Recommendations

Excellent Venue!!! — An Eventective User from Atlanta, GA
Fernbank is the perfect location for your special event. We hosted my husband's 50th birthday party here. Everything was excellent. Sarah and her team are easy to work with and accommodating. When the weather interrupted our original outdoor plans, the team immediately changed course with no hesitation. This party was a big hit! We are still receiving compliments. Thanks Fernbank for making our event a success!
Best Wedding Location — An Eventective User from Atlanta,GA
I will start by saying "breath-taking". From the visuals, the service and the location, this was all around the best wedding event I have attended. The Fern Bank Museum is in the heart of downtown Atlanta. The city with so many things to do if your visiting for the wedding. The Fern bank was surrounded by art and many beautiful scenery for the wedding of my friend. They made it a night to remember not only for the bride and groom but for all there guest. I am so planning my wedding here next year.
