I would like to spotlight four Atlanta galleries for this particular post. I am listing them in alphabetical order:
ALAN AVERY ART COMPANY315 East Pace Ferry Road N.E.. This gallery has been a mainstay for the Buckhead/Atlanta art community for years and offers a warm intimate feel. Although contemporary in design there is a feeling of permanence to this space I really like.
If you are looking for a space for your wedding and reception, this one might be a bit tricky, especially if your guest list exceeds 100. I say this because, you need to have someplace for guests to go while the space is transformed from wedding to reception. If you are using the space for reception only I would say 200 would work very well with residential/lounge seating, dance floor and a few tables. The Gallery does have a second floor which is great for bridal party preparations or could be used for an intimate wedding of 75 with reception held in the gallery below. It also works if guests want to get away from the full party for a moment.
You may bring in your own caterer and beverages however, the gallery does have a list of preferred caterers with a favorite being endive www.endiveatlanta.com
The free standing building has a nice parking lot in front, ideal for valet parking. There is plenty of offsite parking available as well.

KAI LIN ART you cannot beat a Peachtree Street address and this one has it. 800 Peachtree Street, Suite A Atlanta, Georgia 30308. The gallery is located just south of Midtown on the West side of Peachtree between 5th and 6th streets. This is also a smaller space, 3,700 square feet. The space could be divided easily for a small wedding and open up into the reception area to the back. There is a track in the ceiling for draping and it would behoove the venue to go ahead and provide this drape effect for clients. The layout of the gallery is square and open, great space for dancing.
I strongly suggest valet parking for this venue. There is a parking lot in the back of the building and additional parking around the side streets, This could be a problem if any events are going on in town.

MASON MURER GALLERIES
325 East Paces Ferry Road, ATL, Ga 3035
199 Armour Drive, ATL, GA 30324 I said at the beginning that I would be covering four galleries and two of them are Mason Murer. Since I have been talking small galleries let’s get the Buckhead space out of the way first. Located on East Paces Ferry, it is a neighbor of Alan Avery Art Company. This space opens full out onto East Paces with plate glass windows running the length of the space. While very bright it could have a bit of a fish tank effect for an intimate wedding. The space drops down by three levels which is kind of neat because you do have the ability to overlook the party from the upper level.
This is a fine space for a wedding of 100 to 150 guests
Parking is available at the site and around the neighborhood. I still prefer Valet for this venue.
Now to the Big Daddy
Mason Murer at Armour Drive is the space for a great big wedding and fantastic BIG reception! With an abundance of square footage it offers many different ways to set up a wedding and a reception for with seamless flow from one to the other. The staff is experienced with large events and is very accommodating. High ceilings provide for excellent lighting and rigging points for décor and there is ample space for catering setup with easy access to loading docks.
If you are planning a big contemporary wedding and reception, this is the place.
