Possibly one of my favorite places to attend meetings at is the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. They offer a multitude of meeting room styles varying from personal settings that can accommodate only eight people all the way to meeting rooms that can accommodate 300! The meeting rooms are very nice and accommodate most needs, not to mention the spectacular floor to ceiling windows that really accentuate the area. My meeting was in the Hardin Conference Room and luckily was scheduled for noon, so we were able to have a nice catered lunch there and then walk around the garden which really topped off the meeting. While walking around I did happen to ask one of the employees there what the other meeting rooms were like and they kindly escorted me to their largest room which was Day Hall. This room was spectacular and the woman also told me that the decor went along with the green theme all the way to the organic lighting they had. I could easily see a conference being held here. They also have the option of having meeting outdoors for the more adventurous clients. But do not be fooled, this location is not just for the nature lovers. It also has a very posh outdoor kitchen area that could be a place to host some sort of food demonstrations if that is your line of work. They have a cafeteria inside the garden also which helps for the business people who are running late to the meeting and don't have time to stop at a restaurant downtown, find parking, etc. Overall I would say that the Atlanta Botanical Gardens really cater to the needs of any type of conference. The rooms they have might not be traditional conference rooms, but if you are really trying to shine new light on your meeting this location is a home run.

A close friend of my family was married at the Atlanta Botanical Garden last summer, and the scene was nothing less than perfect. He asked me to help out with some of the wedding logistics, so I was able to interact with the staff and see the grounds well in advance of the event. Needless to say, the Botanical Gardens are nothing less than spectacular - a perfect venue for a perfect day. They have great facilities, areas for receptions, and many places for photo opportunities. The pictures from the wedding are absolutely beautiful! My friend's wedding took place at the Alston Overlook and most of the wedding guests could see the backdrop of downtown Atlanta in the background of the ceremony. It was almost as if we got away from the distant hustle and bustle of the city to participate in what ended up being a beautiful ceremony. As for the people, we couldn't have asked for better staff. The Botanical Gardens has connections with many local catering companies. My friend's wedding was catered by Sun in my Belly, which offered a great-tasting meal with lots of options for my vegetarian girlfriend and carnivorous parents alike. The food also looked fantastic: as an artist, I was more than impressed by the visual presentation, especially given the variety of colors that were swirling all around us. The food, the flowers, and the afternoon were cast in hues of green, pink, blue, and purple. I must admit, the whole affair was quite romantic, and when I find the right girl, I just might ask her to marry me at the Botanical Gardens.
