Atlanta Contemporary Art Center was the perfect choice as a venue for my wedding. The building and outdoor pavilion was beautiful, and the staff was super helpful. They were also very up front about any charges, and available to answer all my questions.

The ACAC was a GREAT place to have our wedding and reception. Our guests are still gushing over how unique and interesting the space was. Khadijah was the nicest and most amazing site coordinator to work with. You won't get better service and value anywhere else. I highly recommend it.
