Rich Leggit DJ'd our wedding on May 31, 2025, in Hilton Head Island, SC, and we're so thankful he…read morewas a part of our day. From the start, Rich was incredibly easy to work with--super responsive, organized, and flexible. He gave us everything we needed to be as involved (or not) in the music selection process as we wanted, which took a lot of pressure off (if I so desired lol). One of the best parts was how easy Rich made it to manage song requests. We were able to collect requests from our guests ahead of time through the RSVP process, which helped us build a playlist of pre-approved songs that we were comfortable with for our child-friendly wedding. This also meant Rich could easily avoid anything we didn't want played--without us having to stress about it on the day of. Rich also went the extra mile to work with us days before the big day. We were able to drop off a USB Drive with MP3's of custom covers recorded by my SIL and her husband to be played during the pre-ceremony seating music. Being capable of incorporating these personal details meant a lot to us. During the reception, Rich found the perfect balance--he got guests out on the dance floor without ever being pushy or over-the-top. He kept the energy just right all evening long, which can be a tough line to walk as I have been to weddings where the DJ would be too over the top and sort of ruin the atmosphere. We had family travel from across the United States to celebrate with us and we wanted it to be easy for people to dance but also chat and catch up. Just a perfect balance for us, but know he clearly asks how involved we wanted him beforehand. So, if you like super involved he can absolutely do that too! The app Black Tie Events promotes for organizing music wasn't the easiest and user friendly for me so we ultimately used Spotify to build out our playlist, and everything came together beautifully. I felt horrible getting our playlist to him at the last possible second (despite him providing everything we could have possibly needed well in advance), so I definitely spent a little extra time creating clearly titled playlists within our wedding folder to make it easier for him, but he was still extremely gracious working with us on a tighter deadline that gave him ample time to do what he needed to do to have everything set for our big day. For us, being able to create a specifically curated music experience made the night feel that much more "us" and ensured we had the vibes we wanted. All around, we had a 10/10 experience and are so glad Rich was our DJ for our wedding!

I can't remember how I heard about Blu Gorilla, but I know I wanted to check it out the second I…read morelearned of its existence. I mean, a backyard supper club that's open to all? I'm so in. Finally the right opportunity presented itself and I assembled a merry crew of Yelpers to check it out on a stunningly gorgeous March evening. Chef Mas invites the public in to his backyard each Thursday and prepares an awesome family-style Italian feast for a $25 suggested buy-in. You're welcome to BYOB, but they provide plenty of water to keep you hydrated. You're encouraged to mingle with the other diners, so I wouldn't recommend this for an intimate date night: I'd definitely bring a few friends and just enjoy the ride. As this is someone's home, you may not get all of the amenities you'd find in a restaurant, but I certainly didn't miss them. Picnic tables, tea lights, and the gorgeous Atlanta weather: you can't really beat that, plus the smell of an open fire. The food is also outstanding. We were treated to an incredible caprese-like salad, homemade pasta with veggies, and a steak and liver combo that I can't stop thinking about. This isn't the place for picky eaters-- you may not know what you're digging in to until you're halfway through, but the Chef is happy to work around specific allergies and the like if you tell him in advance. He's also quite personable (a rarity in chefs, I've found) so be sure to carve out some time after your meal to chat with him. And note: this is a slow experience so be prepared to just relax and enjoy your time there. Be sure to make a reservation via facebook/email as he prepares the proper amount for everyone, and don't go flaking. You'll regret it.

One random day I got an invite that was advertising an "eclectic backyard dinner on the beltline" -…read morehow could I say no to that? And don't worry if your google map brings you to a small neighborhood, and the only signs of "Blu Gorilla" are chalked on the side of a wine box - you're in the right place! Chef Massimiliano (Chef Mas) was once an employee at the Italian consulate (or something of the like), but as many of us do, hated his desk job and had other passions. So (as many of us don't) he decided to quit his day job and follow his dreams. He runs his own catering company, and every Thursday hosts a dinner on the beltline for anyone who would love to join him and tastes his creations. The set-up was truly amazing. Lit with tea lights, scattered with bottles of wine and bug spray, the unpretentious atmosphere allowed you to enjoy a wonderful 5-star like meal without having to worry about which fork to use, proper use of etiquette, and forced conversation - everything that comes with dining in a restaurant. Chef Mas's friends were so welcoming too, talked to us and welcomed us like one of their buddies, everyone was so friendly! The backyard setting was perfect for meeting new and interesting people, and allowed us to just relax and enjoy the food for what it was - simple, elegant, and AMAZING. I think what Chef "Mas" and his friends are doing is great, to provide incredible food, bring together great people-and all in an atmosphere that allows the two to create something memorable and magical. and the menu changes every week, and generally comprises of an appetizer, first course, second course, and dessert. This week it says "the menu will be updated after a trip to the market" - how fresh is that? And of course he gladly makes changes ahead of time if you have any food related issues or vegetarian friendly requests. cost is a $25 CASH donation, and BYOB, but they provide some beer and wine for those who forget.

