Melting Point Weddings at the Foundry Park Inn & Spa

Unique, memorable, out of the box, quintessentially Athens; all can be used to describe Athens Weddings at The Melting Point.

The Melting Point is the Foundry Park Inn & Spa’s music venue, pub and restaurant.  Playing host to a variety of acts most nights of the week, The Melting Point has been dubbed Athens most intimate music venue.    

This space has a great mix of Athens history as it was used as the original ‘melting point’ when The Foundry Park Inn was once a true Foundry where blacksmiths crafted fine works such as the UGA Arch and the Double-Barreled Cannon. Exposed bricks and original masonry from the 1850’s survive to this day.

Within the past 2 years, the Melting Point has become more popular for weddings – especially to those couples who wish to host a truly spectacular Athens wedding that is unforgettable to friends and family alike.  With its multi-level layout including outdoor terrace, superior sound system and historic character, The Melting Point is one venue that cannot be matched in style and character.

Couples enjoy the best of both worlds – they have both a soaring indoor space, with the option to open large glass doors onto the outdoor terrace.

Guests never miss a moment and despite its size the venue is more intimate. The variety of levels allows everyone to be part of the action – from the first dances to the bouquet toss.

Since the Melting Point is first and foremost a music venue, bands (and Dj’s!) have all they need to keep guests entertained.  The venue comes equipped with all sound equipment including a highly skilled sound technician.  What’s even better – all catering, planning and service is offered by The Foundry Park Inn.  We can even help you to book your band!

The space is great for parties both large and small.  Hosting events from 50-350, The Melting point is seemingly the perfect space for a variety of couples who wish to throw a true Athens, Georgia Wedding.

Ellen & Trevor – July 16th 2011 – The Melting Point

Ellen & Trevor decided on sunny July for their Melting Point wedding reception, and their day turned out to be perfect – as seen in their amazing photos.

Ellens bouquet, created by Gardenia Floral Design, was quite possibly the prettiest of the summer.

Photographer Courtney Goldman captured one of the sweetest moments of the day – the first look.  Since the bride and groom choose to see one another prior to the ceremony, a wonderful photo op was created. 

Enjoy their slideshow here.

The bride prepared for the big moment in our Presidential Suite, while the groom enjoyed the day with his groomsmen in our Tradewinds King Suite.  Their first look took place on the Melting Point Terrace, then it was off to the UGA campus to get some amazing photos of the couple at their Alma Mater.

Their ceremony took place in Galleria Two, and the couple and their guests partied the night away at their reception in The Melting Point, as The Highballs played.
