Carl House Real Wedding: Kenny and Amanda

Kenny and Amanda McClellan were married at Carl House on July 9, 2005. Here is what Amanda had to say about their Carl House experience:

My husband and I are both professional musicians, which means that over the years, we've played at least 200 weddings each. Performing in and seeing that many weddings gave us a very detailed idea of what we wanted for our special day. The Carl House exceeded our expectations in every way!!!

The staff is the nicest staff in the northern Atlanta area, and the most competent. Every detail is carefully planned and executed to make the activities and transitions seamless. My husband and I have seen wedding coordinators foul up the seating of guests, the flow of people before and after the event, even the wedding processional. Our wedding went so smoothly, and I attribute it to the Carl House staff.

The venue is also so beautiful and elegant that it makes the perfect spot for a wedding. Unlike other venues with too many twists and turns to find the bar or food, raised dance floors that invite guests to trip, or seating that doesn't allow a view of the couple, The Carl House offers a well-designed use of space that complimented our event. All of our guests loved the venue and many young ladies vowed to return for their own weddings.

To make sure no one would drive drunk, we told everyone to book a room at the Mall of Georgia Spring Suites. We chartered a bus to pick up people at the hotel and bring them over to The Carl House and it would make hourly trips back. At the end of the night, everone still at the Carl House, including the bride and groom boarded the bus and headed to the Mall of GA O'Charley's that had been booked as a post-reception party from 11am to 2am. The reception continued until 2am, but the party wasn't over... but what should one do at 2am in Buford after last call? Well, everyone walked down the street to Waffle House! People took pictures of the mass of people walking down Buford Highway and then we had a great time eating and goofing around. We all eventually walked to the hotel at 5am to crash. It was a great night!!

My husband and I loved the event and would do it all over again, and we'd make sure to book The Carl House!!!
