The Ellerslie Depot

Ellerslie Depot is a lovingly restored historic train station venue in Ellerslie, Georgia, offering an atmospheric setting for private celebrations, small business gatherings and community occasions. Located between Columbus and Atlanta, this former railway building combines period character with practical facilities for organisers planning an intimate event.

The depot can accommodate up to 65 guests, with comfortable seating for around 48 to 50 people at tables. It is suitable for birthday parties, holiday gatherings, family reunions, bridal and baby showers, rehearsal dinners, receptions, club meetings and business meetings. The restored building retains original features including wooden floors, high ceilings, historic siding and an antique piano, creating a distinctive backdrop for relaxed celebrations and photographs.

Event organisers have access to a fitted kitchen with an electric cooker, refrigerator and microwave, along with a selection of white and blue chairs and rectangular and round tables. Central heating and air conditioning, ceiling fans, two restrooms and an accessible entrance help make the venue suitable throughout the year. The grounds also include a gazebo that can provide an attractive outdoor setting for photographs, ceremonies or informal moments during an event.

Ellerslie Depot operates as a straightforward venue hire location, allowing organisers to plan their own celebration around the available space and facilities. A community pavilion with picnic tables and electricity is also available separately through the local fire department. A live availability calendar and reservation request process help organisers check dates and begin planning. The venue has clear usage policies, including restrictions on alcohol, smoking and pets, so organisers can understand the arrangements before booking.
