Host your wedding at the "Castle on Peachtree!"
Holds ceremonies and receptions
We hosted our intimate 30 guest wedding here and it was perfect! The venue itself is so epic and makes for the perfect photo backdrop. Our guests loved the layout of the indoor reception and raved that it felt like having dinner with royalty! We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and Caroline was so accommodating through the full planning process. I really hope more people start choosing this incredible venue for their big day! It’s a true Atlanta gem.

We fell in love with this venue the first time we saw it. It’s a gorgeous, romantic castle and it was perfect for our intimate wedding of around 50 guests. Our guests and vendors kept talking about how beautiful the venue was, and our friends had so much fun taking pictures in the beautiful house. We had our ceremony inside under the beautiful staircase, cocktails outside, dinner inside, and dancing back out on the patio and it was perfect. The tower on top for sunset photos is a bonus.

Rhodes Hall is a mansion and wedding venue located in Atlanta, GA. Known as the "Castle on Peachtree," Rhodes Hall is Atlanta's most unique venue for weddings, receptions, showers, and rehearsal dinners! An Atlanta landmark built in 1904, Rhodes Hall has been part of Atlanta for over 100 years. It is one of only two historic mansions still standing on Peachtree Street. Amos G. Rhodes, the home's original owner, called his gorgeous house "Le Réve" (French for "The Dream"), and it's easy to see why! With its original hand-painted murals, intricate tile fireplaces, imposing floor-to-ceiling mantles, beautiful columns, stunning African Mahogany staircase, and original turn-of-the-century furniture, Rhodes Hall is unlike any other wedding venue in the city! Take a tour of the house and learn more about its history and how you can host your next event at Atlanta's "Castle on Peachtree."

Let me start out by saying that this venue was absolutely perfect for the theme and size of our wedding; not to mention it is reasonably priced. Chrystal was mostly great to work w...
ith (we had small hiccups in sorting out the rehearsal but they were ultimately resolved). She was very helpful in answering all our questions and accommodating with meetings, including dropping our things off before the big day. We absolutely LOVE the event space overall. The bridal suite is beautiful, the rooms are so unique, the staircase OMG, and the dance floor out on the porch is so cool.
HOWEVER. Rhodes Hall has 2 staff and a security guard present the day of weddings. Chrystal is not typically there, which is understood. The staff she did have present at our wedding were TERRIBLE. Fortunately, I was only aware of a couple incidents the day of the wedding. One of which being our exit which was completely ruined. We were rushed out and they didn't even open the front gate for us to go out. I was nearly in tears. We had until 9pm to end our event and until 10pm to cleanup and be out of the venue. After being literally pushed out, our Uber picked us up at 8:51pm. Meaning we were actually forced to call Uber even earlier. Everyone who stayed to cleanup couldn't have been there any later than 9:15pm. As the bride and groom, we had access to the tower with our photographer for a sunset session. This was discussed and planned for. Two separate people had to search someone on staff out and ultimately my photographer ended up calling one of them personally to ask if they could please unlock the door to the tower. His response: well you have to have an event to have access. To which she kindly reminded him that the event was the wedding. They took their sweet time to finally come unlock the tower, taking away time from our reception.
Our coordinator informed me once we returned from our honeymoon: "The overall attitudes of the staff the day of your wedding from Rhodes Hall. They were not very pleasant, difficult to motivate to do things, and just didn't seem to care about anything but whatever they were watching on their cell phones in their office. I couldn't even get them to unlock the front gate to the exit."
Additionally, the DJ: "As far as Rhodes Hall goes, I truly love all the people that are there on a daily basis. The 2 guys that were there the day of your wedding, on the other hand, were less than stellar. They did not seem to want to help anyone and annoyed when asked anything. They really only seemed to be interested in watching videos on their phones and rushing everyone off at the end of the night. That being said, I do not think their attitude effected the evening. They largely stayed out of sight from guest and I did not see them interact with anyone except vendors. I would just expect people that represent Rhodes Hall to very accommodating and helpful to everyone."
My parents had similar complaints. Apparently, they remained in the office with the doors shut almost the entire time, with the exception of coming out twice to fill their plates with food. They were very difficult to find when we did need them.
Chrystal has since been informed of all of the issues we had. I know she is incredibly disappointed in the staff that was present that day.
I will conclude with: This venue is perfect for a small wedding/event looking for a beautiful back drop. BUT I would ask about the staff that will be present the day of your event.

