Callanwolde Fine Arts Center
980 Briarcliff Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30306
Callanwolde Fine Arts Center takes backyard weddings to the next level. Dating back over 100 years, the 12-acre Druid Hills estate was originally built and owned by the Candler Family. Today, the home is an event space whose mission is to provide Atlanta with accessible arts education to the underserved. Beautifully framed by mature trees and florals, this 27,000-square-foot mansion is old-world craftsmanship at its best—featuring 12-foot ceilings, walnut floors and paneling, and a spiral staircase framed by a solid limestone archway that leads into the great hall. Outside, the fantasy only continues. There are terraces, a fountain, lush lawns, and formal gardens. By hosting your wedding here, you are not only making use of a gorgeous event space but also supporting 10+ art programs in the process.
The Grand Sojourn
1685 Newport Hwy, Sevierville, TN 37876
Opening March 2025, The Grand Sojourn is a private, intimate space in the Smoky Mountains. This venue is perfect for the couple who wants to turn their wedding into a full-fledged vacation. The Grand Sojourn offers more than just beautiful views of Mount LeConte – there are also 40 onsite tiny homes (conveniently available to accommodate your guests) and a wide range of amenities, including communal fire pits, a pickleball court, shuffleboard, viewing decks, food trucks, and a scenic walking trail.
42West
1088 Huff Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
Comprised of stunning industrial architecture, 42West has heart, not only in its beautiful framework—but in its mission as a business. Owned and founded by 30-year event veteran, Lauren Pelissier, 42West was constructed from a worn-down Westside warehouse. Now suited with details reminiscent of the 1940s, the space includes farmhouse tables, metal Tolix chairs and high-styled lounge furniture all beautifully framed by brick walls and iron and glass doors. Even outside, industrial aesthetics are still well-kept yet softened by massive trees that hang over the space and a tall, wooden plank and iron fence that surrounds the venue. To give back to her community, Pelissier graciously offers the space for free at least once a month —hosting 38 nonprofit events just in 2024.
Terminus 330
330 Marietta St NW, Atlanta, GA 30313
Terminus 330 is spectacularly on trend and was voted Atlanta’s Best Wedding Venue in 2024 for good reason. Separated into three spaces—The Main Space, The Cellar, and The Rooftop Terrace—each is equally as chic with its antiquated touch and is handicap accessible on all levels. The Main Space welcomes guests with a wrought iron entrance, leading into hardwoods, exposed brick, vaulted ceilings, and warm natural light. To top it off, a stunning mezzanine overlooks Atlanta’s historic railway; a sizable warming kitchen and private green room complete the space. The Cellar, a 1920s-inspired floor, charms with original stonework and vintage lighting that recalls the Prohibition Era. Located just beneath The Main Space, The Cellar features cozy lounge furniture, an oversized antique safe, and stone walls. Last but certainly not least, The Rooftop Terrace gives way to a dazzling panorama of the Atlanta skyline and the perfect dance floor for your guests.
The Commerce Club
191 Peachtree St 49th Floor, Atlanta, GA 30303
Perched 49 floors high, in the heart of Atlanta’s business district, The Commerce Club offers quite the view and an elegant space. Every wedding at The Commerce Club comes with professional and attentive service from their tenured staff; cuisine from Executive Chef Sam Greene—who hones his inspiration from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors; various bar packages; music and entertainment coordination; a customizable dance floor and private club exclusivity. With the Commerce Club, all you have to do is sit back and watch your wedding play out perfectly. They even offer dedicated assistance with menu planning, florals, linens, decor, and entertainment.
