Erin, Erika and Algy (and the rest of the Live Wire Athens team) were amazing to work with! We were so excited to book our wedding at Live Wire. We had multiple points of contact with a staff that really care about your comfort and experience. They are amazing event professionals and helped to make sure we made choices to both make us happy and make our event run smoothly. We love this venue and so did all of our wedding guests!!

I recently attended a small networking event at Live Wire Athens, and I was impressed with the venue. It's a truly beautiful space, modern yet warm, with great lighting and a clean, well-maintained environment that made the event feel inviting and professional. The layout worked well for mingling, with plenty of room to move around without it ever feeling cramped. What really stood out to me was the staff. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly friendly and attentive. They made sure the event ran smoothly and were quick to help with any questions or needs. They care about creating a positive experience for guests. Overall, Live Wire Athens is an excellent spot for both intimate and larger gatherings. Iβd absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish, welcoming venue in the Athens area.

Live Wire is an A+++ event venue. From the staff, to the layout, it is really enjoyable and open. Shout out to Algy and Erika for making so much magic happen. The outside area had a fire pit and tables for guests to stand around and chit chat. It was a great experience, and if you ever have an event there, make sure to book your catering with BasKat Catering! They did such a great job!! ππ€€

I recently hired LiveWire for sound and lighting at an outdoor event downtown. I have 15 years of production experience & can be pretty picky when it comes to quality - LiveWire did not disappoint! Their crew arrived on time, handled everything efficiently, and made the entire process seamless. It was clear we were in the hands of experts who genuinely care about their work. If you're looking for a reliable, professional, and passionate lighting and sound rental company, look no further. Highly Recommend!

Beautiful venue for a wedding! We went the day before Halloween; so it was a tiny bit chilly but just perfect for fall. The venue is beautiful with plants and scenery. They did a good job hiding the roads on either side to help it feel more intimate. Their staff were also super friendly and the bartenders did a great job all night.

I attended a high school reunion at Live Wire. I want to start off by saying the event was very fun and enjoyable! All of the staff, except for one employee, was very kind, friendly and helpful. The space is clean, spacious and the drinks are great. Unfortunately, the male bartender that worked this event (July 12th) was one of the rudest, snarkiest, most sarcastic bartenders I have ever encountered! I am a local to downtown Athens, Ga and have been attending bars here for 10 years! I have NEVER had an issue with a bartender until this night! I completely stopped ordering drinks after my second one due to his very disrespectful attitude. I ordered my second drink from a female bartender, she asked if I wanted to start a tab, I replied no and she proceeded to swipe my card. The male bartender made my drink and asked for a name for my tab. I told him I had just told the young lady I did not want to start a tab and she swiped my card. He continued to tell me he needed a name for my tab and made the comment βthis is how we get paid.β I was concerned there was a mistake and did not want to be charged twice for my drink, considering to my knowledge the young lady had just swiped my card for it! Also considering I never gave anyone my name, and I never agreed to starting a tab! Instead of remaining professional and polite and EXPLAINING things to me, as I was genuinely just CONFUSED, he argued with me, caused a scene and proceeded to LAUGH at me and make comments with other guest right in front of my face! I felt mocked and completely disrespected. Absolutely ridiculous, unacceptable and very UNPROFESSIONAL. Please consider retraining this employee on customer service and how to treat a paying guest. I should never leave an event feeling the way I did that night.

We chose Live Wire for our wedding because it's family owned, affordable, and the staff was incredible to work with! Erin helped guide us through the process and was consistently responsive. The venue has a great relationship with different vendors around town, which made booking different services really easy! Every single staff member, including bartenders and sound crew, went above and beyond for us. I definitely recommend choosing Live Wire as a wedding venue!

We had our wedding reception at live wire, and they were amazing. We had the most perfect reception thanks to them and all of our wonderful vendors. We had lots of meetings before, they would respond to emails quickly, were so organized, and put on everything perfectly. Would highly recommend to anyone!

This was a great venue for our wedding! Erin, Erika and Algy all worked hard to ensure that it was an amazing time for everyone involved. (Tiki Tuesdays are also a great time)

My husband and I planned our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Live Wire Athens. Everyone we worked with was very professional and helped us plan an amazing evening! We were very impressed with the level of service we received and we highly recommend booking with Live Wire to host an event!
