Known for being the mastermind behind many of Atlanta’s most prestigious and glamorous events, Tony Conway has been a force to be reckoned with in the events industry for over 3 decades. In 1997, after 20 years in the luxury hotel industry he formed Legendary Events, an award-winning full-service special events company.

Legendary’s expertise in event planning, catering, floral decor and design, has earned the team a stellar reputation and ensured the company is a trusted choice for major events including those honoring President Barack Obama, President George W Bush and President Bill Clinton, plus internationally renowned names such as Tyler Perry, Sir Elton John and Oprah Winfrey, to name just a few.

Tony was recently featured as the event planning expert on two popular TV shows, The Steve Harvey Show where he discussed the design and execution of Steve’s daughter Karli’s luxurious wedding and the hour long prime time TV special – ‘Too Darn Hot’ on the OWN network.

The OWN show gave viewers an exclusive behind the scenes look at how Tony and the team plan the annual star-studded Hollywood party thrown by Tyler Perry to celebrate his TV production collaboration with Oprah.

In 2013 Tony opened The Estate, a stunning southern mansion, the first of two premier special event venues owned and operated by Legendary Events, based in Buckhead, Atlanta. In 2015 he opened his second, Flourish, which by contrast is a stylish and splendid modern gem.

Recognizing the importance of supporting the local community, Legendary Events has made contributions in excess of $12 million dollars to non-profit organizations and Conway has served on the boards of The Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Alliance Theatre, Leadership Atlanta, Murphy-Harpst Children’s Center, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, The Atlanta Community Food Bank, Senior Citizens Services, Central Atlanta Progress, UNICEF and SEARCH.

For his continual efforts Tony has been inducted into the Event Solutions Hall of Fame, awarded “The Special Event – Lifetime Achievement Award” a coveted 11Alive Community Service Award and a Georgia Entertainment Gala Highlight Award. All of the hard earned accolades are in celebration of his indelible imprint on the industry
