Spectacular Venue!

Not only is this venue beyond gorgeous, but the team at Southern Exchange is an absolute pleasure to work with. Michael was so open with us and made sure that our vision was executed. Our guests raved about the venue and the spectacular food! I knew as soon as a I walked into the Whitehall Ballroom that this was the place we would get married and my choice was confirmed time and time again. If you are looking for a beautiful venue for your wedding and amazing food, look no further than Southern Exchange!

Bridal extravaganza of Atlanta

Just visited this location for a bridal expo, and it's breathtaking. The only deal breaker for me would be parking, since their doing construction around the area, but you can always have valet.

We used the Grant Loft for a Gala event. The room was beautiful! It brought a great ambiance to the event. The location of the DJ, bar, and catering tables were perfect and there was still plenty of room for tables, dancing, and mingling. The hallway was perfect for entrance tables and anything else we wanted displayed. Guests were really comfortable coming in and out of the room. The venue location through the sky-walk was wonderful and convenient. Their customer service was absolutely amazing. Any question I had was quickly answered and everything was extremely organized! I strongly recommend the Southern Exchange Ballrooms for any event!!
