This year, for the first time, the group -- comprised of catering and event professionals representing most major hotels, caterers, florists, photographers, entertainers and other wedding and event professionals throughout the area -- is opening the doors to the public to see what Atlanta's top event designers create when seeking to be the best among their peers.
