We attended a wedding event at 42West in West Midtown and had a great time. From a guest perspective, I thought this was a solid and versatile venue. Easy to get to and from, and parking wasn't bad.
This is a relatively new event space on Huff Road, situated between Souper Jenny Westside and Apex West Midtown (Agavero, Twisted Soul). It opened in/around June 2021: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQw-bPWpU6_/ It shares a building with other businesses including Anadol Rug, which has been around since 1984. The 42West event space is hidden. It occupies more than half of the building in the back.
We mostly spent time in the indoor event space (5,800 square feet) and string-lit upper patio just outside (900 square feet). The event was an Indian sangeet and mehndi. It was a lot like an American wedding reception. There was a catered buffet dinner, performances, and dancing. Hundreds of guests attended. I thought 42West was well-suited for the amount of people, the numerous food stations, and bar (or two, I can't remember).
Caterers and other vendors parked their trucks and vehicles in the small parking lot in front of the building. Guests parked across the street at 1075 Huff Road.

42West is named after co-owner Kevin Willis' jersey number 42 and the westside of Atlanta. As a longtime San Antonio Spurs and Atlanta Hawks fan, I thought this was an interesting fact. Co-owner and event planner Lauren Pelissier brought the vision of 42West to life and runs the show. read more
