Patti catered my friends housewarming party with over 40 guests. She did a great job recommending…read morethe right menu and how much food would be needed. My friends really appreciated her attentiveness to detail, including how the food was to be presented, when to serve the main courses, when / how to serve additional courses, and when it was time to start wrapping things up. The fried Alligator tail was to die for. Patti's background in preparing authentic Cajun / Creole recipes is extensive. I did not think I liked alligator tail; however, implementing fried alligator tail it in a filo dough pastry along with crawfish and shrimp was both magnificent and impressive. My friend Dennis is from Louisiana and he did not think it would be possible to replicate the kind of feast that he had in mind (the likes of which he has not had since he has visited his hometown) . I would hire her in a heartbeat for my next catered event. Patti has worked as a chef in some of Atlanta's best restaurants, and that experience really shows in her catered dishes.

This is an interesting Indian restaurant because I believe that some of its dishes are influenced…read moreby African cuisine. Lots of legumes, lentils, and beans used in some of the dishes. A highlight of Cloves? Their soup. Forgot the name, but if you see a tomato-ey soup, do try it! It does have some lentils/beans in it, but it is simply delicious. I could go there just to drink a gallon of that stuff. Really nice for a fall day (my favorite season of which is coming up!). Their food is not spectacular, but its solid. Standard Indian fare. Good service though - the front lady is really nice, and she'll make you feel welcome if you come here more than once. She'll remember you. The location is kinda wonky and obscure, so don't give up if you can't find it. It's hidden behind a shopping plaza-ish. But what they sacrifice for location they get for a really nice atmosphere. Big windows open up to the deciduous wilderness behind the shop.

Very professional. Food and flowers were magnificent. It was a magical night. Thank you Carl House.read more

They also had printouts of our party setup and helped us plan all of that. The coordinators are great to work with and went above and beyond to help us make our day special!! The guests and I only had rave reviews for the venue and how beautiful it is there - from the grounds, landscaping and lake - to what a great set-up they have. We had an outside wedding with 85-100 people and even though the bldg was cozy there was plenty of room inside for food, prep, dining, and it is very well maintained and beautiful. I'm really happy we chose Little Lake Events for our venue as it couldn't have been more perfect!!!

I was able to plan my entire wedding reception from across the country thanks to these wonderful women. The venue speaks for itself and is beautiful and rustic, yet refined. The coordinators have done a wonderful job to add the perfect accent pieces and have made wonderful use of the space and setting. A unique outdoor/indoor venue with fantastic advisors and coordinators for a great value. I can't speak highly enough.

The menu is simple, prices are decent, and portions are standard. The food is classic Southern comfort brunch--nothing fancy, but enjoyable. Keep in mind they close early and fill up quickly. It's more like. 4.5 star for me.

Their food truck comes by Midtown for Food Truck Thursdays (outside Midtown MARTA station on…read morePeachtree Pl. around noon) every so often so I had to check it out. I got there kind of late (around 1pm) so most things were sold out. I ended up getting the Oxtail Plate. They were running low on oxtail too so they were kind enough to add some BBQ chicken! The oxtail was very tender and well seasoned. The BBQ chicken they also included was nice and juicy, as well as very flavorful. I don't think I've had much rice and peas before but it was a very tasty base for the meal - it'll fill you up! The mac n' cheese they give on the side was also seasoned pretty well. They also give you some fried plantains which is one of my favorite sides. Honestly - everything was just very flavorful, take my word for it. For $20 they give you a good amount of food - I was pretty full by the end (and I can eat a lot). The two ladies working the truck were also super sweet and gracious. They were a bit busy because there were quite a few people ordering and it was just the two of them, so just make sure you clear up some time because they make it fresh and it's popular! Next time, I'm gonna try their Jollof Rice Plate!

I don't even know where to begin! As I started researching and visiting venues I found myself…read morestarting to feel overwhelmed with options, requirements/rules, pricing, and what seemed like an ever increasing budget. Honestly, I had never heard of Vecoma, but kept running across it on sites. At the time their website wasn't as developed as now so I wasn't quite sure. I had narrowed down and visited 5 other venues, had huge packets of info that made my head spin, and just felt like maybe I should elope when I sent an inquiry to Vecoma. Caroline instantly responded with a general quote (WOW!! maybe I COULD do this) and invited me for a visit. They have open houses on Saturday mornings, and I highly recommend that you go because if you have visited any other venue you will instantly see the differences. There is no pressure, you aren't locked into a time frame, you are free to walk the grounds, look at previous wedding books, talk to staff, all so low key and no stress! You can price out items, look at menus, and simply be relaxed. Not only is the venue stunning and has multiple options in terms of ceremony and reception, what truly make the venue is the staff. On my Saturday tour, it was the staff that helped me solidify my choice in less than 30 minutes, something I had agonized over for months! In terms of pricing - you can make any budget work here! It is clear cut, nothing hidden, easily explained, you know up front what you are dealing with and if you want to add or change things they are completely fluid. They have payment plans that are easy, manageable, and take a huge stress away! They have incredible menu choices with customization and multiple bar options, all with the best pricing and I guarantee you will not find better full bar pricing anywhere in Atlanta! I purchased a full bar and they even included 2 complimentary passed hors d'ourves. The other thing you will find is that they do not nickel and dime you to death, there is no charge for turning on the twinkle lights, you can use their mirrors, votives, fishbowls, wood centerpieces and anything else that is considered a "house item" FREE of charge. They give you the freedom to express yourself in decorations, you can use your own vendors, friends for setup, and you get to bring your own cakes with NO cutting fee! I had 4 cakes and 5 pies, 9 total and NO EXTRA CHARGE. They even provided the cutting utensils and sliced and served! It is the little things here, the level of personal service, the relaxed atmosphere, the freedom to be yourself that make it truly stand apart. The other thing is you don't have just ONE person who helps you. There is literally an army! Caroline is simply Wonderwoman and from managing the venue to being the best photographer and is so down to earth, she will make all worries disappear! Caitlin, Judith, Cathy, all answered tons of questions, quickly responded to emails, and made being a bride EASY. On the day of we didn't realize ALL of the staff come together to help you set up, put out decorations, find a bandaid, help with wardrobe malfunctions, I was amazed! The food was simply incredible! We didn't make it to a tasting, but I trusted reviews and it was impeccable, best chefs, and people are still commenting on it, including the most picky eaters. I had everything from true southerners who must have their pork and potatoes, to friends that were vegan and halaal and all were happy. DJ/photography - they have both in-house if you choose and the prices can't be beat! Caroline's pics you can see online and DJ Kirk makes it a breeze and you can pick all of your own songs or he will help if needed. All included in your invoicing! Because we had saved so much money we even opted to do videography through DJ Kirk as well. Other things - We worried about the fickle November weather, the staff were reassuring that we could change as needed. We were able to do on the deck and had heaters in case, then inside for the reception. The bridal party was running late, not a problem, Caroline started pictures with the boys to give the girls time to catch up! They make sure you eat and have your food already waiting for you while you tend to all the people and excitement. They don't rush you out at the end, we had time to say goodbye, pack up, etc. Check them out, you will be amazed, it will be perfect, your guests will be in awe, and your wallet will thank you!

The service was exceptional and we had such a blast with our family and friends. It was such a special and magical day I'll never forget. Everything from the ceremony , to the reception and our send off was amazing. My husband and I want to give a big shout out to the Vecoma Staff, Caroline Tucker and Megan for capturing our special day. They are the best photographer and Videographer Team. We loved working with them both on our special day. We can't thank you enough. I highly recommend Vecoma at the yellow river if you are engaged and looking for a venue.
