It gives a feel of elegance with the down home charm that will make you feel both welcomed and comfortable in the space. They have several rooms with which to segment your celebration so that everyone is not cramped but still accessible and in plain sight. Great for weddings in the fall or just about anything else. 10/10 for the win!!!

A lot of things look like they needed an upgrade and appeared to be lacking on maintenance. They try to get you out of there fast while everyone was still enjoying the wedding. I get that they want everybody out by a certain time but if you are renting the space out till a time don't start packing up chairs and tables till that time. On top of that no liquor is allowed on the premises, can't have the music to loud/with expletives, and a whole lot of other rules. You are suppose to be the reception space where people celebrate and enjoy each other's company. I personally will never recommend these guys to anyone wanting an outdoor space or just wanting to enjoy weddings or other events that they may host.

The ceremony was only 30 minutes long (not too short but not too long either) on the edge of a beautiful lake with a mountain in the background 4 piece live band during ceremony Seating was comfortable (church pew style) It was sunny with a cool breeze Huge pavilion with roomy seating so we weren't all cramped together (about 100 people total) large round tables in pavilion with plenty of seating space and walking space between tables (my rollator walker fit through tables without issue. Music at reception was great - DJ actually came around and let guests scan a QR code so they could request songs. But honestly he was playing a really good selections on his own. Serving staff was excellent, professional and attentive. When you finished with a plate or anything they kept used stuff promptly removed from the table While we waited for wedding party to take pictures and stuff - Hors e' derves were served and were hot and delicious -huge Sauted Shrimp on a skewer -decent sized serving of Shrimp and grits (which I have never even wanted to try because it sounded gross to me- but it was huge shrimp in savory grits that tasted great) Egg rolls - with a really good dipping sauce Open bar with a great selection of beer and wine The sweet tea was even good Food was a buffet style and ALL of it was great. Meat (choice of steak and/or chicken) was tender and everything was seasoned right and not over cooked at all Variety of several vegetable choices (green beans, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, and a mixed greens salad A delicious pasta with huge shrimp They had a golf cart (being driven by the owner) that picked me up at the car and took me to ceremony Took me back to pavilion for reception And Took me to car afterwards when we got ready to leave Bathrooms were clean Pavilion had a rustic theme It and the ends of the pews were decorated with fairy lights, candles and her flowers - so beautiful and tastefully done. Just enough but not over the top. All fresh flowers.

The food was also incredibly good and the bar even took the steps to serve modified Old Fashioneds (no simple syrup). However, their customer service ahead of and at the end of the wedding (and even how they treat their staff) was well below expectations. And as you will see in their response below, they continue to argue with customers (and in this case their guests after the fact). It's quite surprising to see a vendor argue with someone in a public place. A bit about my background, I led a $2B business selling to a major retailer - and in my career, I never argued back with that customer because it seemed dumb to argue with folks keeping us in business. So, the response below (and now in a picture) is shocking to see on a $30k+ per transaction business. It also seems to imply that 'pushy attitude' is written in their contract and they will not flex from what's in the contract. Example, the venue had no booking during the day and so opening early, seemed possible [maybe they bill for 1-2 people to be there from the venue itself?]. Their actions and sometimes lack of - led to a higher than expected stress level for the bride and family. All of these things seem easy to remedy on their part. However, if you decide to get married here - it seems critical to have everything you expect of them spelled out in the contract (down to requiring the demeanor of the management to be polite, consistent, and responsive). As I understand it, many commitments were made by the venue ahead of the big day - only to be told over email at 1 AM, two nights before, were not included. This is after leading up to the event never being able to have a consistent contact person - perhaps, requiring the event sales rep to give their cell # to customers is a good idea? One example, was saying last minute they would not provide vases for the flowers on tables. In a last stitch effort, vases were rented from the florist. Day of, the venue was insistent that those coming to decorate could not be in Ivy Hall any sooner than 4pm for a 6pm start. At the end of the night, the staff quickly broke down the tables and expected those of us packing up the gifts, vases, flowers, signs, etc to be extremely quick. Amidst that chaos, there were candles and plastic domes around them sitting next to other things that were the wedding party's. We started packing the white candles and the manager came over and said "Those aren't yours! And great, you messed them up!" She then proceeded to chastise the bar tender for not paying attention to us stealing things. Why would we want 10-20 used candles? And, my girlfriend overheard them loudly say 'we're trying to get them out of the bridal suite' - when they were packing up the bride's things. As an aside, it takes me back a little to have the management call the bride's family "vendors" in her response (see picture) as we were the ones setting up and taking down decorations. Great venue, good food, bad service. A well spelled out contract defining your (not just theirs as the management states in their comment) expectations is a must-have if you do a wedding or other event at Ivy Hall. You only get one wedding, venues do many of them - might consider elsewhere if you are seeking guidance from the venue's experts throughout this once in a lifetime event for you.

Our company recently held its 40th anniversary party inside the Imperial Ballroom and adjacent…read morepre-function space inside Atlanta's historic Biltmore Hotel in Midtown. The ballroom was beautiful and elegant, and we had a great time. The Imperial Ballroom used to be the hotel's dining room in the 1920s (the hotel opened in 1924). It "features ornate blue and ivory hand-plastered ceilings, 10 columns, and a unique recessed wood floor." It looks really nice. I forget our event's guest count, but I think it was upwards of 150, 170. There was live music, both in the pre-function space during cocktail hour and on stage in the ballroom during dinner and dancing. There was also a two-sided bar. We had a seated dinner with the following: * First Course: Caesar Salad with garlic focaccia croutons, shaved Parmesan, and Caesar dressing * Main Course: Filet of Beef over herbed risotto with a peppercorn jus and Chicken Pancetta over sauteed greens with a lemon beurre blanc We also had cake. All of the food and drink were good. To drink, I had a couple of extra-dirty martinis (delicious) and also a bit of wine, with dinner. Service was fine. The bartender who made my martinis did an excellent job. The Biltmore Ballrooms is called "Ballrooms" (plural) because there are two ballrooms: the Imperial Ballroom and the Georgian Ballroom. The Ballrooms are conveniently located to many places in Midtown. We ended up walking one block north to the Renaissance Atlanta Midtown Hotel for after-party drinks. The Renaissance was the "official" hotel for our group. For parking, there's a garage on-site (next to Cypress Street Pint & Plate). We Ubered.

My partner and I were looking for a charming, historic venue…read more From the photos and description on line and the recommendations from friends, we thought we'd made a good choice. But once we started working with Leigh Vaughan from Saratoga Events, we KNEW we'd made the right choice. She couldn't have been more welcoming, enthusiastic or helpful, which made all the difference for us as a gay couple and since we were planning our wedding from out of town. The House, with its adjoining deck and enclosed historic Pavilion, were perfect for having the ceremony and reception in one location, and the convenience of working with Saratoga Events and Avenue Catering made planning a snap. Leigh had ready recommendations for any other vendors we might need, checklists to help with our planning, and obviously a wealth of experience in putting together flawless events. The food was delicious, with lots of options to choose from, including formal sit down or buffet and cocktail style. We had so many compliments on the charming, intimate atmosphere and pleasant service. Since I work in the preservation field, having the historic house for our guests to enjoy before and after the ceremony made it particularly special. I would highly recommend the Pace House for anyone planning a small to mid-sized wedding in the Atlanta area!
