Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- A treasured piece of Atlanta’s history, this is the city’s oldest park and the final resting place of some of its most noted citizens. Replete with stunning gardens, sculptures, ancient trees, and architectural jewels, it’s an utterly romantic destination, just southeast of downtown.
- The elegant façades of the Henson-Parris, Richards, and Marsh mausoleums make striking backdrops for outdoor ceremonies. If you’re dreaming of an entirely al fresco celebration, the North Public Grounds and Potter’s Field offer lush surroundings and the option to host a tented affair.
- Oakland Overlook is the park’s newest event hall; it boasts an open, minimalist design with floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The graceful Romanesque Bell Tower dates to the late 1800s, and features two floors of intimate indoor space, along with four covered porches where guests can savor views of the park and the Atlanta skyline.
