The Country Club of the South

The Weddings at Country Club of the South Atlanta Take Our Breath Away in A-Town!

“You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince”. Doesn’t finding an ‘our kinda’ wedding venue remind of the classic fairy tale-line (The Frog Prince) from our childhood? Hundreds of thousands of gorgeous wedding venues in Atlanta are waiting to be visited by newly engaged couples who have decided ATL (nicknamed Hotlanta, The ATL, A-Town, the City too busy to hate, the Empire State South, and Capital of the Southeast) to play the narrator of their love story. Site tours are overwhelming but fun too! Isn’t it? Preparing a list of wedding venues you love is a great idea to start with! Trust us, your research for days and maybe months- browsing online, asking your kiths and kins for recommendations, and going to wedding shows would surely come to fruition.

If you’ve always had a soft spot in your heart for Atlanta to get hitched to the love of your life, we won’t ask why. It’s pretty obvious!! The Peach State (Georgia) takes pride in Atlanta being ranked among top US cities to tie the knot. Clear blue skies, swaying greens, refreshing breeze, and scintillating lakes, every single element of this amazing city will make your wedding day a memorable one. And you would simply love your wedding photography with Atlanta in the backdrop. Imagine saying those two magical words to the love of your life amidst all these beautiful elements of nature in one place! Simply breathtaking!

Peacefully sitting in Johns Creek, surrounded by lush pines, rolling hills, and sparkling streams, The Country Club of the South is an idyllic private haven that offers panoramic views, world-class facilities, scrumptious cuisine, and southern hospitality to make your wedding dreams come true. Founded in 1985, this beautiful Atlanta wedding venue creates a fun and relaxing environment for special events besides family and professional activities with the help of its exceptionally talented team that is always on their toes to make sure your special event is stress-free and goes by smoothly without any hiccups! 

One of the ten best country clubs in Atlanta, The Country Club of the South is a private, ClubCorp owned country club in the Northern Atlanta suburb of Johns Creek that has a glorious past. The history of this gorgeous country club venue in Atlanta takes us to 1985 when Jack Nicklaus came to Atlanta in search of a special place to meet the goal of building his first golf course to add to his collection of masterpieces. He chose a gated community called The Country Club of the South waiting for his magical touch. Partnering with development owner Bob Sierra, Mr. Nicklaus completed the first nine holes by 1987 and just six months later he started working towards building 18 holes. Realizing the need to be a premier club in the area, the Club embarked on a major renovation of the fairways, practice facilities, and tees. Investing an additional $5 million, the course was brought up to premier status. As part of the renovation, the Club partnered with Mizuno Corporation to construct the most modern, up-to-date, and high-tech training facility in the area. Today, CCS is one of the premier neighborhoods of the northern suburbs of Atlanta and definitely a fine example of exceptional golf, living, and membership privileges. Situated in Johns Creek that consists of a huge circle and an 18 hole golf course (not to mention with a large portion of the border being the Chattahoochee River), this place is definitely a guarded gem. The greens are absolutely the best around, super fast and true, the fairways and the rough are well manicured and most of the tee boxes are smooth, level and very green. With all of that said, the course is very challenging, lots of out of bounds due to the surrounding houses and wooded areas. There isn't a lot of room for error around this course. But the course can be really fun with its elevation changes, large hills that can help (or hurt) certain balls in the fairways and the variety of holes. Definitely a great club in a high-end area of metro Atlanta. P.S.- The clubhouse now is not gated (neither is the real estate center), anymore but the neighborhood is.

Located in vibrant Southern city- Alpharetta (a suburb north of Atlanta), the venue boasts a resort-like setting where style, comfort, and exquisite views combine together to let you create an unforgettable event for your guests. The moment you’ll walk through the main gates, you will be greeted by a large hill with sweeping views of the golf course. And then from there, it is a tour of pretty much multimillion-dollar homes with lavish yards. On to the recently-renovated Clubhouse, this place has a lot to offer- the golf shop, plenty of bars, and an awesome restaurant. The Country Club of the South can accommodate up to 330 souls over numerous event spaces. Featuring a reception hall, ballrooms, and outdoor space on lush lawns, The CCS can accommodate your ceremonies both indoors and outdoors amidst its warm ambiance and a modern rustic flair. A recently-renovated bridal suite comes as an icing on the cake with the wedding package. The Country Club of the South wedding venue is not just a venue but is the epitome of beauty! The sheer natural beauty and scenic backdrops are something that will take your Atlanta wedding photography notches above! 

