"Loved DJing here ! Recently DJd a wedding here. They had the ceremony in the garden. Setup a small speaker and mic system. The reception was in the main room. I will say pack light because there in way to roll in your equipment. It's fine, street parking available. Our up lights looked great in the ballroom / event space. Nice venue"

"Great choice for wedding venue. I captured many beautiful pictures there last month. It has a small secret garden outdoor and gorgeous paintings indoor. - Villa Li Photography"

"Beautiful venue and lovely staff. I had to honor to photograph an intimate wedding at the gallery and the space was perfect for the occasion."

"We hosted a 50 guest wedding ceremony and reception at the Athenaeum in September 2022 and had a wonderful experience! It is such a beautiful setting. We used the gorgeous back courtyard for our cocktail hour at sunset and it felt truly magical. The staff are wonderful to work with and it is in the heart of Old Town near hotels, shops and restaurants which is perfect if you have a lot of guests flying in like we did. The art adds a fun, modern element and we loved the artists featured the month of our wedding. We are so happy we chose the Athenaeum - highly recommend!"

"Small art gallery that also serves as venue for small scale weddings. Currently displaying Art Optimism: Focus on Climate Change and Sustainability. This historic building was opened in 1851 as the Bank of the Old Dominion. It is an example of Greek Revival architecture."
