These venues pair a garden with a building, so the ceremony can be outside and dinner under a roof. Ask what is blooming in your month and which room is the rain plan.
I walk the paths before the day, note where the shade falls at ceremony time, and save the best beds for the last hour of sun.
The Venues
West Midtown · Up to 400
A refurbished Westside warehouse entered through a walled courtyard planted to feel like a Tuscan villa. Inside, curved ceilings, reused industrial pieces and a carved wood staircase modeled on Michelangelo's library give the room its signature. The mezzanine looks down on the courtyard for toasts or a lounge.
Roswell · Up to 400
A city owned 1842 house museum across from Roswell's historic Town Square, listed by the City of Roswell among its wedding venues. Events use the lawns and an old formal garden, with a small barn for food service. Couples bring their own caterer and rentals.
Roswell · Up to 300
A city owned Greek Revival house museum from Roswell's founding years, listed by the City of Roswell among its wedding venues. Weddings happen on the lawns and garden with a pond and pavilion, while the Osage Room covers a small indoor dinner. It is a do it yourself venue where couples bring their own caterer and rentals.
Poncey Highland · Up to 275
The Carter Center campus beside the presidential library rents a chapel for ceremonies and the Cyprus Room for receptions. Rooms look out on Japanese gardens, lakes and the koi pond, and the foyer faces the downtown skyline. Catering and bar come only from its exclusive caterer.
Marietta · Up to 250
A house and garden near Marietta Square run as the Marietta Educational Garden Center. Vows happen at a gazebo, the lawn holds the dance floor, and a banquet hall in the home seats a sit down dinner. Couples bring their own caterer, alcohol is allowed, and published rates are among the lowest in the metro.
Midtown · Up to 200
A two and a half story red brick Victorian mansion on Ponce de Leon with Queen Anne and Shingle Style details. SCAD restored it and hangs art from its own collection inside. A private garden holds the ceremony, and the house rooms take the reception.
Summerour Studio publishes the biggest number, up to 400 guests. The smallest that publishes a count is SCAD Ivy Hall, up to 200.
3 of the 6 do. Summerour Studio, Fair Oaks, Marietta Educational Garden Center, SCAD Ivy Hall list a price on their own site, and the rest quote by date.
None of them publish a rain plan online, so ask each one for the backup room in writing and walk it on your tour.
