New Landmark Adds Excitement to I-75:
WM Events Unveils Headquarters Minutes from Atlanta Downtown and Airport
ATLANTA (Dec. 1, 2024) – Locals and visitors have a new landmark to behold on I-75 South just 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta with the opening of the WM Events headquarters in Hapeville, Ga.
Visible from I-75 and making a bold statement along the route to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the branded 13,000-sq.-ft. commercial building includes offices, warehousing, meeting/conference space, a floral department, future event space and more.
Located at 280 Mt. Zion Rd. Atlanta, Ga. 30354, the headquarters’ exterior reflects WM Events’ new brand identity, introduced earlier this year when the company reached its milestone 20th anniversary. Forest and vibrant green hues combine to form the logo, while playful, colorful confetti pieces add zest.
“Purchasing and renovating a commercial building was the next right step for WM Events,” said William Fogler, founder and principal of the full-service event house. “It was a two-year labor of love with many challenges along the way, but I learned a lot, and we grew as a team as we persevered through the experience. I am thrilled with what we have achieved.”
A Multifaceted Headquarters
Home to the WM Events office, the new headquarters includes enough space to comfortably house the current team of 25 and welcome another dozen or so in the future.
Visitors enter through the lobby, complete with a WM Events green sofa and Instagrammable suspended midcentury modern “Parrot” chairs. A spacious open-plan office is adjacent to several private offices, a conference room and guest work areas. A large kitchen with signature green cabinetry accommodates staff daily and offers possibilities for future on-site events.
Like a true design house, the building features a showroom where the company displays its range of inventory, such as linens, décor, furniture and lighting. The showroom allows both staff and clients to get hands-on with the elements used to create their event atmosphere – like a mood board brought to life.
And of course, space was set aside for hosting small to medium-size events. With the ability to connect to adjacent rooms, as well as two entry points, event space options are flexible enough to welcome 10 to 100 guests for workshops, meetings, receptions and more.
Warehousing It All
The back-of-house areas were strategically planned for efficiency. Within the massive warehouse, stocked with rows and rows of inventory, a charging wall ensures hundreds of specialty lighting fixtures are always ready to get an event glowing.
Known for its award-winning floral arrangements, WM Events now has a dedicated floral department. A giant built-in cooler provides holding space for flowers, arrangements made in advance, and storage for florals after events, allowing for better recycling and reuse in keeping with the company’s green theme!
The warehouse opens to two loading docks, making packing all the goodies into WM Events’ signature trucks a total breeze – or at least convenient for its expert operations team members.
For two decades, the Atlanta-based firm has provided sky-high standards and leveraged creative partnerships to plan, design and produce corporate events, weddings and social events, nonprofit fundraisers, meetings and conferences, tradeshows, festivals and more. With a diverse and multidisciplinary team, WM Events has focused on personalizing events to give its clients the experience of couture.
With the launch of its new building, the event house is dramatically expanding its capabilities, positioning itself for significant growth in staff and services.
