Our wedding felt like a dream and I am so glad we chose The McGarity House! Melita is kind, efficient, easy to work with, great communicator, and extremely helpful. She answered every question I had and responded quickly to emails. She provided the most beautiful decor and made sure our day was a breeze. I couldn’t be more pleased and I’m so grateful we had our wedding here! Such a beautiful place that captured so many beautiful memories!

Everything I imagined

Having our wedding at the McGarity House was an unforgettable experience. Melita was so kind and helpful throughout the entire experience. She always listened to my ideas and did what ever she could to help us have the day we envisioned. She promptly answered questions and shared in our excitement as our day was approaching. To me, the bride, the day went flawlessly all thanks to the Melita and vendors, staff, and the family who owns and operates the McGarity house. The day of was directed seamlessly and everyone knew where to go, what to do, and was timely. The organization helped tremendously.

We went with the vendor package and it was the best decision we could make. The house was stunning, the food was delicious, and the flowers were beautiful.

I could not recommend the McGarity House enough and know that a big part of our day being so special was because we had our wedding there.

What can we say about The McGarity House? Melita and her staff are outstanding. The house is gorgeous with eclectic pieces throughout the house that make you feel as though you've stepped back in time. The grounds and orchards are absolutely gorgeous! The new ballroom gives plenty of room for guests to eat, dance & have fun. With the new ballroom and the wrap around porch, The McGarity House holds more guests than most venues in Metro Atlanta. If you like it, book them! They book up quickly! We are pleased to work with Melita and the crew!
