My daughter’s wedding at Chateau1870 was absolutely beautiful. As someone who had never planned a wedding before, I was overwhelmed at first — but the owners went above and beyond to guide me through every step of the process. Their support was genuine, consistent, and incredibly thoughtful. From the moment we started planning, it felt like they were just as invested in the day as we were. They weren’t just offering a venue — they were offering heartfelt support. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made it feel like they were planning the wedding for their own daughter. That’s how much they truly cared. The venue itself is stunning, whether you’re envisioning an elegant outdoor ceremony or a cozy, intimate indoor celebration. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting — or more authentic, kind-hearted people to work with. I would highly recommend Chateau1870 to anyone planning a wedding. You’ll not only get a beautiful space but a team that’s fully committed to making your special day unforgettable.

Absolutely beautiful establishment. Gorgeously and authentically decorated. Everything in sight is picture perfect. More than enough room to accommodate my overnight guests. Pleasantly clear and straightforward with planning and logistics. Before choosing a location for our wedding, I was afraid it was going to be stressful. One thing for absolute certain is that everyone at The Carmichael made the whole experience positive and up-lifting. It felt so much like a fairytale, I didn’t want to come back to real life. 12 out of 10!

Little Gardens is the right place to be if you’re looking to make your wedding extraordinary. Kristin and her team diligently worked with us even though we had little time, and everything worked out perfectly. Guests that came from overseas were amazed that such a place could rival bigger wedding venues. From the decor, communication and coordination, Little Garden made our day stress free and extra special. If I could get re-married to my wife every year, I’ll choose Little Gardens.

We weren’t prepared for how COMPLETE our experience was going to be with Four Oaks Manor! I mean: decor, service ware, choice of colors and accents, customized ceremony backdrop, signage, seating, setup and takedown, and so much more. Their coordinator McKenzie Julian took on so much more responsibility for us- at NO extra charge- that she was practically our wedding planer from day one. The staff, the chef, and the grounds were all beyond our expectations. We wanted an outdoor venue with a forest-vineyard-farmhouse vibe and somehow we found Four Oaks to accommodate it all. There was PLENTY of room for our 80 person event, the ceremony seating and dinner arrangements were comfortable and well-placed. We had unlimited ice included and had staff handling refills of self-serve canned alcohol. There were NO surprise fees and TONS of surprise upgrades. Choosing Four Oaks was the best decision we made besides “I do!”

We got married at The Chapel on Sycamore in April and it was everything that we had hoped for! The chapel itself is gorgeous with the dark wood interior and stained glass, and the outdoor space in the spring was perfect for everything from photos to cocktail hour gathering. We had 200 guests and the space was accommodating. Lisa was with us to coordinate our day from the very start and was incredibly prepared, responsive, timely, and helpful in answering my many questions throughout the planning process. She met me at the Chapel to visit multiple times to look at the space as I was planning the event. We used Oakhurst Market, a preferred caterer, for our food and got many compliments (and loved the food ourselves!). We loved the location in Decatur near restaurants and bars for our guests and the ease of travel and proximity to the city and it was easy to book parking for our guests nearby with Lisa's assistance. I would highly recommend The Chapel on Sycamore as an excellent wedding/event venue with lovely and helpful staff. The pictures included are by OliviaRosePhotography.

I highly recommend the Atrium and all of their professionals that work within the company. My fiancé and I picked this venue because we needed a place that was all inclusive and a well oiled machine. I have been in the wedding industry for years and it felt good to RELEASE all control to the hands of these amazing professionals. Brides..including myself, get caught up in the "Pinterest/ Instagram worthy" weddings and that's great, but If you don't HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA money then sometimes it seems like those dreams for us budget friendly brides are untouchable. I never felt like I needed to be and or have a "luxury" budget with the staff at the Atrium. They worked their magic to make sure that my husband and I had a BEAUTIFUL EVENT. We had major financial hiccups closer to the wedding and they just pivoted with us, again showing the utmost professionalism and empathy; within the guidelines of their policies. I cannot thank everyone enough!!!

The 173 Carlyle House was the absolute perfect venue for our special day. We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception there with almost 200 guests, and their venue space and staff accommodated for us exceptionally well! My favorite thing about the Carlyle House is its flexibility and the ability to personalize decor and details for your event, as well as it's reasonable and extremely affordable pricing. Throughout the entire planning process (only 4 months), Gerise was helpful, responsive, and offered her expertise and support whenever needed. I had multiple meetings, calls, and walkthroughs to plan and finalize everything, and she was more than accommodating each time I reached out. The house itself is classy, elegant, and charming, which is exactly what I was envisioning for our wedding. The staff and catering were wonderful and we received many compliments from our guests on their service. I hope we have another reason to use them again in the future! We highly recommend the 173 Carlyle House for any special event!
