Athens Cotton Press wedding venue

Athens Cotton Press is an early 1900s cotton press building in the Chase Park Warehouses, restored into an 8,000 sq ft open room. Exposed brick, iron beams, polished concrete and very high ceilings.

Hard surfaces and tall ceilings mean sound bounces. We aim speakers at the crowd rather than the walls and keep volume where people can still talk at their tables. It has two named rooms, the Press Room and the Trade Room.
