Riverside EpiCenter can host a 16-person board meeting, a 240-guest banquet, a 592-seat conference session or a tournament with bleachers for 600, all under one roof. The 113,000-square-foot building stands in Mableton, Georgia, just off Interstate 20 on the west side of Atlanta, and offers 15 configurable spaces backed by in-house catering and production teams.
Seminars and company events
The Bronner Theatre is the main room for general sessions, award shows and product presentations. It has 592 seats, a 38 by 44 foot stage and professional audio and video. For smaller groups, the Board Room seats 16 around one table, with built-in conferencing equipment for hybrid meetings. The Lower Conference Atrium sits next to the conference rooms and works for registration desks and exhibitor tables, while the Upper Conference Atrium serves as a pre-function area on the upper level. Team-building options are on site: private bowling lanes with food and drinks served lane-side, an arcade and a climbing wall with staff beside every climber. A broadcast-ready studio with engineering support can be booked by the hour for recordings or live streams.
Weddings and receptions
The venue lists weddings among its main event types. The Grand Ballroom, with chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows, seats 240 for a banquet. A retractable wall splits it into the Nile Ballroom, 2,633 square feet for 150 guests, and the Jordan Ballroom, 1,805 square feet for 80. Co-Motion, a 1,702-square-foot room for receptions of up to 80, comes with audio, video and decor and can be booked by the hour. Couples may bring their own DJ with standard DJ equipment, while house technicians run all venue systems.
Rooms and capacities
The largest volume is the Sportshall, 10,142 square feet with bleachers for 600, used for tournaments, conventions and large gatherings. Outdoors, a paved lot and grass areas take festivals, markets, car shows and food trucks. Round tables of 72 inches seat up to 10 guests and 60-inch rounds seat up to 8. A custom stage reduces the guest count of a room.
Catering
Food and beverage are handled in-house. A culinary services coordinator plans menus, tastings, beverage packages and dietary needs, and outside caterers are not allowed unless an exception is approved in advance. The three ballrooms carry food and beverage minimums. Alcohol can be served with prior approval, together with food service, the venue's licensed bartenders and the required security staff. Audio and visual services include LED video walls, projectors, wireless and lavalier microphones, lighting, uplighting and podiums. Outside AV companies are not permitted.
History and setting
The project was planned from 2002 by Bishop Dale C. Bronner and Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral, and the building opened in 2014. It was designed by Pieper O'Brien Herr Architects and combines event halls with fitness, entertainment and dining areas, including a food court where the Main Hall is located.
Getting there
The building is about 10 minutes by car from downtown Atlanta and about 15 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Parking is available on site, with electric vehicle chargers in the main lot. Dates are held in the order contracts are signed.
