The Trolley Barn - Inman Park, Atlanta, GA.

We've picked a venue for our wedding and we're very happy to say it will be at the Trolley Barn of Inman Park in Atlanta, GA! We're very excited about getting all our friends and family together in such a wonderful space to celebrate our wedding. This beautiful building and its cozy back patio will serve as the site for both our wedding ceremony (outside) and reception (inside).

Here's a brief history of the building, courtesy of the Trolley Barn's website:

The Trolley Barn opened in August, 1889, as the service and housing facility for Atlanta's first electric street railway line, running from the heart of downtown Atlanta to Inman Park Atlanta's new garden suburb. Its life as a trolley barn was brief, however, for with the development of trolley technology and the merging of various lines into a city-wide network it became obsolete by the turn of the century. Following years saw The Barn used as a church, basketball court, farmers market, for various mercantile ventures, and as a storage and repair facility for antiques.

Over the middle decades of the 20th century, The Barn, along with its once lovely but forgotten Victorian neighborhood, slid into decay and disrepair until it became ripe for condemnation in the early 70s. But prodded by urban pioneers in a reviving neighborhood, the City of Atlanta purchased the building in 1976 and, in conjunction with the newly-organized Atlanta & Edgewood Street Railway Company (a name borrowed from the original 19th century company), began a restoration program which was completed in 1987. The A&ESRC, comprised primarily of local residents, now manages the non-profit rental facility.

The Trolley Barn's exterior has been carefully restored to its original appearance and its interior extensively renovated to accommodate both festive and business events. The spacious 2,750 square-foot main hall rises to a height of 30 feet, displaying its handsome exposed wood beam superstructure. Installed in the renovation is a mesquite wood floor suitable for dancing. Variable lighting, including festive mini lights, lends ambiance to any event.
