Houston Mill House
The Houston Mill House is a stunning Georgian Fieldstone manor that still maintains its heritage from the original home that was built in the 1920s. Now a beautiful venue that is designed for a maximum of 80 guests, the space provides an incredibly intimate and private feel, while still allowing you the amenities of hosting your wedding on a property managed by the Emory Conference Center. After getting ready in your private bridal suite, your vows can be hosted at the Houston Mill House’s private gazebo, followed by a reception either within the House or on the brick terrace to toast to your love under the stars. Your complimentary honeymoon suite awaits you while your guests can head back to their hotel rooms nearby, or even head to the on-site bowling alley to close out the night. No matter what you’re looking for to make your intimate wedding perfect, The Houston Mill House will have it covered. Read real brides’ reviews here!

Le Maison Rouge
If you’re a couple that considers yourselves to be more theatrical, then Le Maison Rouge is right up your alley.

With a stage for you to host a show for your guests or for the sweetheart table, crushed velvet top to bottom, and mannequins and lounge beds lining the walls, this intimate venue will definitely make sure that your event sticks out in the memories of your guests for years to come.
