Ivy Hall

wedding. 2020 was not the ideal time to plan a wedding, but Margaret and everyone at Ivy Hall made it easy and fun. We couldn't have been happy with our choice to get married at Ivy Hall!

, and we received many compliments on our choice of venue. We worked with Margaret for the reception and Colleen for the ceremony. Margaret delivered an amazing customer experience. From hosting us on our initial venue tour, through event planning and finally through the reception itself, she was consistently available for us and managed all our details seamlessly. You can tell that Margaret loves what she does, and she is exceptionally good at it! Colleen was also wonderful to work with! She made sure our wedding party was prepared for the ceremony, ready for pictures and helped us transition to the reception easily. Everything went smoothly and was beautiful. No issues, no worries, whatever was needed the Events Catering staff took care of it! Our daughter's wedding ceremony and reception were beautiful, memorable, and so much fun!!

very professional, fun and friendly! We were originally booked for May 2nd but postponed to July 31st. Our headcount dropped considerably (from 210 to 140) but we are very grateful we were able to make this happen - and we're all covid-free on day 12! Two more days and homefree!!

y-of. The venue owners are very budget-friendly and proactively offered ways to help us save money throughout the process. I was overall very impressed with the quality of the food and beverage service.

food offered was delicious. There was not one thing that I tried at the tasting that was bad. Third, the venue is absolutely gorgeous!! Whether you're getting married in the height of summer or dead of winter, you're going to have a beautiful back drop for some amazing photos. If I had to do it over again, I would still pick Ivy Hall as our venue.

and an answer absolutely every question I could come up with!!! She constantly kept in touch throughout the wedding planning process and so did all the other employees of Ivy Hall- Events Catering! The venue not only had impeccable staff but the venue itself was stunning! I still have people raving about “how much fun and gorgeous” our wedding was!!! Don’t look anywhere else - number one spot right here!

to wedding planning, the staff at Ivy Hall/Events Catering took care of EVERYTHING for us! The entire planning process from start to finish was seamless, and our wedding day went off without a hitch. The staff is SO responsive and helpful and really goes above and beyond to ensure no minor detail is overlooked. I would recommend this venue and team to EVERYONE! My friends and family who have gotten married elsewhere were envious of the stress free planning experience we had all thanks to this wonderful venue. And to top it all off, it is absolutely beautiful and the food was DELICIOUS! Look no further than Ivy Hall for your wedding venue. Margaret and Collen in particular were amazing in helping us plan and execute our big day :)

! Our account manager, Linda, was so helpful and the event staff was amazing! Linda was so organized and paid attention to every detail in planning and event setup. Our guests were raving about the event space, food, staff and dance floor after our wedding. We loved our experience and definitely recommend Ivy Hall!

de vendors and lots of decor. It was a beautiful, perfect day! Margaret kept us on track and ensured we were well taken care of on our wedding day, leaving us, our bridal party and guests to really enjoy the night! We have gotten COUNTLESS compliments on the food and signature drink as well! It was all so good! I would definitely recommend Ivy Hall!

ul! The process leading up to the wedding was very helpful and efficient for finalizing plans. The client reception where we got to sample some of the food options was a great way to see the venue all set up, taste the delicious food, and talk with Linda about any questions we had. The actual day of the wedding could not have been more perfect! The staff was SO awesome and helpful, and they got everything set up flawlessly for our quite large wedding. The food was phenomenal, and we got compliments from all of our guests about how much they loved the appetizers and main course selections! We were well taken care of as the bride and groom, and we got generous portions of all of our food selections in a to-go bag to take with us after the wedding! Linda and all of the event staff were extremely friendly, hard-working, and efficient! The event went so smoothly and I am so thankful for all of the work they did to set it up better than I could’ve imagined. Again, I could not recommend Ivy Hall more!!!

and kept my husband and I up to speed with the time and how long until the next planned event (i.e. cake cutting, toasts etc.) while offering full flexibility if in the moment we wanted to deviate from the plan. I got SO MANY COMPLIMENTS from guests on the natural beauty of the venue and the comfortable layout of the room as well as the food and bar quality. Do yourself a favor and have your wedding here!

with and helped us tie in family traditions that were important to us. The day of the entire team was three steps ahead of us and knew what we needed at every moment. Couldn't have been happier with our decision to be married and host our reception at Ivy Hall!

