Glendalough Manor is one of the most beautiful venues in the metro area. Whoever designed did a great job. I've photographed a couple of weddings there. If you're considering Glendalough keep these things in mind. They photograph up to 4 weddings on a busy summer day so keep that in mind if you want to feel like it's your day.That can cause a bit of confustion for guests if they come too early/late or wander into the wrong ballroom. It also leaves room for comparison of your wedding to someone elses. You're assigned a coordinator and I haven't met a bad one yet. They run a strict timeline since they have several weddings to juggle. It's fine but you cannot be late. Seriously. I've seen brides upset because they didn't get enough time to take portraits on the grounds. But they were late so they really can't get too mad. The coordinators will do the best they can to accomodate you but they won't infringe upon another bride's time. Other than that, they really do treat their brides well, They have one the largest dressing rooms (2 actually) I've seen. So there's plenty of room for you, your bridesmaids, mua, hairdressers, photographers, videographers, assistants. There's a nice floor mirror so you can see yourself full length in your gown. When you arrive in your dressing room, there will be snacks, water & soda waiting for you. And after the ceremony, you, your party and family will go to the back while your guests are escorted inside. They will also have hor d'houerves for you will the area clears out so you can start your portraits.

The best thing about this venue, is that when you book the time for your event they automatically include a wedding planner in the price. This makes it extremely helpful for someone like me who had no idea how to plan a wedding. It is basically hassle free and the price is beyond reasonable since it's a little south of Atlanta. They do their own catering and it was beyond good. They have a few different ballrooms and outside facilities that work for almost any size group. It was a fairy tale. The staff really goes above and beyond the call of duty. They have an extensive vendor list, which really takes all the work off the bride. They also handle the direct payments to the vendors and allow you to make monthly payments to them online. The website had plenty of pricing and option lists, I knew exactly what I wanted before I even made the first phone call. It really is a wonderful place to have an extremely beautiful, stress free wedding. Especially since I am not drowning in wedding debt!
