After a long day of ceremonial fun, Jinal & David were ready to have even more fun, and could not wait to celebrate their marriage with their 500+ family and friends who came from all over the world in an elegant action-filled glamour reception celebration.
The party continued throughout the night with grand entrances, jaw-dropping performances, emotional speeches, and ended the night with an EDM style nightclub-like party, all at the beautiful Hotel at Avalon.

Pros and Unique Features
- Fun/unique backdrop for photos! If you like a "city-vibe," then the Avalon can provide a really cute backdrop for photos. The inside of the hotel also has a few nice spaces for photos, like the greenery wall + swing.
- Multiple Ballrooms: They have multiple ballrooms of different sizes, all of which could be great options for receptions, parties, corporate events, etc.
- Intimate Ceremony Site: I absolute LOVE the ceremony site! It's a really cute circular nook situated at the corner of the building. Because it is walled in on all sides (it just has a small opening on one side,) it has a very intimate feeling.
- Exceptional Acoustics: I was COMPLETELY SHOCKED by how great the acoustics were in this ceremony space.
- Natural Light: I really like all of the natural light that comes in, and I love the drapery over the windows.
- Weather Protection: Georgia weather can be super unpredictable, so I think the Hotel at Avalon is great because you don't have to worry about anything if it rains!
- Staff: The staff at the Hotel at Avalon were incredibly helpful and kind.
Logistics and Planning Considerations
While the venue is impressive, there are some practical aspects to consider for your event planning.
Parking and Traffic
If it's not easy and free, it's a bit of a point deduction in my book. At the Hotel at Avalon, there is NO free parking in their parking deck. Not for vendors or for guests. The deck is conveniently located next to the hotel, but sometimes traffic can get congested inside of the Avalon, so it's important to plan for that as well.
Space and Variety
The ballrooms are nice and large, but the ceremony site is a bit on the small side. It was the perfect size for this wedding, but if you have a larger wedding, you could potentially be a bit cramped for space. Also, since it's a fully indoor venue, you might not have as much variety in terms of backdrops compared to other locations.
Location Advantage: I think that the Hotel at Avalon would be a really great venue if you have a lot of out-of-town guests coming. Obviously the convenience of having a place for guests to lodge is great. But also, the Avalon is just a super fun place to hang out with tons of great restaurants and shopping.
