Where Can I Host a Small Event in Atlanta, Georgia?

In Google searches or in Facebook groups like Atlanta Social Club, there is a consistent rise in individuals looking for small venue spaces in the Atlanta area for events of 50 guests or less. Small weddings, engagement parties, holiday dinners, corporate meetings, you name it!

While the most obvious choice would appear to be hosting at a restaurant, there is also the need for a more blank-slate option that has great ambiance but doesn't require a high food & beverage minimum. In fact, these are the types of locations that we also love to partner with when providing event rentals and decor for clients who want to create a welcoming atmosphere for their guests.

So, consider this a live document that will be consistently updated as we discover small event spaces with great ambiance in the metro Atlanta area.
