How to Fête in Southwest Gwinnett
Timeless elegance awaits you at The Metropolitan Club at 5895 Windward Parkway in Alpharetta. With antique accents and a cozy atmosphere, the venue feels more like a beloved family home than an event space.
For 20 years, original owner Lee Chadwick carefully curated the decor, imparting a European flair to the venue. From stunning bronze sculptures to a charming fireplace, every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
Today, there is no visible trace of its past as a call center. Chadwick transformed it into an upscale event space that exudes character and sophistication.
With its soaring ceilings and welcoming ambiance, The Metropolitan Club is the perfect milieu for a wide range of occasions. It can be an intimate dinner for a party of 50 or a grand gala for 800 invitees; this adaptable space can be just what you want and need.
Endless possibilities
Sunil Reddy is the young entrepreneur with a passion for hospitality who has turned The Metropolitan Club into a family-owned-and-operated business since he took the helm in early 2024. For the past year, he’s poured his heart into making The Metropolitan Club run like a fine-tuned machine and he’s proven himself a force to be reckoned with.
“I’m having a blast. This is challenging for me, but it’s a good challenge. I’m definitely the product of good circumstances, great parents, great schooling. I pitched it to my dad and after due diligence we said, ‘Alright, let’s do it,’” Reddy said. “I understand that not every 23 year old has the opportunity to get a business.”
With a spacious ballroom, a pre-function cocktail area and a courtyard for outdoor ceremonies or cocktails, The Metropolitan Club has it all. Abundant parking is a bonus. With over 500 spots available, your guests will have no trouble finding a spot.
Chef driven menus
According to Reddy, one of the highlights of his banquet facility is its exceptional cuisine producing custom flavors. Led by the talented Chef Maro, the culinary team creates mouthwatering dishes that cater to every palate.
From classic filet mignon and succulent chicken Milanese to adventurous options like roasted pig and alligator, the menu is as diverse as it is delicious. And don’t forget about the delectable hors d’oeuvres — the Brie with black pepper and honey is a must-try!

The Metropolitan team is committed to making each event a success because they believe every event reflects on them. They offer personalized service, from helping you select the perfect menu to ensuring every detail is flawlessly executed.
