Banquet Hall Wedding Venues in Athens

The Classic Center was wonderful both Emily (wedding coordinator) and Meredith (catering consultant) were great to work with! Emily made sure that the whole day ran smoothly and I wasn't worried with one detail that day. It was wonderful how they prepared our food and drinks for us so that we could actually sneak some food in. It was so great to work with professionals who were there every step of the way to make sure I was not stressed that day!

We rented the Day Chapel for our wedding day. It was a small wedding in July. The Chapel was nice and cool for our guests and it was easy to set up everything ourselves. There was plenty of room for a dance floor and guests to sit and eat. The caterer's already knew the drill because the chapel has a list that they use. We also didn't have to worry about visitors to the garden interrupting our wedding.

We couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else! Live Wire is a family owned business with a true family feel. All of their staff were incredible leading up to and on our big day. As an Athens local it was incredible to get to regularly visit Live Wire at their public events (shout out to Tiki Taco Tuesday) as it made the space feel like home. If you are looking for a unique venue for an amazing party - this is the spot!!

We cannot say enough good things about Georgian Hall—it made our wedding day truly magical! The food was unbelievable; so many guests told us it was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding. The catering team absolutely knocked it out of the park. Working with the planning team made everything stress-free. Maddie McCullough, our in-house coordinator, was phenomenal—organized, calm, and always one step ahead. Calley and Lindsey were also a huge help, and you can tell the whole team genuinely loves what they do. The vendor recommendations were all top-notch, and the stunning historic venue created such an elegant atmosphere without needing much extra décor. Booking Georgian Hall was the best decision we made. If you’re considering it—do it!

Oh my goodness!! I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to work with Calley and her team to make my daughter’s wedding reception so beautiful and special! I felt like the communication was top notch and Calley helped me think through everything! They know what they are doing! And the food is to die for!! I had guest coming up to me all night telling me it was the best wedding reception food they had ever had!! If you are having a wedding in Athens or close by…do it here!!

We had our daughter’s reception at The Veranda. We planned this event in about 4 weeks. When I say they were on the ball – they were on the ball. Summerlin and Gary answered questions quickly. They gave us an impromptu tour. Both venues are beautiful. We went with the Veranda as we were looking for a smaller more intimate place as we only had 70 people. If you haven’t seen the Veranda, it is awesome. Such a beautiful place. A little more casual which is what we were looking for. It has a few stained glass windows that were perfect for family pictures. After dark, the lighting outside is just beautiful. From the contract emails to us leaving Sunday night – everything went smoothly. All the staff were very helpful. We were thankful for being allowed to drop off some items a couple of days ahead of time. We loved using the beautiful bridal suite next door at the Venue for the day. Our guests were also impressed with the staff and the bartenders. If we needed something while at our event– Joe and Summerlin would take care of it immediately. We received many comments about how good the food was (Saucehouse). We choose the tenderloin and chicken. The fried chicken was some of the best I have ever had. Sides and appetizers were also great! We appreciated being able to bring in our own cake as well. You can’t go wrong using the Veranda. Very, very nice place with awesome food and people.
