Chatelle and Jill are absolutely amazing!!!! They were so amazing to work with and the space is absolutely breathtaking! They made my friends wedding perfect and went way above and beyond to make it perfect! Thank you so much ladies for being so awesome!! Lisa the caterer was absolutely amazing as well!

We cant say enough good things about Gala. From the first time we took a tour of the facility and met Shatelle and the team, we were sold! Gala made the process so extremely easy for us, stayed in contact and answered all our questions, and made sure we knew what to expect during each phase of planning. Even when we had a small hiccup days leading up to the wedding regarding weather, Shatelle was on it with a recommendation for a solution. We couldn’t be happier; having our wedding at Gala Events allowed us to be able to have the wedding of our dreams! We highly recommend!

When I got engaged back in February 2021, I had no idea where to start or where to go when deciding on a place to get married. All I knew was that my then-fiance wanted to have our ceremony outside, and I just wanted it to be nice and budget-friendly. After googling a few places in Marietta, I come across the Gala Events Facility. In March, my mom and I go visit, and the first thing I say is, "The pictures do this place no justice." Taking the property tour and meeting with Chatelle (Event Coordinator) for the first time, I knew it was the place for me, but I had to consider other options because I didn't want to fall in love with the first place I saw. Understandably, Chatelle allowed me to look and see what else was out there, and as we parted, she confidently said, "You'll be back."

And she was right! By the beginning of April, I had signed the contract, made the down payment to hold my date, and the rest was history. One of the fantastic things that the Gala offered was that it didn't require payment plans. In our finalization meeting, my fiance and I made our final payment 30 days before the wedding. That helped us tremendously pay off our balance and make our day as stress-free as possible.

We honestly had the dream team working with us for our wedding. Jill served as our officiant/second coordinator. She was very easy to talk to, organized, and went above and beyond for our needs. She even helped us when we forgot to set up the seating chart and printed the names for us. She also helped us with our vows, providing pre-written templates.

Joshua provided our wedding cake, and it was the best cake I've ever tasted! He eloquently made our vision come true with the cake design we had in mind. Oakley and Cayden (Oakley's Provisions) served as our caters. They were so kind and offered so much for our first tasting. Teri (The European Garden) provided flowers for my bouquet, mini bouquets for my bridesmaids, boutonnieres, and corsages for the MOB and MOG. She took my Pinterest inspo and turned it into something magical. She is such a sweetheart and highly knowable about floral arrangements.

Tina (TMH Events) was our photographer. She was such a beautiful and kind spirit and did our engagement photos. We were truly taken care of in her hands, and we gave her complete creative control of what poses and backgrounds looked best for us.

Chatelle is amazing at what she does. She is the epitome of customer satisfaction, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with her. If we decided to go another direction with a vendor or needed suggestions on how much alcohol to buy for our guests, she had an answer. She was always available through call, text, and email to answer our questions. She even provided outside decoration and table linens. My heart was so full when she said she'd make sure our day was perfect, she really overdelivered. We couldn't have it any other way!

To the Gala facility, thank you from Brian and Farrah ❤

We came across this little jewel of a venue when my Maid of Honor sent me a link. Gala Events Facility met all our requirements. It was a local, reasonably priced, all-inclusive venue, that eliminated the need for a day of wedding coordinator. And most importantly, it kept us in range of a $10,000 budget.

When I walked in the venue, the first thing I noticed was it's charm. It was bright and beautiful with a variety of table decor present. At the time I met with Misty (no longer with them) and instantly liked her. Within a short time we got an estimate, paid the deposit and they preceded to set us up with a variety of vendors to sample and enjoy. It took a lot of stress off. There were a few vendors we located on our own, such as our officiant, photographer and videographer, and DJ, but we were very happy with the variety of vendor selections they provided.

We had to delay our wedding a few times due to the pandemic, but everyone was willing to work with us, from Pam, to Connie to Chantel. When an issue arose with our DJ, Chantel assisted immediately and had a new contact/replacement for us within 30 minutes of notification, which was also in the evening, well after normal business hours but she still answered. God bless you.

