“We recently hosted a UGA Miracle Family Day event at this venue, and I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience! The space itself is absolutely beautiful, bright, welcoming, and perfect for families. It created such a warm atmosphere for our Miracle kiddos and their families, and we received compliments all day long.
What truly set this venue apart, though, was the incredible staff. Every single person we interacted with was kind, attentive, and genuinely eager to help. They went above and beyond to make sure our event ran smoothly. At one point, we needed to rearrange part of the space to set up Santa’s area, and without hesitation, the staff jumped in and even helped us roll out a couch for Santa so the kids could have the perfect photo moment. That level of support meant the world to us.
From start to finish, the team made us feel valued and supported. We are so grateful for their hospitality and would highly recommend this venue for any event, especially if you want a gorgeous space with a staff that truly cares.
Thank you for helping make our Family Day so special!”
“This was the most perfect location for my daughters 1st birthday. We had one of everything in this space and still had plenty of Space to do anything that we wanted to. We will definitely be back for our next one.”
“Very pretty setting, parking was limited for the event that was being hosted. My daughter loved having her prom here. The venue was a bit small from the outside but she said it felt much bigger inside.”

“We just stayed here recently for a friends wedding and had the most wonderful experience. Starting with service, we had some changes in our flights that were beyond our control. Michelle at the front desk went above and beyond to accommodate us, getting us into our room and even mapping out things for us to do. I would come back just from the hospitality alone. Rooms were great and the location is central to everything that we didn't need to even uber most of the locations. Will definitely be returning”
“This is a great pitstop if you’re looking for something fun to do in Athens! Had an amazing tour of the oldest house in Athens. Camila was so knowledgeable and shared some really interesting facts about the home and history of Athens. Chris was also super friendly and helpful! Thank you, both!”
“The staff at Live Wire helped me create a first-class event for my workshop attendees! Everything looked great and my attendees had a great time. The extra touches like music and bar availability, and the easy frequent communication with the team made it all easy for me to plan. Great experience!”
“i wanted to say thank you maria, i loved the way you helped me and my family, thank you for making this day special and perfect! this venue was very clean and i recommend maria!”
“This 1911 school house was built in 90 days for $2490. Restored by Dr Sandra Shockley. Used today for meetings & special events. Was local polling spot until recently. Shockley, Sidwell, Prior, Few, & Pritchett were among leading dairy farmers when Apalachee was a leading dairy center in Georgia. Today Apalachee is an equestrian community.”
“This was a conference center that was being used for a statewide music educators event. It had many rooms with different subjects and concerts being presented. The concert that we were a part of was lovely, although the sound could have been set up a little bit better for the microphones.”
“The circus was amazing. The venue is nice. I wish the seating was better, and there was more signage outside to let you know that you’ve arrived at the venue. Other than that all was well.”

“Our room was haunted. I do recommend this hotel, just not room 525. There was what sounded like a whistling sound and when it got quiet, it sounded like more of a howl. I could hear it from the hallway as well. No other rooms seemed to have this problem.
The breakfast buffet was phenomenal though, which I believe made up for our room being haunted.
My other issue I had was the guy at the front desk told us the parking was on him as a gift to us since it was our anniversary. They still changed us though.”
