    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!

    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.

    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!! 😁🤤

    Great venue with a great staff who sincerely care about their customers. They were extremely helpful to me planning my event by laying out all the available options and costs which made my job much easier. Erin, the agent I worked with, gave quick and consistent communication and provided clarity to all of the questions I had regarding my event. I recommend this venue as they were very accommodating to me and helped me plan almost every aspect of my event with a single phone call.

    Thanks for a wonderful experience celebrating Caitlin’s graduation with her UGA APDi friends and family. Couldn’t be any happier with our experience. Seamless from start to finish. Thank you.

    We have hosted our company holiday party at livewire two years in a row and it couldn't be a more perfect location! The staff are courteous, the space is excellent and easily adaptable for whatever we needed, and the organizers couldn't have made the planning process easier. Erika and Erin are rockstars and were incredibly prompt with planning details (even when I wasn't) and were incredibly accomodating. We will definitly be coming back to Livewire for future events!

    My company booked Live Wire for a Tailgate to entertain a group of business partners prior to the Georgia Game. Erika was easy to work with, and helped us get everything in place for a great event. The space is larger than the photos show, and the staff/service was fantastic. Would book them again!

    Our experience hosting our company’s Christmas party at Live Wire was exceptional from start to finish. The planning process was incredibly smooth and stress-free, thanks to the attentive and accommodating staff who went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The night itself was an absolute blast! The venue’s ambiance was festive and the space was perfect for our large group. Our team had an incredible time, and the memories created will be cherished. Highly recommended for anyone planning a memorable and enjoyable event!

    We chose Live Wire Athens for our wedding reception because of its location, aesthetic, and positive reviews from previous weddings. The staff was responsive and provided helpful recommendations for additional vendors. Erin and co. were fast to communicate and respond to our questions and helped us coordinate and plan from across the country. We loved the space (before and after the remodel) and the way it reflected our personal style. Folks loved the customized marquee sign, as well. The lush greenery outside was gorgeous for our early November reception. Many thanks to Erin and her staff for making our day magical; Go Dawgs!

    I hosted a songwriter night here, the staff was incredibly nice and helpful to me and my other writing buddies and made sure we had everything we needed and more!

  • 5/5 Cameron N. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best venues in Athens, in all regards. Sound, lights, staff, drinks, hospitality, everything is top-notch. Could not recommend a better venue for live music or events in town. Highly recommended.

    Absolutely love this event space. The staff are friendly and they make event planning easy. Live Wire is locally owned too which makes all the difference. Great experience.

    Live Wire Athens are true pros. Pre-planning, load in, live production and post strike was smooth and effortless from my point of view. This was my first time working with them and certain it will not be my last! Daniel and his crew were absolutely top notch! Richard Gladson Founder & Principal - RG Group Events Athens, Ga

    Pros: - Incredibly helpful and friendly staff - Great walk-in fridge for catering -Excellent bar service. We did a science lecture for the university here and they offered free test-tube shots if attendees told them a neat science fact to the bar tender. - Constant communication in planning process -Knowledgeable and friendly A/V team -Clean Cons: - Fast turnarounds for payment due dates (granted we planned our event only two months out)

    We couldn't think of a better place to have our wedding. Different vibe than your typical venue, and definitely helped show our friends and family our personality. Erin was super responsive and so helpful during this time, willing to accommodate anything we had in mind if it was possible. Thank you for making this time period so easy for us!
