We had the most flawless, amazing, magical event with Live Wire. From the day we first inquired to our follow-up emails, the staff at Live Wire was amazing. We hosted a sorority graduation event for 40 families with 200 people gathered for both dining and live music. Even though Live Wire does not provide food, they do allow catering and were super helpful, coordinating with Saucehouse to make dinner fabulous. The space itself is cool, roomy and has both inside and outside areas that worked perfectly for our dining needs and live music. The staff was amazing. They made sure the band and tech were all covered and made the transition from dinner to dancing seamless. Erin and Erika were our contacts and they simply performed without fail. From our first inquiry to our final email, they were amazing. There were no hidden fees or surprise charges, and they have a digital platform for easy payment and communication. I can not say enough about this event space and the Live Wire staff. Thank you for making this night memorable. What a way to send these graduates off!

We are a family-owned bakery based in Athens, GA, & serving the greater Northeast GA area. Whether you're after a classic white wedding cake or a trendy statement cake, our talented baker & decorator can create something that will awe you and your guests! Our team takes a hands-on approach with every client and will work closely with you to design a cake that matches your vision. With high-quality ingredients & time-tested recipes, your wedding cake will make an impression. We are proud to offer gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, vegan, and kosher options so that all of your guests can celebrate your wedding with a delightful treat.

I admit, I was a tad nervous at first because my wedding cake idea was unusual to say the least. I didn’t want a white cake. I wanted a cake that was decorated to look like a sunset in the Blue Ridge Mountains with fireflies and luna moths. Random & specific, but I wanted it. And boy did they deliver. Figuratively and literally. XD The cake was beautifully done. The baker even managed to find a way to make the fireflies and some of the starry sky fluoresce under blacklight and still be edible! It was amazing.

The Venue on Broad is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect spot for our wedding reception. Everything about the space is thoughtfully designed from the decked out bridal suite to the string lit patio space - it is just perfection. The best part of it might have been the staff. Summerlin and Mikayla were the absolute best to work with. They were super helpful and quick to answer all my questions leading up to our wedding day (there were a lot). And the food!! They were super accommodating to create a delicious custom menu for our wedding reception. Several people told us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Our entire reception was beautiful and ran ever so smoothly thanks to them and my wedding planner, Thailer Waterworth.

Working with Brittnye & Gardenia for my NYE wedding was truly a pleasure! Brittnye had her work cut out for her because I wasn't the girl who dreamed of her wedding or planned any detail before the event! During our first meeting, Brittnye asked me what I wanted as far as florals, and all I could tell her was what I absolutely DID NOT want! Eventually, while talking about what I didn't want, we were able to come up with a long list of what I DID. After a couple hours, a vision was formed and Brittnye went to work on what would become the most gorgeous wedding florals/design that I had ever seen. From our bouquets, to the table arrangements, candles lining the aisle, altar arrangements and fresh florals on our cake, Brittnye and Gardenia NAILED IT! My bouquet was truly one of the most gorgeous florals that I've ever seen and to this day I wish I had it preserved to enjoy every day! If you're looking for a florist/event designer for your wedding, do NOT hesitate to contact Gardenia! You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Brittnye & Gardenia, for making the dreams I didn't even know I had come true!

  • Serves Athens, GA

Wedding photographs should honor your relationship and highlight your unique connection. More than simple validation, they are a declaration that love knows no boundaries. So, it’s important to find a photographer who understands the full scope of your story, someone who sees both the broader significance and its personal meaning. And someone who captures it all through unforgettable photographs. When it comes to photography, it takes a non-traditional perspective to look beyond the obvious and capture the hidden bits of who you two really are.

Raven documented my wedding day with such care and clarity. In her pictures, I see the settings, people, and details, when it all happened. Lush greenery and orange leaves where my partner and I said our vows. My aunt smiling as she met my baby daughter. Hugs with guests after our ceremony. The flowers on my alternative style dress. Amazingly, she got many of these shots when the people in the photos did not realize it. They're not only a killer record of what happened that day. Her pictures are lovely and naturalistic with vibrant colors. Killer wedding day coverage is not the only thing you get with Raven. She is great to work with throughout the process, always warm, well-organized and punctual.
