We had a memorial service there. The staff were helpful. The place is large and bright and has different areas for people to be. Definitely recommend!
The Solarium is a unique and beautiful venue. Located in Decatur, in Metro Atlanta, the Solarium feels worlds away. The Solarium was founded in 1979 as a community center available for rent, the building itself is much older. The facility was originally built in 1918 as a place for crippled children , this aspect shows through the natural light which comes through virtually every angle of the building. It is the perfect venue for an afternoon or early evening wedding. The bay of windows along the facade of the building creates a light and airy ambience which appropriately sets the mood for a wedding celebration! The facility itself is a not-for-profit entity, which promotes the preservation of the building and grounds. You can feel good about renting the facility, since you are also supporting a good cause. The personnel are easy to work with and very accommodating. The facility rental also includes the use of beautiful, cushioned folding chairs along with folding tables , so you don't have to worry about finding a vendor for those needs. Also, the facility does not require pre-approved vendors or caterers. I found this really helpful because I was able to choose which caterer I wanted for my celebration at no additional cost. The facility itself is very close to several restaurants and bars which my wedding guests took advantage of for the after wedding celebrations! Overall I would highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for a unique venue for their wedding in the Metro Atlanta area.
