Our Story
Ever seen plans twist fate? Our cherished venue's tale begins with destiny's shift. Brittany and Steve Grella, set for a Florida wedding and a move to San Diego, faced the pandemic's tidal waves – a colossal change redefining existence. Amid suspended plans, their journey took flight.
​
During this time of reflection, we evaluated truly what brought us joy and decided to explore our options. With family ties in Georgia, we felt a profound bond with the community and mountains during our visit. Brittany, versed in weddings, events, and hospitality, saw more: recognized an opportunity to not only design a retreat for them to commemorate their love story but also to weave a tapestry for which others can inscribe their unique romantic journey on too.
​
From this fertile soil of passion and purpose, the seeds of Aerial Mountain Springs Venue germinated, a manifestation of their shared vision to craft an idyllic space where love stories and celebrations would weave together seamlessly. This venue was not just born from circumstance, but from the tender threads of resilience, authenticity, and the unerring call of the heart.
​
Our dream was realized with heartfelt family contributions. Brittany, Steve, and their devoted families embarked on a journey that began with 17 raw acres of potential, blossoming into a sprawling canvas of a combined 27 acres.
​
This journey is one of dedication, each step infused with sweat and determination. From resolute concrete pouring – complete with laughter-filled "never again" moments – to countless hours of meticulous work, it's a testament to our passion in every facet. Over 3 years, we've persisted, supported by Brittany's parents turned partners in development, construction, and business. Simultaneously, Steve's parents acquired 6 neighboring acres, and aided in land-clearing that helped clear the way for our dream to take shape.
​
The depth of gratitude we hold for our steadfast support system of friends and family is immeasurable. Each of them has woven a piece of their heart into the fabric of this venue. It's a haven not just for our own cherished moments, but a sanctuary where countless others can mark their milestones, celebrating love and dreams that flourish upon the foundation of unwavering support and enduring devotion.
