Why not celebrate your love at a resort inspired by love? An hour northwest of Atlanta, Barnsley Resort in Adairsville started as a beautiful home by Godfrey Barnsley for his beloved wife, Julia.

Approximately one hour southwest of Atlanta, Callaway Gardens obviously is a prime destination for outdoor weddings. However, one of its most gorgeous, manmade wedding venues is the Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel. Reminiscent of a 16th-century Gothic chapel, the church’s stained glass windows, stone altar, and lakeside setting are perfect for iconic wedding photos.

Beautiful wedding venues are bountiful in Atlanta, but only Fernbank Museum of Natural History offers couples a wedding site featuring the world’s largest dinosaur skeletons as the centerpiece. Or, for smaller gatherings, book the Star Gallery, complete with mood lighting and a fiber optic ceiling that features constellations of the evening sky.
Infuse Southern hospitality with international flair at The Carter Center, where you can make your own kind of history. What could be better than starting your marriage at a place with a slogan that includes “Building Hope”?

Built in 1928, the Swan House presents an iconic backdrop for any wedding ceremony. The historic mansion is an outstanding example of Second Renaissance Revival architecture. And, for Hunger Games aficionados, who wouldn’t want to get married at President Snow’s mansion?

Imagine having a whale shark or beluga whale swim by as the backdrop to your big day. It can happen if your wedding is in the Oceans Ballroom at the Georgia Aquarium. It’s an entirely new way to add drama to an already dramatic event.
