The story
Gardens and galleries in Buckhead
The Atlanta History Center is a museum campus of 33 acres on West Paces Ferry Road in Buckhead, a few minutes from the city's main shopping and dining districts. Its private events arm offers seven indoor and outdoor venues, mixing gardens, terraces, a ballroom and museum spaces, and it also manages events at the nearby Margaret Mitchell House.
The grounds of the historic Swan House are the main outdoor option. The house itself is a museum, so ceremonies and photographs take place outside in the gardens, and the centre charges a set-up fee for bars in that area. Inside, the Grand Overlook is the principal ballroom. It holds 750 standing and 500 seated without a stage, falling to 300 seated with a stage and dance floor, which is the layout most weddings use. Switching the room from ceremony to reception setup carries an extra charge.
