If you aren't renting a car: Shuttles and Taxis

Shuttle between Atlanta airport and Athens:

You can take a shuttle from the Atlanta airport to Athens. One such shuttle service is the AAA Airport Express, Inc. Visit their website and/or call (800) 354-7874.

Note the AAA Airport Express shuttle departs from the Holiday Inn Express (and the Hilton Garden Inn and Foundry Park Inn). (If you book a room at the Travelodge, the shuttle can pick you up at the Holiday Inn Express, the Holiday Inn, and the Courtyard Marriot, which are all in close walking distance.)

In-town taxi services: 

You can walk downtown from all the hotels I've suggested, but you'll need a taxi to get to the wedding. 

You might try A&A Athens Taxi at (706) 353-2424, Ken Cab Company at (706) 717-0104, or Top Dog Transportation at (706) 552-0744. 

How many of you would rather not drive to the wedding/reception, whether or not you plan to rent a car? If enough people want to take a taxi there, you could either take a cab together or we can set up a shuttle from the Holiday Inn Express to the Botanical Garden. What do you think?