any stress. The day went flawlessly as all Ivy Hall staff were directing me on when to do everything as well as keeping the whole night on track as far as speeches, toasts, and cake cutting. They truly made it a special day!

accommodating with meeting dates, information and any extra help we needed. Extra wishes were easily included and taken care of perfectly. They even incorporated a German wedding soup! The day of the wedding went off without any problems or delays. The help by the staff was wonderful and they made this very special day perfect.

ceremony. Knowing we had a beautiful plan B was a huge selling point for us! The staff are incredibly kind and go out of their way to make sure that everything in the process is easy and fun. I worked closely with both Linda and Margaret and they were wonderful! Ivy Hall makes a point to help you with a timeline for planing that makes the whole process seem less overwhelming. There are gorgeous spaces for pictures, plenty of room to bring your own touches/decorations, and plenty of decorations available to use there if not! The food is absolutely delicious; our guests loved it! I wasn't stressed at all on my wedding day because the staff at Ivy Hall run like a well-oiled machine and are extremely professional while doing so. So glad we spent the best day of our lives at Ivy Hall!

vy Hall assigns you an Account Manager for all the planning and prep, and at least one Event Captain for the event day. Margaret, my Account Manager, was so knowledgeable about the wedding planning process, and she shared honest and practical advice about what to do/not to do. But if you decide to go with the less practical way, she is on board too :) She coordinated my florist, DJ, cake vendor and photographer, making sure everyone was on the same page. I was not worried about anything during the entire process -- I knew they had it under control. There was no disappoint when I discovered I had to use their caterer... as their food was so delicious. They're willing to mix and match their menu to what you want. I have recommended this place to everyone I know. You should have your wedding/reception here. You won't regret it.

would choose it again and again

the catering is done in-house, that process was much easier. Our guests raved about the food, especially the pecan chicken! Pricing was another great factor. They are very reasonable with their food and bar packages. We were exceptionally pleased with how everything turned out.

have been further from the truth at Ivy Hall! My husband and I would recommend this venue 100 times if we could!

ns frequently, but maybe not?) and I had a major makeup debacle and our day-of coordinators seemed very overwhelmed and stressed out which in turn only made me feel even more horrible. I wish they would have been a little more calm to help reduce the stress. They were also pretty rude to my maid-of-honor by demanding she do a few things... luckily, my MOH is very direct and quickly replied "Isn't that your job"? So I think they got the picture. I do understand it's their job to keep things on time and moving, and they definitely did, just think maybe a more calm approach could have helped! - One of their preferred vendors - Complete Music Atlanta DJ Service - was pretty horrible. The actual DJ was AMAZING. Played a great variety of music, was entertaining and was so kind to us. However, it was a disaster regarding the outdoor uplighting and microphones for our ceremony, which they also "provided". The microphones were yanked from us about an hour before the ceremony because the company didn't do their due diligence to tell us there was an associated fee (which we would have gladly paid). We were simply told that they had mics and we could use them. The owner's wife found out right before our wedding that we hadn't paid this said-fee so she said we weren't allowed to use them. I wish that our day-of coordinator would have brought this to my attention as they informed my now-husband who just said ok to keep things moving where if I knew, I would have demanded we get to use them and they wouldn't have gotten away with it. Then the uplighting... November does not give you a sunset wedding at 7 pm. We were sold a sunset wedding and it was almost pitch black when the ceremony began - Ivy Hall was very responsive to my concerns the week leading up to the wedding when we all realized the sun would set right before our ceremony began. They offered to cover the costs of the uplighting to ensure it looked beautiful - and it did. However, they did not rent them for long enough so the same lady that took the mics from us was also taking down the lights while we were trying to take our bride/groom pictures - she is literally in the background of some of the photos. When asked if they could stay a bit longer, she responded "I have to get home, I have a sitter with my kids" - I am an understanding person, but this shouldn't have been an issue to begin with and her unwillingness to be the least bit flexible is/was unacceptable. Additionally, I wrote the owner of the company to tell him what happened and never got a response. This obviously threw off what our photographer had planned and made for a less-than desirable experience and sub-par photos.

ner. Everyone that attended our wedding mentioned how great the facility was, as well as how delicious the food was! The staff was so easy to work with. The entire day was flawless! Thank you Ivy Hall!

have to worry about anything. Our day was absolutely perfect and we highly recommend Ivy to Hall to anyone getting married in Roswell!

