Le Fais Do-Do

Marie was very professional and sweet. She stayed on top of things, offered her suggestions and made my day unbelievably beautiful. From day one I felt comfortable and assured that Le Fais do~do was the location for me. This has been one of my best experiences of customer service since I have relocated here to Atlanta 9 years ago. Marie you have outdone your self and I appreciate everything that you have said and done for me. Thank you doll.

This is a visiting experience review ONLY…
My fiancé and I visited this venue in order to decide whether to book it for our wedding. Marie was quite nice. We had a pleasant conversation and enjoyed our time with her. I remember she was very clear about budget and not expecting a fairy tale whimsical wedding while having a low captial. She was firm not rude almost like a parent would speak to a child with their heads in the clouds.
She walked us through the spaces she had available and it was truly a huge space. She had several suggestions on how to use the space and what she could offer. Her warehouse is packed with almost anything that you can dream up for an event.
However, we decide not to use Le Fais Do-​Do because it was too far out for us as we live in Lawrenceville. The commute from the church would be almost an hour which I considered highly unreasonable to ask of my guests.
Looking for a pleasant experience??? Look no further, just make sure you can budget well and stay within your budget because she has some pretty tempting beautiful packages. :)

We hosted a 250 person gala at Le Fais Do-​Do this past weekend and could not be any happier with the venue and service. We arrived around 2pm for our event that started at 6pm, and for four hours, I watched the staff work tirelessly to arrange tables, chairs, centerpieces, and to make sure we did not miss any details. Everyone there has a great working relationship and the staff even joked with us as we were preparing our items. Amateurs by no means, the staff timed everything perfectly, with the last centerpiece lit right before our first guests arrived.
Marie, the owner, is such a sweet lady and a treasure to work with. With her hair in a messy bun, I watched her work tirelessly, running from room to room, making sure everything was in place for our event. She even took it upon herself to install our banner, something I would never expect from a lady half my size! I called her a superwoman several times and I truly meant it. I have never seen an owner of an establishment work as hard as Marie.
When our event took off, Marie instantly took the form of proud establishment host and venue planner, changing into a blazer and proper attire to meet and mingle with some of our guests. We requested several last-​minute items and Marie and her staff met all of our needs with prompt action. We would not hesitate to host another event here and I could not be more delighted with the staff and service. Definitely top notch!

Run, don’t walk or even pause to look. Horrible negative person and energy. She doesn’t know how to run a business or a venue. I can vouch for the bride that I was attempting to help in relation to this business and she was held hostage, despite knowing the issues with the owner.

Do yourself a favor and find another venue. The venue is beautiful, but the owner’s lack of professionalism, failure to communicate in a timely fashion, and her last minute mentality makes it an additional headache for any soon to be bride.
I got married here in April of 2014. Prior to the wedding Marie missed multiple scheduled meetings and walkthroughs. She took months to respond to emails, texts, and calls (that’s if she ever responded).
On the day of my wedding Marie the venue owner called and informed us that our wedding would have to start an hour early because she never checked her email to see what time the wedding was actually supposed to start. Many of my guests and vendors commented that her staff was rude to them (including my mother, who is rude to the mother of the bride). A few of my vendors even told me that they would never do another event at this venue.
My suggestion for anyone looking for a space to do a wedding and reception is to keep looking. Marie draws you in with all of the can-​dos when she is initially showing the venue, but trust me it is all fluff. You spend entirely to much money on a wedding to have to put up with her. It’s a beautiful place but not worth the stress. stay away!

Unilocal’s Masquerade Ball was held here one year. don’t know why I never reviewed the place! It was my first Unilocal event and it was pretty whimsical. One section was dedicated to the free appetizers from various food vendors. We arrived kind of late so most of them had left or ran out of food at that point. There was a nifty photo booth /​area with OMG Booth where we got some quality pictures taken to remember the night. The DJ had music playing all night long and there were pretty people in dresses, suits, and masks everywhere. This was probably one of the most memorable events I had ever been to, thanks to Le Fais Do-​Do letting Kathleen use their space.
Oh, but parking is horrible though. :/

I hosted my wedding reception at Le Fais Dodo and cannot give enough praise to Marie, her staff and her family for making the event spectacular. Marie anticipates every concern and becomes a pseudo-​coordinator to help relieve any anxiety and stress with all of the planning. The venue was transformed completely and very comfortable for dancing and dinner for my 250 guests. Her wedding vendor contacts were exceptional and extremely professional. I know without a doubt that my event could not have been better or more beautiful… By the end of it, I considered Marie like a life long friend instead of a vendor. I highly recommend Le Fais Do-​Do. The entire venue can transform into any creation you can envision… but Marie invests her own time into the experience, which makes it unmatched with other venues… excellent

