The Peabody

Fee Structure:  Room Fee + Food & Beverage Order Minimum

Located on the second floor, The Peabody is our fully private event space. It seats 70 comfortably but has a maximum capacity of 100 ppl for cocktail-style set-ups.

The Peabody boasts its own bar, which hails from the renowned Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN. There is also a covered porch with tables for seating and 2 restrooms.

Perfect for larger gatherings, the open expanse of the room lends itself well to a variety of functions and event designs. There is a projector and screen as well as a microphone and speaker available for use in this space.

There is an additional fee of $17 for each table linen.

There is NO elevator service to the 2nd floor. Live music is permitted in this space.

We provide the space, all tables and chairs, music, food, beverage, silverware, serving utensils, plates, water glasses, all stemware, cocktail glasses, and staff for your event. The projector, screen, and microphone are available for use at NO additional cost. We recommend bringing all decor and other supplies that you may need.

Yes.

Timing

We offer event start times all day long. An important consideration when deciding on the start-time of your event and the full event timeline is afternoon/evening Atlanta traffic.

All events last 3 hours from the start time (not including set-up) but must end by the agreed upon time, to avoid incurring additional fees.

Tuesday – Thursday 9pm (may extend event for a fee)

Friday and Saturday 10pm (may extend event for a fee)

Event staff is scheduled in exactly 1-2 hours prior to your event start time. You are welcome to arrive with decor anytime within those two hours otherwise you do have the option of dropping off decor earlier in the day with instructions and our staff is happy to place florals/candles out for you. There is however a limit to the amount of decor that our staff will have time to put out. Please make sure your event coordinator has been informed of all decor.

Decor that our staff can set-out (given instructions): Flower vases, candles, table runners, chargers.
Additional items such as banners, balloons hanging photos, framed photos, etc. must be handled by the client(s). Often it is helpful you have a friend or family member volunteer their services to help with decor.

Upon approval, you have the option to extend your event for a fee.

Decor & Set-up

There is NO glitter or confetti allowed on the premises. There is a $250 clean- up fee for any glitter/confetti that is brought-in. This includes items that are covered in glitter, confetti balloons, glitter on bags/decor/frames, party confetti on tables, etc.

Please do not use tape on our floors for any purpose. Any damages to the floors from tape will incur a repair cost.

No. All clients must bring their own decor, including candles. We DO recommend bringing in
candles for the Peabody space, it makes for great ambiance.

YES! Please let your event coordinator know beforehand so they can plan accordingly and notify the staff working the event.

We have 9 of the 5' round tables (which can seat up to 8 guests).**

We have 4 of the 4' round tables (which can seat up to 6 guests).**

We have 3 of the 6' rectangular tables (these are used as our food buffet tables and do require table cloths).**

We have 6 high top 30" round tables.**

**These tables come with an ivory linen. All linens incur a fee of $17 per linen. One linen is needed per table. This fee is automatically added.

We have had both ceremonies and receptions take place upstairs so, yes, it is possible.

Capacity

While our upstairs space is rated for 100 people, the ideal number of people depends on your event
needs and event set up. For a heavy hors d'oeuvres cocktail style set-up, we can accommodate 100 people at one time in the space. If your event is more of a drop-in style and you are expecting 125 people, but not all at once, then we can accommodate a group that size.

If you would prefer a seated dinner, we can accommodate a max of 64 people for buffet dinner and 72 people for a family style dinner.

Menu & Dining Service Questions

Yes. Most of our menu can be prepared gluten free. We have a lot of vegetarian items and can also prepare vegan items, as requested. Please notify your event coordinator of any severe allergies! If you have a couple guests who need to order from our regular dinner menu the night of the event, that can also be arranged.

Our hors d'oeuvres are placed on the hors d'oeuvres table.

We offer buffet, family style or heavy hors d'oeuvres dining options, but not plated.

Yes our hummus platter comes with fresh crudites and a fruit platter can be ordered for $38.

You can preorder vegetable plates for vegan/vegetarian guests. Many of our event items can be made vegetarian and/or vegan. You are also welcome to order extra vegetable sides for the whole group from our event menu.

