Buckhead is where Atlanta's grand hotel weddings tend to happen. The hotels here sit along Peachtree Road, West Paces Ferry and East Paces Ferry, close to each other and to the shops and restaurants your guests will want on the free afternoon.
The range is wide. Some of these ballrooms seat several hundred for dinner, and others suit a wedding of a couple hundred with a terrace for cocktail hour. Start with your seated guest count, then look at which hotels publish an outdoor space, then ask each one for its food and beverage minimum on your date.
A Buckhead wedding often runs as a full weekend in one building. I plan the getting ready photographs around the biggest window in your suite, the portraits around the terrace or the best staircase, and the reception around the chandeliers.
Buckhead hotels are close together, so out of town guests can stay in one and still walk or ride a few minutes to dinner in another. Ask about room blocks early, because Buckhead weekends in spring and fall fill fast, and ask whether a rooftop, a restaurant or a private room can host the rehearsal dinner.
When you tour, ask to see the getting ready suites too. The best photographs of the morning come from a room with a big window and a little open floor.

2 of the 5 do. The Whitley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead list a price on their own site, and the rest quote by date.
None of them publish a rain plan online, so ask each one for the backup room in writing and walk it on your tour.
