About Constellations
Originally constructed in 1910 and reimagined in 2018 as a culturally based workspace with civic & social causes leading our way, Constellations is “where stars come together and shine.” We provide upscale and understated space for meetings, events, and extraordinary weddings.

THE WEDDING ALBUM a constellations press recording
A
t Constellations we are proud to share meaningful moments with a community of culture-loving people looking to make a positive difference in the world. At the top of our list, helping to make memorable and magical weddings happen in Sweet Auburn, birthplace of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement. In addition to a historic backdrop of exposed brick and beautiful texture, we hope our 1910 building brings joy and good vibes. Bringing us happiness are the smiling faces of friends and families, the bountiful love of newlyweds, and the phenomenal photography
capturing it all in the moment and providing pictures that will last a lifetime. To the couples, families, friends, and photographers who have chosen to make Constellations their own, we are grateful. The Wedding Album is a snapshot into just a few of the 25 weddings we’ve been proud to toast on Auburn Avenue in 2020 & 2021. I hope you will enjoy this book, and these historical moments. with love,
Brooke Morris Rasheed
