William Root House

The William Root House is a historic wedding location in downtown Marietta, Georgia. The house was erected in 1845 by Hannah and William Root, who were among the first to establish Marietta. Today, the property serves as a museum and a private event venue, complete with magnificent grounds. The mansion and grounds have been meticulously restored, making it suitable for rustic wedding ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, showers, and other events. The town square is located next to the Marietta Square Market and can be accessed on foot in five minutes. Atlanta and Hartsfield-Atlanta International Airport are also around a 30-minute drive away. Indoor and outdoor event areas are available at the William Root House. The courtyard is a multi-purpose facility surrounded by well-kept vegetation. The courtyard can seat up to 70 people for a seated meal and up to 150 people for a ceremony or cocktail hour. The location has a lovely inside room with seats for up to 24 guests for smaller, more intimate occasions. A vaulted ceiling, white shiplap walls, raw wood floors, and a kitchen with marble countertops and a log cabin accent wall characterize the space. The William Root House crew is dedicated to making you and your guests feel at ease. While you celebrate your special day, the museum and exhibits can be made available for your guests to enjoy. Venue workers can assist with setup and cleaning of your event in collaboration with your caterer or event planner. If needed, tables and chairs are provided. For the comfort of your guests, the location also provides enough parking.
