We weren’t prepared for how COMPLETE our experience was going to be with Four Oaks Manor! I mean: decor, service ware, choice of colors and accents, customized ceremony backdrop, signage, seating, setup and takedown, and so much more. Their coordinator McKenzie Julian took on so much more responsibility for us- at NO extra charge- that she was practically our wedding planer from day one. The staff, the chef, and the grounds were all beyond our expectations. We wanted an outdoor venue with a forest-vineyard-farmhouse vibe and somehow we found Four Oaks to accommodate it all. There was PLENTY of room for our 80 person event, the ceremony seating and dinner arrangements were comfortable and well-placed. We had unlimited ice included and had staff handling refills of self-serve canned alcohol. There were NO surprise fees and TONS of surprise upgrades. Choosing Four Oaks was the best decision we made besides “I do!”

Little Gardens is the right place to be if you’re looking to make your wedding extraordinary. Kristin and her team diligently worked with us even though we had little time, and everything worked out perfectly. Guests that came from overseas were amazed that such a place could rival bigger wedding venues. From the decor, communication and coordination, Little Garden made our day stress free and extra special. If I could get re-married to my wife every year, I’ll choose Little Gardens.

The 173 Carlyle House was the absolute perfect venue for our special day. We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception there with almost 200 guests, and their venue space and staff accommodated for us exceptionally well! My favorite thing about the Carlyle House is its flexibility and the ability to personalize decor and details for your event, as well as it's reasonable and extremely affordable pricing. Throughout the entire planning process (only 4 months), Gerise was helpful, responsive, and offered her expertise and support whenever needed. I had multiple meetings, calls, and walkthroughs to plan and finalize everything, and she was more than accommodating each time I reached out. The house itself is classy, elegant, and charming, which is exactly what I was envisioning for our wedding. The staff and catering were wonderful and we received many compliments from our guests on their service. I hope we have another reason to use them again in the future! We highly recommend the 173 Carlyle House for any special event!

She kept everything running smoothly while making it feel effortless, relaxed, and totally us. She handled every detail with so much care and calm, and her energy was exactly what we needed: fun, positive, and completely on top of it all. We actually got to be present and enjoy every moment, thanks to her. Emma, you’re an absolute star. We’re so grateful for you and everything you did to make our day feel magical.

I highly recommend the Atrium and all of their professionals that work within the company. My fiancé and I picked this venue because we needed a place that was all inclusive and a well oiled machine. I have been in the wedding industry for years and it felt good to RELEASE all control to the hands of these amazing professionals. Brides..including myself, get caught up in the "Pinterest/ Instagram worthy" weddings and that's great, but If you don't HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA money then sometimes it seems like those dreams for us budget friendly brides are untouchable. I never felt like I needed to be and or have a "luxury" budget with the staff at the Atrium. They worked their magic to make sure that my husband and I had a BEAUTIFUL EVENT. We had major financial hiccups closer to the wedding and they just pivoted with us, again showing the utmost professionalism and empathy; within the guidelines of their policies. I cannot thank everyone enough!!!
