day was the best day. They handle everything so there is no stress. Carol has a whole room full of decorations for you to choose from. This was SO helpful during the planning process. I honestly can’t imagine a more perfect day and I absolutely have White Crest to thank for that. If you are looking for a wedding venue this is it!

Common Sense Events was absolute perfection for my wedding day. Everything flowed seamlessly because of CSE and I cannot even imagine what the day would have been like without them. Every guest raved about how great the staff was and continuously asked me for their contact info for their events. Every problem that came up they tackled immediately without me (the bride) even knowing. The staff was on time, very professional, and personable. I was also extremely impressed by how quickly their responses were. I cannot say enough wonderful things about CSE, except I highly recommend you hire them.