downstairs deck area for a fun cocktail hour with outdoor games like cornhole. Linda was our coordinator, and she was SO easy and pleasant to work with from day one. She has all the answers and was incredibly helpful in giving us pointers about the floor plan, vendors, certain decorations, etc. The only improvement that could be made to the venue (which is easier stated than done) is potentially adding a bathroom upstairs. The only bathroom is downstairs, which makes it difficult for handicap guests to access - not impossible, as they can walk/use a wheelchair down the hill outside the side of the building. But if possible, a single-person upstairs bathroom would make it much easier. All in all, Ivy Hall is a great wedding venue and I would (and already have) recommended it to friends.

ee the value. Don’t get me wrong. Weddings are expensive. We also had the Ceremony there. Table cloths, linens, hurricane candles and arbors (if your wedding is outdoors) are included. They help by giving you a list of approved vendors, all of which were excellent. Our wedding was unusual in that we originally had 225, then dropped to 165. Linda went above and beyond to help us figure out numbers. On the actual night of the wedding, Margaret ran the ceremony smoothly, the table captain Scott was awesome and made sure everything ran smoothly. I did not meet chef Craig, but the food was delicious (we had many very picky foodies at the wedding.) Everyone especially loved the brie tarts and perfectly cooked pecan chicken with dirty rice. We were able to enjoy the wedding while not worrying about details that did not get taken care of. Be advised, when it is over they clean up before you can blink your eyes. Overall, this is a venue that will leave you with good memories of your event.

setting was amazing, and it was easy having the venue take care of both catering and beverage. Our coordinator Margaret was phenomenal- she was incredibly thorough addressing every last detail and helping to accommodate requests to make our event very personal. Every question was answered in a timely manner and Ipsy appreciate the day-of support and attention to detail. The decor was set up perfectly and again, I was able to intrude complete confidence in the Ivy Hall staff which allowed me a totally stress free and fun day. I can’t thank and recommend the venue enough!

g, but it also eliminated the flexibility of choosing your own catering. But that’s the trade-off we know going in. Overall, I highly recommend this place for wedding.

ceived compliments on the food, struck a balance of dream wedding with budget realities, and had so much fun. The staff completely changed over our ceremony setup while it poured rain, and our account manager got soaked to keep me dry. GREAT: - Ceremony and Reception in a single location - Backup rain location - Ample parking in the complex - Catering, drinks, servers, linens, furniture, and basic decor all in one place - Food cooked on site (therefore it is served out from the kitchen warm and more can be made) - Experienced staff - Beautiful space including courtyard and above the Roswell Mill park for pictures - Prices on catering and beverages - MARGARET is an expert at weddings, design, a sounding board, and follows up on everything. - Can have a beautiful wedding here without doing anything additional for furniture, linens, and decor. That's major $$ saved! GOOD: - Food selection and flexibility - Try samples of food at a quarterly reception - Tried and true day-of timelines, setup/timeline suggestions, and options to personalize your wedding - Space flexibility SET YOUR EXPECTATIONS - Historic building, so the bathrooms are downstairs and the wheelchair ramps are around the side/back. If using a band, there is only one option for location. - Established processes and rules limit your choices or flexibility in some aspects (food, wine selection). This can also be helpful if you have little time or are overwhelmed by Pinterest. - Won't meet reception staff ahead of time, but they are great, experienced professionals.

the planning. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were able to sit back and enjoy our only daughter's wedding, knowing everything was being handled and taken care of. Also, the food was fabulous! So many guests came up to us raving about the food at the cocktail hour and then reception. It truly was a magical night for our family. I cannot give this venue enough praises for the wonderful job they did!!!

cause its outdoor beauty close to home. From day one, planning was unbelievably easy whether it be over the phone, email or visiting in person when I came to town. On the day of, the wedding planners and staff were there every step of the way. We had our ceremony on the deck, cocktail hour downstairs, and reception upstairs. The food was delicious (which they make sure the bride and groom are served food and drink!) and the staff was so organized. Truly seamless experience. Thank you a million times over to Margaret and Colleen. You two truly made our day better than imagined! I highly recommend Ivy Hall and Events Catering to anyone who wants a stress free and beautiful wedding experience!

g so easy - our guests were easily guided from the Ceremony to the Cocktail Hour to the Reception with ease. Linda and Carol were excellent to work with! I am an event planner with a wedding venue, so I was a little nervous handing over the reins. They handled everything on the day perfectly! The room looked beautiful: all of my special little décor details were placed out in the correct places. They coordinated with all of the vendors and took care of everything on the day-of. They moved the event along according to the timeline, but I never felt stressed or pressured. I have received so many compliments on the venue and the food. I am really proud of the wedding that we put together and choosing Ivy Hall as the venue was a large part of that. I would recommend it to any future couples!

