About this venue

From elegant affairs to edgy celebrations, Athens Cotton Press is the perfect backdrop for your next event. Built in the early 1900s, this industrial space was once the heart of the Atlantic Compress Company's cotton press. After years of neglect, we've lovingly restored this historic landmark, transforming it into a stunning event venue. Our venue is truly a one stop shop providing catering and planning services by Epting Events, design services by our in-house floral director, Florals by Su-Lin, and our warehouse with a wide array of catering equipment, lighting and sound equipment, and a linen department. As a family-owned business, we treat every event as our own. When you choose Athens Cotton Press, you're not just renting a space; you're joining our family.
