    Wedding at Summerour. August 24, 2019.
    Daniel B.

    Summerour Studio is an event space tucked behind Atlantic Station, between Midtown, Buckhead, and Westside. It's operated by Novare Events who operates six venues in Atlanta. I've had several friends get married here. It's a popular, versatile, and relatively affordable venue for weddings. My fiancee and I, who are in the throes of wedding planning ourselves, considered Summerour for our wedding. Summerour reminds me of one of Novare's other properties, the Foundry at Puritan Mill (https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-foundry-at-puritan-mill-atlanta-2), over on the west side. Both venues are refurbished warehouses/industrial buildings that originated in the 1920s. Summerour originally belonged to a printing company. It was updated and named after its architect in 2005. Both Summerour and the Foundry at Puritan Mill are primarily indoor venues with large, flexible event spaces. Exposed ductwork, beams and trusses, large curtains to separate spaces; you know, that rustic modern kind of look. Where Summerour differs from the Foundry at Puritan Mill is it has lower ceilings (the Foundry has vaulted ceilings) and no support columns, so the interior space is completely unobstructed. Summerour also has a cute little outdoor courtyard entrance/area and an upstairs space with city views. The courtyard can be used for smaller outdoor ceremonies. At Summerour, parking for guests is valet only (complimentary + tip). At a recent wedding we attended, Summerour was the site for both the wedding ceremony and reception. Both the ceremony and reception were beautifully decorated with florals from Stylish Stems. Cocktail hour took place both outside in the courtyard and upstairs where there are two rooms, one of which has skyline views of Atlanta to the south. The courtyard is small, but picturesque with string lights, brick arches, and a whole lot of greenery. The upstairs area was minimally decorated and featured the cocktail hour bar staffed by Novare bartenders. As for the food, it was catered by Summerour's exclusive caterer, Bold Catering & Design (https://www.yelp.com/biz/bold-catering-and-design-atlanta-2). You can't choose a different caterer here; it must be Bold. Bold was one of two caterers we seriously considered for our wedding. They're associated with Fifth Group Restaurants (Ecco, Lure, South City Kitchen, etc.). I won't go into detail on the food here because this review is for the venue, but we thought the food was delicious. My favorites were the thin-cut kale salad (fresh and flavorful) and the three-cheese creamy mac 'n cheese (so good). I should note there were some food supply issues -- we hardly saw any hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour (I suspect this might have to do with servers not being able to make it from the second floor to outside before their serving trays were cleaned by other guests, but even when we were upstairs, apps were few and far between) and we never saw any peach and mozzarella salad at the buffet line. A Novare employee directed us back into the main room for the reception. The reception space was both gorgeous and functional with a wedding cake/dessert corner, bar, photo area, photo booth, dining space, standing space, DJ booth, and dance floor. Lighting and sound were great and everything seemed to go off without a hitch. We had a wonderful time. The send-off was one of my favorite parts. The guest count was roughly 140 though some had left before the send-off. We gathered in the courtyard and blew bubbles for the bride and groom. The string lights and additional lighting made this area at night look magical. I wish I had snapped a few photos or took some video, but my hands were full blowing bubbles. It looked awesome and is one of the more memorable send-offs I've been a part of (and I've been to a lot of weddings). Summerour impressed me and, as a member of my company's party planning committee, I will definitely throw their name in the hat for consideration for a future holiday party. We've already done one at the Foundry at Puritan Mill so why not Summerour?

    I had all my eggs in one basket when I went to go visit Summerour. After hours and hours searching online, I was sure that Summerour was my wedding venue. My mistake was that I went to go visit the day after my friend's wedding and unintentionally I was comparing this and that. What I didn't like about Summerour was the foliage, groom/bridal suite, creaking floors, staircase, and just how big it was inside. The reception area is really meant to accommodate 200+. Otherwise, it would look empty and I'm only planning a wedding for 120 max. You can put up a curtain division to either do both ceremony and reception indoors or to reduce the reception area. Curtain divider would come in handy for plan B on a rainy day, but otherwise, it sort of just defeats the purpose. If I was to have our wedding here, we would have had it outside and when we saw the lack of greenery outside, it was disappointing; especially it being close to May, the month that I was hoping to get married next year. Inside, the floors creaked and the building felt hallow, the groom/bridal suite was basically a 4x6, and whether it's replica of the michelangelo staircase or not, the color makes it such an eyesore. With all these aside, I still wanted to believe that this could be the venue and sent a request to Monica as a follow up with couple questions and a list of preferred vendors. After 3 or 4 days have passed and I got no reply, so I made another request. And... nothing... it's been over 10 days. My emails can't be going into her spam mail as we had an email thread going back and forth. And I know that she is checking her email, because she just responded to my finance's request... shocker. Despite all my doubts, I feel that I didn't overly show my disappointment and had asked for preferred vendors during my visit. I truely have no idea why I wasn't getting any follow ups... Yes, I get it. Summerour is pretty popular venue, but it's pretty offensive that as a bride-to-be, I'm being filtered? Maybe because I had a small guest list and I wasn't ready to spend a fortune? That would be my best guess. As a venue that caters to weddings, I'm pretty appalled. Wedding planning is already stressful enough, thanks. I found my venue that actually cares about the customer and good luck to those that books here because if it's already headache from the start, I wouldn't imagine any better through out the whole process.

