The Venue Saga: Part Three

Well, let's see, where were we?  Oh yes, first there were the North GA venues that weren't.  Then, I let go of the dream to have a wedding at Piedmont Park.  I know you're all asking, is this the Big Reveal??  Well, no.  Sorry to disappoint, but I'm still going to keep you in suspense for a bit longer while I tell you about Pristine Chapel Lakeside in Jonesboro, GA.  Let me tell you that this venue is GORGEOUS!  This was the first place we visitied and everywhere we went, we just kept comparing back to this place.  So, without further adieu, here is some "venue porn" (I just love that expression that I stole from Weddingbee!) of Pristine Chapel.  All pics were taken by yours truly.

First up, the outdoor ceremony site.  Love. it.  I could really imagine us standing here in front of the beautiful lake with the fountain and music over the outdoor speakers.  Or maybe even a little string quartet?  Ohh, I love the outside of this place. 

Next up, the "back-up" chapel, at least it would be that for us.  This was probably the best rain plan option out of all the venues we saw.  The indoor chapel was just beautiful.  We were there with a TON of other people for an open house, but you can see they had it set up with some simple decor on one side and a little more elaborate on the other. 

Like I said, gorgeous.  Now we move on to the reception area.  It's attached to the chapel, and in my opinion, not a whole lot to get excited about.  Blank walls, and like the chapel, they have it set up with simple decorations on one side and more elaborate decorations on the other.  Take a look. 

Yup, that's me you see dancing my way across the floor back to the mister.  So, this place was our "if we don't find anything else we're getting married here" venue.  Oh!  I almost forgot!  One of the best things about this place.  It comes with a Rolls Royce!  Fantastic! 

Oh yes, and we did get to have some weird pineapple spritzer drink, which was just awful, and some of their more popular cake flavors.  I've gotta say, the free tastings are awesome!  I want to keep going to venues just for the free delicious cake! 



Now you've seen them all.  All of the venues that weren't.  And while I still LOVE the ceremony site at Pristine Chapel, the place we've chosen is just so, us.  It's perfect!  I know you all hate me for keeping you in suspense but I hope you're enjoying the ride and I just want to ask you to hang on a bit longer.  The wait will be well worth it, I assure you.
