The Community Arts Center is tucked away down a local street, and I was concerned that I was lost--thankfully not the case. I had a great visit. The building feels like a living, breathing tribute to art. There are multiple floors for hosting classes and events. There is a kiln for firing pottery on site. Even the grounds are beautiful, with lots of art and sculptures resting around the walkways outside. The Tea Bowl Exhibition was very well done. I bought a ticket for a Japanese tea demonstration, which was really interesting and enjoyable. I thought I'd be at the Arts Center for an hour, but I stayed much longer to check everything out. If I lived closer, I'd definitely look into taking classes here. For now, I look forward to my next visit for an event or exhibition.

I wanted to try something new out of the ordinary and found the right class in this place, ZENTANGLE. Marie (instructor) guides each student into different levels of awareness, meditating thru lines, figures and shades becoming a complete drawing. She begins with breathing exercises and leads you as soothing music is played in the background. The class is a couple of hours and trust you'll leave there relaxed and proud of yourself. You don't need to know how to draw or have any particular talent to getaway in your own piece of art. I give it 5stars because of Marie's unique techniques, close parking, picturesque campus, clean bathrooms, and ZENTANGLE's ballroom classroom in the 2nd floor is quite elegant, each corner says a story. Must experience.

I first came across Room 244 during their 2nd First Friday event, and since then I've seen their walls filled with Japanese influenced art, surreal art with farm animal motifs, a craft bazaar, Eclectic sculpture art from Hannah Dancing, and more. The two sisters who own it do a good job of collaborating with diverse artists and showcasing a number of events that don't just happen on the first Friday of the month. But when they're not hosting their own events, Room 244 is a space that caters to events of all types. Sometimes there might be a game night, and on others the Boss Group might host a UX Designer Networking Event. But if you're looking to host a group meeting, throw a surprise party, throw an art show with some musicians, or other; all you need to do is shoot them a message on their website, and you might just be able to throw it together!

The tables and seating fit our group of 20 pretty comfortably. There was plenty of space for everyone to move around while we had big tables set up for food. The outdoor space was picturesque but it was raining so we didn't get to use it much, but we were able to put together a nice photo spot right at the front. Laura was easy to communicate with and very responsive whenever I texted her. She was super flexible with my schedule and made it easy to see the place, plan the layout for the party, and let us come extra early for setting up. She even helped us put up a big banner with my mom's picture on it! My mom and all the guests had a great time, and the art was a conversation starter. Thanks again!

Though we were nervous…read moreat first about there being one exclusive caterer and an assigned day-of coordinator, everything turned out wonderfully. From the planning documents to the tasting, the experience leading up to the wedding was intentional and made us feel so special. It is obvious how much attention and care the Peachtree team puts into their service of each individual guest. We can't say enough good things about the staff. We got so lucky to have the team we did, who told us repeatedly that we had amazing guests and the vibes were high. Namely, George, Karen, and Steph made our big day possible. George sought out our vegan guests and made sure they got enough of their appetizers and desserts. Neither of us were without a drink or anything else we needed because of Karen's care and attention. Steph executed all of our dreams wonderfully and accepted our feedback with grace when things needed tweaking. At the end of the night, our hotel shuttle forgot about us, so my wife and I also were able to chat more with the staff, and they genuinely all seemed so happy to be with us. This was absolutely a highlight of our day! Food was my wife's number one most important line item when it came to our wedding, especially having been served less than ideal meals as vendors and seeing the same things over and over. Multiple reviews of Peachtree told us what we needed to know, and we were confident about the menu options. During the tasting, we were a little thrown off because there weren't many items that we loved, but our coordinator reminded us that they're choosing things to present that you wouldn't have necessarily chosen on your own. Our wedding day food was truly unreal, hands down the best wedding food I've had. All our guests were RAVING about it too!

