SCAD Ivy Hall is truly one of my favorite wedding/event venues. A beautifully restored Victorian-era mansion in the center of Atlanta, you might be forgiven for thinking it's stuffy and staid, but nothing could be further from the truth. Some venues don't let you even look at the furniture, and god forbid you'd actually sit on or use anything.

Can't wait to go...

As a venue, the rules and guidelines are sensible and allow for a lot of creativity! The SCAD team was super responsive and accommodating. Can’t recommend...

I never had a wedding like this, but it’s probably one of the best weddings I’ve ever attended...
