Travel : Where to Stay

Somehow, we picked the busiest weekend in December to get married. Due to numerous conferences in the city during our wedding weekend, hotel rooms are somewhat limited, and rates are abnormally high. See the information in the sections below for information on reserved blocks in Decatur and other hotels/parts of town we like!


We were able to secure two blocks of rooms at the following hotels in downtown Decatur (near the ceremony location):


** The Courtyard by Marriott

-> (if you call the hotel to book, reference the "morgan-griffin wedding)


-> We are working to resolve an issue with the booking link. To see the block rates, make sure to change the dates to 12/10/21 - 12/12/21.


** The Hampton Inn

(use code: MGW)


While there is a lot going on in Atlanta, there are still some good deals out there . Some of our recommendations in various parts of town can be found below.


Deals can also be found on the following sites:


* Kayak


* Hotels.com


* Hotelplanner.com


We suspect that some of the availability around town will open up as the wedding weekend draws near.
