Vow Renewals: Why, When, and How?

Fayettedepot_admin — Thu, 19 May 2022 20:07:47 +0000

Why

Vow renewals are often used by married couples to reaffirm and recommit their love on a given anniversary. They are intimate events surrounded by friends and family, making our space the perfect setting to host this milestone moment. Couples can use this time to reflect on their accomplishments as partners and the love that has sustained them through life.

When

The best part about vow renewals is the fact that they can happen anytime, as many times as you want. While some opt to renew their vows annually, most use it as a time to celebrate a larger anniversary (such as 10, 25, or 50 years).

How

Once you have decided to do vow renewals, the first place to start is picking a venue. The Fayette Depot is perfect for this event, with a gorgeous outdoor space to set the scene. Decorate similar to a low-key wedding, with a wedding cake to match! Lastly, refer to our blog about food catering in the area for options to cater your event. Whether using live entertainment, your own music, or our Spotify playlists, the event will be perfect for you and your partner.

Fayetteville: A Brief History

Fayettedepot_admin — Thu, 09 Dec 2021 17:35:50 +0000

Considering our historic roots, we are deeply invested in what connects us to our community. We wanted to share some of Fayetteville’s history that makes us proud to be a central part of this town.

The city of Fayetteville is named for George Washington’s friend and aide, Marquis De Lafayette. During the Revolutionary War, Lafayette served as an ally to American colonists and their efforts. In the 1820’s, Fayetteville was named the county seat and built what is now known as the oldest courthouse in Georgia.

After being raided by the Union cavalry in 1864, post Civil War Fayetteville rebuilt and recovered. The railroad that ran between Atlanta and Fort Valley, passing through Fayetteville, began operations in 1888. With this, Atlanta extended its city limits to reach the courthouse. In 1902, the Fayette Depot was built to serve the railroad and its community. This chain of events fostered growth for the town and allowed it to become what it is today.

Come check out the Fayette Depot to get a firsthand look at the historic roots of our venue, and find out what makes us the perfect space for your next event.
