The Veranda is a great place to have an event!

We had our daughter’s reception at The Veranda. We planned this event in about 4 weeks. When I say they were on the ball – they were on the ball. Summerlin and Gary answered questions quickly. They gave us an impromptu tour. Both venues are beautiful. We went with the Veranda as we were looking for a smaller more intimate place as we only had 70 people. If you haven’t seen the Veranda, it is awesome. Such a beautiful place. A little more casual which is what we were looking for. It has a few stained glass windows that were perfect for family pictures. After dark, the lighting outside is just beautiful.

From the contract emails to us leaving Sunday night – everything went smoothly. All the staff were very helpful. We were thankful for being allowed to drop off some items a couple of days ahead of time. We loved using the beautiful bridal suite next door at the Venue for the day. Our guests were also impressed with the staff and the bartenders. If we needed something while at our event– Joe and Summerlin would take care of it immediately.

We received many comments about how good the food was (Saucehouse). We choose the tenderloin and chicken. The fried chicken was some of the best I have ever had. Sides and appetizers were also great! We appreciated being able to bring in our own cake as well.

You can’t go wrong using the Veranda. Very, very nice place with awesome food and people.

Absolutely perfect.

We had the most wonderful wedding weekend in Athens thanks to The Venue on Broad and all the staff. The Venue was perfect for our friends and family! Everything was beautiful too! It's conveniently located near downtown so there was so much for our guest to do and they were able to walk to their hotels if they wanted!! It was the perfect location in Athens and all the touches were so magical for our special day. The bridal suite made it so easy to get ready too!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, every moment was incredible. From the start, The Venue on Broad impressed us with their attention to detail. The team was accommodating and truly made our vision come to life.

The staff's positive attitude made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. The food provided was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, exceeding our expectations. It was also super convenient that Saucehouse was next door to cater. They truly made it stress free. (...or as stressfree as a wedding can be.)

We highly recommend The Venue on Broad for any couple looking for a venue that combines charm, professionalism, and a touch of magic to create unforgettable memories.
