A spacious room set with tables draped in gold linen glows beneath the soft light of five crystal chandeliers. It’s hard to believe the building at 2080 Lower Roswell Road in Marietta was originally a Zaxby’s. Wheeler High School class of 1998 graduate, Nazanin Moradimehr saw the hidden potential in this East Cobb property. She purchased the place in January of 2023 and began extensive renovations in April. Join the community and witness this incredible local transformation at the grand opening of Elegance Events venue on Sunday, June 18. The free, indoor-outdoor celebration kicks off at 6pm and will feature live music by local DJ Amir, Gyro Chef food truck, floral decor by Urban Blooms Atlanta, and event design displays by Nazanin.
Nazanin, better known as Nazy by friends and family, has been in the restaurant and catering industry for most of her life. She grew up in a Mediterranean cafe on Cobb Parkway that was owned and operated by her parents. Although her parents closed the cafe and moved their business to Florida over 20 years ago, Nazy launched her own successful hospitality career in Georgia. She is an event planning connoisseur who holds a bachelor’s in hospitality from Florida International University and a doctorate in business from Argosy University. The former restaurant owner is excited to step into her new role as venue owner of Elegance Events.
“This is home to me. I grew up around here. I wanted to be a part of this community, because this is my community. I looked at a lot [of properties], I’ve seen places everywhere, but I wanted to be here.” -Nazanin Moradimehr
Nestled in a quiet corner of Newmarket Center shopping mall, Elegance Events venue has a clean, neutral exterior and is partially surrounded by trees. Nazy was drawn to the property’s accessible location and all-inclusive amenities. Bountiful on-site parking, a full-service catering kitchen, and modern bathrooms ticked all of her boxes. The event space can accommodate up to 200 guests, but is most comfortable with 120 when a dance floor is included. Nazy describes the space as a blank canvas. An exposed industrial-chic ceiling painted black and nine commercial size windows can be styled for events ranging from weddings to conference meetings. Guests have access to an expansive bar and floor to-ceiling projection screen. In addition to the venue, Nazy offers event planning and design, catering, and a selection of event rentals. Her most unique rental items include a wrought iron cinderella carriage, a massive world globe, and a palanquin for carrying royal guests of honor. Nazy has a passion for bringing client event visions to life with customized decor and menus.
Elegance Events caters to everyone, literally. Nazy can prepare any kind of food upon request, however her talent shines best in Mediterranean and Persian cuisine. Clients in and outside of East Cobb are welcome to enlist Nazy’s services or hire alternative vendors for their event. Whether she’s building a balloon arch or cooking food for fifty, she always remains calm and maintains a positive attitude. Recently, Nazy helped a client plan a successful surprise marriage proposal at a lakeside 40th birthday party. She is eager to celebrate the grand opening of Elegance Events and to share her services with the community. Nazy is supported by a small team of friends and family that includes her 15-year-old son Sam Moradi who plays football at Walton High School and their pet bunny, Marshmallow.
