Unique Indoor/Outdoor experience

We booked this venue and Ms. Donna has given us the absolute best experience. We couldn't have asked for more to this point. I am very confident that everything will go right on our special day! Can't wait to see this through. The venue is even more amazing in person. We met for our walkthrough and I wish I could just fast forward to the wedding!!! 😆 I would definitely recommend the Millennium Gate Museum if you are looking to have an amazing AND unique outdoor experience!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Used venue twice.

AMAZING!!! The venue is very pretty. Donna is awesome to work with. I got married there in an intimate ceremony on the upstairs terrace with 14 guests. 3 months later we had a garden party reception with about 150 guests on the lawn there and it was awesome. This is place is so pretty for the price and its in a great part of town.

Beautiful Wedding!

Our wedding was so beautiful. It was held on the upstairs terrace and had about 50 chairs.
Donna who is the event coordinator is excellent. We had been working with her well over a year with the wedding and she offered to help us in every way that she could.

Working with Donna at the Millennium Gate Museum was such a pleasure! She was always very responsive and professional. And she paid attention to the details I requested for my wedding ceremony. With her assistance, the day turned out beautiful and everything went as planned. I couldn't have asked for a better person to assist with my event.

This is a gorgeous venue!!! It has plenty of beauty for the perfect pictures and overall ambience for a romantic wedding. However, I wouldn’t recommend this venue for the small elopement type wedding. While this venue host beautiful weddings on a bigger scale, for $500 bucks (their cost for an intimate
ceremony), you get one hour to exchange vows on the oval lawn or the terrace outside, you can go inside if it rain...chairs...that’s about all. In my research for an elopement rental, I found $500 could get you more at venue such as The Atlanta Botanical Gardens. The coordinator was very flexible with my last minute changes, including a change within 24hrs however, she came off “snappy” in an email where I expressed my feelings of my actual day to her when asked to review. See due to my date change, she wasn’t able to be there but she assured me someone would still be onsite to assist me. That morning, no one was there to greet me, say hello... nothing. She explained in her email that there is only one person onsite and if people are inside the museum, they couldn’t’ leave the museum. However, the gentleman that was there saw me on the camera and knew not to ask me to leave, according to her. Let me put it like this.... the venue sits in Atlantic Station next to a park... if you and your mate decided to get dress, meet at the park, only foots away from the museum, exchange vows and take pictures, honestly the backdrop is still the same, the only difference is, you’re not physically on the museum property and it’s free! I tried to explain this to her from my perspective as the customer however she explained that they enforce nuptials exchanged on their property and large group photography. I didnt even get invited inside the museum however at the end of her snappy email she did wish my husband and I well and offered my family and I to come back to tour the museum for free. PS their preferred photographer Carissa Boles is amazing!! She made my day absolutely amazing!!

I did not actually have my reception at the venue, only my ceremony. It is a beautiful place and I'm glad that we chose Millennium Gate! Our wedding planner had some challenges with the staff during our planning phase but thankfully everything was able to be worked out. Overall, we really loved the venue and I'm glad that we chose it for our wedding ceremony.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
