The ceremony time will remain 5:30pm. The reception will still occur at the Oak Hill Pavilion, 24 Veterans Memorial Highway NE, Rome, Georgia 30161, immediately following the ceremony. Anyone using the shuttles from the hotels will be transported to St. Peter’s Church for the ceremony. The shuttles will be outside the church after the ceremony ends to then transport those guests to the reception. Shuttles will also transport those guests back to the hotels after the reception ends. The dress code is Black Tie Optional.All events are adults only.

Q + A

Visit our beautiful downtown, filled with boutiques, restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, and a brewery. Enjoy the walking paths along the rivers, and you can even take your drink with you as long as you remain on Broad Street.

Go on one of our favorite hikes and visit Martha Berry's other home - the House o' Dreams on top of Lavender Mountain! To access the trail, go through the main entrance gate to Berry College, where you can get a map at the visitor entrance. The trail head beginning is close to Frost Chapel on Berry's Mountain Campus. The trail is approximately 2.6 miles uphill and features panoramic views of Rome. The entire trip is a little over 5 miles and takes a little over 2 hours.
