If you want people to talk about your wedding for years to come, USE THE ATLANTA EVENT CENTER AT OPERA! The ambiance is unlike any other and the staff works with you every step of the way! Phenomenal staff. AND THE FOOD - OMG! Their Chef is the best. People are STILL calling us telling us how they enjoyed the food. You know the saying," you get what you pay for?" Well, you get all of that and more with Opera! Ask for Lindsay! And thanks to Brian, Meena, and Julie for making the event a success!

What more can I say? Opera Atlanta in the end pulled our evening together beautifully. Opera is not known for it's weddings but I definitely think that this event should put their services on the map. The day of our wedding Jennifer, the Logistics & Operations manager, took control of taking items off of my checklist and was always there to hand me and my wedding party a much needed drink.

I will also say that the Event Manager Lindsay was always there to answer questions and take the reigns on getting us what we needed to achieve the atmosphere that we wanted for our big day. I will warn you she is a hugger so you can rest assured that you will immediately feel comfortable and welcome when you enter the grand Opera house. :-)

If you are looking for traditional this place will accommodate you beautifully however if you are looking for interesting, out of this world and an event that your guests won't stop talking about... This place is it! An amazing venue that goes way beyond a nightlife hot spot. That takes a lot for me to say but I will own those words.

A very happy client,
Kyle
