If that’s your idea of the perfect wedding, we’ve listed the 5 Best Intimate Wedding Venues in Atlanta below. Just because you’re going small, doesn’t mean you have compromise in taste or beauty. These 5 locations are all different, yet each one is spectacular in its own way.
#1 – The Cotton Warehouse
Located just outside Atlanta in Monroe, this venue is one that’s tough to beat. This 130 year old warehouse is a trip back in time. The 6,000 sq. foot building has exposed brick walls, beams, rafters, and a gorgeous garden. The venue is unique, but one guests won’t soon forget. Although The Cotton Warehouse has the capability of holding up to 350 guests, they are happy to work with small, intimate parties. This rustic venue offers a wide range of food to choose from, a bar, and plenty of parking.
#2 – The Houston Mill House
Oak trees over 100 years old and beautiful gardens put The Houston Mill House on the list at #2. This venue has been hosting weddings since the 1920s and offers immaculate, tended gardens, an elegant wedding gazebo, and a great selection of food for smaller parties. Food can be served in style by servers or the bride and groom can opt for a buffet. Indoors and out, the feel of The Houston Mill House is one of elegant simplicity, perfect for a smaller wedding.
#3 – The Gardens at Great Oaks
What makes The Gardens at Great Oaks special is that potential wedding parties can walk the entire grounds and decide on the perfect spot for their special day. Not only are there larger gardens, but there are smaller, more intimate gardens that suit a small wedding party perfectly. This venue is well over 100 years old and has that old time charm and beauty. Also, The Gardens at Great Oaks only has one wedding a day, so you don’t have to compete for attention with other guests.
#4 – Washington Grass Inn
The Washington Grass Inn offers a smaller venue for wedding parties. They have an all inclusive option that takes care of all the details from the photography right down to the cake.

#5 – Rhodes Hall
Rhodes Hall was built in 1904 and is a great backdrop for spectacular wedding photos. Although this venue can accommodate up to 70 guests, smaller parties are welcome and can have a much more intimate feel. Often referred to as The Castle on Peachtree, this museum is classy and charming, making it the perfect small wedding venue. This charming building is perfect for any smaller wedding.
