There is something so magical about manor weddings: the sweeping rooms, the lush gardens. Everything feels positively dreamy with hardly any effort. As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I spend a lot of time getting a backstage look at some of the best estates around. If you’re looking for the perfect romantic manor for your day, I would love to tell you everything you can expect with a Wimbish House wedding!
About The Wimbish House Wedding Venue
1150 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30309
The Wimbish House is a historic estate wedding venue located in Midtown Georgia. From the very beginning, the house was a show of splendor. William A Wimbish, the man who had it commissioned, was a prominent attorney who wanted to show off his family’s wealth. He used one of the best contemporary architects to create a luxurious space that was built to last. The French Renaissance home is now owned by The Atlanta Woman’s Club. It has been recognized repeatedly as one of the best wedding venues in the city.
Details of the Grounds
The Wimbish House tends to be favored for indoor wedding ceremonies. The ballroom is a bright white room with intricate windows, gilded details, and a rounded ceiling. For those who would prefer an intimate outdoor ceremony, the covered veranda is available.
The ballroom makes for a positively divine reception space! Your guests will get to enjoy delicious food before dancing beneath elegant chandeliers.
The covered veranda is the ideal spot for a cocktail hour. Your guests can enjoy signature cocktails in the lush gardens. If you would prefer to get out of the hot Georgia sun, you can speak to the venue about using one of their many rooms for this portion of your day.
You and your partner will have designated rooms inside the mansion where you can get ready before your ceremony begins. Put on the finishing touches while relaxing over a glass of champagne!
The Wimbish House can hold up to 150 seated wedding guests and up to 250 standing guests.
The interior of the mansion is bright and airy, with white walls and elegant gold details. The front porch leads into the house and is surrounded by verdant shrubs. The stairs lead into the covered veranda, giving your guests a place to socialize before your event.
Photography Opportunities
The gardens surrounding the Wimbish House are ideal for individual and couple wedding portraits. With pictures in front of the manor, you’ll have a truly iconic backdrop! There are also quiet covered walkways for intimate kisses or first looks. Inside, you’ll have staircases that are perfect for showing off your gown.
Wedding Details
The Wimbish House is within walking distance of several hotels, giving your wedding guests multiple options for lodging. For food, they let you bring in outside caterers so you can build your perfect feast. You’ll have wedding staff, chairs and tables, and access to two baby grand pianos.
