There are a multitude of indoor and outdoor wedding venues and event spaces to choose from. Take your pick from traditional wedding venues, hotels, country clubs, farms, barns, state parks, museums, lake front venues and more.
You can choose to stay in Atlanta, or bring your guests outside of the perimeter such as in Marietta, Alpharetta, Athens, Dahlonega or Helen. There are also many options for lodging for you and your wedding guests, whether you’re planning a micro wedding, elopement or if you’ll have 250 guests.
What is the average cost of a wedding in Georgia?
The average cost of a wedding in Georgia is about $20,000. High end weddings that splurge more, particularly on the venue and photo/video team, usually spend closer to $30,000. One way to save on your wedding is to consider a weekday or off-season for your wedding date, as venues may offer lower pricing.
