About The Atlanta Evergreen Lakeside Resort Wedding Venue

Located only 16 miles from downtown Atlanta, Atlanta Evergreen Lakeside Resort is a beautiful oasis nestled into Stone Mountain Park. While it’s a fabulous venue for a wedding, it’s also the perfect spot for a secluded getaway, with cozy accommodations and plenty of activities to keep the whole family excited and engaged.

There is much to experience at the resort, including two beloved golf courses, two heated swimming pools (indoor and outdoor), and kayak and stand-up paddle board rentals. Adventurous guests can ride the Summit Skyride, a high-speed Swiss cable car with breathtaking views of the Atlanta skyline and the Appalachian Mountains. The Scenic Railroad is a 5-mile ride in open-air train cars on a full-size locomotive from the 1940s. And if you have little ones joining you for your celebrations, they will love Dinosaur Explore, an exhibit with over 20 life-size moving and roaring prehistoric dinosaurs! 

Your wedding at Atlanta Evergreen Lakeside Resort catalyzes your guests to have an exciting and relaxing stay while coming to celebrate you and your partner!

Details of the Grounds

Atlanta Evergreen Lakeside Resort was designed for people to gather, and with over 37 event rooms available, they can accommodate groups of practically any size.

Then, for your ceremony, you can say “I do” in one of their indoor ballroom spaces or a more intimate dining room. Alternatively, opt for an outdoor vow exchange on a private wooded deck or underneath a pergola with a grand stone fireplace as your backdrop. 

Their two elegant ballrooms are ideal for wedding receptions; the Evergreen Ballroom can accommodate up to 750 people for a seated dinner, while the Stone Mountain Ballroom has space for up to 420 people. Their restaurants also have smaller private dining spaces perfect for more intimate gatherings (rehearsal dinner or farewell brunch!) Bring in drapery, florals, and other dramatic decor to totally transform the space into your unique wedding vision.
