Our party with a purpose has moved to one of the most unique venues in the world — The Guardian Works-Atlanta. This indoor/outdoor venue allows for the return of “The Alpha Leaf” cigar lounge, and provides three distinct spaces for four distinct vibes.
Hand-selected vendors, silent auction, premium food, drinks, best hat competition, live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby and more. Trust us — nothing is left to chance.

SUNDAY, MAY 3RD:
SUNDAY BRUNCH

In Atlanta, Sundays are for Brunch! So, what better way to cap off a weekend of style, panache, and class other than brunch and bottomless mimosas! The traditional Jazz brunch gets a unique twist this year where YOU will be the center of entertainment (can’t wait to reveal what we’re cooking up). Guests will enjoy a plated meal style breakfast buffet complete with carving stations, desserts, attentive service, on site vendors, and more. Then, the DJ makes sure we all leave the weekend with zero energy! The final party with a purpose.