Where do I start??? It’s only been a few days since our wedding reception and ceremony at Le Fais Do-​Do and I already want to go back and have another party there! I’ll start back in January of 2012 when we began looking at venues for our wedding. We called around to a few places but nothing really jumped out at us until we found Le Fais Do-​Do online. We made an appointment and made our way to Ellsworth Industrial Blvd. I’ll be honest, at first glance we were a little bit hesitant since the location is not what you would expect for an amazing event place. As we walked inside though, we were met with an amazing space full of character and tons of small details. The space is simply stunning and it was not even decorated when we came to visit for the first time.
We met Marie, the owner, who showed us around and gave us a brief history of the location. She was full of energy and passion, you can clearly tell that she loves what she does. She was very interested in our ideas for a non-​traditional event and immediately began throwing out ideas of how to accomplish what we wanted. The conversation flowed effortlessly as she came up with more and more ideas from decorations to logistics and everything in between. As we left Le Fais Do-​Do, both of us had decided that it was going to be THE place before we even discussed it with each other.
The months flew by as the date quickly arrived. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we stayed in touch with Marie regarding the different vendors and some decorating aspects. We did not give Marie much direction for decorating and when I saw the almost finished product the day before our wedding, I was blown away! Everything was done so well and with so much class that I couldn’t believe that this was being done for us! I’m not great with decorating but all I can say is that there is no way that we could have ever come up with anything remotely close to what Marie did for us with very little direction from my wife and myself.
Some more praise for Marie before I finish my novel of a review. About a week before our event, my now father in law contacted Marie about possibly having a tv set up so that some of our guests could keep an eye on the Georgia-​Missouri football game the same night of the wedding. Once again, Marie went above and beyond by setting up an entire area specifically dedicated to the game. She had it projected on the wall with couches set up all around so that people can lounge around and watch the game. This was a huge hit with everyone and I was very impressed how Marie pulls out all the stops for her clients.
I can’t say enough good things about Le Fais Do-​Do! I’ll simply finish with this, as my wife Jess and I briefly sat down to eat during the reception, we said to each other that if people are not having their receptions at Le Fais Do-​Do, they are missing out!

In February 2011, I produced a show there + had a very negative experience working with the staff. Communication was spotty, payment was promised to us + it never materialized. There seemed to be a lack of organization + inability to comprehend event logistics by the owner.
Don’t get me wrong, the venue is a beautiful palace of vintage style but I warn anyone working with them to have a contract and multiple witnesses to verify information.

Seems like a pretty decent place to host an event. Big and roomy with side rooms for break-​out stuff. Plenty of parking and clean rest rooms. Not sure of what else you would need.

Very chic. Very cool. An awesome place to have an event!

A great event place with lots of rooms for smaller areas (cake, punch, drinks, food… etc) The Masquerade ( Unilocal style) had a ton of people, but it never felt over crowded. If you needed a break from the crowd, just walk to another room. The main room was perfect for dancing and listening to the DJ. The décor is very comfy yet sophisticated all at the same time.

I hosted my wedding at Le Fais do-​do and I am very appreciative of everything they did during our magical day. Le Fais do-​do went above and beyond my expectations of a wedding venue and couldn’t be happier with how the night turned out.
I loved the venue itself because I was able to do nearly anything I wanted. There is so much space, I was able to set up a large photo booth area that accomodated more than 40 people at times, a dance floor, a ceremony area, dining space and more with plenty of room to spare.
Maybe greater than the venue itself was the service I recieved. I am very much a do-​it-​yourselfer and had a lot of ideas on how I wanted the event to happen. When I explained this to the operator Marie, she was very understanding. Ultimately, I didn’t expect her to do much the night of the event, but of course, as these things often go, there were many situations unplanned for (oops). Luckily, Marie was ready. She helped more than I can possibly thank her for. I’d highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to plan a wedding or other event.

Hosted a Silent Auction for a local school here. Although I had never heard of Le Fais before, I was pleased with the space considering its industrial location and thought it easy to find as it is only two turns away from I-​75. Plenty of parking and good flow inside made the event work considering the 300+ people plus all the tables of items, stage, and catering. Marie was very polite, easy to work with, and accommodating of the host team.

The venue itself is a little out of the way but has potential to be a great venue for a corporate event or party. I’ve recommended it to our events people.

Le Fais Do Do is a sweeping industrial blank canvas that manages to lend itself to infinite possibilities with built-​in character and heart. I met Marie through one of her other enterprises, and she invited me to stop by this evening’s open house. Marie is, from the little I know, a woman with seemingly boundless energy and passion, coupled with a humility that did nothing to prepare me for the scope of this evening. I anticipated a small, bare, new space in a strip mall, with a smattering of attendees.
Instead, located in the West-​Midtown Design District, this evening’s event drew hundreds. The event featured a multitude of designers showcasing a myriad of styles. Unlike the designers’ showroom next door, a brightly lit vast expanse of wares, the space at Le Fais Do Do was sultry, classy, and mesmerizing, without being pretentious. From lighting to event designers, clothing to furniture, the event managed to at once highlight the infinite possibilities of the space and to lure the attendees in to a vast array of magical installations. Le Fais Do Do is likely to be a highly-​sought-​after resource for those desiring to host or produce events with class, flair, and distinction.
