Wedding Party

While we will not be reserving a hotel block, we recommend the properties below:

Walking distance to the wedding venue with convenient access to MARTA and the illustrious "beltline," too. Looks quite charming.

Sugar Magnolia Bed & Breakfast

In the heart of downtown Decatur, close to many of our favorite restaurants and shops. Convenient access to MARTA which can get you right to the wedding venue.

Hampton Inn & Suites Atlanta Decatur/Emory

Only 15 minutes from the wedding venue by car. Closer to the Emory campus, and walking distance to great donuts, coffee, po' boys, and records.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Atlanta-Emory University Area by IHG

Probably nice if you have the dough. Forget "convenient access," this place is on the beltline. We haven't stayed their ourselves, but we can vouch for the view from the rooftop bar.

FORTH Hotel Atlanta

An undisputed classic. Ask for Blondie.

Travel

Kylie [pictured above] enjoys their incredible breakfast and pastries. Recently featured on Triple D with your boy Guy Fieri. Try the kimchi buttermilk biscuit and add spam to any order for good luck.

Leftie Lee‘s

It's a wine bar. It's a hi-fi record listening room. It's a combination wine bar/hi-fi record listening room. It's a good time, and once we got to see DJ <a href="https://www.heladonegro.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Roberto Carlos Lange</a> [pictured above] play records on turntables that are built into the bar!

Commune

Kylie [pictured above] loves the lattes, pastries, and (occasionally) cocktails from Little Tart. It's located just over yonder from Oakland Cemetery where you can take your latte for a nice stroll through a piece of Atlanta history.

The Little Tart Bakeshop

Kylie [pictured above] is known to get lost in the stacks at just about any antique or second-hand store. You never know what you'll find at Kuzdu; handmade goods, nostalgic tchotchkes, love perhaps?

Kudzu Antiques + Modern

Ian and Kylie [pictured above] both come from a long line of antiquin', thriftin', and junkin' junkies. Lots of good getting to be got over at Mother Lode.

Mother Lode

Ian [pictured above] is seen here wondering just how many times he's been to Argosy over all these years. The hot chicken continues to deliver, the pizza is great, plus they got that parmesan ranch and curry ketchup. All good things, all those good times.

Argosy

Stop on by, anytime.* *closed on Mondays.

Center For Puppetry Arts

Very likely the best pizza you'll ever have in a barn shaped building. There's charming local art all over the walls, and in some cases the walls even become the art [pictured above]. Charming, neighborly vibes all around.

Shorty's Pizza

Try the Shake Shake and the best Avocado Toast in town. The Toco Hill shopping center is also home to every shop or restaurant ever created and has not one, but two grocery stores.

Spiller Park Coffee "SP2"

Kylie's uncle Eric says it's "kinda spicy," and he might be right. But it sure is good. We recommend the chopped pork sandwich, the stew, the sweet tea, and the live blues.

Fat Matt's Rib Shack

A hidden gem, and Ruby [pictured above] certainly approves. Conveniently located next to Taqueria el Vecino.

Ella Guru Record Shop

Conveniently located next to Ella Guru, we highly recommend el Vecino. Highlights include: too many good tacos to name, amazing charro beans, and a Tecate as big as your head.

Taqueria El Vecino

Paolino feels so tucked away and hidden, we probably shouldn't even be telling you about this place. Molto bene.

Paolino Italian Restaurant

Full to the brim with fruits and vegetables you didn't even know could exist. Fresh baked goods, coffee, sweets, every spice known to man, and so much more. Weekend visits are not for the faint of heart. Note: Photos are prohibited in Your Dekalb Farmers Market [pictured above].

Your DeKalb Farmers Market

Ole Lloyd always delivers good 'zza and great atmosphere. Be sure to ask about their rotating specialty pizzas. Walking distance from the wedding venue and conveniently located next to Stereo.

LLoyd's Restaurant & Lounge

Walking distance from the wedding venue and conveniently located next to Lloyd's Restaurant &amp; Lounge. Stereo is another one of those hip record listening rooms with a bar, plus a nice patio with a romantic view of the passing MARTA train.
