Swan House Gardens

A transformable space, with our manicured gardens as your celebration backdrop

Host an unforgettable social gathering or have a memorable wedding ceremony at the historic venue setting. This Atlanta landmark is versatile enough to host a dinner party or act as a pre-function space for the Grand Overlook ballroom.
