A wedding is a precious occasion that comes once-in-a-lifetime and is more than just a one-day affair. It’s months of exploring, planning, and executing things that dreams are made of. It's a commitment for life to be there by the side of your partner, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish.

Cedar Plantation in Atlanta will ensure that you remain on a constant high as you wed your soulmate, with its sophisticated décor, beautiful settings, and professional, courteous staff.

If you are a newly engaged couple, everything related to your wedding will require a lot of thinking. A wedding not only is a union of two souls, but it also encompasses the hows. How you pick that perfect wedding invite, how you take into consideration the season and timing of your wedding with respect to the decor and well being of the guests, how is every little detail carrying their essence - a wedding is made up of all this and so many other things. Therefore, making a wedding checklist is a great way to start with it. 

A vital part of your wedding checklist and the wedding day is the wedding venue. Finding the perfect wedding venue not only makes your wedding dreams come alive but also says a lot about your personality as a couple.

As mentioned before, we highly recommend chalking a wedding checklist as it really helps, and also helps with various other things that go beyond the checklist. Things like the wedding cake, the perfect wedding invites, the theme of the wedding (if any), decor according to color, mood, a season, or festivities, welcome table, guestbook, bridal gown, and boundless other things go beyond the requirements of a checklist. Other than these, one of the most important elements of a wedding is the wedding venue. While finalizing the venue will make you tick it off from your checklist, there’s a lot that goes into reaching that stage. And Cedar Plantation is the answer to all your doubts and confusions regarding your wedding venue.
