Starting off the month right by writing a review. I didn't know this venue existed until I was…read moreinvited to a birthday party for my friend, which I attended on yesterday. Finding parking wasn't bad and the venue is very spacious. My friend knows how to throw a good party so of course it was decorated beautifully and had awesome entertainment. The food and drinks were phenomenal and the outdoor space was so nice. My husband and I had a great time and we will definitely keep this venue in mind for the future.

We held our wedding reception at Avenue D this past June. Laura, Chuck, and Sam were PHENOMENAL to…read morework with. The exquisite and unique space offered a wonderful bridal suite + kitchenette upstairs that was stocked with snacks and bubbly! The downstairs space offered indoor + outdoor space that our guests were able to utilize and enjoy during our reception. The inside was able to fit our 5 person band, a photo booth, bartenders, and cake tables! The outside area was perfect for a June night in Birmingham & made for perfect pictures earlier in the day. The space offered a kitchen for our caterer to use. Also, there were FIVE (!!!!!!) bathrooms for guests to use as well, each with a unique theme and design. Avenue D took such good care of us from the moment we booked them to the day of. We loved working with them!!

If you need an event planner, I highly recommend Tara Vice. She has planned multiple events for me…read moreand they always end up being amazing. She is able to turn the craziest ideas into reality. She is creative, fun, and professional. Tara made the wedding day run smoothly and eliminated all of the stress so we could just enjoy the day. Hiring Any Reason to Plan was the best decision! Funny story- I once had her decorate for a luncheon and the only direction I gave was - "make it pretty" I am sure that is a planners worst nightmare, but she came through, definitely exceeding my expectations.

Centrally located in downtown Birmingham and near a number of businesses and hotels, BridgeStreet…read moreGallery and Loft is as lovely as a venue as they come. This place is an ideal spot for medium to large'ish gatherings (50-150 peeps?) and a perfect setting for any special occasion. Whether it's an art installation, photo gallery, wedding reception, or just a big ol party, there are two floors of quality spaces to work with. There is no elevator unfortunately, but the bathrooms are handicap friendly and there is a separate back entrance for vendors. Parking is a bit limited to alleyways and street parking, but as the area finishes their renovations, I wouldn't be surprised if a parking garage would eventually make its way here. The fun in a raw space is seeing how much it changes for whatever the theme merits. There is a dedicated team here that works to make that vision come true and they're a professional and friendly bunch. I think their operation is stellar from top to bottom that perspective folks should really consider this gem of a venue.

This is an absolutely beautiful little venue! I have never heard of this place until I had a Yelp…read moreevent here last night, and I have to say I was extremely impressed! There are two floors, and our event was on the upstairs. I'm not sure how old the building is, but it has an exposed brick wall painted white, beautiful hardwood (oak looking) floors, with gorgeous strands of light setting the perfect evening event. Not sure if the lights are part of their everyday decor or if they were for Christmas, but it's absolutely stunning! I could see this being a great venue for a rehearsal dinner, work/birthday party, or a small wedding/prom venue (My graduating class of 7 would have had enough room!) My only question is how do I get invited back to this place?! I don't plan events, but this is a place I definitely want to come back to! Just a head's up I only saw street/metered parking, but that's pretty much expected in downtown Birmingham.

I've used Amerson Events for everything from DJs to photographers. I originally found them when…read morehunting for someone to host a Karaoke event for me. I can honestly say that I've never worked with a nicer, more professional "party" company than this. Not only can they Dj and help you make a fool of yourself singing, but they are the kings of party photos. They can use the green-screen photo booths, which are a ton of fun. He hands you a copy of the photo on the spot. Also, he uploads them to a website for you to view and download them... FOR FREE. If you are looking for a business to cover all of your event needs, this is who I recommend.

My friend reserved a table for a group of us, which gives you a time slot to work on your craft. When you are done, they fire it for you, then contact you when it is ready to be picked up. They have such a wide variety of pottery pieces to choose from as well as many paint options and tools. Each paint option was labeled with a number and had a tile showing how the color would end up looking after the firing process, because the wet paint itself is a lighter/different color. Every employee I encountered was a delight, and so helpful. They walked you through the process and helped me with any paint questions I had. I also discovered they have stencils and things like that! There's a big parking lot in the back, or a few spots out front, easy for pick ups. Great experience for any type of outing, and it is family friendly. It's not the biggest space, so I do recommend booking a table. All of the pieces are labeled with a price that comes off in the kiln, and there's a wide range of price ranges for any budget. Some really cute items to choose from. Will be coming back :)