My husband and I loved the architecture and atmosphere that Rhodes hall had to offer. Our wedding looked like something from a fairy tale and the staff was very helpful. The space ...
is on the smaller size, which worked for our 89 guests, so if you are having 150 people, make sure the weather is nice for an outside dinner.

ions, and came up with great ideas when it came to planning our reception. We had a small guest list (about 35), and it was the perfect size! With not knowing how the weather would turn out, we planned to have everything inside. We had our bar in the den, dance floor/DJ in the main room, and seated guests in the library and parlor. My husband and I had our sweetheart table in the parlor, as well as our cake on the beautiful marble table. The weather turned out beautifully and we were able to open the front door so guests could mingle on the huge front porch. One of the reasons we chose RH is for the history and beautiful decor inside. We loved the fact we didn't have to do much to decorate for our reception. Also, we took advantage of going up the tower to have our pictures taken. What a view of the city!

I have always thought that Rhodes Hall was a terrific venue and have been fascinated by it's Romanesque castle façade coupled with the ornate Victorian interior. So it was really ...
an easy choice for my partner and I who married on Sunday, April 24th, 2016. We had 95 guests with our ceremony on the steps, cocktail and reception split inside and out so that the dance floor could be in the reception. It was a bit windy for the piping drape and urns so be certain you weight down well.
Chrystal was a true joy, her experience with the venue gave her the knowledge to make great suggestions. While we did add florals and décor on the tables and mantels, we kept them in the feel of the home very lush and loose. We wanted people to explore the home the whole evening, not just for ceremony or dinner.
We put the bar into the den so it was just off the dance floor (in the reception hall ) and would keep people flowing through the home even after dinner. She offered to work with us every step of the way and was always easy to reach when needed. I got my cake bar in the parlor with my 60" rounds plus sweetheart table and the rest of the guests were either seated in the library or on the porch. Dinner was buffet style, then we all returned for dancing and mingling. Several did mingle on the front and side porches, taking photos of the home, ceremony or photo backdrop.
The day of is truly a whirlwind, the staff was on top of everything. I'm very hands on and they wouldn't allow me to do anything. = ) I too, returned from my honeymoon to find my security deposit check had been returned. It was even easy to pick up the cooler we realized had been left there about 2 weeks we later. I can't wait to see the rest of our photos as the peeks I've gotten have been amazing! I know I didn't get the chance to thank you all then, but I do wish to say THANKS! to each of you who helped make our day so very special!

I will forever look back fondly at Rhodes Hall as OUR castle on Peachtree, it was truly a magical setting to get married in! We planned for our ceremony to be held on the lawn with...
the cocktail hour outside, a buffet dinner indoors, and dancing on the porch, and fortunately the weather on March 13th ended up being perfect so everything went exactly as planned! We had 117 total guests, and originally I was a little concerned of what our Plan B would be if the weather ended up not going our way (as only 100 people can be seated indoors, and March weather in Atlanta can be so wildly unpredictable) but everything went better than perfect! The building is so gorgeous, I can't wait until we get our wedding photos back! We had our engagement photos taken there as well, and they came out beautifully. Such a unique venue, I'd give it 10 stars if I could! Chrystal Butts was very professional to work with throughout the planning process. We just got back from our honeymoon a few days ago, and our security deposit refund check was already waiting for us in the mail, super efficient. If you want a truly standout venue, book Rhodes Hall!

Rhodes Hall is not just a beautiful vintage venue that looks like a castle. It was the perfect place to have our wedding and reception.
From the start, the staff had great comm...
unication, good organization, and were always respectful and kind.
I did all of my wedding planning myself and they were able to keep up with me and my decisions.
They were always available to ask questions & make accommodations prior to our big day.
On our wedding day, they were there on time, and had everything ready to go. we had minimal set up to do, and everything was expertly and courteously done.
They made sure our guests were comfortable without being smothering, and listened to my photographer about the best places for things. They helped flip the room for the reception in record timing and kept everything flowing.
Our wedding was around Christmas, so it was cold outside, but perfect inside. The Holiday decorations they had up were great, but the colors were a little odd. Lime green and turquoise don't remind me of Christmas, but it wasnt that big of an issue. It was a little tight have 85 guests all seated, but they made it work.
Chrystal did a great job helping me plan, and her staff was great the day of.
Make sure to visit and book early, this place is worth it!
Lots of beautiful locations for pictures and my guests loved the history of the house.
The only thing I wish we could have done was get a turret balcony roof picture like they advertise, but they said we couldnt do it that day - and it was muggy and cold out.
The porches were great for pictures, but were a bit moist and dirty, getting my dress a bit gross on the hem.
Our send off in the covered porch area was FANTASTIC. I recommend you all exit through that porch and not the front of the house.
Thanks for a great wedding Rhodes Hall!

