The pictures don’t do this venue justice. We visited three or four other venues before getting to Whitestone and we were willing to settle on the others until we arrived. As soon as we walked in and met Melanie and looked around, we knew we had our place. Even better because we were committed to making this process as low maintenance as possible in Whitestone was one of the few venues that had services that included the majority of the logistics.
We got the full experience of a perfect wedding day without all of the stress and having to find vendors all on our own. The experience was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for more.

We booked the Fairy-Tale All-Inclusive Wedding Package, and our experience was fantastic. The venue has an extensive selection of linens and silk flowers, and we did not need to provide any additional decor for the event to look gorgeous. The space was generous for our party of 60. I liked how the layout of the space kept everyone in the same room together. I felt like we were in great hands with owner Melanie and her team of professionals - as a bride, I felt like I could just show up and enjoy the party.

My husband and I got married at Whitestone, and we absolutely loved working with them. Melanie and her team walked with us through every part of the process. They were very responsive, knowledgeable, and made decision making so much easier. We had a bit of complicated timeline for the day and they were very gracious in accommodating our needs. Even though we had unforeseen hiccups on our wedding day, they still worked hard to make sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and work ethic made it so that I had an absolute blast on my wedding day. If I had to do it all again, I'd still pick this venue with no hesitation.

This venue is amazing! Beautiful ballroom and the outdoor ceremony lawn at night is so so pretty! The Bridal Suite was large enough to hold our bridal party without being too cramped and was decorated in such pretty neutral colors. All of our guests were amazed at this gem located in Cobb County! We highly recommend them for the pristine gorgeous venue as well as their excellent service.

Where to even begin! As soon as you pull up to the fairytale gates you are greeted with so many on site parking spots for your guests! A lot of places we looked at were quite a distance to get to from the parking lots. Once you round the turn and the venue comes into view, all I could think was WOW. It’s beyond beautiful. It’s so secluded sitting back tucked in the trees that you feel all by yourself. The bridal suite is beyond gorgeous! The attention to detail in there is something spectacular between the chandeliers, beautiful couch, vanities, and even a shimmer in the paint on the walls - I could not have felt more like a princess getting ready in there. SO many photo ops! The main ballroom was no surprise gorgeous! The ceilings are HUGE and there is a giant magical chandelier that will stop you in your tracks with so much room for celebrating all night. I could go on and on about how much magic I felt in the air here but it would take all day. The owners are there to support you all the way through and we’re so easy to work with to make sure your day is perfect! I just cannot recommend this venue enough. Thanks to everyone here for making my event perfect!

What a beautiful venue! We got the chance to be a part of a beautiful styled shoot with other vendors at Whitestone Reserve, and the venue was nothing short of amazing! The bridal suit is an absolute dream, and the outdoor space makes it for a picture perfect event! From the perfect landscape, to the interior space and details, it is evident that Melanie and Rhett takes pristine care of the entirety of the venue. Whitestone Reserve does not disappoint, and we highly recommend!

In addition to this venue being gorgeous… the owners are the best… very thoughtful and so accommodating. The bridal suite was the the perfect place to get those dream bridal and getting ready photos. They thought of everything in the small details even adding shimmer to the walls to enhance the cinderella feel. I can’t really describe to do it justice… you have to see it yourself. Thats not all. The sparkle embedded in the ceremony aisle… just WOW! Who wouldn’t want to walk down that aisle! Then you have the ornate and show-stopping chandelier in the ballroom!!! That alone made me fall in LOVE with this place. The versatility of the aesthetics gives you options…you can have the laid back farmhouse feel AND the elegant sophisticated feel… they married the two styles together perfectly…genius move on their parts to make an ideal space for anyone no matter what your style is. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Go see it! You can thank me later! Lol
