The Buckhead hotels on this page sit along Peachtree Road, Lenox Road and the two Paces Ferry roads, a short ride from one another. Each publishes its own ballrooms and event rooms, and several pair them with a terrace or a rooftop.
Pick a hotel when you want the whole weekend under one roof. Guests sleep upstairs, the rehearsal dinner can be in the restaurant, and nobody drives after the last dance. If your ceremony is in a nearby church, a hotel ballroom is the easy place to land afterward.
I build the morning around the biggest window in your suite, take the two of you to the terrace or the best staircase for portraits, and photograph the ballroom before the doors open.