& everything! I still have people telling me how amazing my wedding was and that the venue was BEAUTIFUL! I couldn't imagine getting married and having my reception anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and have your ceremony and/or reception here!!! Plus it's in an awesome location for you to get great pictures!

dditional station, and we were VERY surprised at how they took our suggestions for the food on the wedding day. We really appreciated that they listened to us!

d every question my mom and I had regarding anything dealing with the wedding. After the tasting we wanted to try more dishes from the menu and Linda was able to arrange sample bags for us to taste. Colleen did an excellent job with our ceremony everything ran to schedule and was super organized. I did not have to worry about anything on the day of! The venue is beautiful and Events Catering makes it that much more special!

ith the location and space. It's absolutely gorgeous. Staff is pretty good at responding and being attentive day-of. If you want to tailor the menu to be more representative of you, then this place isn't for you. When signing the contract, we were initially told that they would provide us with the few things we really wanted to have for food. That never happened. Otherwise, everyone really enjoyed the event and agreed it was gorgeous. Also, I was skeptical of the rain-out room situation, and our wedding did get rained out. The plan B room was transformed (by my florist) and was absolutely perfect despite the weather.

s that Ivy Hall makes their own food in house so it is served fresh! My point of contact was Linda and I cannot say enough good things about her! She would always respond to my emails, normally within 24 hours, and really did as much as she could to accommodate all of my requests- and I definitely had a lot of them! It should be noted that this venue is basically an all inclusive venue and a historical one at that. This means that they do have a specific image/feel they want stick to: most of their decor and furniture are permanent (we wanted to bring in chivari rental chairs), they like to do things in a very particular way (their floor plan is not very flexible, setting the tables with silverware/water is an extra cost), and they are very strict on how much time you have to set up (2 hours) and break down (1 hour) everything. In the end, these things were all details that no one noticed and it definitely did not detract from the actual event! This venue is not a "blank canvas" where everything is customizable which may frustrate some brides, but April and her team know what they are doing when it comes to coordinating a great event. We had one hell of a party and we are very happy with the way everything turned out!

patio space that can be used for a cocktail hour (weather permitting). We had the opportunity to use the space, and it was perfect for the guest overflow. The views of the river are absolutely beautiful and a great place to take pictures (the bridge is also amazing for that). The pricing for alcohol packages is very reasonable, and the food was very good--we heard our guests enjoyed it too! We were able to extend the reception time (they usually stop around 9:30 for 6:30 starts), but we paid for an extension to 10:30, which they agreed to do for us without issue. They also have a variety of linens to choose from beyond the traditional cream, white, and black, so be sure to ask about the selection! The only constructive things I have to offer are that that there are some things that were not 100% clear when we began working with them-- 1) The space is advertised that it can fit 250-275. It can--but that would mean using the upstairs and downstairs and separating the guests, which we definitely didn't want to do. We were fortunate to have 90% of the guests we invited RSVP yes, so we had to come up with a creative solution for seating. They ended up allowing us to do a clear tent off the side of the main floor with extra tables in it. It was heated and well-lit, and the guests that sat there said it was just fine, although I do wish we could've fit everyone comfortably in the same room. 2)They do catering in house (the food is very good!) but they do not do personal tastings--there will be a reception where they invite everyone who is having catered events based on a seasonal menu. 3)My family is big on good wine selection, and although we asked a few times prior to the day of the event, it was only about a week before that they let us know we could, indeed, ship in some of our own wine. My dad was a bit frustrated, because he didn't have enough time at that point to ship in the wines he originally wanted to provide. 4) Since the space is mostly wood (which is one of the reasons we liked it!) just be cognizant of the noise with bands--we knew we would have to be careful about where we sat our more elderly guests when we made the arrangements due to the noise level, so we weren't worried about it, but just keep that in mind if that's something you want to consider. 5) As it is a historic building, the only bathrooms are downstairs. If you have guests with mobility issues, this may be a problem for you. There is a ramp along the side (outside); however you need to go all the way outside and around to use it. Our guests were able to manage without issue, but it's something good to keep in mind. 6) Parking and Buses--not really something negative, just something to keep in mind: there is limited parking (uber is your guests' best friend!) and if you have any large buses, it is a challenge to get in and out (which we anticipated). Make sure you have a boss of a bus driver (ours was with Buckhead Coach and absolutely amazing) to get in and out, or just be ok with having any larger transports park a little bit outside of the entrance. Wasn't a huge issue for us, but something to be aware of. All in all, it was a wonderful reception and we were very happy with the way it turned out.

