Summerour Studio — Attraction in Atlanta

We've photographed a lot of weddings at Summerour Studio and have some insider tips to share with couples interested in getting married there! Here are a few things you should know if you're considering a wedding at Summerour Studio:

1. The courtyard is STUNNING and definitely the main feature of Summerour Studio! As photographers we love using the courtyard for the first look, couple photos, wedding party and family photos.

2. There are multiple options for ceremony locations including indoors and outdoors. The most common location is indoors facing the staircase. When choosing your ceremony location be aware that there is a dog boarding facility nearby, so outdoor ceremonies may have barking in the background.

3. There are holding rooms but not necessarily spaces for getting ready at the venue. Most couples get ready and have hair and makeup done at nearby hotels, we recommend Loews. BUT we do recommend getting into your wedding attire at Summerour, as the sun room is stunning for photos.

4. Sunset at Summerour is not to be missed! Plan your day to catch sunset for your newlywed photos. Your photographer should help you planning a timeline for the best lighting, but be sure to plan your ceremony about 1.5-2 hours prior to sunset and leave sunset for your portraits for the best photos.

Hope this helps! As wedding photographers we absolutely love shooting at Summerour- it's definitely the BEST venue in Atlanta if you want...

Let me begin by saying that it was great working with Monica. She was timely, easy reach responsive, and an advocate for us throughout the process of our eventually canceled wedding. The same, however, cannot be said for management/ownership who was unwilling to refund us our money. Despite having a force majeure, clause we had to fight to get a 50% refund from them. There were no services rendered yet they still felt entitled to our money. The only other options presented to us were to re-schedule for Q1 2021 (only Fridays and Sundays available) when we reserved a Saturday 13 months in advance or to forfeit our deposit if we wanted to rebook for later in 2021, even one year from our August 2020 date. I even tried to reason with them explaining that as a frontline healthcare worker (ER doc) I was concerned about my high risk of exposure and subsequent exposure of our guests and vendors at the wedding. No luck. Summerour/Novare Events was happy to take our money, but absolutely unwilling to honor their own contract, which clearly states that we are entitled to a full refund if we are unable to hold our wedding for reasons outside of our control. Do yourself a favor- find a different venue that will respect you and your hard earned money if things don’t go as planned (like...

Here to just confirm all of the accolades Summerour has in the listed reviews. My daughter and son in law were married here in July '24. The grounds, the rooms, the hall were extraordinary. If you plan a meal here, you must use their caterer. From the menu selections to the tasting with the Chef and the actual day; the food rivaled any Michelin 5 Star meal I've ever had. Our coordinator championed our daughter's needs as well as the entire wedding party. The wait staff and all the personnel work tirelessly with your florist, DJ, photographer and others to ensure a frictionless experience. The next door Dog Kennel, will ensure the pups are quiet during the ceremony and needed quiet times. That's a good neighbor.

As a retired portrait and wedding photographer, I can tell you this venue has every conceivable award winning photo location you can dream of.

If you are here, you know this venue will not be inexpensive. Is it worth that investment? Yes. You'll have the memories and the photos to prove it. Highly...
