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.

Wedding Ceremony + Reception
Live Wire Athens was our venue for our wedding. This place was a very good size for our list of 120-130 guest. The exposed brick and barn doors added a homey feel while still feeling formal enough. If in the summertime, there is a courtyard for the ceremony and an inside area for dancing, food and everything else. We were even able to have a fire pit and hot chocolate bar in the courtyard for our Winter Wonderland. They also have a parking space for a food truck and the most gorgeous string lights around! This family-owned business will work with you as best as the can to make your wedding day a dream.

I appreciate all Andrew's efforts, as well as, the staff. He was so accommodating and everything was perfect. We had a wonderful night celebrating with friends and family. There were several in attendance from the Athens area and they were definitely impressed with your venue.

Extreme satisfaction with Live Wire Athens (Casual wedding reception)
After 35 years, my high school sweetheart and I reunited and Live Wire Athens handled our reception. Our experience with them from start to finish was exceptional. After meeting Andrew upon our initial appointment, we knew this was our place. He handled everything with such professionalism, yet kept it at a relaxed level, which was exactly what we needed. He even brought things to our attention that we did not even think about...all to help make our event the best it could be. I recommend them highly, and would use their services again.