and coordinator, an event captain, and a reception coordinator. Everything went off with out a hitch!! the food was tremendous and most of it we had them make gluten free. They did a great job making sure everything was labeled with gluten free markers. The team and staff were all so friendly and helpful.

not stuffy. I had to bring in very little decor because the room was naturally so beautiful. It was wonderful to use a reception venue that provided in-house catering. They provided food, beverages, tables, chairs, linens, AND all china/silverware. This allowed me to focus my time and attention to other details, like flowers and photographers. Speaking of which, they also gave me a list of preferred vendors! I selected a florist and DJ they recommended, and both were fantastic! Leading up to the wedding, Linda worked with me side-by-side. She answered every email (always within a 24 hour period), and continually encouraged me to ask questions. We met a month prior to my event and she had already prepared a timeline. She communicated with my DJ, my photographer, my videographer, the bakery, and my florist leading up to the wedding. She let me drop off all of my decor pieces when it was convenient for my schedule (a godsend the week of), and she even made sure to have a six pack of my groom's favorite beer that they didn't have on their menu! When we arrived for our reception, we were immediately greeted with drinks and appetizers. When we sat down to eat dinner, the wait staff already had our dinner ready so we could sit back and relax. I never had to worry about timeline because Linda was keeping up with all logistical details. They even boxed up all of the gifts and cards so my family didn't have to worry at the end of the night. I would HIGHLY recommend Ivy Hall.

ing was helpful during the planning process and I would definitely recommend them.

y to make sure my husband had his favorite beer (a rare craft beer) served at the rehearsal. When I walked into the venue on my wedding day, it was exactly how I had imagined it!! It was so refreshing to work with people who really care about creating your vision and go out of their way to make you feel special! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue!! I could not be happier :) Thank you, Ivy Hall!!!

classic, and formal - all rolled into one!

for that I will forever be thankful.

ht of every detail and were there with whatever we needed every time we turned around. Colleen and Linda were so helpful and patient with us. We had about 140 people, four stations of food, open bar and ceremony at the venue. The only reason I gave them four stars is because I was unaware that the only bathrooms in Ivy Hall were downstairs. We had several older people at the wedding and this did prove to be a hardship for them. Also, the ceremony and cocktails were downstairs and the ramp that is recommended for people who can't walk stairs is very precarious. It's an historic building so they can't just put in an elevator but I would recommend that they look at some way to accommodate people who are unable to navigate stairs. It was a beautiful day and everything went so smoothly! I highly recommend the venue, just be aware of the stair situation.

ely recommend this venue.

ent. She responded to all of my emails and phone calls immediately and was so accommodating with all of our requests. When I walked into Ivy Hall at my reception, it literally took my breath away. I couldn't have dreamed that it would all come together as beautifully as it did. On the night of my wedding, Rosie ensured we had everything we needed and that things were on schedule. Thank you Linda and Ivy Hall for making my wedding dream come true!

e everything ran smoothly and took care of everything we ask. I would highly recommend looking into having your event here. The food was amazing! I had nothing but great reviews from our family and friends.

the stress of setting everything up for the ceremony. They were very professional throughout the entire process and we had a wedding coordinator for the day of the wedding.

are still talking about how beautiful everything was.

had. I would highly recommend this venue.

still proceed outside. The upstairs and downstairs rooms were made available to the guests to stay cool and dry before the wedding, which was very helpful. The staff was also very attentive to the bride and groom throughout the day. The only negative was that we weren't allowed into site as early as we wanted, and it made our picture time before and after the wedding a little rushed. But, overall we had a lovely time and I'm glad we chose Ivy Hall to host our wedding.

uantity was perfect. The staff was ready to take care of anything you needed. 2 issues: 1. We were not allowed onto the site early enough to get pictures at the covered bridge (down a hill by the river). 2. They ran out of Miller Light...my grooms drink of choice. Other than that, it was a great success, and the scene is beautiful in photos.
