Indulge in Elegance
Have you always imagined a sophisticated wedding day? This is one of the best Atlanta wedding venues to make that dream come true.
The ballroom, complete with wooden floors, is spacious and able to hold up to 300 people for a reception. Your large number of guests will be amazed at the space as they dance under the chandeliers all evening long.
Sneak to other areas of the building for wedding photos with your partner. Catch a kiss by the marble exteriors of the elevators. Share a sip of champagne by the large glass windows overlooking the city.
Needless to say, you'll have no regrets about choosing this venue.
Looking for Something a Bit Smaller?
The Capital City Club is one of the best wedding venues in Atlanta because it offers the large ballroom and smaller rooms for more intimate wedding receptions. Don't worry. They're just as elegant.
The Venetian, Bobby Dodd, and Peachtree Rooms are all able to hold up to 100 guests for a reception. If your reception includes 50 people or less, you're able to use the Capital Room.
All rooms are complete with chandeliers, timeless decor, and stylish ceiling trim.
Are you hosting a rehearsal dinner with family members and the bridal parties? Use a smaller room for your pre-wedding dinner before using the ballroom for your reception!
What's Included?
The Capital City Country Club Atlanta private event team guarantees your special day is everything you want it to be.
A wedding package includes setup and breakdown of the event, an event director, a custom menu and servers, concierge services for the guests, and complimentary valet. Their team allows you to sit back and relax.
If you'd like their team to handle the decorations, you have the choice between black or white tablecloths. They're also able to provide candle centerpieces and glassware, silverware, and plates.
Are you also hosting your ceremony at the venue? Those hosting a ceremony have access to a bridal suite.
The wedding venue also offers the choice of bar service at $15 per guest. They offer house liquors, wines, and beers and are even able to create a personalized drink for your celebration.

Planning Your Big Day
Luckily for those hosting their ceremony and/or reception at the Capital City Club, your food and drinks are taken care of! But what about the rest?
Let's dive deeper into what else needs to be done for a picture-perfect wedding day.
Wedding Entertainment
No wedding is complete without entertainment. Hire a band or DJ to keep guests moving and grooving all night long.
Don't forget to leave plenty of room for the dance floor, and install exciting flashing lights to bump up the party even more. You can even hand out glowsticks to guests as they enter the reception.
Fun Wedding Photos
Besides an area to dance, set up a photo booth area complete with a fun backdrop and plenty of props. Hire a photographer to digitally take and distribute photos of guests, or use a company that's able to print the photos on site.
Arrange other subtle photo opportunities in the reception area using balloon arches and decorative floral arrangements.
Keeping Kids in Mind
Will children be in attendance? Have some kid-friendly activities ready to go.
Create a kid zone that's complete with fizzy, non-alcoholic drinks, small coloring pages and crayons, and small bites such as crackers. This way, the kids have somewhere to hang out if they become restless and bored.
Just make sure to keep an eye on the kids to guarantee they aren't messing with the venue's personal property. Alert all parents they're responsible for their child while at your reception.
