Spend a romantic evening with your Valentine under the stars in the Garden where jazzy Sinatra sounds serenade you through an evening of dancing and dining. Stroll through the Garden on a lovely winter’s night and warm up inside where you will find stellar sounds, decadent tastes and lively entertainment. From stargazing to lighting up the dance floor, guests will be over the moon on Valentines!
About the Event
- Guests will enter the Hardin Visitor Center and enjoy posing under the giant Crescent Moon and the evening sky with celestial performers. Upon entering you will be greeted with a special treat!
- The evening’s headliner, Joe Gransden and his band, will Fly You to the Moon with sounds of Sinatra in a 60s Vegas-themed nightclub reminiscent of the glamorous time when the Rat Pack, tuxedos, feathered dancers and martinis were all the rage! Enjoy decadent small plates provided by Proof of the Pudding and Bold Catering & Design and come dressed to impress!
- It is written in the stars that you will be dancing to one of the Garden’s fan favorites, the Infinity Show Band in Mershon Hall! Warm up with a drink from the coffee bar and enjoy a celestial sweet treat with your sweetie provided by Affairs to Remember!
- Recommit to each other with live vow renewals performed in Day Hall followed by a “first dance” with Joe Gransden!
- Embrace this exclusive evening opportunity to view Orchid Daze: Reflections in Bloom by Lillian Blades, and meet the artist in the Atrium from 7 – 8 p.m.
- The sweet scents of the orchids will have you craving the delicious morsels provided by Low Country Catering, and singer/guitarist Angel Gabriel will romance you while you warm up with a drink from the coffee bar and enjoy a treat with your Valentine.
- Don’t miss the chance to light up the sky with Amp’d Entertainment when Longleaf Restaurant transforms into a vibrant dance party complete with glowing foam sticks and an LED dance floor! Fall in love with the delicacies provided by Party Execs and sip a specialty drink in our pop-up celestial cocktail lounge! Head upstairs to the rooftop where the fireplace and heaters will keep you cozy while stargazing through the telescopes of the Atlanta Astronomy Club.
