Ballrooms
3 Atlanta venues that fit, with guests and setting from each venue, and a photographer's notes on how they look.
| Venue | Town | Guests | Setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fox Theatre | Midtown | Up to 600 | Indoor and outdoor |
| The Biltmore Ballrooms | Midtown | Up to 500 | Indoor |
| 103 West | Buckhead | Up to 500 | Indoor |
When the guest list is long and you want a room that feels like an occasion, Atlanta has ballrooms with chandeliers and Palladian windows and a theater with its own ballroom and grand rooms. These are indoor first, so the weather never decides your day.
In a ballroom I photograph the room before the doors open, then work the dance floor from the edges so the chandeliers stay in the frame. Twenty minutes outside at sunset gives you the natural light photographs to go with the grand ones.
The Venues
Midtown · Up to 600
The historic Peachtree Street theatre rents its ballrooms, lobbies and, on rare dates, the auditorium for weddings from small ceremonies to receptions for hundreds. The Egyptian Ballroom is the showpiece, and the Grand Salon next door opens onto a terrace for a ceremony or cocktail hour. The newer Marquee Club looks down on the famous marquee and has a rooftop conservatory.
Midtown · Up to 500
Two restored ballrooms inside the 1924 Biltmore Hotel building in Midtown, each with its own pre-function room, catering kitchen and restrooms at opposite ends of the building. The Georgian is the larger room with columns and crystal chandeliers, and the Imperial has blue and ivory plaster ceilings over a recessed wood floor. Couples can book one ballroom or both.
Buckhead · Up to 500
Two separate ballrooms on Buckhead's West Paces Ferry Road across from The St. Regis, near the Atlanta History Center. Each has its own pre-function room, built in bar and adjustable lighting, so cocktail hour stays apart from dinner. The whole building can be bought out for 500 or more guests.
Fox Theatre publishes the biggest number, up to 600 guests. The smallest that publishes a count is 103 West, up to 500.
2 of the 3 do. Fox Theatre, The Biltmore Ballrooms list a price on their own site, and the rest quote by date.
None of them publish a rain plan online, so ask each one for the backup room in writing and walk it on your tour.
Yes. I photograph and film weddings all over Atlanta. Check your date and tell me which venue you are looking at.
