Wedding bells will ring and ring and ring in Sandy Springs
BY H.M. CAULEY
If the high cost of weddings these
days has kept you and your significant
other from setting a date, the folks at
Heritage Sandy Springs may have a way
for you to find wedded bliss at a reason
able price.
On Aug. 2, couples can reserve the
Heritage’s waterside gazebo, complete
with flowers, a photographer, personal
ly-selected music, a cupcake cutting and
a champagne toast for 20 close friends,
for just $300 - less than the price of
some swanky bridal shoes.
Happy pairs can sign up for a
15-minute ceremony between 10 a.m.
and 7 p.m., and Heritage rental coordi
nator Sarah Poland estimates at least 12
weddings can be squeezed into that time
frame.
“Not everyone wants the stress of
planning a big to-do, so we ll do it for
them,” said Poland. “For any brides out
there on a budget, they can get all this
done for $300.”
The staff of Heritage Sandy Springs
has been working on the idea for a day
of weddings since last year, when they
tried to organize a similar affair for Val
entine’s Day.
“But we re really more of an outdoor
venue, so we decided to do it in warm
weather,” said Executive Director Carol
Thompson. “That way, we can use the
gazebo and garden area of the park. It’s
such a fun idea, and even though it’s not
for everybody, I fully expect to get all the

The Heritage site is already a pop
ular place for tying the knot, partic
ularly on the weekends. So having
a Friday affair will also be a way for
the organization to raise additional
funds, said Poland, who said the ex
perts recruited for the event will co
ordinate with couples to make it as
personalized as possible.
“We have a florist who will do
the bouquets to a certain color, and
we’ll arrange to play a certain song,
if that’s what they want,” said Po
land. “We’ll set up all the chairs and
decorate.
“All someone has to do is show
up with a marriage license. But it’s
also a great idea for marriage vow
renewals, commitment ceremo
nies and for people getting remar
ried who may want something very
simple. We think it will appeal to a
broad audience.”
The day is being sponsored by

Cook, a florist and event planner with A
Sister’s Touch, will also be on hand.
