Little River Farms
Alpharetta, GA
Located about 30 miles from the heart of downtown Atlanta, Little River Farms is a beautiful wedding venue that has everything: a wonderful gazebo area for a ceremony, a separate farmhouse-style indoor house for a cocktail hour, and an awesome hybrid indoor-outdoor room for the reception.
The vibe is farm-y, rustic, but the Gatsby-style reception chairs and all white decor give it a sleek, minimal feel. It’s the perfect blend of homey, charming, and modern.
It also has a spacious private bridal suite where your bridesmaids can get ready, as well as a very Rat Pack-
The founder of Uptown Down actually got married here, and the staff is awesome! They even do their own in-house flowers, which helps cut down on some of the costs of your wedding.

Naylor Hall
Roswell, GA
Naylor Hall sits on downtown Roswell, GA’s famous Canton Street, and is absolutely stunning.
Many couples get married out in the front lawn area underneath huge, reaching oak trees, then migrate inside to the huge, Antebellum-style house for the wedding reception.=
Once inside, the house seems to stretch on and
Naylor Hall has a very Charleston vibe to it, with its main focal point being a huge, white, columned home built over 150 years ago.

Conservatory at Waterstone
Acworth, GA
The Conservatory at Waterstone is a full-service, gorgeous, mid-size wedding venue in downtown Acworth, GA.
Brides and grooms can get married in a small courtyard in the back of the venue, and then walk inside to a two-story reception room that has an almost Italian feel to it, with guests being able to go upstairs and look down over the expansive dance floor.
There’s a separate room that opens up next to the reception hall, where we’ve seen photo booths, extra seating, and a wine bar placed for guests that want to relax a little and get away from the busy dance floor.

Marietta, GA
Nestled under tall oak trees and literally right off the historic Marietta Square, the Whitlock Inn is a Victorian-style mansion built in the 1900s and looks just as new as the day it was built.
With a large ballroom and gardens perfect for a ceremony or cocktail hour, this venue is hugely popular and picturesque. With tons of great vendors in the area, Whitlock Inn is able to offer so much to the couples who choose this as their wedding venue.

Callanwolde Fine Arts Center
Atlanta, GA
Walking in, you feel immediately whisked back to a fancier, Hollywood-style era in this Gothic-Tudor style estate. The surrounding gardens make for beautiful wedding pictures, and an extremely tall reception area has plenty of space for dancing, eating, and celebrating with your guests.
Guests can even walk around the grounds and take in the history of the estate, as most of it looks untouched from the day it was built.
There are also plenty of private rooms upstairs to get ready and relax in, as well as a big greeting area that’s awesome for cocktail hours.
Chota Falls
Clayton, GA
Chota Falls Estates sits back off the highway about a mile or so in breathtaking North Georgia.
It’s a country-style, mountain venue that feels like it’s in a world of its own.
It also can sleep 40 guests overnight in case you want to turn your wedding day into a wedding weekend, and they have a golf and spa partnership with the nearby Waterfall Club to fill your time.
But if you’re looking for more of a secluded, mountain-style wedding reception, Chota Falls, with its homey (but extremely big) reception area, rustic style, and waterfall backdrop makes for a really memorable experience.
The Peachtree Club
Atlanta, GA
Have your ceremony out on the Skyline Terrace (unless you’re scared of heights), and split your reception between that same outdoor area and the inside, where servers carry around great-tasting hors-d’oeuvres and make amazing custom cocktails.
A private club for some of Atlanta’s elite during the week, get a taste of how the upper class lives with the Peachtree Club.
