Gardens And Old Houses

Not every Buckhead wedding happens in a ballroom. The venues on this page offer grounds, gardens or a historic house, and they bring a very different look to the day.

Plan For Weather

Outdoor venues publish their own weather rules, and some set firm cutoffs for heat and rain. Read them before you book, and know which indoor room is the backup.

How I Would Plan The Photographs

Gardens are at their best in the last hour of sun. I plan the portraits there, and I keep the house or the indoor room for the in between moments.

Atlanta History Center, Buckhead Campus

A 33 acre history campus in Buckhead with the 1928 Swan House, gardens, a ballroom and museum spaces, and it hosts only one wedding a day. Couples can marry on the Swan House lawns and move to the Grand Overlook ballroom, which looks over the Goizueta Gardens. A licensed wedding planner who is not a family member is required. Invitations should list Atlanta History Center at 130 West Paces Ferry, not Swan House, since GPS sends guests to the Swan Coach House instead.
