“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!”

“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.”
