The Engine Room is a full-service historic wedding venue located in Monroe, Georgia as part of the Monroe Cotton Mills. The Mills housed the engines at the mill machinery for more than 90 years. The historic building has been a part of Monroe’s history since 1895 and has been restored and now serves as a venue to host wedding ceremonies and receptions, as well as engagement parties and bridal showers. Many of the original elements to the space still remain, including the beautiful hardwood floors, exposed brick walls with weathered paint, heart of pine columns, iron bars on some of the windows, and original sliding fire doors. This historic and charming venue provides breathtaking photos and a unique location to say, "I do."

It backs up to the historic brick mill building and accompanying towers, which provides a picturesque backdrop for photos.

The venue is fully accessible and climate-controlled, and offers ample parking. There is a large get-ready room available for members of the wedding party to prepare on-site.

We got married at The Engine Room yesterday and it was more amazing than I could have ever imagined! Kim McKinney with Daffodil Design created the most STUNNING floral arrangements and decorations for us!!! I knew after the first time I talked with Kim that we wanted The Engine Room for our wedding and have her as our designer! All of our guests (and we) had an incredible night!!!!!

The Engine Room was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment my husband and I took our first tour, we knew we wanted to get married here. It is an absolutely beautiful space full of rustic/industrial southern charm. Adding the chandeliers and drapery to the room added such a pretty, romantic elegance that was perfect for our big day. The bride's suite and groom's suite are wonderful and a great place for the wedding party to hang out and get ready before the wedding. The caterer's kitchen is large and was a great space for our caterer. We loved having our cocktail hour on the outdoor patio. We got married in November 2017 and the weather was just perfect. We also had our bar setup on the patio so guests were able to enjoy it throughout the evening. The parking lot at the venue is large which was such a bonus. We provided a trolley service for our guests from the hotel but also had many guests driving so the parking lot was a big help.

Working with Michelle was such a great experience! She is professional and easy to get along with. She worked closely with us throughout the planning process to ensure we had everything we needed to make the day perfect and it truly was perfect! We were so thankful to have her be a part of our special day. Everything about our wedding at The Engine Room was incredible and I would highly recommend this amazing venue to any couple getting married.

Beautiful!

Truly the wedding venue of our DREAMS! We are so thankful we got to have our special day at The Engine Room. It is so uniquely beautiful, well kept and very clean! Michelle was so helpful through the entire planning process and went above and beyond to make our day perfect! We can't thank The Engine Room enough for all the memories we made on our wedding day! 10/10 will be recommending this venue to everyone we know!

The Engine Room is the best hidden, or not so hidden gem convenient to both Athens and Atlanta. I have been in the wedding industry for well over 8 years and when it came time to plan my own wedding I knew immediately where I wanted to have my wedding. From a vendors perspective, TER has thought of everything from providing many carts for load in, ladders of all sizes, a storage area for empty boxes, an immaculately clean kitchen, removable/changeable light fixtures and a wonderful staff. From a brides perspective the space is basically a blank slate to create any style wedding she wishes. TER provides set up of tables and chairs as part of your rental fee and offers some great add on services like cafe lighting, draping and chandeliers. Most venues have great bridal suites but lack a nice space for the groom and his groomsmen. TER has both a beautiful bridal suite and an entire building for the men! The staff is amazing and so friendly and helpful. I cannot thank TER enough for providing such a wonderful space for my wedding as well as being a great venue partner for my clients.

Stunning venue!

The engine room was beautiful for our big day! It fit my industrial/factory aesthetic perfectly! It was the only venue my husband and I toured and we booked it the same night! Michelle was amazing to work with and was so nice. The rentals they offer made our day so elegant and perfect for what I wanted. I loved everything was inside so rain was not going to be a problem! We had our “coffee hour” out on the patio and it was stunning!

The Engine Room was the perfect venue for our reception! It is such a beautiful and unique space! All of our guests absolutely loved the venue, as did our vendors who complimented it repeatedly! Michelle was wonderful to work with and helped us develop a layout that included a stage through The Engine Room for our band and perfect lighting. All of her suggestions were so helpful in making decisions. My now-husband and all of the groomsmen loved getting to hang out in the groom's suite, and my hairstylists appreciated the lighting and mirror space in the bridal suite. Michelle was very flexible in helping us meet our needs for the venue based on the timeline, and everything was exactly as discussed. We were so impressed by the space and everyone we worked with, and absolutely love our photos with The Engine Room as the backdrop. It was perfect for us!

Wedding Day Location

I could not have picked a better place to have my wedding. Kim McKinney and the rest of the staff were amazing! The process was so easy and it reduced a lot of the wedding day stress. I would HIGHLY recommend that others consider this venue for their events.
