Robert Pope
The Man Behind It All

Built on Hospitality, Driven by Your Vision.

Dedicaters Inc, the parent company of Inviting Events, was formed in 1991 by Robert Pope. Prior to founding Inviting Events, Robert had been a manager at several 5-star hotels and restaurants throughout the Atlanta area.

Dedicaters Inc initially operated as a catering company and opened its first event hall in 2001. Shortly after, a second facility was opened in 2004. The two facilities were later merged and became known as Inviting Events.

Our event hall has served the area consistently for the past 18 years. From local residents to high-profile celebrities, we have been and will continue to be one of the premier event destinations in the Atlanta metro area.
