We had the most flawless, amazing, magical event with Live Wire. From the day we first inquired to our follow-up emails, the staff at Live Wire was amazing. We hosted a sorority graduation event for 40 families with 200 people gathered for both dining and live music. Even though Live Wire does not provide food, they do allow catering and were super helpful, coordinating with Saucehouse to make dinner fabulous. The space itself is cool, roomy and has both inside and outside areas that worked perfectly for our dining needs and live music. The staff was amazing. They made sure the band and tech were all covered and made the transition from dinner to dancing seamless. Erin and Erika were our contacts and they simply performed without fail. From our first inquiry to our final email, they were amazing. There were no hidden fees or surprise charges, and they have a digital platform for easy payment and communication. I can not say enough about this event space and the Live Wire staff. Thank you for making this night memorable. What a way to send these graduates off!
Response from vendor•Feb 26, 2025Tina- This review truly warms our hearts! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Live Wire Athens.

We're thrilled that you found our team to be amazing throughout the entire process, from your initial inquiry to the final follow-up. Our staff are truly dedicated (especially Erika) to providing exceptional service, and we're delighted they were able to assist you every step of the way. It's fantastic to hear that the venue worked perfectly for your needs. We're also glad that our team was able to ensure a seamless transition from dinner to dancing, taking care of all the details for your band and tech. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing and easy communication, so we're happy that our digital platform made things convenient for you. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Live Wire Athens to celebrate your graduates. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors! -Erin for the Robertson Family and Live Wire Athens Staff
