The moment you walk through our doors, you're surrounded by authentic exposed brick walls that have witnessed over a century of stories and are now ready to frame yours. At Ambient + Studio, we've transformed a 1910 cotton factory into Atlanta's most distinctive wedding venue, where original industrial character meets carefully chosen modern touches. Every detail, from the massive factory windows flooding our hardwood floors with natural light to the contemporary climate control keeping your guests comfortable, creates the perfect balance of raw authenticity and refined elegance.
An industrial wedding venue in Atlanta with exposed brick and modern touches offers a historic cotton factory setting with authentic brick walls, soaring ceilings, and natural light, paired with updated amenities like climate control, Wi-Fi, and a modern kitchen. The versatile space blends raw industrial character with refined comfort, creating a unique backdrop for weddings of all sizes.
Why Industrial Venues Create Memorable Weddings
Industrial wedding venues offer something no traditional ballroom can: authentic character that tells a story before you even walk down the aisle. The raw beauty of exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and original architectural details creates a backdrop that's both dramatic and intimate. Unlike cookie-cutter spaces, industrial venues have soul built into their bones, giving your celebration a unique personality that reflects the genuine, unpretentious love you're celebrating.
Exposed Brick Walls That Tell Your Story
Our Ambient + Studio original exposed brick walls showcase 84 years of cotton production history while creating the perfect backdrop for your vows. These aren't decorative additions; they're authentic 1910 factory walls that have weathered beautifully into the warm, textured canvas your photographer will love.
Stage 1 features these stunning exposed brick walls throughout its 10,000 square feet, while Stage 3 adds exposed and painted brick accents for variety. The brick provides natural warmth that contrasts beautifully with modern touches like our climate control system and contemporary lighting.
Modern Touches That Enhance Industrial Beauty
We've carefully added contemporary amenities without compromising the raw aesthetic:
Wi-Fi and HVAC throughout all event spaces
Modern kitchen with refrigerators, ovens, and microwaves for your caterer
Built-in effects lighting with RGB spectrum capabilities in Stage 4
Audio visual systems available for smooth ceremony and reception transitions
The hardwood floors throughout Stage 1 have been restored to perfection, giving you factory authenticity with a polished finish that works beautifully for formal celebrations. Stage 4 showcases white brick walls that brighten the space while maintaining industrial character.
Industrial Space That Adapts to Your Vision
The 25,000 square feet gives you room to dream big across multiple stages. Stage 1 spans 10,000 square feet with 15-foot ceilings and massive factory windows that bathe your ceremony in natural light. You can host your ceremony and reception in the same space, with our crew handling the transition while you celebrate.
For additional space, Stage 3 offers 2,000 square feet with 11-foot ceilings and medium factory windows, perfect for cocktail hours. Stage 4 provides 2,800 square feet with skylights and a corner cove cyc wall for dramatic photo opportunities.
