About

The Historic Atlanta Utility Works By Cultured South is a rustic wedding venue located in East Point, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. The property dates back to the 1900s and was once a manufacturing plant for the agriculture industry. Since then, it has also been featured in both Stranger Things and Ozark, and is a popular filming location for both television and movies.

Facilities and Capacity

The Historic Atlanta Utility Works By Cultured South is carefully preserved to retain its original industrial charm and has been renovated to house a farm brewery and taproom. There's also a dedicated events space where couples are invited to host their wedding celebrations. The Foundry Ruins, as it's called, is ideal for hosting ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions, thanks to its versatile setup. This area sits in the ruins of an old building and is a unique twist on an outdoor space. Red brick walls add an industrial feel to the space, and couples are invited to set up chairs and tables on the lush grass. It can accommodate up to 200 guests, so you can celebrate alongside all of your nearest and dearest. String lighting stretches across the top of the ruins, adding a touch of whimsy to the whole setup. A second event room is offered in the Fermentation Station. This hall is the main feature of the entire property and offers up to 27,000 square feet of space. It's home to both the brewery and taproom.

Melanie and Ocean made my day perfect 🖤

I found AUW just 57 days before my wedding because my other venue fell through after planning for it for an entire year. Thankfully, AUW had my date available because I fell in love the moment I saw it. I also fell in love with Melanie who totally understood my vision and was genuinely excited to have us. She is a total sweetheart and 2 days before my wedding, I was drowning in vendor calls and DIY projects so we hired her to be our day of coordinator. To say she literally took the stress off of my shoulders would be an understatement. Her and Ocean brought my vision to life so beautifully and made me feel so relaxed the day of. The bartender, Ty, was AMAZING as well! Such a sweetie. Melanie’s husband was also our DJ and he honored all of our crazy music requests and was a really cool person to get to know. AUW and their entire team of people are incredible and deserve so much more recognition. 10/10 I would recommend every bride looking for something edgy and romantic to book their wedding here!

I wouldn’t change a thing!

Melanie was absolutely amazing and the space was spectacular! Even through the construction and renovations happening at the time, it was just about as seamless of a process as possible. Our family and friends were in awe as they rounded the corner and saw the setup and were amazed at how the space was transformed. The train was moving but very slowly and quietly throughout the day and actually added a cool vibe to the space, the kids and the men at our wedding all loved watching it 🤣

All in all, it’s an incredible space and team and I’m so glad we picked Atlanta Utility Works for our wedding! 🖤
