First time here! A friend of ours got married here today and it was beautiful! I never knew this…read moreplace was here and I've traveled through Lawrenceville several times and never knew it was here. From what I'm told they host several parties, weddings, dinners, etc throughout the year. What caught my eye was the rustic door and iron trimmings . The white/grey brick walls are beautiful. Beautiful rustic chandeliers and candles throughout the venue. The sitting area is like a living room :) nice chairs, tables, lamps, pictures, etc.... There are several tables/chairs outside for guests. The parking lot holds about 80 cars. The reason it's called 550 Trackside is bc the train runs right next to it:). At the time of the wedding no trains were on the track. I'm not certain if they have caterers on site but the caterer that prepared the food was awesome! He prepared stuffed fish with shrimp/spinach/peppers/onions. Delicious!!! The yellow rice was perfectly seasoned and fluffy. The Mac & cheese was delicious - 3 cheeses! I didn't try the grilled chicken but I'm told it was good. I'm considering having my birthday party here:). If you're in the area or just looking for a nice reasonable venue check them out.

ZERO STARS!!! My younger sister had her wedding here 08/20/22 and literally the day of rehearsal,…read morewe were told by the owner that we would get the whole day to set up and rehearse but they had people coming in and out during our rehearsal, taking pictures of my sisters engagement pictures and the set up. It was truly unprofessional, rude, and annoying! The DAY OF the wedding, the worker/coordinator from the venue, this blonde lady, had another party come in and she asked one of the bridesmaids when we would be done doing our last minute set up bc the otparty wanted to rehearse like REALLY!?!?!?! Rude and unprofessional. The worker had the audacity to ask us not to put the petals on the side of the aisle because the other party didn't want it there. My sister paid for the venue to be used for a whole day and we did NOT Get THAT. My sister's now husband, also emailed the owner about the inconveniences and unprofessional behaviors of the staff at the venue and they never received a response. It has been exactly 1 week now. If you're thinking about renting this venue for your event, expect the owner and workers to be unprofessional and rude. It's all about the money they get for this place. Expect double bookings and other people coming in and out while you're trying to set up, rehearse, and expect others to come in THE DAY OF your wedding, asking when they can rehearse. This place in simple words, sucks.

Jan Webster is the best thing a bride could ask for in a caterer/event planner. Our ceremony and…read morereception venues were 3 miles apart. Very different styles. I had one coordinator for the ceremony and Jan coordinting the reception. Her knowledge, experience and variety of decorations made our wedding reception beautiful -- simple, rustic and classically elegant all at the same time. Additionally,she was able to see my vision of how to tie the two event together and make it come to life. We, and our guests raved about the good quality and quantity of food. Her staff was both personable and professional. Jan is one vendor that easily moves in and around guests delivering and picking up, but having a good time, almost as if she is a guest herself. She prepared a cute picnic basket to take home leftovers for the next day. Even better, we picked up our other decorations, misc items, etc two weeks after the wedding because we forgot to pick them up before the honeymoon... doh! Jan took care of so many details without me asking... above all, she was there to alleviate my concerns and answer all my questions. I recommend her to anyone...

Felt very safe here, the venue was easy to navigate, friendly bartenders and being able to dance outdoors for hours & hours into the wee hours of the morning was simply incredible! I would suggest getting an Uber/Lyft to the venue as parking seemed to be a little tight; saw a lot of fancy cars with tow truck "boots" on them at the end of the night! I would also suggest that there be more trash cans. There were so many plastic water bottles, glass beer bottles, beer cans and broken plastic cups all over the ground at 2am; walking through it all to get to the parking lot was definitely a hazard! Other than that, no complaints and I would happily come back for another show in the future if I had the opportunity. Thank you for a wonderful night, Georgia Freight Depot!

