To our valued clients,

On behalf of the Private Events team, thank you for your patience and support as we continue to navigate the uncharted waters of COVID-19.

The safety of our clients and staff is our utmost priority and we wanted to wait until it was safe for everyone to return to our beautiful spaces. We can assure you that we have been and will continue to be thoughtful and responsible in our approach while keeping our focus on the safety our clients, guests and event staff.

While we have always followed strict sanitation guidelines, we have implemented several additional safety precautions recommended by local, state and federal governments, as well as the CDC designed to combat the spread of COVID-19. We will continue to monitor all information as it is released and adhere to state issued government mandates.

Host an unforgettable social gathering or have a memorable wedding ceremony at the historic venue setting.

Enjoy a spectacular evening in the Grand Overlook ballroom featuring a barrel vaulted ceiling, Brazilian cherry-wood floors and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the illuminated wooded Quarry Garden. This well-known Atlanta event venue can host standing receptions up to 750 guests as well as seated dinners for 500 and 400 for dinner and dancing.

Your guests can begin their evening in our recently renovated atrium then tour our award-winning exhibitions while sipping a libation and enjoying learning about Southern history. The Museum is a splendid event venue in its own respect, but can be combined with the Grand Overlook ballroom as well.

McElreath Hall is one of our most versatile spaces where a sky-lit atrium creates a welcoming entrance for the Members Room, our boutique ballroom and the 400 seat Woodruff Auditorium.
