Question

Where is Decatur, Georgia?

Answer

Decatur, Georgia is a small town within the larger Atlanta metropolitan area. It is 5 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta and 17 miles from Atlanta's International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson. Jenny and Craig have spent much of their free time in Decatur since moving to Atlanta. They love its small town feel, good eats, and artsy vibe. When considering places to get married, Decatur was at the top of their list. They hope you will love it as much as they do! http://www.visitdecaturgeorgia.com/tourism

Question

What about the kids?

Answer

While children are not invited to the wedding ceremony and reception, we would love for you to bring the entire family to Atlanta for a fun filled weekend! Children are also more than welcome to join for the Meet and Greet event. Jenny can provide a curated list of experienced, medical student babysitters for the wedding ceremony and reception.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the wedding?

Answer

Guests will be responsible for their transportation to and from the wedding ceremony and reception. The Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Decatur Downtown offers a complimentary shuttle within a 3 miles radius of the hotel to all guests. Both the wedding ceremony and reception venues are within in the radius! The shuttle is first come, first served so we recommend booking this feature at check-in if you are interested.
