Venue Setting

The Corner District, formally known as A.W. Roberts and Sons General Store, is an eclectic Atlanta-area wedding and event venue revolving around two century-old buildings and a city park. The property was built in 1911 and served as Ball Ground’s general store and warehouse until 1970, when it was sold and converted into an antique store. In 2010, it was repurchased and the rehabilitation process began. New mechanical systems were installed, the original front doors and windows were repaired and the upstairs was returned to its original open floor plan with skylights, hardwood flooring and exposed brick walls. The warehouse underwent extensive rehabilitation and now has beautiful hardwood floors, bathrooms and a bridal suite. We are excited to host weddings and special events to breathe new life into the buildings. The Corner District has a vintage industrial and speakeasy feel that can be transformed to fit the vision of any couple.

Inside Scoop

The city offers the adjacent park for an additional fee, giving guests an optional outdoor event space. The surrounding sites, such as the train tracks and historic downtown create unique photo opportunities.

Venue Features
The scene:
The Corner District sits on the corner of downtown Ball Ground's main street and city park. The main building was once the city's general store and the warehouse behind it was where they traded and stored corn and cotton for the store. The buildings have been given new life by installing new mechanical systems and rehabbing the building in a way that returned them to their original floor plans with hardwood flooring, skylights and exposed brick walls in the parlor - which make for beautiful backdrops for photo-ops!
Design:
The Corner District has a vintage industrial and speakeasy feel that can be transformed to fit the vision of any couple. Both buildings are truly blank canvases that can be turned into a masterpiece that will match your event theme with minimal decor items. Our onsite linen and fabrics company can drape off parts of the buildings to create cocktail lounges, wedding back drops and more.
Extra perks:
Tables, chiavari chairs, linens and sound equipment are all included in our packages. Our open floor plans and onsite tables and chairs allow for many unique seating layouts.
