History Originally built in 1954, the Fox Appliance store was formerly a warehouse and showroom. In 2009, the building was transformed into a bar and nightclub then later a music venue. In 2014, the Live Wire Athens company purchased the building and soon after decided to establish itself as a contemporary industrial-style event venue in the downtown Athens area.

With all the curveballs that COVID threw, Live Wire was excellent working and communicating with us until the rehearsal day was a great success. Erin's attention to detail ensures you will have all the points covered for your event. The venue was perfect and we received compliments from our friends/family on it.

We've booked our wedding and reception here
Erin and the Robertson family have been incredibly hospitable and super helpful during our communications. We live in Detroit but will be getting married in Athens next October and Erin has taken such good care of us virtually. She gave us a virtual tour and has been super responsive and informative during the entire booking process. The venue is super cute and a good price for being in the heart of downtown Athens. We were having trouble finding a place that would let our two lab pups participate in the ceremony and Live Wire has been incredibly accommodating and welcoming - exactly what we were looking for! We are so looking forward to getting married here!

I developed a passion for helping people celebrate moments and milestones in life during my 15 years in Event Planning.
I have an extensive background in coordinating logistical details for social events, fundraisers, conferences, and speaking engagements for up to 2,000 people at locations throughout the U.S.
Having worked with Live Wire Athens through a variety of events, including weddings, concerts, festivals, and corporate parties, we have seen first hand their attention to detail and their willingness to put the customer first. The Robertson family goes above and beyond, not only for their clients, but treats all vendors and employees with respect and gratitude. In the 4 years we have worked with Live Wire Athens we have only had positive experiences. We highly recommend the venue and those who run it, for any of your event needs!
An awesome venue with amazing hospitable owners. A very unique location close to the heart of downtown Athens. Plenty of room for your guests in addition to a world class sized patio and deck outside.
Live Wire is a wonderful space for all types of events! It's amazing downtown location can't be beat, especially when you see their outdoor space. They also have great existing equipment for live music!
