Lofts are some of the most flexible spaces for events in any city. They range in size from highly intimate spaces for photography and other creative work to venues the size of a ballroom for weddings and other celebrations. Renting a loft is done by the hour, day, or week if your event is a conference or other multi-day session. The loft you choose will need to include other amenities as well. Think about free parking, WiFi, catering, staff to set up chairs, audio-visual equipment, and everything else you'll need to ensure your event goes off without a hitch!
Industrial lofts maintain the gritty character of former factories that have become event spaces. As Atlanta transformed from a manufacturing hub to a services city, warehouses have been repurposed over time. They've become flex spaces, storage spaces, creative coworking buildings, and loft venues for weddings,
parties, and other special events. Many of these industrial loft venues are not just beautiful spaces full of potential but historic venues as well. Some go back over a century as a room in a former department store or warehouse.
An industrial loft, with its brick walls and urban character, is a beautiful place to hold a wedding. Especially industrial lofts with skyline views of the city and access to the rooftop for dancing and cocktails on a cool evening. Downtown venues like Upstairs Atlanta will give you fantastic views without skipping on the romance. With space for up to 125 seated guests (or 200 cocktail-style), it's a unique wedding venue that even includes a covered patio for outdoor celebrations!
Rustic weddings are one of the most popular ways to celebrate a new marriage. Rustic venues take guests back to simpler times where the decor includes wood or brick walls, high ceilings with exposed beams, acres of farmland, and decorations to match. Loft spaces are so flexible that they can be transformed into a rustic venue with the right interior design touches. Making them ideal for weddings where you want to have a theme for guests to enjoy!
You'll find rustic loft spaces throughout the city, including downtown in a former warehouse with renovated lofts. While the interior has all of the modern amenities you need, the rustic or industrial look remains intact. For an even more authentic rustic wedding, check out lofts in the countryside. Barn loft weddings can be held on working farms or former farms that have become event spaces.
