A ballroom can look like any ballroom. A terrace, a rooftop or a lawn nine floors up tells everyone you got married in Atlanta. Every hotel on this page publishes at least one outdoor space on its own website, from a garden courtyard to a terrace beside the ballroom.
Book the ceremony or the cocktail hour outside, and keep the dinner inside where the light is steady. Look up the sunset for your month on the planning page and start portraits about an hour before it. Twenty minutes in that light is worth more than an hour at noon.
None of these hotels publishes a rain plan online, so ask which indoor room holds the ceremony if the weather turns, and when you have to make the call. I like to know the backup room before the day, so the plan B photographs are planned too.
