Absolutely fell in love with this space! It is so large and is a pretty canvas to decorate to your taste with florals etc or can leave alone and still be beautiful. I especially loved how big it was so we didn’t need to flip any rooms. Audrey was great and easy to communicate with on questions with me and the vendors. The day of staff was super on top of everything and great to work with. We used the onsite catering which was so delicious!

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.

10/10 the most amazing venue. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this space and their team! 42West Entertainment Group was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the first point of contact, their communication was friendly, quick and efficient. The quality of their work and value they provided was amazing - and having their decor and design expertise was budget-friendly! The team is very knowledgable and decorated the space beautifully. Everything was absolutely perfect. Having Lauren and Halley there on our wedding day was so reassuring - they were incredibly helpful and, given minimal direction from us, made our wedding day beautiful and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to bring our vision to life. 42West is truly a dream team venue!
