Does anyone know any venues where it could be a garden ceremony?

I'm looking to have a garden ceremony and then an inside reception. Does anyone know of any venues that would be able to do this?

I've already considered Cator Woolford Gardens (reception area too small), Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, Pinehurst Tea Room, and Vines Mansion (too far). Any other ideas?

    Callaway Gardens, Barnsley Gardens, Atlanta Botanical GArdens, and I forget the name, but there are some gardens in Kennesaw. HTH!

    I wonder if Prince William and Kate are registered at Target?

    Thanks My_Matt!

    I prob should have mentioned that I can't go more than 35 miles out of Atlanta. All of those would be great if they weren't so far out except for ABC which is a little out of my price range.

    Flint HIll & The Atrium are both beautiful outside and then have beautiful indoor facilities for the reception.  Also, LIttle Gardens (owned by the same company), but I haven't checked that one out in person.

    I also wanted an outside ceremony and indoor reception and we almost chose Primrose Cottage in Roswell.  It's really pretty and very affordable.  At the end of the day, we decided that being closer to the city was more important, so we chose the Piedmont Room at Park Tavern.  It will be all inside, but at least we have a city skyline view over the Park during our entire reception!

    Trolley Barn has a nice outside garden and inside reception space.  Piedmont Conservancy (Piedmont Park) is nice.  Gala Special Events Facility is in Mariett; not sure if it fits your 35 miles requirement.  You can bring own food and alcohol to Trolley Barn and Gala.  You bring your own food to Piedmont, but I think you use their bar package, but I don't remember.

    Glendalough Manor is outside Atlanta too, but I don't remember how far.  Park Tavern also has a Garden Tent and outside space for a ceremony.

    I was looking for the exact same combination. I ended up going with Callanwolde.

    Besides the ones already mentioned here, I viewed:
    The Gardens at Kennesaw Mountain (outside areas are gorgeous, inside a little dated, fresh, organic catering),
    Heritage Green - Sandy Springs (they were booked on my date, so I didn't visit, but they look ideal for an outdoor/indoor),
    Kimball Hall (a friend got married here with an outdoor ceremony in the back gardens, cocktails on the patio, and reception in the pretty windowed ballroom inside),
    Marriott Evergreen at Stone Mountain (they have gorgeous outside spaces and some modern ballrooms -- I was going to try to have my reception at the lakeside pavilion)

    Those are all within about 20 miles of Atlanta.

    Good luck!

    Well everyone.....like nicolegtatl, I ended up going with Callanwolde. They were about 25% over my budget, but once I looked at everything, they were the best deal. Thanks to everyone for their help.
