Things to Consider for a Wedding in Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia is a fabulous destination, which is a bonus when it comes to wedding planning, but it’s not without its faults. Here are a few things to keep in mind (good and bad) before committing to an event venue in the city.

Advantages

• Atlanta is a fun city to visit! In the days leading up to your wedding, you can check out the area’s top attractions and restaurants and make some memories.

• Parking is pretty readily available and city parking costs are not astronomical, though you won’t find free parking just anywhere.

• Atlanta has a vibrant LGBTQ+ community and is generally pretty safe and inclusive.

Disadvantages

• You’ll need a call to get around. Whether this is a rental or fancy wedding day limo service, planning your transportation is a must, even just for small pre-wedding errands.

• There are over 70 roads with the name Peachtree in some variation. If you’re looking to get to Peachtree St, you may want to double, triple, and quadruple-check that you’re going to the right place.

• Some studies state that Atlanta is home to some of the worst traffic congestion in all of America. Yikes!

What Kind of Venue Can I Rent for Weddings in Atlanta?

The perfect setting for your ceremony and reception is only a few clicks away. With options like these, any Atlanta wedding venue would make the perfect choice.

Event Halls – Large, Versatile Spaces. We promise banquet halls are good for so much more than corporate events. Not only do these spaces offer tons of flexibility in terms of theme and decor, but they are perfect for events with larger guest lists because there’s so much space. You can play around with your seating charts and room layouts as much as you want and still have room for your card tables, DJ booths, dance floor, dessert spread…the works. Some even offer security!

Private Lakefront – Embrace Natural Beauty. Dreaming of a venue that’s equal parts picturesque and serene? Exchange vows in front of the sparkling lake and bring in a big white tent for an outdoor reception. You can break out the BBQ for a simple “down home” feel, or dress everything up in pastel blooms and chandeliers for a wedding that’s straight out of a Nicolas Sparks movie.

Atlanta Mansions – The Secret to a Magazine Worthy Event. For a wedding straight out of Vogue, choose one of these sprawling city estates. They make the “old money” aesthetic a whole lot cooler with champagne towers, satin gloves, pearls, and flash photography. You may even want to end the night with a spur-of-the-moment dip in the pool!

Cottages – For Intimate Weddings. On the other hand, if you're thinking of having a micro wedding instead, a small backyard wedding at a mini cottage is recommended. With a large backyard for outdoor ceremonies and reception and a cozy interior complete with bedrooms and a kitchen, this venue would be the ideal setting for the couple who wants something simple and lowkey.

How to Plan a Wedding in Atlanta

You’re not just a bride or groom-to-be, you’re also embarking on your journey as a wedding host, and that can come with a lot of anxiety. Once you’ve chosen the perfect location to tie the knot, take advantage of some of our pro planning tips to reduce stress:

Create a Shared Calendar – Share it with your soon-to-be spouse, your bridal party, and your parents. Important wedding appointments and deadlines should be added regularly so everyone is kept in the loop.

Create a Bridal Emergency Kit – Put together a bag of bobby pins, a double of your bridal lipstick, hairspray, a mini sewing kit, mints, and medications, and keep it nearby so you can look and feel your best all day long.

Draft Your Seating Chart Early – We know you need to wait for the final headcount and RSVPs to come in to make the final copy, but seating arrangements are surprisingly complicated so leaving it until the last second is a recipe for stress. Make your RSVP deadline early and create a working draft with tables you know aren’t likely to change (like the head tables and immediate family tables) ahead of time so you have less work to do later.

Break in Your Wedding Shoes – Trust us, you do not want sore feet and blisters on your wedding day causing you to sit out during the dancing or ditch your expensive shoes early in the evening. Spend some time wearing them around the house and breaking them in well in advance of your wedding date.

How to Save Money on Your Wedding in Atlanta

We certainly don’t need to tell you that planning a wedding is expensive, and that goes beyond renting a beautiful space. Don’t let that get you down! You don’t need a massive budget for an unforgettable experience, just a few of these money-savvy tips:

Limit your photography hours.

We know those memories are so precious and you don’t want to miss a thing, but we’re not telling you to skip bridal portraits or the first kiss. Instead, have your photographer come right at the tail end of your getting ready to get a few shots rather than the whole hair makeup process (which they wouldn’t be photographing super actively anyways) and send them home about an hour into dancing. Party pics are fun but guests tend to lose steam/leave after a while anyway, so 12 hours of coverage isn’t a must

Keep the reception short and sweet.

Opt for a cocktail party style lasting only a couple of hours and host an intimate after-party to supplement. An open bar for 10 of your closest friends is a lot more reasonable than 100 for 5+ hours.

Skip the crazy bach trips.

These parties are a great opportunity to build excitement around your wedding, celebrate your engagement period, and make memories with your friends, but the costs can get out of hand. Stick to something local for one night only, go camping, or ask a relative if you can stay at their cottage for the weekend. It doesn’t need to be an over-the-top week in the Caribbean with welcome baskets and a whole new wardrobe to be special.
