They're extremely affordable and have different packages from basic lighting to a full blown professional sound system with interactive lights and effects. I highly recommend this space for someone that wants a lot of bang for their buck! They also have rehersal spaces for rent in the back, but there's a waiting list to get in these amazing climate controled spaces. Plenty of Parking, lots of awesome art galleries on either side and everyone there is very accomidating!

Little Tree Studios is absolutely wonderful. I hosted a private birthday party there last month…read moreand everything was top notch. I rented out their event space and had a band play on the stage. I was surprised at how good the sound system sounded for a rental space. Best of all is that it was really affordable too. This place gets 5 stars from me!

You had a chose of signature clothing, jewelry, candles/oils and spices. The customer services was amazing. They had a DJ that kept everyone entertained. The vibe was a retro hip hop feel. The Upper Room also has a full bar. OMG, one os their specialty cocktail is "The Falling" was some good. Also! They have a signature cocktail for the week, which is the Smoked Fig Manhattan. I was told it is a must try. All in all the space is beautiful and I'm you will walk away with something if not many items.

It was in what I would expect to be the main room, which was very open, clean, and welcoming. There's a stage up front and the rest of the room is clear hardwood floors: perfect for a dance class but it'd work for a multitude of events. The entire center seems new, and I was definitely impressed by the grounds, complete with basketball courts and a soccer field. While Clarkston may have never been on my radar before this event, they're certainly lucky to have a community center like this one. #yelp365 24/365

What a wonderful place to host a small wedding. With their serene, picturesque back patio area and…read moregood-sized dining hall, they can accommodate parties of several dozen or more. One significant negative is their small restrooms - once person at a time. There is no dedicated parking and street parking just up the road is resident-only, but there are plenty of street spaces nearby, such as along Ponce a short walk away. Recommended if you're gettin' hitched.

We chose this historic home, in our favorite locale of Decatur, for our wedding on May 8. It's a…read moregreat place for an intimate event for 60 guests. The patio served as the setting for our ceremony, while the caterers set up the tables inside for our sit down dinner. The grounds are lovely, the staff is friendly and their rates are reasonable. Everyone loved the home and once my creative friends unleashed their magic on the decorative touches, it came together nicely. A few slight limitations (amplified sound) kept the party in check but the evening was wonderful for dancing inside and socializing on the patio. The home is very photogenic. I can't wait to see the pictures. If you are looking for a small sweet place for your special event, I highly recommend the Mary Gay House.

This was an interesting museum to check out last month. For smaller exhibits, there is actually a…read morelot to read and absorb here. My clients and I parked in the courthouse parking deck, which was about $6, I believe, and we took a short walk over. The bathrooms were clean, and we were basically the only ones in the museum besides workers on a weekday. We checked out the Flat Rock exhibit first. This is what drew me to the museum in the first place as I have been wanting to check out the actual Flat Rock Archives for a long time but just haven't had the chance to. This exhibit and all the exhibits on-site here were free. This was a fairly small exhibit, but like the others here, there was quite a bit of info to digest, so I recommend taking your time to read through everything or whatever catches your eye. After the Flat Rock exhibit, we checked out the Decorative Arts exhibit, showcasing some interesting old pieces in the museum's permanent collection. Then, we made our way to the Dekalb County history exhibit, showcasing the past 200 years of Dekalb County. This was probably my favorite exhibit on display, just because there was so much info on different places and people that as a transplant I hear a lot about but don't really know all the ins and outs about. It was all very interesting and informative. Lots of civil rights history and even info on places like Buford Highway and its history - a stretch I travel daily but didn't know much about. We ended the self-guided tour with a walk through the Avondale Estates exhibit, displaying the area's controversial history. I had heard some of the history of that area on the news a while back, but had no clue that it was similar to Forsyth County (and a lot of areas historically I'm sure) in that they basically did everything they could to keep non-whites out as long as they could. There was more history on the people of that area and how things have improved. Once again, there is a lot to digest, but definitely worth a walk through and some time spent. I would highly recommend this museum and all the current exhibits if you're a history buff or just want to learn more about the community, whether a transplant like me or visitor. I would definitely return to see other exhibits in the future, and apparently, this is a very popular wedding venue also, so there's that! Check it out if you haven't yet.