Buffet dinner service is a quicker style of service that allows your guests control over when they
eat. They're able to move more freely and flexibly around the room before, during, and after dinner.
This set-up is great for groups who prefer to mingle, and chat, and don't want to be on a strict
timeline. It has also worked for groups who prefer not to have everyone seated at once. With this
set-up you have the option of flexible/communal seating OR having a dedicated place setting for
each guest. Buffet style of service does require more tables and seating which, depending on the
size of your group, can decrease the amount of space for mingling, activities, etc.

Family style service is slightly more formal and is a multi-step process which does take more
time from start to finish. If you plan to have games and activities for your group, this style of
service does limit the amount of time you will have for those activities/ games. With this set-up,
each guest has a dedicated seat/place setting. PLEASE NOTE: with family style service, there is
no room on the dining tables for decor, because this space is utilized only for serving platters.
With family style service, we do recommend serving dessert buffet style so that guests have a chance
to get up and move about the room, mingle, and enjoy dessert at their preferred time. It is important
to note that with family style service, there is VERY limited space on the tables for decor.

Heavy hors d'oeuvres are a great option for events that are looking to maximize guest interaction
and visiting. It's also the only option we offer for groups over 70 people. With this set-up, mingling
space is maximized and there are seats available for guests, but not each guest has a dedicated
seat/place setting.

Yes. The cake cutting fee is $55

Can you cut my cake and serve it and provide all utensils and plates? Yes, that is included for the $55 cake cutting fee.

For heavy hors d'oeuvres events, we do not offer tastings, as these special-order menu items can only be made in large quantities. A few items on our hors d'oeuvres list can be found on our regular dinner menu (including the fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, buffalo fried cauliflower, and pimento cheese).

A tasting for buffet or family style event can be arranged for two people at no cost. Any additional
Guest at the tasting will be a $35 fee per person. Tastings do not include alcohol but we do offer
complementary tastings of our house wines.

At least one month before your event

Yes! We print bar menus for all events. (food menus are printed only upon request). If your event is heavy hors d'oeuvres, there will be labels for the food items instead of printed menus.
Please let the event coordinator know if you require any allergies or dietary preferences listed on
the menus (GF, vegan, etc.)
You're welcome to bring-in your own menus but we HIGHLY recommend having our event
coordinator proof the menus before you print them (especially bar menus, as our beers change often).

the bar. But you are welcome to select different bottles of wine to offer on your bar menu. Please
request the most current wine list from your event coordinator. All selections must be submitted at
least two weeks in advance.

No. unfortunately the city of Chamblee does not allow us to offer corkage to our patrons.

Yes, we can provide drink tickets for your event. You pre-pay for the tickets which we count and
give to the on-site contact at the time of the event. You are responsible for distributing the tickets to your guests. If you decide to purchase more tickets, you're able to do so throughout the event, but we do not refund unused tickets.

Drink ticket pricing is $10/ticket for beer and wine only and $12/ticket for beer/wine/well
spirits.

Our standard well spirits are premium. They vary occasionally, so please ask your coordinator for the most current list.

A/V, Music & Entertainment

You must bring in a laptop with an HDMI port and/or converter cable to connect to the projector. All sound will come from your computer when it is hooked up to the projector, so any music played while the projector is in use must be played from your computer.

Yes. We do have one mic and a small P/A (speaker) that you're welcome to use at no additional
cost.

It really depends upon the size of the group and the volume of the speaker. If it's a small group
and/or a short toast, it's not necessary to use a mic. If you have a larger group and/or a long presentation or multiple speeches, we do recommend using the mic.

We have surround sound that we play Spotify through and you're welcome to select the Spotify
channel or you can bring in your own playlist to plug into our aux cord.

If you would like to share your playlist with us, please send the link to southboundatlamanda@gmail.com, and we can download your playlist to our iPod. We have some converter cables for iPhones, etc. but we recommend to bring all cables/chargers, etc. with you for your event. There are stores nearby that often carry these items, if you forget to bring what you need.

Yes! Please make sure you inform all vendors that there is no elevator access to the second floor and our staff is not responsible for vendors' load-in process. Also, please inform your event coordinator of all vendors you've hired. This is very important to the success of your event!
