Visitors to Alpharetta

“We have been to concerts, fishing, beaches, BBQs, ride bicycles (didn’t do that in CO), walk several times a day and love the drives in the areas surrounding us….The most interesting experiences have been with meeting the natives, and there have been quite a few.  They love their community and are thrilled when others love their community just as much.  I always like to tell them ‘Thanks for taking good care of the place until we could get here.’”

"We went to the concert [at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park] and it was awesome. But, I just wanted to tell you your town is beautiful and everyone was so nice. We stayed at the Hyatt suites and everything was wonderful. We could not have asked for a more peaceful or wonderful trip. The amphitheater is one of the most wonderful places that I have ever seen a concert. Hat's off to you and your community."

I was blown away by all the goodies!  You read me the prize list, but to actually get all the prizes was so exciting!  My husband is a total 'foodie' also, so he's just as excited as I am!  Our anniversary is in June, so this will be the perfect anniversary weekend!  Thanks again to you and all the sponsors!  We can't wait to experience 'awesome Alpharetta'.”

"I wanted to thank you all personally for a wonderful experience this week-end and the hard work you have put into making this a special event for all the family. The smile on our 6 year-old son’s face (Matteo) after each finish line was everything we hoped for and signed up for!  He was not a finalist or winner but he was a great sport and loved participating.  He (and the rest of us) are motivated to train for the next triathlon (kids and adults).  We spent the night in Alpharetta and got to drive the fast cars at Andretti (courtesy of the contest!) and then ate at Joe’s Crab Shack. Great fun!  We’ll be back to visit Alpharetta soon. Thanks again!!!"

“Each year, the Alpharetta Convention & Visitors Bureau has been instrumental in contacting Alpharetta hotels for Atlanta Figure Skating Club competitions held at The Cooler.  The ACVB has provided us with maps, welcome bags, restaurant contacts and insight to businesses in Alpharetta that would support our competitions.  We have appreciated the friendly, helpful relationship we have established with the ACVB.”

That was a wonderful whirlwind tour of Alpharetta.  Thank you so much for the tremendous hospitality.  I had such a good time, especially at the mall.  I know everyone felt so welcomed in Alpharetta; it was an enjoyable, fast-paced and memorable day.  Thank you!
