Something to see on Peachtree…

A few weeks ago, I got invited to the fancy pants, grand opening party for this new event space in downtown Atlanta, the Grand Atrium @ 200 Peachtree (the old Macy’s building).  I rallied some colleagues and we placed it on our Outlook calendars as a v., v. important biznuss meeting.

All of the caterers I regularly work with, Bold American Catering, Dennis Dean Catering (my fav!) + Affairs to Remember, were there to mingle + fatten us up w/ treats in hopes of sparking our interest in using the space.  Success.  It was absolutely gorgeous!  It was like something right out of a 1920′s movie with its breathtaking grand chandeliers!

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to take any pictures of the space because I was too busy balancing stuffing my face with tasty hors d’oeuvres in one hand, and sipping cocktails + hugging vendor-friends with the other – but you HAVE to see it, particularly if you are planning a large event anytime soon.  (Frankly, I’m not even sure that a picture would do it justice.)

Here’s a link to its website: http://200peachtree.com/grandatrium_interior.html

Now, I just need to see the newly-renovated Buckhead Theatre, and I should be good to go for my next event season!
