Juliana V. Married on 09/05/2021Dream Venue!
I toured numerous Atlanta venues for my wedding, but nothing could have compared to Callanwolde. The beautiful architecture and landscape took my breath away. If it weren’t for Google Maps, you would never know you’re in the middle of a city. It is an incredibly peaceful and quiet area of town.
I was heartbroken postponing my wedding in 2020 due to COVID, but the team worked with us to schedule a new date the following year. Everything went off without a hitch and I could not be more thankful to have chosen this spot for my big day. I grew up in Europe, and at certain times throughout the day it felt as if I was back there. I will be returning around the holidays for one of their events! -

Callanwolde was a dream for our wedding! We chose to have both the ceremony + reception on-site and there was plenty of room to host a cocktail hour and allow our guests time to explore the different rooms while they set up for the reception. Photos on the grounds are gorgeous and unique. The team was accommodating and able to bring our vision to life. There was an issue with the plumbing in the upstairs rooms where we were getting ready, but the team came up with a solution for us that worked. it was also great being able to choose all of our vendors, which helped save money. Definitely recommend!-

Dana G. Married on 05/18/2019Gorgeous Wedding Venue!
Stunning venue that I feel in love with online. As a long distance bride it was challenging to choose a wedding venue, but I feel in love with Callanwolde as soon as I looked at the website and then even more so when I got to see it in person! It was absolute beautiful and unique. It feels elegant and homey all at the same time. The main room is magical with all the draping and lights that are up year round, which helps minimize decoration costs.
Anna was very responsive during the whole process and was accommodating to our vision. We had a babysitter's room in the upstairs portion in one of the dance studios which was fantastic and I am so grateful that Callanwolde was receptive to that! Highly recommend this venue!

Callanwolde is one of my most favorite venues in Atlanta. If you like historic, classic and a staff of professionals that love this old home, then go see it. Beautiful gardens for those special ceremonies, chandeliers adorning a breathtaking ballroom and the most elegant staircase in Atlanta. Take the time to look at their pictures online and schedule a time to stop by and consider this historic location. You will LOVE IT!. Geri Sims
