The Tess, Autograph Collection is a boutique wedding destination in the heart of Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood, where Southern grace finds its modern expression. Layered interiors, artful details, skyline views, and warm, intuitive hospitality create a setting that feels less like a traditional venue and more like a beautifully curated Buckhead residence. With more than 7,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, The Tess offers an inspired backdrop for celebrations that feel personal, polished, and entirely your own.

Facilities and Capacity

Your celebration can begin long before the ceremony, with spacious guest rooms and suites offering a comfortable setting for getting ready with your closest friends and family. When it is time to say “I do,” the open-air ballroom terrace pairs the moment with sweeping views of the Atlanta skyline.

From there, cocktails and conversation can flow naturally into the pre-function space before guests gather in the Ballroom for dinner and dancing. The hotel’s largest event space accommodates celebrations of up to 415 guests, with floor-to-ceiling windows filling the room with natural light and a warm, sophisticated palette that offers a beautiful canvas for each couple’s vision.

For quieter moments between the festivities, The Study offers an intimate retreat with comfortable lounge seating and a double-sided fireplace, inviting guests to settle in, reconnect, and stay awhile.

Services Offered

At The Tess, every wedding is approached with warmth, curiosity, and care. The hotel’s Wedding and Social Curators work closely with each couple to shape a celebration that reflects their story, from the flow of the day to the details around the table.

The culinary team creates menus tailored to the occasion, bringing together artful presentation, inspired flavors, and the spirit of Atlanta’s dynamic dining scene. Crafted cocktails and considered service complete the experience, whether the celebration calls for a rooftop toast, an elegant rehearsal dinner, or a brunch that lingers into the afternoon.

With beautifully designed accommodations available onsite, friends and family can make a full Buckhead stay of the occasion. At The Tess, the wedding is more than a single moment. It is a collection of conversations, celebrations, and memories brought together with modern Southern hospitality.
