Georgia’s Most Popular Wedding Venue

Atlanta History Center

Perfect for a summer wedding, the Atlanta History Center has an array of indoor and outdoor venues with a variety of elegant historical appeal and natural beauty. Venues include majestic lawns at the Swan House Mansion and Grand Overlook Ballroom with a wall of windows. The Atlanta History Center has terraces that embrace nature with the rustic charm of the Smith Family Farm and McElreath Hall. Outdoor gatherings at this iconic 1928 mansion with stately columns rise to unforgettable heights on a private lawn with stunning cascading fountains and the beautiful Boxwood Garden. Pledge your love in a romantic ceremony on the impeccably manicured lawns of the Swan House Mansion. This top Atlanta event venue is flexible to any size group or occasion.

The lawns can accommodate 50 to 750 guests. Because the Swan House, shown in the photo above, is a historic house museum, parties and receptions are not allowed inside the mansion, but your guests can tour the mansion for a few hours during your event. The Swan House Gardens are available for evening events from 6:00pm or later for 10 hours including setup and cleanup time.
