We found Koury Farms through Zola, and based on the profile it checked most of our boxes: within an hour of ATL airport, outdoor and indoor space, beautiful scenery for photos, spacious bridal suite, onsite parking, decor included, and no excess fees. After scheduling and attending our tour (7am on a Saturday morning with a 60 minute drive was rough but well worth it), we found out that it's a small family business that prides themselves on transparent pricing, not having deals with vendors to get more money, and not taking advantage of inflating costs just because it's a wedding. They were also able to help with planning, at a high level. After a week, we decided not to look into any more venues and book with Koury Farms. For the cost of the venue (especially in the off season), it was worth every penny. They even did a small Black Friday deal, which saved us a little extra money. We attended a few prop-and-play events that helped us find vendors and pick decor. At least 80% of the decor we used was theirs, and they handled the setup and a large portion of the cleanup. We opted for the day-of coordinator, and although we had to do more work than anticipated with a day-of coordinator (for example, we had to reach out to the vendors to tell them what time to arrive, a lot of logistical decisions I was hoping she could help out with fell on us, sometimes sending requested follow-ups after calls took a few days, and just in general a lot of things that to her seemed like common knowledge or were things we should've already known/thought about that had us making a few quick decisions), the value really came through during the wedding. I was not a high-stress bride and really didn't care much about how the decor came together and let her know that, and she matched my vibe all throughout the wedding day, which was great and really kept me relaxed. We didn't rehearse until the morning of, which ended up being fine. The main consideration are you can't bring anything the day before to keep at the venue and you have to be out of the bridal villa by 5pm. Overall, our day came together perfectly, and if we had to do it again, we would pick Koury Farms!
