The Metropolitan Club

Just got back from a beautiful wedding at this venue. Saturday night wedding and reception. Our hosts had arranged for hotel accommodations down the street at the Marriott so it was incredibly convenient for us out of towners. The location was nice. It may have been a converted office building but we would never have guessed. So nice inside. The staff never missed a beat to ensure everyone was moved through the different areas of our event. There was a very nice cocktailing area after the ceremony with a full bar. All the servers and bar tenders were smiling and pleasant and just added to the atmosphere. Very attentive during the meal. The food was excellent.
It was modern and decorated elegantly (I know that is more the wedding planner) but this venue can be done in so many ways. Parking was easy and accessible. Many attendees were offered shuttle service between the venue and the Marriott down the street.
I think this is a great venue for a wedding. Lots of folks from out of town at this wedding, but many locals as well.

Excellent venue! My business has been using the Metropolitan Club for the past 10+ years-​even in its prior location in Roswell. I have always been impressed with the service and commitment to making our annual event the very best it can be. Mark is great to work with and our event always goes off «without a hitch». It’s nice not to have to worry about anything-​the Metropolitan Club has it all under control!

Both my sister and I had our wedding receptions here and they were excellent! Service is amazing, food was top notch, and sooooo spacious!!! It even has a bar :) not a full one, of course, but perfect. I couldn’t have asked for anything different. My only, very minor, complaint would be outdoor scenery is minimum. Very little opportunity for nice photos. Very few flowers, etc. But the facility itself, very nice.

Metropolitan Club? Sounds fancy and stuff.
Well, yes and no. Very nice facility! Very clean, modern and spacious! We hosted a work event here and I was very impressed.
First off, the staff here is 100% professional. We had attention the whole time from waitstaff, to servers, to floor managers. Everyone did a great job.
Food was outstanding. I couldn’t believe I was at a banquet hall at instead of a nice restaurant. Everything was warm and fresh and the presentation was great.
Again, the space is clean and there is plenty of parking. They have a nice bar area, coat room, wide open floor area, close bathrooms… this place pretty much has it all.
We’ve been trying to get in here for our Xmas party but they are always booked up then, now I know why!

Just got back from my buddies wedding and they had everything at The Metropolitan Club; ceremony and reception. It was a great space and even though the ceremony was outside in July in Atlanta the shading tree line still made it bearable.
The staff moved us from one room to the other in the most professional way where no one felt like they were cattle. They rented out the entire place so we had the run of it and the grounds were beautiful. From what I understand, they went through a lot of different menus with the bride and groom to tailor it to their specifications (groom is from the South and bride is from the Upper East Coast).
All in all a great place to have any event, the only thing holding it back is that it is at LEAST 30 minutes away from Atlanta proper and if it gets too late you are stick in Alpharetta for the night.

From time to time the bigwigs at my company like to have an all-​hands meeting. That’s terrific except our office doesn’t have a room to hold a crowd this size. We usually wind up at the Metropolitan Club on Windward. This place is perfect for such a function. They have a large and wide open space with some audio/​visual equipment so the MBAs can show their fancy power point presentations. Meanwhile I’m getting all jacked up on free Diet Cokes and hors d’ oeuvres. Everybody wins!
Beyond stuff like this, I really don’t have a lot of experience dealing with this place. The food is pretty tasty. But after looking at their website, I kinda think we are sampling stuff from their basic menu. They offer what looks like some nice catering in an elegant setting. The problem is… behind all the beautiful furniture and décor, this is really just a converted cubicle farm. Yeah it is nice and all inside but that’s about it. Outside it is parking lots and pine trees. I just don’t see it as THE destination for a beautiful wedding reception or something. This is Windward Parkway after all.
Parking can be a problem if the place is full. And if all your guests arrive or leave at the same time, then traffic can be a nightmare getting back onto Windward Parkway.
So all in all, I think this place would work for a business gathering, but I would not consider it for a wedding, birthday, bar mitzvah or other social event.