The day of, was flawless. We never had so much fun. We didn’t need to worry about a single thing. Jill, our DOC (who doubles as an officiant so she could have married us if an emergency arose), also did cake design in her past life and made our wedding cake look amazing with the accessory flowers. She was sweet but firm as she keep us on track, feed and happy. In fact, all these ladies have multitude of talents in their backgrounds that allow them to provide assistance in any area as necessary.

Gala Events Facility. Best decision ever. Best wedding ever, best vendor ever. Truly a blessing on a budget.

This is a beautiful venue, and it was perfect for my wedding. Chatelle and Jill worked tirelessly to make sure my event was perfect. The price is affordable, and they put you in touch with everything you need from caterers (Adriane's is the bomb) to the dj (he came to the rescue after my original dj couldn't perform and rocked my wedding & reception)and cake (Joshua created the exact cake I wanted, and it tasted HEAVENLY) and photographers. I definitely recommend checking Gala out for your event! They helped to make my wedding a perfect night that we wont forget.

These ladies did an awesome some!! Thank you so much for everything you did to make our day amazing!

I felt like a princess marrying my knight! Everything was perfect!

I got married May, 8th 2021 at Gala. I could write a book from start to finish about how amazing and beautiful this venue is, but it would take all day. The staff was beyond amazing and helpful. My day of coordinator Chantel was AWESOME and I had another lady, but I can’t remember her name, sorry. The day of my wedding the staff kept everything in order. My wedding day was so much more than what I expected. I promise you, I was told that I wouldn’t have to worry about anything and they kept their word! Misty, Pam and Connie the whole staff made sure everything was taken care of from the moment I visited the venue. Please, please use all their vendors, you will not regret it! I looked around at other venues in the Atlanta area and no one could match the price, value and friendliness, just everything. I wouldn’t recommend you to go anywhere else, but here!

Our wedding was 5/28/2021 and it was absolutely amazing! The planning process was seamless and the ladies of Gala answered all the of the questions we had and were so incredibly patient. Jill, our hostess for our wedding is a real life super hero, she literally saved our day! Jill willingly became our officiant when our original officiant did not show up, we are incredibly grateful for her! Jills's calming spirit was a breath of fresh air when everything seemed to be going wrong, between the rain, running late and no officiant she made it happen and all with a smile in her face. Jill was extremely helpful the rest of the night.. Jill went above and beyond and added ideas and personal touches. Just when we thought Jill couldn't do enough, she meet up with me a week later to resign our marriage license, because our original was lost in the rain the night of the wedding! We would recommend Gala to anyone looking for a great venue with real people that CARE about your day!

When we first happened upon Gala Events we took one look and said, ”This is the place!” From the very first meeting with Misti, to our wedding day on May 1st, we experience nothing but first class service. Our original wedding date was August 22, 2020, but we had to reschedule due to the pandemic. Misti answered all of our questions and reassured us that she would get us rebooked with no problem. After we set our date, Connie, took over as coordinator and helped us design the decor to compliment our 1920s Harlem Renaissance theme. The table decor, the centerpieces, and our personal touches were put together to make our dream come to life.

Weddings can sometimes be stressful, but any question we had was quickly answered with no problem. We worked with several of their vendors for the cake, catering and floral design. Not many can say that they remember how delicious the wedding cake and food tasted or how unique the flowers were, but our guests are still raving about their experience.

Connie and her team made our day one-of-a-kind. We had special requests, such as boxes of personalized decorations and wedding signs. I handed it all over the day before the wedding, and it was like Connie read our minds and knew exactly what to do and what went where. Little touches, like making sure a special meal was prepared for us to have after the wedding, setting up a special table outside for our cigar bar, and coaching us through our cake tasting and toasts is what made us have a 5-star experience.

Other factors that went a long way in helping us work with Gala was that the cost was very reasonable and we were able to provide our own alcohol. They also worked well with our personal outside vendors.

You only get one day, one chance to make something special happen. Gala delivered on all levels. We are excited to start our lives together, and it all began at Gala.