    Attended an Tanqueray Trukshow Event a few days ago and they put on a very nice event. The star was cute, fun and knowable of the festivities. My friend happen to say that this venue was a nice event to hold a wedding at. Which was accurate, I totally agree. Appetizers prepared where on point for what it was worth and cocktails were light. I don't think there was much appearance to the outside...(not that I seen anyway...) so, don't expect anything like lakes, ponds or staircases in the inside but, if your looking for a simple but, nice venue for any occasion...this perhaps may be a reasonable gem located 5mins from behind Atlantic Station.

    Limo can't make it up the hill! Summerour courtyard in distance.

    I cannot say enough amazing things about The Slate Room. After my original venue canceled on me…read morejust a week and a half before my event, I was in a full-on panic. I reached out to The Slate Room the next morning and was blown away by how easy and seamless the booking process was. Not only did they have availability, but the space ended up being even better than my original venue in every way. The location is prime, the pricing is more than fair, and the space itself is absolutely stunning. It's the perfect outdoor-hybrid setup and worked flawlessly for my party. Josh and Chavien were incredibly professional, kind, and transparent about everything from the very beginning. They walked me through all the features of the venue, answered every question I had, and made sure I felt fully supported. What really stood out to me was the level of care! Josh even came back the morning after my event to help a guest who thought they had left something behind. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and so appreciated. Thanks to The Slate Room, what could have been a stressful disaster turned into one of the best nights ever. I truly believe my party was better because it happened here. If you're looking for a beautiful, flexible venue with great energy and even better people, this is the one. I will recommend The Slate Room every chance I get. They absolutely saved my celebration and took it to the next level.

    I came for a private event & overall a good venue, which offers inside & outside usage…read more Unfortunately, the inside which was separated by a curtain, was not comfortable as the A/C was off & seating was sparse. The catering (outside vendor) was also located inside & dropped the ball on many aspects...with no fault of the Slate Room. I have never seen a large table covered in saran wrap serving as a charcuterie board with no serving utensils, mini plates & the much need for Hand Sanitizer. I digress to the outside, aside from the covered patio with sofas (they need to be replaced), picnic tables & a few chairs, the seating layoff were off. Now, depending on the packages - perhaps different setups with furniture &, etc may be offered. The parking logistics were very unpleasing. The parking space is shared, so 1st come 1st park. The neighboring businesses have parking spaces yet with the security outside they will let you know if you can park there or direct you somewhere else & with a small trek. The concept is great, yet the logistics could use some tweaking.

Drinks were okay, not too strong - there was no food available (afterwards outside - street food). Be mindful of your surroundings and onlookers in the parking area.

We entered with a $15 cover (cash accepted) just in time for class to start. The teacher made the class fun and taught the basics with ease. I liked how he gave everyone some extra moves to practice out on the floor in both salsa and bachata. The dance space was kind of small compared to what I've seen but people moved on and off the floor so much that it didn't get crowded. I also enjoyed how they had plenty of seating. I'm not sure what's up with ATL and charging crazy prices for bottled water... or maybe Nashville spoils us. Anywho, bottled water is $3. Per necessity, the DJ was a vibe I enjoyed how he played some classics, some new school and old school. My only wish was that he would mix up the genres instead of playing 4 salsa then 4 bachata, the 4 merengue... so on and so forth. Lastly to top it all off, there was a local taco shop selling tacos outside. After 4 hours of dancing they delivered! All in all, I will definitely don on my salsa shoes and visit Sanctuary Nightclub again!
