Nestled within the Historic Square of Stone Mountain Park, the Formal Gardens offer a naturally elegant setting for outdoor ceremonies. Set adjacent to the Dickey House on the park's grounds, the venue features a beautifully landscaped garden with finely manicured lawns, a paved pathway, and a charming white gazebo — providing a romantic backdrop surrounded by forests and natural scenery. The garden accommodates up to 100 guests for ceremonies, with white resin chairs arranged on the lawn and exclusive access to the adjacent bridal cottage included in the rental. Rental of the Formal Gardens includes four hours of exclusive use of the space. The surrounding park grounds offer additional photogenic spots — including the Covered Bridge and Grist Mill — for wedding party portraits at no additional cost when the ceremony is held on-site. For weddings requiring a reception space, Stone Mountain Park offers access to a range of additional on-site venues. Inquiries are handled by the park's groups team at (770) 498-5632 or SMPGroups@stonemountainpark.com.
