Top Ballroom Wedding Venues in Atlanta

There is a reason many fairytales feature a ballroom scene: there is just something about them that feels so grand, so special, so RIGHT! And while they aren’t for everyone, there are for many couples that seek something classic. However, “ballrooms” have come a long way- you can find modern, contemporary, traditional, industrial and many more styles to suite your vision. What many ballrooms have in common is the spacious quality they provide. Often with high ceilings, beautiful architectural details and an open floor plan, they’re a “blank slate” waiting to be transformed into your perfect wedding day! 

Southern Exchange Ballrooms

I LOVE the Southern Exchange Ballrooms! MEP couple Hanna + Reese hosted their elegant, glamorous wedding here and it was a jaw-dropper! This tops the list for me if you’re searching for a sophisticated, timeless gathering.  

“Designed by Philip Shutze, Atlanta’s famous classical architect, 200 Peachtree Street officially opened in 1927 as the Davison’s department store before becoming known as the iconic Macy’s. The main entrance on Peachtree featured a very stately marble-floored cosmetics and jewelry area, which is now the Whitehall Ballroom of Southern Exchange.“ 

Features four distinct venues: Whitehall, Grant Loft, Davison, Augusta

Biltmore Ballrooms

The word opulent comes to mind when defining Biltmore Ballrooms. Listed on The National Register of Historic Places, the Biltmore Ballroom features original handcrafted plaster relief ceilings, restored crystal chandeliers, Palladian windows and Tennessee marble floors.  

Two distinct venues: The Imperial Ballroom At The Biltmore And The Georgian Ballroom At The Biltmore

Renaissance Atlanta Midtown

A traditional hotel ballroom, with a twist!  The shining star of the Renaissance Atlanta Midtown is without a doubt, their rooftop! The spacious, sweeping skyline view is not just noteworthy, but ideal for alfresco ceremonies and/or receptions.  They also have great “glam rooms” for the wedding day prep (always a bonus when you can get ready on-site). 

Multiple venue choices: High Ballroom + Alliance Lounge, Pre-Function Foyer, Rowdy Tiger Rooftop, Rooftop Garden

Intercontinental Buckhead

If you want a ballroom that is extravagant and regal, the Intercontinental Buckhead. This luxurious hotel & wedding venue offers a dedicated ceremony space, as well as two reception options.   Accommodations on-site and in-house catering.  Bonus, this is a kosher venue! If you want convenience and style, the Intercontinental delivers.

Ritz Carlton Atlanta

If your vision is a contemporary ballroom- the Ritz Atlanta is your venue!  Featuring elaborate wood moldings, architectural accents and crystal chandeliers for days, it’s the ultimate modern luxury. Not to mention, the service is superb and it’s so nice to have accommodations on-site!