You may rent out the Villa next door for the bride and her bridesmaids to stay in the night before the wedding day. The Villa is beautiful, clean, and spacious and offers four bedrooms (2 master bedrooms with king beds that can sleep at least 10 people comfortably), 4.5 baths, 2 living rooms (1 upstairs and 1 downstairs), dining room, fully-stocked kitchen, laundry room, patio, gated access and more. Our ATL wedding photographers have plenty of photo opportunities to do some interesting photo shoots while you have fun with your gal pals and adorable siblings including the wedding dress photo session, getting-ready photo session, and bridal portrait session while you are getting dolled up for your groom. Also, finish with them the goals of mother-daughter photos in the gorgeous bridal suite itself while your bridesmaids are busy prepping up themselves for your big day. Also, a single wedding photographer simply cannot capture you prepping in the bridal suite and the groom getting ready with his groomsmen. Having more than one photographer is a great idea which not only saves your time but also makes sure that all your precious moments and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that you might lose when the lead photographer is busy taking shots of you and your wedding party. What about the groom and his wedding party? Won’t you want a shutterbug who can capture your groom and his groomsmen doing something funny and impish at the same time? Also, your second wedding photographer has more flexibility to snap the sweet little details that make up your day while the main photographer is busy capturing big moments of the day.

Our wedding photographers in Atlanta suburbs make sure that they seize all the family moments and other must-have photos in the Villa to treasure in the folds of your wedding albums. From the expressions on your mother’s face when she sees her little princess all decked up as a bride in the magnificent wedding gown to the welled-up eyes of your father when he walks you down the aisle to the love of your life. Our Atlanta wedding photographers’ all-time favorite mother-daughter wedding photos and father-daughter wedding photos are sure to bring tears to your eyes even when you are 80yo while flipping through your wedding photo book with your grandkids. Our wedding photographers in and around Atlanta love to capture all the sweet moments from adorable first looks to the romantic first dance, from those emotional moments parents and daughters share before the ceremony to the hilarious father-daughter dance and sweet toasts that you would not want to miss at all.

With its outer expansive allure, the venue features a magnificent Great Hall accompanied by a grand patio overlooking the lush golf course which is perfect to host a lavish reception ceremony and the cocktail hour after saying vows in its lush lawns. The absolutely gorgeous ballroom has an open floor plan, tall ceilings, and tall glass windows that pour plenty of beautiful, natural light in, allowing our Atlanta wedding photographers to create stunning wedding photos of your celebrations. The ballroom features hardwood flooring, glistening chandeliers, linen curtains, gracious décor, and floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the spectacular golf course. Imagine saying your vows at a place where every nook and corner speaks for its elegance. Our Atlanta wedding photographer stays right by your side to capture each and every moment of your big day. Sounds perfect, right? After your vows are exchanged, it’s worth exploring the grounds, which offer endless photo opportunities, with our Washington DC wedding photographers for stunning couple photography and photos with your bridesmaids and groomsmen. After having all the essential wedding shots stored in the cameras of our pro digital artists for your wedding album reunite with your wedding guests as per the wedding timeline in the spacious and lately renovated ballroom. Your near and dear ones are sure to swoon over the ballroom’s modern, bright, and modern aesthetics. Cocktail hour is a great opportunity for our Atlanta suburbs wedding photographers to capture guests mingling and sipping on the signature cocktails. Typically, you and your wedding party are snapping your group shots at this time, which is a good reason for having more than one wedding photographer at your event! You might want to know these hashtag ideas to collect guests' wedding photos! Also, make sure you get a picture with each table before everyone starts getting up to dance. We definitely recommend that you do that. The day flies by and you may not get a chance to speak to everyone individually. Be sure to take that moment to speak to each person and make sure you have a picture with each guest. 

While your guests are busy connecting with each other over the glass of their favorite drinks and appetizers slip away to the portico for breathtaking couple portraits with lush pines, rolling hills, and sparkling streams in the backdrop. Kiss at sunset and freeze forever in the outstanding golden hour photos. Sun, water, and skies do wonders for your wedding photography. So whether it’s golden hour couple photography under the setting or rising sun or underwater wedding photography under the sea and in the pool, pose unapologetically for magical couple portraits!

Just like a house is merely a building without its residents, a wedding venue is nothing more than a structure standing on bricks and stones without amazing people. The Country Club of the South team, from the wedding coordinator to catering staff to waiters, is an expert at what they do from very early on. The wedding coordinator is always one step ahead of you with all of the answers and attention-to-detail to make your special day extra special! They are very prompt in managing even your late-coming guests and getting everything on track and on schedule without you knowing and getting even more stressed out! The staff at CCS is very personable and accommodating during set up of your special tables and dealing with other needs-of-the-hour. The culinary staff at the CCS is also very friendly and professional. You can have custom made desserts, party favors, DIY centerpieces, and decorations with their friendly and talented people. Your wedding guests will not stop raving about the food served here! The cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres and dinner buffet are great and your wedding party even gets served separately for cocktail hour to ensure you get some after pictures. The venue itself is beautiful, well kept, and cared for. The locker areas for getting ready are nice and spacious but not private. Your celebration will not be interrupted by the members of the club while going in and out of the areas as needed. The best thing about the venue that really makes it stand out is that you may come in at any time and stay as long as needed without having to pay more during the wedding day. You don’t have to worry about another wedding being booked the same day or having to get out by a certain time after clean up! Everyone is phenomenal, incredibly polite, and helpful. Having your wedding reception at CCS will be a dream come true! You couldn’t pick a better venue and group of people to work with.
