Company History

Tony Conway, CMP, built an international reputation in catering and special events, comprising of over a decade of experience, with Ritz Carlton, Marriott and Stouffer Hotels before challenging his own destiny and enthusiasm to form
A Legendary Event in 1997.

Ambition and commitment to be “better than anyone else” is reflected in the company’s name and if skyrocketing growth and rave reviews from clients are any indication, the company is doing just that. The business made the “approved list of caterers” in every important event venue in Atlanta, from the Georgia Freight Depot to Fernbank Museum to Atlanta Botanical Garden. 

Never taking favor for granted and always knowing you are only as good as your last event, through diligence and hard work, A Legendary Event has gained confidence and recommendations from the chairs of the city’s most prestigious charity balls and social events. 

Equally important, A Legendary Event has gained a growing following from Atlanta’s ever evolving business community.

“When you call on a caterer or special events firm, the only thing you are buying is a promise.  Because of the experience in the industry and proven commitment to quality, A Legendary Event’s clients are soon convinced they can trust us to deliver as promised,” said Conway.



Conway believes in partnering with clients. “Knowing what questions to ask, we are able to guide our clients through a difficult maze of decisions, options, and choices. “It is our goal to surprise and delight even the most savvy client,” continued Conway. “Knowing expectations is key to building lasting relationships in this industry.” A Legendary Event carries this belief of partnering to their vendors as well and is known for its expectations of only the finest quality products.

Conway and his associates are actively involved in their profession’s national and international organizations such as Meeting Professionals International, the National Association of Catering Executives and the International Special Events Society.  Conway holds the designation as Certified Meeting Professional and has won numerous industry awards and recognition for his work.

All of which proves that the right combination of people, energy and commitment really does create “Something To Talk About” – the company’s by-line used with confidence. Each event must answer the question: Is this legendary? The willingness to ensure that the answer is always yes has kept people in the Southeast talking about this company for more than 10 years – just the positive buzz intended!
