Located in West Midtown Atlanta and built-in 1970s as a gospel church, you will be greeted by the history that makes The West Venue the only venue of its kind in Atlanta. For years, the space was used to host congregations until 2003 when it was converted into an event venue.

In 2020, the building was purchased and renovated to upgrade with the latest amenities to add to its one-of-a-kind character, while keeping the original part of the building structure. The venue offers two distinct spaces for your event needs.