Review for the Chicago location, who has the same owner. The review is mostly about the owner and…read morelack of response from him once he received his payment The event location is beautiful, unfortunately working with management was less than ideal. Prior to the event, the owner was great and accommodating to my schedule and very understanding when it took me sometime to finalize the event date and contract. However, as soon as I paid the money for our event, the owner went MIA on me. We hosted our event 2 months ago, and I've still not received our refundable deposit back. I've texted, called, emailed, and reached out to them on all social media platforms with no resolution. After several weeks, I got one message stating that the owner was out of country, but would be refunding my deposit by the following Monday-that was 3 weeks ago. The venue is not worth all the hassle of chasing them down-there are plenty of other places in Chicago who are more professional and trustworthy.

This venue reminds me of the type of space my boyfriend mentions when he decides to plan his birthday at the last minute. Anyway the venue is located off Huff which is apparently a very busy road. It took a lot to find parking and to actually recognize the event parking that was located next-door. The business to the right of the venue does not offer parking to my knowledge. The venue honestly has enough space for maybe six cars. Granted the venue isn't that big but it's definitely bigger than six cars worth of people. The inside is very industrial. It has a loft vibe. There is a small bar and one bathroom. Depending on how busy the space can be it could be very inconvenient with only one restroom. Especially if the bar kitchen area is occupied and you need another sink. There is a lot of space upstairs which requires walking. I would not suggest putting anything upstairs if you have guests that have leg or knee issues. Older guests will definitely not enjoy having to walk up those stairs for any reason. Overall the space isn't bad. I can imagine one having a small birthday party or another type of shower there. Perhaps even a networking event or something that doesn't require more than 30 people to attend. If you're looking for a small event venue within the perimeter and close to Midtown and the highway I will suggest it. Just be mindful of the parking situation.

We hired Atlanta Special Events to help us do a casino night for our company summer party this…read moreyear. Our summer party was held inside Gate City Brewing Company's private event space - similar to a large garage - in Roswell, a suburb about 30 minutes north of Atlanta. Gate City's space wasn't terribly big, so we had to be strategic about how many gaming tables we would be able to fit inside their space. We also had to account for tables for the food caterer and tables for guests to sit/stand and eat/drink. We ended up going with three tables: 1. Blackjack 2. Craps 3. Roulette If I recall correctly, Atlanta Special Events had five employees on-hand. There was one person at the blackjack table (dealer), two at craps, and two at roulette. The second person at the roulette table was sort of like the pit boss. He controlled the play money and dispersed it to anyone who asked. When it came to giving away money, there really was no hard and fast rule. If you ran out of money or simply wanted more money, he'd give it to you. At the end of the night (our party was a three-hour affair), everyone cashed in. The folks from Atlanta Special Events counted everyone's cash. Each person received a ticket with their name on it and the total amount of cash they ended up with for the night. Our company gave away prizes to the top five money winners. I think each of us started out with $200-300 worth of play money and our ultimate winner, who I believe won by a landslide, ended up with tens of thousands of dollars. He did it by camping out at the roulette table. The event staff was dressed formally in white or black shirts with bow ties. I noticed a sixth person arrived towards the end of the night to help the crew pack up the tables and depart. The game tables and chips were good quality and there were even coasters for us to place our beverages on. Everyone looked like they were having a great time and I heard nothing but positive things about the games. Several people told me they had fun. If you're looking to do a casino night for your party, I recommend these guys. Atlanta Special Events also offers other games like murder mysteries, provides various forms of entertainment such as DJs and singers, and they even handle events like grand openings and weddings.
