First, I would like to thank everyone that has supported us and contributed to our big day. The idea to create dollar for a wedding was to allow our friends and family to become a part of the planning and contribute to our love. We never imagined that we would receive so much love and support from people we did not know. This has been a crazy ride and we are getting more support then we could ever imagine. So, thank you because without your help this day could not be possible.

Ok now for the decision of the day. We have only 37 days away and I need your help. We have decided that Atlanta will be the wedding location due to family getting to Destin and the short time to plan. I have posted 3 options for our wedding venue. Please let me know which one you think fits our personality.

Option 1: Loft at Castleberry

I love this venue. It is so beautiful and centrally located for everyone. It is a little over the budget but I think it fits our personality. The staff is very friendly and supportive.  The negative side is we have to use their bar and bartender instead of providing our own. http://www.loftatch.com

Option 2: The Solarium

This place has its own character. It is the old Scottish Rite Hospital built in 1918. It would give our wedding a very unique setting and it is located in one of the cutest neighborhoods in Atlanta. The negative side is the location may be more suited for a traditional wedding. http://www.thesolarium.com

Option 3: The Ellis Hotel

The Ellis is a new boutique style hotel in Downtown Atlanta. Absolutely beautiful! This venue will give the wedding a more upscale look and feel. The negative side is parking. Our guest will have to valet or park in a nearby parking garage.

I have visited all three locations and they are pretty much the same in price.  Post your comments today to help me decide.

I love them all, but I see you in more of an urban, modern setting. I am leaning toward The Loft or The Ellis Hotel.

I like the Loft at Castleberry. I attended a birthday party there and it was great.

I love option 2 for a more traditional wedding, but option #3 is great for a chic, but trendy place. Furthermore is it better for the budget? I think e would be more than happy to valet on your day.

Hi Guys!

My vote goes to the Solarium. Although the others are very contemporary and chic, which I love, the Solarium has a romantic ambiance I think will make your wedding memorable. I really like this space!
