Read what guests and musicians are saying about their experience at The Velvet Note:

(We) had GREAT time at The Velvet Note last night. The entertainment was very good and the staff was courteous and professional. Tamara was a perfect and very accommodating host. I’ll be telling people visit this unique gem in Alpharetta and will be back myself. In this intimate 40-seat venue there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The VIP sofa is quite comfy. The short ribs were to die for.”
— Chrystal Lord Stachura

This venue is absolutely fantastic. It is a performer’s dream come true; classy atmosphere, listening audience, comfortable and relaxed…not stuffy. And the best part is its host, Tamara, who sets the tone for each evening, like we’re all there, friends and gathering for a common purpose – digging deep into the music.”
