My husband and I got married in October of 2025 and we are so happy that we got married at the Historic Dekalb Courthouse. It was so beautiful and perfect. Mallory was amazing and went above and beyond to help us. The courthouse is a perfect place to get married. The outside and inside are stunning and the perfect backdrop for photos. We love Decatur and this was the best venue ever for us.

We booked Agnes Scott for our daughter’s wedding in May 2024. Rita and her staff went above and beyond in every way. I agree with other reviewers that you need to read every document carefully and ask questions, but the staff is very knowledgeable and answered questions quickly and accurately. We provided details on what we were looking for and the first estimate was transparent, and spot on. We saw real value, and over the top service, for every dollar spent. The only hiccup we had was the bar staff. Being a school, they use an outside service. The bartenders were very inexperienced and could not pull off simple signature drinks. I would stick with wine, beer, and seltzers which would have been absolutely fine. Ultimately, the grounds and the room were absolutely stunning, and the food lived up to all the revues. The space allows for plenty of tables and a huge dance floor--which was very important to the bride and groom. We had endless compliments on every aspect. It certainly had that magical feeling you look for.

Everything was fantastic. To the staff, the food, the vibes, the experience — highly recommend

We celebrated our wedding at The Solarium and it was wonderful. I probably emailed the staff there 3-4 times a week in the last month as we approached the big day, and they were always super responsive. If you’re looking for a laid-back yet beautiful venue, this is the right place for you! Thank you to the team for making our wedding such an enjoyable experience!

This house, while not elaborate, is named for the Confederate woman who lived there her whole life...she is famed for writing a diary that showed what it was like for women and small homesteads during the Civil War period and during Reconstruction. There is a couch where legend has it that Gen. McPherson (the local Army base = Fort McPherson/Fort Mac) laid upon as he was stitched up. It needs some work now, but... The Junior League now owns the house. They provided tables for outdoor and indoor seating. We hired a DJ (Vanessa the DJ; 678-851-3497) with her own sound system. I emailed a playlist, and she provided every song by every artist I indicated; including Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne and Consuelo Velázquez as well as Motown, Stax-Volt, Aretha, etc--we are old) We also hired a caterer, Keith Hand (770-402-7673) Not only was the food great, but his staff were very professional while being friendly. We had an open bar outside, and enough light that people didn't wander off unescorted. The League supplied tables for food and cutlery (we used our own) Best of all, the House's Kimberley (404-378-2162) was incredibly responsive to all of our visits (can we do this? Is that moveable? etc) The poor woman was cheerful and not at ALL surprised or troubled by the fact that this was a smae-sex marriage reception (the actual wedding was elsewhere, earlier in the year) May was the perfect time--no bugs, lovely temperature--but there is no reason why you can't have citronella candles and fans outside (interior is air conditioned) There are several bathrrooms, places to display pictures, and a full kitchen, EASY access from the street, including ramps for wheelies. The interior could use some work--it's a litle bit bare-bones--but very clean, with gleaming wood work. You get the place from 15:00 - 23:00, so think about time for set ups, and when you neeed to take everything down (we had put up strings of lights, foam board pix of us over the years, balloons, etc) Price = $1450 The large back room can have multiple tables for seated parties, but the real magic of the place is the outdoor patio behind the house.

Madeleine was very professional and attentive to all our needs. Moore Chapel was the perfect venue for us. We loved the grounds, they were the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos. This venue provided us with all the space needed to have our wedding, Chapel, reception hall, bridal suite and a grooms suite. Our guest complimented us on the transition from the chapel to the reception hall. We would Highly recommend this Venue you will not be disappointed. Our wedding day was beautiful and very thing went smoothly.

The venue is stunning, steeped with gorgeous detailed work of a historic building.. it takes your breath away seeing it in person. Our 120 guest wedding had so much space and room still — spacious and grand!

Our event was perfect! Everyone was so easy to work with and made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. Extra special thanks to Ashley, Scott, the Chef and most importantly Johnny for making it a night to remember. We’ve had nothing but rave reviews about the venue and the AMAZING food! Thank you again for everything!
