How often do you flip through the pages of magazines, scroll through Instagram or surf blogs and ask yourself "how did they think of that?" We experience that feeling every day! When it comes time to plan a celebration of any magnitude – birthday party, baby shower, quiñce or mitzvah – the most sure-fire way to impress guests is to think of the things they didn't. Tricky task, no? The devil is in the details afterall. That's where the experts comes in. The party industry is full of so much incredible talent just waiting to be tapped. When you hire the best professionals in the business, your event is sure to knock the socks off anyone who enters the door.

Event designers are vital in transforming the look of your venue. Ever imagine a major league baseball field inside the event room at a whiskey distillery? Well, the guest of honor and David from Track Seven Events did! Be sure to check out what's sure to be the coolest bar mitzvah we've seen this issue (page 110)!

t

Who could forget about our cover? When we saw this party on Instagram, we knew we needed to get our hands on the entire photo gallery and story on the details. Mason's 4th Birthday, designed by his mom Ceci Johnson, creative director of famed stationery powerhouse Ceci New York, is an instant classic. The pictured custom confection, desgined and created by Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes turned Ceci's incredible watercolor artwork into a tangible treat enjoyed by all! After creating this issue of Parties, we're definitely ready for a slice of cake to call our own! Who's with us?

Besides the obvious question "are you available on the day of our party?" there are a few key questions that can ease the interview process of selecting your party vendors. Here's the thing: these people are the pros and while they work on parties daily and may find themselves repeating these key answers over and over, it's helpful for a hostess like you to feel armed with just the knowledge you need to speak intelligently with your vendors.

venue guide A Vetted Resource of the Most Reputable Special Event Locations Across the Southeast Our Venue Guide is all about finding the right location for your event. After all, it all starts with your venue. There are appropriate facilities for parties of all sizes, but when you’re choosing the perfect spot for your next event, all of those options can be overwhelming. The size of the crowd will narrow down your choices, but then there are still numerous types of venues to consider.

Whatever your particular tastes, when the time comes to choose your event location, make sure you know what to look for in a venue before you book.


SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION

EVENT VENUE REVIEW So, exactly what type of occasion do you envision for your upcoming occasion? Knowing this will ease your venue search because the setting affects the overall style tremendously. Not to mention the budget! In the southeast, the options are limitless. From country clubs to hotels, city clubs, oceanfront resorts, farms, barns, antebellum homes, private mansions and everything in between... you've got options. So, we've scoured the top cities to bring you the very best venues to select from.

QUESTIONS TO ASK A POTENTIAL VENUE . . . HOW MANY HOURS DOES MY RENTAL FEE INCLUDE? ARE THERE OVERTIME CHARGES? Some venues charge by the hour for use of their facility. Knowing exactly how many hours are included, and allotting plenty of time for set up and tear down is important.

HOW DO YOU CHARGE? PER PERSON, BY THE HOUR OR FL AT FEE? Always good to know how your venue charges for rental. It's likely that facilities who include catering will charge a per person rate and venues without catering will charge a flat fee or hourly rental.

CAN I BRING IN MY OWN VENDORS OR DO I HAVE TO USE A PREFERRED VENDOR LIST SUPPLIED BY THE VENUE? Many venues will supply you with a list of their preferred event vendors to use. This can be helpful to the hostess who needs direction and referrals but also a hinderance for a hostess who knows exactly which vendors they'd like to use. Clarify with your venue whether it's required or not to use their specified vendors before you book.

CAN I BRING IN MY OWN ALCOHOL? Venues that don't carry their own liquor license often allow a hostess to bring in their own alcohol. This is not typically the norm, but there are a few venues out there with this option. Remember, if you do opt to bring in your own alcohol, you'll want to hire a bar service to tend to guests.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL THE SPACE HOLD (NOT JUST OFFICIAL CAPACIT Y) ACCORDING TO MY ROOM SET UP? Your room set up will greatly affect the amount of guests you can have at your event. Official capacities are for the fire marshal. You'll want to focus on how many guests you can fit into the room with a seated dinner, estate table, dance floor or buffet set up.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE VENUE RENTAL? Most venues have house items that are included in the cost of their facility rental like dance floors, tables, chairs, standard linens, etc. But, there are several venues that don't offer this and could amount to an additional cost to you. Ask before you book.

WHAT IS THE PARKING SITUATION? Valet parking, limited options, street parking or ample complimentary parking for guests are all important things to consider.

WILL THERE BE OTHER EVENTS HAPPENING ON THE SAME DAY? Depending on the size of the venue, it will be nice to know whether your event will be the only event happening on property or if there will be others. Other events may infringe on your time use of the venue or confusion for guests so best to know ahead of time and be prepared.

IF NOT, IS THERE AN ALCOHOL MINIMUM? Often venues with liquor licenses will have a bar minimum in addition to the cost of their venue rental. Best to have a heads up about this before you book for budgeting.

Get the goods on the venues you've narrowed down as your top picks on our website. You'll find more pictures, more information, more ways to have the party of your dreams.

ABOUT THE VENUE Vecoma is Atlanta’s most secluded, charming and distinctive special events venue. Guests enjoy PRIVATE use of the lovely romantic lodge hidden in a 70 acre forest oasis. Included on the RIVERSIDE property is a huge back lawn perfect for large gatherings, ceremonies or games. Vecoma is a family owned business which specializes in the personal touch. In 1927, Venie and Cotton Mather completed a 6-sided cabin made entirely of stone and wood taken from the property. The lodge was named Vecoma, combining the first two letters of each of their names. The foundation and chimney of this family relic still remain next to the new reception hall built in 1996. The large deck on the back of the hall overlooks the woods, lawn and river. It is rich in history and natural beauty. Today, the family of Venie and Cotton Mather invite you to enjoy Vecoma as you celebrate your own historic and special event. SPECIAL FEATURES:
