Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Capturing the refined beauty of 1920s Atlanta, this special estate (one of the last of its kind in the area) is hidden within the enclave of Druid Hills. Home to acres of Italian-inspired gardens and old growth forest, it feels virtually untouched by its urban surroundings.
- There are lovely and versatile options throughout the grounds, including the rustic, woodsy Hollow, with its quaint creek and stone footbridge, a sweeping main lawn for tented celebrations, and The Atrium, an impressive, modern hall with a whitewashed cathedral ceiling and soaring wall of windows.
- Proceeds from event rentals go directly towards supporting the Fraser Center’s mission of fostering disability inclusion and celebrating the diversity found within Atlanta’s rich community…so your wedding won’t just look beautiful; it will feel beautiful, too.
