Mrs Rita was beyond great! She was so helpful and answered every question we had. I would definitely recommend this venue. It is gorgeous, only reason we decided not to go with it was because it was a little far from where we live.

A Night for the History Books
Working with Agnes Scott was the best decision I’ve ever made. They made the planning process, the behind-the-scenes process, and the wedding the best day of our lives. It is definitely a night to remember and for the history books. We got married in October and as of this day, we are still getting calls of how great our wedding was. And that’s all thanks to the wonderful staff at Agnes Scott. It is definitely a hidden gem in Decatur, and you won’t go wrong using this location for your wedding. The food is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any option that you choose will satisfy your guest's appetite. The attention to detail with the food is out of this world. They took their time to make sure that the menu was what we wanted. When we had our tasting, I wanted a box to go (lol). The venue screams elegance and class and that's what we wanted.The staff on our wedding day was like a family. They made sure that we did not have to look for anything, want anything. or stress about anything. From the young lady who drove the golf cart to the wait staff to the bartenders, it literally was our dream wedding. And for the icing on the cake, Mrs. Rita James, she is a gem. She knows her craft and knows how to handle any situation that may arise so the bride and groom can enjoy their day. They pay attention to the little things that make the biggest impact on the bride and groom. We had guests to come from far and wide and everyone (and I do mean everyone) raved about the venue. I look at our wedding pictures all the time and think of how special our day was. We cannot thank the staff and Mrs. Rita for making our wedding one for the history books.

The staff was nothing short of amazing on the wedding day. Everyone was extremely helpful and working to fulfill our and our guests needs by anticipating them ahead of time. Mrs. Rita was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. The food was amazing. We opted for an option that isn’t really even an option, but Mrs. Rita and the catering manager made an exception for us. She constantly met our needs and worked with us on many occasions to make the day that much more special. To see how great the venue looked, check out our pics using #RogersLuckyDay on Instagram. It’ll give you a visual of how this cafeteria hall can be flipped into the wedding venue of your dreams. We’d do and pay for it all over again. Our guests keep raving about the food and how beautiful the campus and venue looked. They can’t stop taking about it and we can’t stop thinking about how perfect the day was.
