Amazing venue!!

Chattahoochee Nature Center was an incredible venue for our wedding day. The team (Fabiola & Caroline) went above and beyond to make our day special and worked with all our vendors to make the day run smoothly. Our guests were raving about the beauty of the CNC for months afterward. We got married in May and the trees/flowers were beautiful. Thank you for making our day so special!

CNC Wedding

This was a fantastic venue for our wedding. There are a number of staff who help address any question you have. Everyone is friendly and responsive. CNC is also an amazing place that helps wildlife and contributes to education and conservation, so in addition to the cost securing you an awesome venue, you are also contributing to an amazing cause. Would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and the outdoors.

The perfect day!

Perfect for nature lovers. A hawk was swooping over our ceremony and we could hear spring peepers singing along on the dance floor. All the staff was so kind and attentive. Thank you CNC!

Excellent venue! Best kept secret in Roswell

Loved the natural beauty of this venue. We did a minimal amount of decorating for the engagement party because the setting was perfect. The open air pavilion has some cafe lights to provide mood lighting. The stone fireplace is a nice feature in the space too. Nonprofessional photos.

Excellent site for wedding & reception! Staff is very pleasant and professional. So beautiful in fall!

We had a wonderful experience with Andrea guiding us through planning & the wedding day. Her suggestion to contact Roswell’s Ted Basco made it very easy to plan the best hotel for our out of town guests. Andrea was very professional & always positive during the challenge of navigating through a year with Covid. Although we had correct spacing for guests, it did not feel awkward. It was a beautiful night & the pavilion was beautiful with lighting. The staff made sure guests were guided from wedding to reception. We appreciated everything and were glad to discover that Andrea & other staff were already well known for their excellent event management! We met the couple who had their wedding the night before & they told us they had a good experience too.

The Experience of a Lifetime

Beautiful, classy and fun. That's how guests described our wedding at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. In the middle of a pandemic we were able to host an outdoor wedding that will be talked about for years to come. On a 127-acre nature preserve, the Chattahoochee Nature Center offered us the privacy and flexibility we needed to host an intimate wedding outdoors. The venue could not have been more beautiful and Fabiola, Andrea and the rest of the crew were knowledgeable, helpful, thoughtful, sweet and just a great group of people to work with. We could not have asked for a better location, or a better staff to make our dream wedding come true.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Karen of Chattahoochee Nature Center is a joy to work with. She is very much involved in creating an experience for any event, particularly the wedding that I photographed at the Chattahoochee Nature Center venue. Everything was very well coordinated, and even followed up with me post-wedding to continue collaborating. I would certainly recommend this venue for any bride looking for an outdoor venue. It was even pretty in October, closer to the cooler months!