Wedding at Pomme - April 12, 2025 While our wedding day…read moreturned out beautiful in many ways, the journey getting there was unnecessarily stressful and left us with more regrets than we ever anticipated. For future couples considering Pomme: proceed with caution and a clear understanding of what you're walking into. Let's start with the good: * The venue itself is gorgeous. We had to move our ceremony indoors at the last-minute due to weather, which I was heartbroken about, but I'll admit that the space still looked stunning. It's flexible and modern, giving couples a great canvas to make their own, which was a huge reason we chose Pomme. * The food and drinks were outstanding. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour, especially the cheesesteak station. And the Pineapple Margarita (our signature drink) was a crowd favorite. * Service during the event was, for the most part, excellent. Guests told us it was some of the best they've experienced, especially how dinner was served in unison. * Special shoutout to the lovely woman who took care of my husband and me in the bridal suite and during dinner. I regret not remembering her name, because she was truly a highlight. She made sure we were fed, hydrated, and relaxed in the middle of the madness. Now...the bad: Our experience leading up to the day -- and even parts of the day itself -- left us hurt, frustrated, and frankly, angry. * I showed up to the rehearsal with my parents, grandparents, and wedding party excited to walk through what was supposed to be the first look at our ceremony setup. Instead, we walked into a construction site. Tarps, ladders, open buckets of white paint, and men actively painting -- at the literal spot where I was to say my vows in less than 24 hours. No warning. No apology. Just a smile and a comment from our coordinator Steph about how "lucky" we were to be the first wedding of the season with a "fresh coat of paint." That was not reassurance -- that was a spin. And it was insulting. * Steph, our coordinator, was not the right fit. Our personalities didn't mesh from the beginning, but more importantly, I never felt prioritized or truly cared for. I didn't feel like a bride. I felt like a line item. Looking back, I wish I'd asked for someone else early on. * Be prepared to spend thousands more than your initial quote. Nearly everything costs extra, and I don't mean small add-ons. - $200 for a case of Miller Lite (yes, really). $55 for a bottle of Prosecco. And no, you can't bring your own drinks in the bridal suite. - $1,400 for string lights (they put them up and take them down between every wedding just to ensure they can keep charging for them). - $200/hour extra for time in the bridal suite, because the included five hours are never enough when doing a first look. - Signature drinks, bridal suite food, even basic setup -- all à la carte and wildly overpriced. No one even bothered to tell me in the beginning that a big majority of gluten-free options (I have celiac disease) would cost extra. A huge reason why we chose Pomme in the first place. * We were told the staff wouldn't help us set up the day-of, so we planned accordingly. But they did it anyway, which was a pleasant surprise! It looked beautiful, and we were grateful. But then... Steph left. At 9:30pm. The only person who knew all our plans and logistics was suddenly gone without prior warning. By 11pm, it felt like pure chaos. Décor was being boxed up randomly, no one knew what belonged where or what was being donated, and I was being pulled in a million directions. Instead of heading to our after-party, I was left running damage control. I didn't even make it to the after-party because I was so drained. That last hour felt like the rug was pulled out from under us. In summary: Yes, the space is beautiful. Yes, the food is memorable. But beauty and bites only go so far when the process is riddled with stress, miscommunication, hidden fees, and a lack of care. We spent a lot of money -- and what should have been the most joyful day of our lives still carries a sting. I wish I had known all of this beforehand. After talking to other recent brides, it seems like I was the only one dealing with these unnecessary issues. If you're considering Pomme, ask every question, get everything in writing, and advocate hard for yourself. Because I didn't -- and I regret it.

They just did an overhaul of the hall, nice hardwood floors, the kitchen has all new appliances & the bathrooms were updated.

You get the hall from 10am til 1am, which is convenient for setting up, cooking, cleaning up, etc. The price isn't bad for a hall rental either, I booked the hall at the last minute & to my surprise it was available, which again was Great! Highly recommend to anyone having a small party of 100. The only drawback are the steps, there's about 20 of them leading up to the door, but there's always the elevator!

I was at Evivva on Saturday afternoon with my family for a Bar Mitzvah. I couldn't believe how small the parking lot was, so just be grateful that they do offer Valet Parking. We were one of the lucky ones to get a spot. I do have to say that Evivva is very elegant and the appetizers were tasty - Chicken Satay, Mini Hot Dogs & Crab Cakes, Shrimp Tempura & Broschetta. There was only 1 Bartender to accommodate about 125 guests but then again only Soda and White Wine were served. The main course was disappointing. You start out with some lettuce and a tomato w/ a very bad Vinegarette Dressing. They throw on a couple of Cranberry's I guess to offset the vinegar taste. The choices were Talapia, Chicken Marsala & Filet Mignon all served with Risotto and Fresh Vegetables. I chose the Chicken and my husband, the Filet Mignon. I couldn't eat mine. The sauce had a very bad peppery taste to it and I did sample to Filet Mignon. Also a peppery taste. If you happen to eat there, definitely ask for the sauce on the side otherwise my guess is that you will be returning your dish like we did. I didn't care for the dessert at all. It was this checkered cake w/ mocha and chocolate on the outside. Don't even attempt to ask for more coffee/tea because you'll never get it, even after asking for it 2 times. The dance floor was so small, it was like they just removed 2 or 3 tables to make some room. I couldn't believe it. If you've ever been to a Jewish affair, you know you need a lot of room for the dances!! The regular dinner menu may be different if they even offer dinner (it may just be an affair type restaurant), but if you are going to attend an affair at Evivva, definitely eat beforehand or just hide a snack in your bag.
