Our two-story southern mansion, considered a Greek Revival, was built in 1840 and sits on nearly 4 acres, much of which a formal boxwood garden, perfect for receptions beneath a string of lights. The inside of the home has hardwood floors, crown molding and chandeliers, with a beautiful stained glass entry into our twelve foot wide hallway. The gorgeous curving staircase takes brides onto the second floor and out the balcony overlooking the front lawn for that picturesque view. Our ceilings are fourteen feet tall, and our bridal suite has a beautiful marble fireplace with access to a private bath with clawfoot tub. We offer two separate dressing suites for the couple, with plenty of space to move around for the wedding parties, and to keep the couple from seeing one another until they are ready! What happens outside these walls is where the day unfolds. Our venue offers a multitude of ceremony location options, including the front steps of our Southern Mansion, with 6 fluted columns and a granduer presence. Our front lawn delivers an open space with a circular hedge surrounding a fountain, on a quiet street with minimal traffic. If you prefer a more nature driven option, our backyard hosts a 25,000 sq foot formal boxwood garden, as well as a beautiful wide row of paired pecan trees with an open view of nature. In case of inclement weather, we also offer our Belvedere, our open-air gallery in the rear of the property, complete with string lights along the roof-line and an oversized farm table and bar. The Belvedere will hold up to 100 guests with our inclusive round table setup. Guests over this count must include an added tent rental if weather indicates such is needed. Our venue can host upwards of 300 guests with add-on options! While we feel the most beautiful reception space would take place with linen draped tables within the boxwood garden, we invite you to tour the grounds yourself to create your own vision. We have various decor pieces available, we partner with many rental companies, and offer a day-of venue coordinator/decorator to work with your planner to help the events unfold smoothly with every wedding. Add-on options of planning, vendors and more, are available. As established photographers & film-makers (www.thisisyou.net) in the Atlanta market for over a decade, we're excited to bring our knowledge of what makes a beautiful venue transform into beautiful photos to everyone who decides to marry at Englund Estate. While we welcome you to bring the majority of your favorite vendors in, we do have a list of preferred vendors that we can recommend for ease if need be. We also have a list of catering options we request you choose from. If you instead have a caterer you love that you'd like to bring in for their first time here, they must sign a vendor waiver form along with their insurance information, and you will be required to pay a vendor fee of $400 + day of liability insurance. This fee/form is not required for our list of preferred caterers.
