The Ellis Hotel, Downtown, Atlanta GA
After reviewing a number of hotels, we decided on having our guests stay at the Ellis Hotel in downtown Atlanta, GA. The hotel is close enough to the ceremony and reception site and importantly, it's in the middle of everything. So for guests who are not going to be staying too long in Atlanta, it provides them the opportunity to make the best of their stay. And for those who will leisurely visit for our wedding, they will have ample time to see all that Atlanta has to offer.

According to the hotel's website, www.ellishotel.com. "The Ellis Hotel is your legendary link between Atlanta's storied past and its stylish present. Stay here for luxury accommodations, personalised service, and unmatched access to downtown attractions and corporations." And it's about 6 minutes away from our ceremony and reception site; which is important for anyone who knows about Atlanta traffic. Attractions around the hotel include the world's largest aquarium, the famous Georgia Aquarium, High Museum, Coca-Cola Museum, CNN Center and Georgia State Capital.

We decided to have a second hotel for close family and guests that wish to be a little bit closer to my mother's home which will be like the "Operations Centre." I can see it now, the hustle and the bustle, people coming in and out; if I'm not excited by now, I'm at least nervous thinking about all of our guests and their accommodations.

Though the second hotel isn't as glamourous as the downtown Atlanta hotel, it's comfortable and very affordable.
