Skewed Orbit Studios was the perfect venue for our engagement party. I loved hosting our closest friends and family in this unique, homey setting that perfectly matched the vibe of my fiancé and I. The team was quick to respond, incredibly accommodating, and had an authentic energy that made us feel right at home. The space has a high-end feel with its large windows and cozy ambiance, yet it felt intimate and reasonably priced for all that it offered. My favorite part was being able to stock and decorate their mobile bar cart with our favorite cocktails and flowers. Ben was wonderful in coordinating the details to ensure our vendors and guests had all the information they needed. Our party was hosted at night, and the outdoor atrium has string lights that illuminate the entire studio. It was so cool and enchanting.

Ambient+Studio 

4.0

Atlanta, GA
  • Up to 299 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $4,500

1910. That’s when this studio was built. That’s more than 100 years ago. Before the Titanic. Before World War I. Of course, when they built it they didn’t know it was a studio. They thought they’d built a factory for transforming raw cotton into fire-retardant fabrics. And they did just that for about 84 years. Next came a few years of hand-wringing and a few more of neglect and abandonment. In 2007, they finally turned it over to Jason Ivany. He set it back on track and transformed it into the daylight studio it was always meant to be just before the 100 year mark.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Offers full-service amenities
  • Raw space for complete customization
  • Private area for the wedding party

Venue considerations

  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • No in-house catering options
  • Dance floor not included
Overall, I love AmbientStudio and our experience was smooth and Stage 1 is just beautiful. I'd give a solid 4.5 for the overall experience. The team handled our room flip (ceremony to reception) flawlessly and from my experience the team was all easy to communicate with and handled everything well on the day-of. They were helpful and reasonable with accommodating our needs. One definite area for improvement in our experience would be that we smelled weed both during our rehearsal and our reception. When it's not coming from our guests, that's odd and should not be happening. I never personally laid eyes on the person responsible for that smell, though some of my group did.

We had the most beautiful wedding (ceremony on fountain side of swan house, cocktail hour on columns side of swan house, and reception in the overlook ballroom).
