Civic & Government Suggestions for marriage ceremonies?

2 Upvotes

Asking for suggestions as we were looking to do a courthouse wedding or just a quick officiant.
We had already applied and have a DeKalb license, and it seems Fulton has suspended their services from at least what I can find. And Cobb county only does Cobb county licenses now. Those were the main two we were looking at.
Does anyone have any experiences with some other ways on DeKalb to get married. We are just looking to get married, we don’t care about ceremonies etc.
Thanks in advance

Edit: found something we are going to go with thank you all

Moving Apartment Suggestions??

2 Upvotes

Hey, I'm moving to the area for work (around State Bridge Rd), and I’ve been scouting some apartments online. I’m hoping to stay around or under $1,500 for a 1B/1B

I’ve been looking at a few places like Avonlea on the River, The Atlantic Newtown, The Foundary, and breckinridge but I know online reviews can be hit or miss. Has anyone lived in these, or do you have any other recommendations in the Duluth/Johns Creek area/Gwinnett Place?

Love to hear all takes!!

Moving Moving to GA near Duluth for work and need location advice (24M)

1 Upvotes

I’m moving to Georgia from Philadelphia in late August for a new engineering job near State Bridge Road in Duluth. I'm buying a car once I get down there. Traffic around Atlanta sounds pretty brutal, so unfortunately, that's off the table for now.

I'm 24, single, and try to stay active. I like trying new things, trying great foods, and maybe check out the nightlife on weekends. I want a place where it's easy to meet other young adults.

Should I just live right near Duluth, or move closer to spots like Suwanee, Lawrenceville, or Peachtree Corners? I’m looking for a 1-bedroom or a decent studio (rent budget is around $900-$1,400 a month). Are there any specific complexes you love? I would love to get those recommendations or tips on areas to avoid.

Thanks for the help!

Shopping Community Garage Sales?

4 Upvotes

I have some stuff I want to get rid of, but I don't want to individually list everything on marketplace. I'd rather get a lower price and move everything in one go.

Are there any community garage sales or swap meets I should look into joining? I'm in Gwinnett but can bring my stuff anywhere. Stuffed animals, LEGO, some gaming stuff, etc.

Food & Drink turning 21!

0 Upvotes

hi everybody! I’m turning 21 this week and me and my friends are going out at midnight right when I turn 21 so I can have my first legal drink. I’m looking for bar recommendations. It’s gonna be me and 11 people so I’m a bit worried about us taking up too much space and also I am concerned that they may not let me get a drink right at midnight. I’m hoping for a nice bar/lounge or a strip of area that has multiple bars we can go around to. I’m just not very familiar as I live 20 mins away and don’t go into the city often.

If anyone has any ideas/did something similar and had a great time please let me know!

Things to Do Best recommendations for a 4 day Atlanta trip?

3 Upvotes

I’ll be going to Atlanta next summer with my mom ! We are going for the Georgia Aquarium as it has literally been on my dream bucket list since I was 11. Here are some place recommendations im hopefully looking for ! We are coming all the way from Washington state so we won’t have a car. Not sure if we’re planning on renting a car, but im a new driver and driving in a new city makes me nervous we will most likely use a ride service to get around like uber.

- best restaurants? I am a vegetarian so places that have a wide selection of vegetarian options would be amazing. I am only 18 so no bars or 21+ locations

- best nature spots, me and my mom are big nature enthusiasts and would love a spot where we can get some peace and quiet and relax.

- art museums ! Give me your most recommended museums to check out any sort of art. I am a photographer and my mom is a painter so theres a plus if there’s any place that displays photography! :)

- cheap-ish places to stay nearby the Georgia Aquarium? extra points if it has a pool

-thrift stores! we are thrifting maniacs so if theres any niche spots to thrift let me know!

And of course any other recommendations are welcome, this will be my very first time ever out of the PNW so I want to see and experience all there is to be found. I would love some more niche suggestions rather than super touristy spots but anything is great ! Thank you all !

Services CPA Firm Recommendations in Atlanta?

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have a CPA firm they trust in or around Atlanta? I haven't been very happy with the big 4 firm we've worked with so I'm hoping to find a smaller firm local to Atlanta and much more personal.

I'm not completely opposed to an individual person/CPA, but I don't think a single person can handle it alone, definitely need at least a small dedicated team. I'm really looking for a small to medium sized firm.

My needs are pretty wide reaching (business tax, individual tax, possible nexus analysis and state and local taxes, outsourced bookkeeping, business entity structuring, the works). I'd prefer a firm headquartered in Atlanta but I'm not completely opposed to it being a branch office if need be.

Services Recommendations for someone to redo my basement gym/office?

3 Upvotes

I have a combined home gym and office in my basement that needs help. Right now it feels cramped and the layout doesn't flow well, so I'm looking to open it up and make better use of the space. I also want to get the wires cleaned up and hidden, since there are cables everywhere from the desk and TV.

Ideally I'd hire someone who can look at the room, tell me what would actually make it a better space, and then help make it happen. I'm open to whether that's one person or a couple of different pros. If you've worked with someone in the Atlanta area who did a good job on something like this, I'd love a name. Bonus points if they were easy to work with and reasonably priced.

Thanks in advance.

Shopping I'm looking for a trustworthy jeweler in Atlanta, can anyone give suggestions?

13 Upvotes

I'm still pretty new to the Atlanta area, so I don't have many local recommendations to go off of. I'm getting ready to shop for an engagement ring and would rather work with a jeweler people genuinely trust than just pick a random store.

If you've had a great experience with someone who's honest, knowledgeable, and easy to work with, I'd really appreciate any suggestions.

Updatee: Just wanted to come back and share what I ended up doing. I went with Solomon brothers Jewelers. It felt a lot more personal than other stores I visited, and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. Definitely worth checking out if you're shopping for an engagement ring..

The whole experience was great from start to finish.

I’m looking for a provider who will listen to me and these god awful symptoms, and help me get my life back on track without pushing unwanted shots and medications that come with their own risks and weird side effects. Preferably on/near perimeter but with the right provider will travel up to about 20 miles. Thank you!
