Our wedding was so much fun. People are right when they say it flies by, because we wish we could have partied longer with our friends and family! We were lucky to have a lot of people willing to help. I wish we could have more parties like that!! I also highly recommend all our vendors to anyone in the Atlanta area; a little more info below.
Reception Hall: Mary Gay House
Highly, highly recommended! This is right across the street from the church (but even if you don't have your wedding there, they have an agreement with the church to use their parking lot). It was built in the 1820's and has quite a history to it. During the Civil War, enemy soldiers took over her home and forced her to live in the teeny tiny space where we had our buffet. The ballroom was added in the 1970's and overall it holds about 100 people (not including the outdoor patio). Tables and chairs for 100 are included too. You are required to work with one of their caterers, unless you provide documentation and an extra fee, but they do their best to work with you on other things as much as they can.
Flowers: Candler Park Flowers
I love this place because they have really exotic flowers. The arrangements are beautiful, and they are willing to work with you to create something unique that also fits into your budget.
Caterer: Farm Burger
I can't talk up Farm Burger enough. They have a few restaurant locations in the Atlanta area which are already great. But a few years ago, they delved into the catering business and offered a few extra items up to their usual delicious standards. At our tasting, everyone was so friendly. Even a few cooks came out to greet us and give us wedding encouragement. They were really generous with the amount of food we got to try too. We ended up with burgers, coleslaw, deviled eggs, pasta salad and chips with onion dip. Their service was amazing and they even made sure to bring out two plates for us during the reception.
Dress: Sweet Elegance Bridal
I found my dream dress: an a-line, tea length with lace, and I found it at Sweet Elegance Bridal, a mother/daughter owned shop offering designer dresses at more affordable prices.
These ladies are amazing. They are two graphic-designers-become-bakers. I went in knowing what I wanted but from what I've seen, I would completely trust them with full creativity on a cake as well. Their icings and cakes are all made fresh.
