One of our very own teachers here at The Frazer Center was able to renew her wedding vows at the gardens over the 4th of July holiday. Everything was so green and the colors of the stunning with all the fabulous color. Congrats Benita and Marvin! We wish you another healthy and happy 25 years!
This Sunday, the Cator Woolford Gardens will be hosting The Frazer Center's annual fundraiser, The Fall Festival. Come out and support us! It is from 2:00pm to 6:00pm and promises to be a great time!
Pei-Jean and Melvin were the sweetest couple you have ever met! I greatly enjoyed helping them make their day everything they wanted. It was a beautiful day in the gardens and Heidi from Our Labor of Love captured it all so well. Including Melvin's awesome home-brew bar. This was the first time we had seen someone bring in their own home brew beer and it was defiantly a hit. We wish you all the best Pei-Jean and Melvin. Cheers!
Caroline and Travis picked a beautiful day to tie the knot! And what a beautiful wedding it was! They held their ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner down in the gardens and then had trolleys pick up their friends and families to take them to the Atrium for cake and dancing. Everyone had a blast! We wish you all the best Caroline and Travis! Here are some fabulous shots taken by W. Scott Chester. I absolutely love his pictures as they have a very fun, almost vintage feel! Enjoy:
As many of you knew, the 200 chairs we had in the Atrium looked a little sad :( They were the original set of chairs used in the Gardens years ago and then made their way to the Atrium after we purchased new chairs for the Gardens. Well, its out with the old and in with the new! On Monday we received 200 brand new white wooden folding chairs that are beautiful and ready to be sat upon!
Nestled on 33 acres of mature hardwoods, the Cator Woolford Gardens are situated on one of the few remaining intact historic estates in Metropolitan Atlanta and are located just a few miles from the heart of downtown.
The Gardens were originally created for Cator Woolford, one of the principle founders of Retail Credit (now Equifax Credit Services) and were redesigned in 1996 as a series of outdoor “rooms.” Changing with the seasons, the gardens and forest are filled with dogwoods, roses, narcissi, rhododendrons, laurel, daffodils and azaleas, some of which are original to the estate.
Your guests will easily imagine themselves in a time gone by in this unique Southern oasis so convenient to the heart of the city. The Italian-styled pavilion offers more than 700 square feet of indoor space accompanied by an elegant 30’ x 40’ white tent, creating a truly enchanting and unique setting for any event – corporate retreat, conference, fundraiser, movie shoot or wedding. With a 3,000 square foot vaulted ceiling, floor to ceiling windowed venue also available as part of the gardens rental, only your imagination limits the type of event the gardens can accommodate.
