Nicole was a fantastic planner who was always responsive and kept everything running smoothly on the wedding day. Lindy, the in-house florist, created stunning arrangements that perfectly matched our vision. The food was phenomenal, and their recommended vendors, like Posh Cakery, were excellent. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for, thanks to this incredible team!

My daughter’s wedding at Chateau1870 was absolutely beautiful. As someone who had never planned a wedding before, I was overwhelmed at first — but the owners went above and beyond to guide me through every step of the process. Their support was genuine, consistent, and incredibly thoughtful. From the moment we started planning, it felt like they were just as invested in the day as we were. They weren’t just offering a venue — they were offering heartfelt support. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made it feel like they were planning the wedding for their own daughter. That’s how much they truly cared. The venue itself is stunning, whether you’re envisioning an elegant outdoor ceremony or a cozy, intimate indoor celebration. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting — or more authentic, kind-hearted people to work with. I would highly recommend Chateau1870 to anyone planning a wedding. You’ll not only get a beautiful space but a team that’s fully committed to making your special day unforgettable.

We appreciates their involved, thorough, and responsive communication style. The staff was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process, and the set-up on the day went seamlessly. While we had to use their in house catering and florist, which required an additional tasting fee if you wanted a private tasting, the end result was a beautiful event space that was overall well worth it. The only downside was wishing there had been a bit more hands-on help with the day-of timeline and schedule, and wishing our day of coordinator had helped get some of the shots and moments we wanted on camera. But overall, Little Gardens provided an excellent value and contributed greatly to making our special day perfect. Everyone there is wonderful!

Loved having my ceremony here at the little house. I wanted to have my reception there as well, however, the City of Johns Creek requires an alcohol permit and insurance which would have cost us more than the venue cost. This is not in any way Autry Mills fault. It is not their requirement but it was disappointing to us having to make last minute venue changes for our reception.

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!

We got married at The Chapel on Sycamore in April and it was everything that we had hoped for! The chapel itself is gorgeous with the dark wood interior and stained glass, and the outdoor space in the spring was perfect for everything from photos to cocktail hour gathering. We had 200 guests and the space was accommodating. Lisa was with us to coordinate our day from the very start and was incredibly prepared, responsive, timely, and helpful in answering my many questions throughout the planning process. She met me at the Chapel to visit multiple times to look at the space as I was planning the event. We used Oakhurst Market, a preferred caterer, for our food and got many compliments (and loved the food ourselves!). We loved the location in Decatur near restaurants and bars for our guests and the ease of travel and proximity to the city and it was easy to book parking for our guests nearby with Lisa's assistance. I would highly recommend The Chapel on Sycamore as an excellent wedding/event venue with lovely and helpful staff. The pictures included are by OliviaRosePhotography.