We did not end up using Rhodes Hall for our reception, but all of my conversations with Crystal and her staff were top-notch. We toured the venue and the views are spectacular--I ...
can only imagine that photos here will be gorgeous. The price is also super reasonable and much lower than other, less lovely venues. A number of factors went into our decision, but Rhodes Hall was on our final list, and I'm sure brides who party here aren't disappointed.

My husband and I are so happy that we selected Rhodes Hall for our wedding ceremony and reception location. We primarily worked with Chrystal Butts, she is amazing and so organized...
. She was so quick to respond to my emails and phone calls and she had some great tips and suggestions.
Rhodes Hall is such a gorgeous venue for an event, especially a wedding! My photographer has been doing weddings for decades and said this is one of his favorite venues to shoot because of the natural beauty. If you want amazing wedding pictures, Rhodes Hall is the place! They let the bride and groom go up to the top of the tower with their photographer. Those pictures alone are more than worth the rental fee!
My husband and I were doing a DIY wedding on a tight budget (about $10,000 for 50 guests) and we were able to pull it off because we chose Rhodes Hall. Because it is so beautiful already, we spent very little on decorations. They have a great list of approved caterers for all budgets and tastes, we chose Soiree Catering who was served beautiful and very delicious food that was very reasonably priced. Also, Rhodes Hall allows you to bring your own alcohol (your caterer has to serve it to your guests), which saves a lot of money. We served our guests red and white wine, champagne, beer and a signature drink.
Our guests were blown away by Rhodes Hall and how perfect of a wedding venue it was. My husband, our officiant and I stood at the top of the stairs on the front porch for the ceremony, our guests sat in chairs on the front lawn. The food was served buffet style in the dining room, with tables and chairs for our guests throughout the rest of the main floor. The DJ, four high boy tables and the bar was set up on the front porch, which was a perfect spot for dancing.
Also: they recently (August/September 2013) installed central air in Rhodes Hall, so comfort inside during the warmer months is no longer a concern.
I had the wedding of my dreams thanks to Rhodes Hall!

We loved getting married at Rhodes Hall. Everything was exceptional. There are a couple of things to be aware of if one chooses Rhodes Hall: The piano will probably need tuning. ...
We were told it had been tuned in the last two months, so we thought it was good to go. When our soloist and piano-player tried it, the piano was horribly out of tune due to its sitting by a radiator. We were not aware of this, and had to find someone to tune it at the last minute. It is an old baby-grand the tuner said needs to be rebuilt. The light over the grand staircase does not work, and we were not aware of this until the evening of our wedding. Had we not had our videographer there, the grand staircase would have been very dark. After he turned his light off, one person did fall due to poor lighting, but was not injured. We have reported this, and hopefully, the light will be repaired. We understand Rhodes Hall needs funds, which is part of the reason we chose to marry there. We wanted to donate to Rhodes Hall. Overall, the experience was wonderful, and everything we dreamed of for a year. Rhodes Hall is breathtaking to view, and everyone loved it. If you are looking for a venue for 75 people, or less, this is the perfect castle for your wedding.

Of course, Rhodes Hall is beautiful--anyone who has driven by or visited can see that. But the staff there is also wonderful! Chrystal and her staff were so easy to work with. I'd ...
recommend Rhodes Hall to anyone. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it was very hot. Our wedding was in July, in the evening, so we expected it to be warm--just not quite as warm inside as it actually was. I think that is to be expected in a historic facility, and the staff did tell us it would be warm. Overall, a wonderful, fairy-tale setting for a wedding!

AC worked fine but it was so embarrassing to see all our guests suffering from the heat. The heat will ruin the makeup and hair of you and your guests- it is that bad. the lawn was a dead patch of grass. there is rust on the terrace, they wont let you move any of their furniture so its impossible to have a good seating layout. dont ruin your wedding day by choosing Rhodes Hall. I wish I had read an honest review on this place prior to booking this venue so I hope this prevents another disappointment. PS I had a 2nd reception at the JB Fuqua Pavilion, Metro Atlanta Chamber and that was a wonderful experience (staff,venue, value for money all 5 star)

c the AC Is ancient, but plan on getting eaten alive by the Mosquitos on the untamed dead grass and flowerless lawn. The condition of the lawn isn't even close to what the pictures show. The cake melted bc of the heat in the house. BTW, the guests were scratching their bug bites all nite! Don't even think about seeing your deposit again bc they will find any reason to keep it from you. And don't let those fake smiles from the employees and manager fool you, they could care less how your wedding turns out. What a waste of Money!!!
