Buckhead Wedding Venue
Cathedral of Christ the King weddings
For a small wedding, look at D'Youville Chapel, listed at seats 30 and a limited bridal party. The Catholic cathedral on Peachtree Road schedules weddings on Saturdays at noon, 2 pm and 6 pm, with up to three weddings each weekend. Non parishioners can book at the higher rate, and about six months of marriage preparation is required by the Archdiocese. Each party has 75 minutes from the start time to finish the ceremony, photos and cleanup.
Ceremony And Reception Spaces
| Space | Guests | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| D'Youville Chapel | Seats 30 and a limited bridal party | No organ or piano, so couples bring their own music. |
How It Photographs
No flash during the ceremony. Shooting is from the choir loft, the side aisles or behind the last guests, never on the altar or center aisle, and the courtyard between the Cathedral and the ministry office is the suggested spot for photos before. Drones and roving cameras are not allowed.

How I Would Photograph A Wedding Here
A small chapel is about the light through the windows and the walk down a short aisle. I check the rules on flash and where I may stand, then plan family photographs on the steps outside right after the ceremony.
A small wedding is a gift for photographs. Everyone fits in the frame, the toasts are personal, and there is time to wander for portraits without leaving guests waiting.
Ask where you will get ready. A bright room with a big window makes the dress, the details and those first quiet minutes look their best, and at a small wedding it is often where the best candid photographs happen.
Questions To Ask Cathedral of Christ the King
- Can we bring in an outside caterer for a cultural menu, and is there a fee?
- Is the small package allowed on our day of the week, and how far ahead can we book it?
- Does the guest limit count the officiant and the photographer?
- Where can we take portraits, and is the space private to us the whole time?
Send me the answers and your date, and I will plan the photographs and the film around them. Check your date.
Plan The Day
A Wedding Day At Cathedral of Christ the King
Cathedral of Christ the King is an indoor venue, so the light inside stays the same all day and the sunset is a bonus, not a deadline. I plan twenty minutes right at sunset for the two of you outside the doors, and we time the toasts or the first dance so nobody misses dinner.
The times below are worked out from the sunset in Atlanta on the 15th of each month, with daylight saving included. Move everything earlier in winter and later in June.
| Month | Ceremony | Portraits Begin | Sunset | Blue Hour Ends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May | 6:45 PM | 7:30 PM | 8:30 PM | 9:00 PM |
| October | 5:20 PM | 6:05 PM | 7:05 PM | 7:35 PM |
Getting ready photos usually start about two hours before the ceremony, so book hair and makeup to finish thirty minutes before I arrive.
