Ambient+Studio 

4.0

Atlanta, GA
  • Up to 299 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $4,500

1910. That’s when this studio was built. That’s more than 100 years ago. Before the Titanic. Before World War I. Of course, when they built it they didn’t know it was a studio. They thought they’d built a factory for transforming raw cotton into fire-retardant fabrics. And they did just that for about 84 years. Next came a few years of hand-wringing and a few more of neglect and abandonment. In 2007, they finally turned it over to Jason Ivany. He set it back on track and transformed it into the daylight studio it was always meant to be just before the 100 year mark.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Offers full-service amenities
  • Raw space for complete customization
  • Private area for the wedding party

Venue considerations

  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • No in-house catering options
  • Dance floor not included
Overall, I love AmbientStudio and our experience was smooth and Stage 1 is just beautiful. I'd give a solid 4.5 for the overall experience. The team handled our room flip (ceremony to reception) flawlessly and from my experience the team was all easy to communicate with and handled everything well on the day-of. They were helpful and reasonable with accommodating our needs. One definite area for improvement in our experience would be that we smelled weed both during our rehearsal and our reception. When it's not coming from our guests, that's odd and should not be happening. I never personally laid eyes on the person responsible for that smell, though some of my group did.

As a wedding photographer, I've always been a huge fan of the Swan House at the Atlanta History Center. The beautiful and historic architecture is unlike anything else, it's absolutely stunning! When I got engaged, I knew that choosing the perfect venue would be one of the most important decisions we would make for our wedding day, and choosing the Swan House was the easiest and best decision. Our coordinator from the Atlanta History Center, Steven, was so great to work with throughout the planning process, and our wedding day was absolutely perfect!
