Pros and Cons of Events at Atlanta Courtyard Locations

Can't decide on the ideal setting for your event? Check out the pros and cons before deciding whether a courtyard is the right type of space for you.

Advantages

• Courtyards are hugely flexible spaces that can be altered to tie in with glamourous gatherings and casual get-togethers. They also suit all budgets.

• Whether you're in downtown Atlanta or one of the city's many popular neighborhoods, you'll find a vast selection of modern and historic spaces to choose from.

• Atlanta's thriving dining and nightlife scenes mean it's easy to find great catering and entertainment options for your event. Plenty of companies are available to create tasty and diverse menus.

Disadvantages

• The best event settings book out well in advance, so you'll need to get in early to secure the space you want. Atlanta is a big festival city all year long, making accommodations and venues harder to get last minute.

• Luxurious private courtyards often come with hefty price tags, so you may need to increase your budget to afford the space you want.

• If there's no protection from the elements, you may need a backup venue in case the weather turns nasty.

How to Plan a Courtyard Event

No matter what type of social or corporate event you're planning, careful organization and a thorough approach are key to success. Here are the steps you need to follow to plan a winner.

Choose Your Style – Start by deciding what style of event you want to host. Will it be a formal affair, a casual gathering, or something in between?

Set the Date, Budget, and Guest List – Choose a date and decide who you're going to invite, then get save-the-date messages sent out to make sure everyone can attend. You'll also need to crunch the numbers to work out how much you can afford to spend on the occasion.

Book a Space – Compare courtyard venues in Atlanta to find your ideal event venue. Whatever you want in an outdoor courtyard—a West Midtown location, other rooms indoors in case of wet weather, elegant decor, on-site security services, mood lighting for night events, a helpful owner, or any other features, you can think of—shop around for a city courtyard that can accommodate all your needs.

Organize Food and Drink – Now it's time to choose a menu from the options the venue provides or shop around for your own catering company. You'll want the bar to be well stocked, too, including options for the non-drinkers at your party.

Book Entertainment – If you're booking a live band, guest speaker, or DJ or just hiring some fun party games, make calls, discuss fees, and decide on your showcase entertainment.

Make the Space Just Right – The final step is to do whatever you need to do to make your space look and function perfectly. You may want to source extra tables and chairs, make decorations, or rent some AV equipment for speeches and presentations.

You might be put off by the extra upfront cost of hiring an event planner, but it could actually end up saving you money in the long run. An experienced firm will boast a professional team of event planners who can help you find the best deals and most affordable options on every aspect of your celebration.

Know what to expect (and be ready for surprises).
