    Beautiful and accommodating!

    The Historic DeKalb Courthouse was an amazing venue! Mallory and the rest of the team there are so accommodating. They were incredibly quick to respond to any issues that arose, and answered all questions promptly. The venue itself is beautiful, one of the biggest perks for us was that it looks so good we barely had to spend anything on decorations. It was also very nice not being forced to buy a drinks package, so that we could shop around for our own preferences. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Atlanta area.
