Starland Bar

145 E Clayton St, Athens, GA 30601



We have reserved tan area of the Starland Bar for an informal, drop-in Wedding Eve Welcome to see our friends and family before the Big Day! Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be available beginning 7pm. Come by to say hello, have a drink, and play some pinball or pool!

Our ceremony will be held in the sanctuary of Athens First United Methodist Church in downtown Athens.



We love your kids, but to allow all guests to relax and enjoy themselves, we have chosen to make our special day adults only. We thank you for your understanding.



We are having an unplugged ceremony. The church has very strict rules regarding photography, so we invite our guests to be fully present and ask you do not use your cell phones during the service. We will happily share the photos captured by our photographer with you and encourage you to take as many photos as you can at the reception!



There is parking available using gate code 0305#. There is a total of 78 spaces in the 3 surrounding lots. All cars can be left overnight but must be removed by 7am on Sunday, March 6th.



If you are unable to attend in person, you can live stream the ceremony! Visit http://athensfirstumc.org/ and scroll down the home page until you see "Worship Services" and click the box labeled "Worship Online." This should redirect you to a new page where you can find "Marriage of Rebecca Wingfield and Ben Rabon" as an option to select. From there, a video player should come up and begin playing.

The wedding reception will immediately follow the ceremony beginning at 6pm. Georgian Hall is about 1.5 blocks away from the church in downtown Athens and is easily walkable.



There are a few stairs to enter the building but there is elevator access with no stairs required in the back; just ask Ben or Rebecca for more information.



There is no dedicated parking for Georgian Hall, but there is downtown parking on the street and in nearby paid decks.
