Atlanta Occasions Magazine
Atlanta Occasions Magazine & AtlantaOccasions.com are your LUXE guide to planning weddings, corporate, and social events south of the Mason Dixon Line. Atlanta Occasions bridges the gap between service seeker and service provider served up with an extra side of sweet southern hospitality, in the 28 counties of Metro Atlanta area. Getting right down to the nitty gritty, Atlanta Occasions Magazine makes it easy to find the information Atlantans want in the geographic area relevant to them.
It’s true. Many of the elements it takes to put on an extraordinary wedding are also the most important details to consider when planning a memorable corporate event, charity gala,mitzvah, or business meeting. Because of that, we’ve created an all inclusive unparalleled guide to Venues and Vendors for special events in Metro Atlanta, and targeted our distribution to the very Atlantans that need this information the most. People like…..Corporate Event Planners, Administrative Assistants, Moms, Managers, Business Owners, Government Officials and Brides will now have the no nonsense information they need that has been exclusively designed just for them.

We are so excited for the next edition of Atlanta Occasions magazine. Not only is our featured Ask A Planner column even better than the last one, but there is even a special bonus in there as well. This issue is filled of luxe tablescapes, the hottest venues in Atlanta for any occasion whether it is a wedding, bat or bar mitzvah, sweet 16, reunion, really anything that requires at least 2 people in attendance, this magazine is for you.
Stay tuned as we give you the details for an upcoming event.
We are so excited to announce that we will be participating in The NOT Wedding 2010 as the event planner. Atlanta Occasions will is now the executive producer of the NOT wedding. The NOT Wedding will take place at the Foundry at Puritan Mill for their third addition. This event will guarantee to be larger and better than the previous ones. Not only will we be in a larger space, but some of the teams lined up, plan to bring inspiration tablescapes like never seen before.
If you are new to the NOT Wedding, here is a little bit of background information:
Recent magazines and websites in the wedding industry have done a fabulous job keeping up with trends and offering inspiring new ideas to brides, but there’s still something to be said about experience. Sometimes you just need to see, smell, touch, hear, taste… and that’s where we saw a void.
As members of the wedding industry ourselves, we definitely had opinions on which vendors were the best of the best, and we were looking for a way to share that with other brides in a totally new way. We dreamed of just planning the perfect wedding featuring our favorite vendors, thus allowing brides to see everything live, in action. So in the end, that’s just what we did- we planned a wedding. A big fake one. And we called it The NotWedding.
Complete with a cocktail hour, ceremony and reception, The NotWedding has become a killer alternative to a bridal show. Our hand-selected vendors perform their services as they would at a real wedding, and our “wedding guests” get to hear the music, taste the cakes, touch the dresses… while enjoying food, drinks, dancing and loads of free stuff.
This year I would like to do things a bit different this time around. Stay tuned as I bring “behind the scene” footage and coverage of what it takes to pull off this event. We will cover inside information to show you what’s in store for the NOT Wedding 2010.

But never have I been called an Event Fairy Godmother. I am seriously contemplating changing the title on my business cards! Atlanta Occasions makes my heart swoon each and every time. Head over to check out our one on one interview where I totally had the chance to get silly but hopefully still offer some good advice.

So everyone knows how much I love getting into the smile booth. In fact if you look at all the pics I may be in half of them! LOL. I really let my hair down and had fun. I played with the back drop that Ashley from dolci odille designed. My gosh was it fun.
There are rules to the Smile Booth, well ones that I made up anyway;
- Have Fun!
- Make the wackiest face
- drag as many people in as possible
- click away, every pic will be a good pic
- the smile booth is always more fun with a backdrop, I had dreads in one pic and an eighties bandana in another
- Make a photo ablum/flip book from the nights events
Someone said on facebook this is blackmail for wedding pros. Everyone just had a good ole time. Check out the wacky pics from Our Labor of Love Smile Booth below:
Me and Heidi Elnora. She was too funny to be in the booth with. We strutted like we were on the next edition of Project Runway!
In the picture on the right you can see the Bridal Bar gals getting down with Amy Osaba and some of Atlanta’s top wedding planners!
Amy with Heidi from Our Labor of Love.
Heather Vreeland showing everyone how to have fun in the smile booth.
Didn’t I say we were having fun?
I just love this effect. It makes me laugh each and everytime I see it.
Joel Rabe from Lethal Rhythms on the ones and twos. Can we take a moment to absorb the fab blue uplighting and swirl designs courtesy of Doc from Full Circle Lighting?
A very glossy magazine only deserves a very glossy coffee table.
These illuminated tables set the tone! Oh and can we swoon over the sheer fabulousness of the drapes?
Heather Vreeland the diva in charge! Can I just say how much I loved her blue dress?
M Cupcakes did an amazing job with not only the cupcakes but the display.
Heather on the blue carpet!
Getting down having some fun.
Please head over to Ben’s blog to see some more amazing images from the slide show.
Thank you Heather for allowing me to be apart of such an amazing event and premiere issue.
