How many guests does Live Wire Athens hold?

Published figures put Live Wire Athens at about 250 seated and 330 standing. Tell us your guest count when you check your date and we will size the sound and lighting to the room.

Can you cover the ceremony and reception in different spaces at Live Wire Athens?

Yes. The spaces at Live Wire Athens include Main room, garden courtyard, stages. Ceremony sound is its own setup, so we can run the ceremony in one space and the reception in another.

Can you cover the ceremony as well as the reception?

Yes. Ceremony sound is its own setup rather than a speaker borrowed from the reception rig, and a lapel mic is included for your officiant.

Do you bring a photo booth to Live Wire Athens?

Yes. One team handles the DJ, the photo booth and the uplighting on one contract, so there is one load-in and one point of contact instead of three vendors coordinating with each other.

Live Wire Athens wedding venue

Live Wire is a former warehouse in the northwest corner of downtown with exposed brick, skylights and concert stages, plus an open-air garden courtyard.

It is a music venue first, with its own house sound and lighting. We have played it, and we will plan with the venue team on what to use from their rig and what we bring.
