Where Events Create Community
Tucked into the heart of Habersham, Village Social is more than just an event venue—it’s a place where people come together, ideas are shared, and memories are made. Founded by longtime resident and creative powerhouse Stephanie Smalley, Village Social was designed with connection in mind. Our mission is simple: to offer an intimate, thoughtfully curated space that turns gatherings into unforgettable experiences.
At Village Social, we specialize in hosting a wide range of events—from personal celebrations like bridal showers, birthdays, and engagement parties to professional gatherings such as corporate lunches, presentations, and creative showcases. We’re also proud to offer daily venue rentals for art exhibits, book signings, trunk shows, and more.
But what truly sets us apart? We’re not just handing you the keys to a blank space. Village Social offers a full-service experience, including event planning, decorating, catering coordination, and design support. Whether you're dreaming up a cozy celebration or a polished professional event, we’ll bring it to life—seamlessly, stylishly, and stress-free.
We also love giving back to the community that inspires us. Our signature House Events bring guest creatives, instructors, and professionals to Village Social for public workshops, hands-on classes, and fun activities. It’s all part of our belief that when we gather with intention, we build something bigger than a single event—we build community.
