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.

Outside catering policies vary significantly among Atlanta small venues, so this is a crucial conversation to have during site visits. Some venues—particularly independent lofts in Midtown or converted warehouses in Inman Park—allow outside catering, while others require you to use an approved vendor or in-house team. Many venues that permit outside catering impose minimum spend requirements, kitchen access fees, or staffing charges.
Before booking, ask directly about:
- Whether outside catering is permitted and under what conditions
- Any minimum spend requirements if you bring your own caterer
- Kitchen facilities, prep space, and equipment access
- Staffing or service charge add-ons
Atlanta's warm climate means outdoor reception setups are popular, which can sometimes bypass strict kitchen-access restrictions. Discussing these details upfront ensures your catering budget aligns with your venue choice.
Policies vary widely depending on the venue. Many small venues offer flexible catering options, allowing you to bring an outside caterer or your own alcohol (BYOB), while others require you to use their preferred vendors or in-house catering.
Here's what to clarify when you're comparing small venues:
- Ask about BYOB policies—some venues permit outside alcohol with a corkage fee, while others prohibit it entirely
- Inquire whether you can hire your own caterer or if the venue requires their preferred partner
- Understand any minimum spend requirements, which typically range from $2,000–$8,000, according to the Zola Wedding Cost Index across small venues on the market
- Check if catering minimums are separate from or included in the venue rental fee
Small venues tend to be more flexible than large ones since they have fewer vendors to manage. However, some smaller spaces—especially restaurants or bars—may have stricter policies to protect their service standards. Always request these details in writing before booking to avoid surprises closer to your date.
