Hallowedding at Live Wire!
Live Wire in Athens, GA was a great place to have our wedding! Everything was communicated well leading up to the event and throughout our day. We have had so many people tell us that it was the most fun and unique wedding they have ever been to. Thanks to all the staff for making it happen! See you at Wild Rumpus next year!
Wedding reception
Live Wire Athens was the perfect venue for our wedding reception . From the very beginning, their team was extremely informative and responsive, always getting back to us in a timely manner with any questions we had. The space itself is beautiful, with both indoor and outdoor areas that looked great for our reception. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire planning process and on the day of the wedding. They went above and beyond to ensure our special day was everything we dreamed of. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend Live Wire Athens to any couple looking to get married.
Best weddding venue in Athens!
Live Wire Athens was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was prompt, effective and friendly. The staff was so nice and welcoming, and all of our guests raved about how great the team was. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and we felt we got great value for the cost. Everything on our wedding day went flawlessly thanks to the hard work and attention to detail from the Live Wire team. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to have celebrated our special day at this wonderful venue.
Live Wire is the BEST place in Athens for an event
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!
