Things To Do

If you have some time to spend before or after the wedding, here are some of Marie-Claire's favorite places around her hometown.

Douceur De France

277 South Marietta Parkway Southwest, Marietta, GA 30064
, (770) 425-5050

This is where Jared and I first met! The owner is a world-class pastry chef from France. For breakfast or lunch, I recommend the panini benedict or the chicken pot pie, but whatever you order, you must get a pastry and/or dessert on your way out. (You honestly can't go wrong, but the Napoleon is our favorite.) Note: closed on Sundays!

Two Birds Taphouse

52 Powder Springs Street, Marietta, GA 30064
, (678) 324-7205

Two Birds is one of the few places on the Square that's open late! Their food, cocktail menu, and beer list are all excellent. Walk over there after the reception to keep the party going!

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park Visitors Center

900 Kennesaw Mountain Drive, Marietta, GA 30060
, (770) 427-4686

In addition to being a Civil War battlefield, it's also a good beginner-level hike with a great view at the top, if you're into that kind of thing.

Hoboken Cafe on Whitlock

688 Whitlock Avenue Northwest, Marietta, GA 30064
, (678) 909-3375

Benjamin introduced me to this lunch-only place, when I once mentioned I was craving a meatball sandwich. I was not disappointed. Pro tip: get the cheesecake; thank me later.

The Big Chicken

12 Cobb Parkway, Marietta, GA 30062
, (770) 422-4716

No one in Marietta is sure why this thing is so famous, but it's very useful for giving directions. Don't go in (unless you want KFC), just drive by and say you saw it.

Doughnut Dollies

724 Cherokee Street Northeast, Marietta, GA 30060
, (404) 365-5437

I've never had a Dollie I wasn't impressed by. (Faves: Lemon Lavender. Creme brûlée. Salted caramel. Red velvet. Apple fritter.)

Historic Marietta Square

50 North Park Square, Marietta, GA 30060

In addition to being very cute, the Square has lots of great places to get lunch, dinner, coffee, or ice cream. My favorites include La Parilla (the original location!), Marietta Pizza Company, Stockyard, and Thaicoon. If you want to relive my high school days, get some ice cream from Sweetreats and enjoy it by the fountain.

For all the days along the way
