The Historic Pace House

This venue is ideal for weddings, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, private dinners and corporate events.

The Historic Pace House was built with the remains of the 17-room antebellum home of Vinings founder Hardy Pace. The house served as General Sherman’s temporary headquarters where he planned the siege of Atlanta in 1864. Hardy’s son, Solomon Pace, returned home after the Civil War to find the home in ruins.

Sometime between 1865 and 1874, Solomon painstakingly rebuilt the home—albeit more modestly—from doors, windows and remnants of several small cabins that survived the fire of the main house.

Today, the Pace House consists of three rooms: a parlor, a dining room and a bridal room. 

On the National Register of Historic Places, the Historic Pace House is located in the Vinings neighborhood of Atlanta. 

Now guests can use this historic property to make history for themselves. With a warm, rustic ambience, the Pace House features a versatile reception area that is perfect for any occasion. Both buildings are connected to a spacious open deck area which can be transformed into your dance floor, cocktail area or DJ station during your event.

"We got married at the Historic Pace House and it couldn't have been more perfect thanks to the catering and staff at Saratoga Event Group. They made sure we were well taken care of the entire night of the wedding and were so nice to all of our guests. I would highly recommend them for any event that you want to have!"

"The Pace House looked so stunning and we are still blown away how gorgeous everything looked once it was all together. You all really were not lying about the A team! We didn’t worry about a single thing all night long. Your staff kicked so much butt that night and a special shout out for Myers on taking such great care of us all night long. We are forever grateful for you all for making our wedding a night we will never forget."

We couldn’t have asked for it to go any smoother and we were blessed with such perfect weather.