My wedding at Flint Hill had two different stories: The wedding day was fantastic, but the planning…read morewas a nightmare. I suspect the positive reviews reflect the former. I will share advice that I wish I had received before making a 50% deposit. My rating is based on the planning. The day of would get 4 stars. - We were glad we had an outside wedding planner to be our ally. If you've never planned an event like this, you might not realize that you can easily be taken advantage of. - They provide a lot of staff on the day of the event, but some of them were people we had never met. We had an eight-minute call with our "Day of Reception Director" the week before the wedding. She is a part-time (weekends) employee who doesn't even have a company email address. - We were dazzled by Melissa's sales pitch. She spent 2 hours with us when we came in for a tour and it was great. We thought she would be a great ally in this process. She was super friendly and helpful through the contract process until we paid 50%. - We needed to read every version of the updated invoice to catch price changes. The price of our dessert was $9 until one day it was $9.50. They charged us $150 for early arrival with a $150 credit to cancel it out. One day that credit had changed from $150 to $2. Laura from the design studio "accidentally" increased the price of some tablecloths by $5 each. - Their contracts sometimes expire after two days, and they said we needed to sign before getting answers to our questions. This happened with 2 contract addendums. We asked questions. Melissa said "Any specific detail changes to this contract will be handled in the extended planning sessions." - They marginalized me while behaving towards my husband. We had a recurrent problem where I would send an email, no response, husband reminds them, and they respond quickly. One time they ignored my email for five days. When he replied to my note, they responded to him within the hour. I don't know if it's because he's a man, he makes more money than I do, or they simply didn't like me. - If we didn't get it in writing, they often denied it. There are numerous topics that I am certain we discussed verbally but unfortunately I didn't have it in writing. With the issue mentioned above, they insisted we never discussed it, and they only agreed to do it because we found written confirmation. - We needed to spend at least $2,000 at their design studio, but we didn't have any trouble exceeding the minimum. We had very minimal design requirements, brought in an outside florist for the bouquets, and our initial quote was over $1,900, not counting the $700 tablecloth rental. - Menu changes come with an upcharge. You only get to put out one salad dressing. If you want your guests to have a choice, there is an $0.50 per person. Mashed potatoes come with no toppings. Want to add something as simple as sour cream or chives? One dollar per person for each topping. - We paid more than 80% of the adult rate for children aged 4-9. Children starting at age 10 are charged full price. The menu says "reduced rate" for children, but the aren't mentioned until much later in the process. They get a 20% discount on the base price for the buffet, but they are full price for drinks, dessert, and add-ons. I don't know if they would also be charged 100% for drink packages with alcohol. - We had to convince them to let us have a menu tasting. They offered us a "tasting box" with six items from another event's menu but only one or two from our menu. None of these options had our main dishes included. They said the point of a tasting box is to understand the quality of the food, not our specific menu. I want to thank Kristin, the CEO, for her help. Two months before our wedding, she allowed us to switch from the Atrium to Flint Hill (for a cost of $3,500) The change in venue couldn't fix corporate policies and staff difficulties though. I can honestly say that planning this wedding was one of the worst experiences of my life. Good luck, future brides and grooms.

They were not even at my wedding running the catering and the group they sent was rude, irresponsible, and late. I have celiac disease and have a strict Gluten free diet, the food was all mixed and no regard was given to the fact that I have a disease. I met with the owners to insure everything would be displayed the way I had planned and they assured me everything would be perfect. Getting invoices and updating plans was also a massive headache. It would take WEEKS for them to get back to me. I am sorry to say my only negative from my wedding was this catering company. BRIDES DO NOT USE.

From the…read moreearly stages of planning until the wedding day, Jane offered much more than just amazing food. Jane and her team have catered countless events and could speak to me and my mother about what to expect and how to plan. While she is an incredibly busy business owner, she was able to answer questions along the way and make recommendations based on what my husband and I had envisioned for our wedding day. At my event, her staff worked quickly and efficiently, but were relaxed and friendly. If I EVER need to have another event catered, I couldn't imagine calling on anyone else. Jane, thank you very sincerely for helping make my day perfect.

We had Indian food from Peri Peri Catering at five wedding events over two days. Everything was…read moreoutstanding. We were very impressed. If you're looking for Indian catering in the Atlanta area, I don't see how can it get much better than this. Peri Peri excelled not only at food quality and taste, but also at menu variety and service. Four of the events each had hundreds of guests and the staff did a great job keeping stations stocked, churning out delicious food, and generally staying on top of things. The events Peri Peri catered, that we attended, were the pellikoduku, sangeet/mendhi, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and wedding reception. Except for the pellikoduku, these were large-scale events at nice Atlanta venues (42West, The Starling). All of the food was vegetarian and served buffet-style. As meat-eaters, my wife and I enjoyed the food so much that we didn't miss eating meat. Also, I took a bunch of leftovers home from the pellikoduku, ate Peri Peri every night for the following week, and didn't get sick of it. Peri Peri's versatility showed in regions and types (e.g., street food, traditional, modern, and formal/upscale) of cuisine served. There was also Indian Chinese food and fusion food, like Indian Italian (pizza). Our favorite dish was the pav bhaji (sandwiches). A lot of the stations, such as the pav bhaji and dosa (crepe) stations, were staffed. The foods from the staffed stations were cooked and served hot and fresh. Some of the smaller items, like at cocktail hour, were presented beautifully. There were Indian dishes I'd never eaten before and also Indian food served in ways I'd never seen before. The desserts were yummy. Probably what was most impressive was the food was on par with some of the best Indian restaurants we've been to, but served in massive quantities. Peri Peri delivered both on quantity *and* quality.

I am from Orlando, Florida and had to place a last minute flower arrangement on behalf of my mom to celebrate her friend's 25th wedding anniversary in Dacula, GA this Saturday. I was a bit hesitant at first since Design House of Flowers seems to be limited on Orchids option, which is something that I noticed as I scrolled through their webpage but I am glad that I follow my gut feeling. Both my mom and I are extremely satisfied with the flowers and how it was presented. My friends was very happy with the gift as well so we got nothing but praises. On a side know, I am grateful how proactive and professional the staffs were. I placed the order Late Wednesday night and the flowers freshly delivered by Friday. Moreover, apparently the shop ran out of Ginger but before making any adjustments, they were kind enough to call me personally to ask for permission to make some minor changes. Luckily, they were able to stick to the tropical theme and was able to include some orchids as the highlight (orchids are my mom's favorite flowers and they are a good fit during Vietnamese's Lunar New Year that is coming up on January 25th). Overall, I had a good experience ordering from Design House of Flowers and would most definitely order again for future occasions and 100% would recommend to others.
