“Owner Marina Bissette, a conceptual designer, opened Le Bam Studio in January 2008 to cater to private events. “I am very drawn to art and theater”, says Bissette, who also fronts a design company, MB Design. “I am an artist and designer myself, so I was always trying to combine all talents into one. Doing this, I have the opportunity to design events and work with the flexibility of the interior decor. I want to do things differently and bring all of the elements of art into the space”.
ACCOMODATIONS
Le Bam is centrally nested in the heart of Atlanta new the intersection of Piedmont Rd. and Monroe Dr. The venue accommodates up to 100 guests inside standing and 65 with seated dinner.

A list of off-site caters can be provided along with a preferred vendor list, and the staff provides day-of coordination.
With a one-of-a-kind atmosphere and service-oriented staff, brides will find Le Bam unique in both ambiance and attention to detail. “I want to change special events in Atlanta”, Bissette says. “I want to make them more creative and personal. Education in art and design has helped me ensure that my brides are comfortable and to tailor each woman’s wedding to her every imaginable whim.”
Le Bam is perhaps left best to first impressions rather than words. As the old saying goes, seeing truly believing.

Tracey & Michael Reed whose wedding was 5/14/11…
We chose Le Bam the moment we walked in after reviewing several venues. The atmosphere is amazing- truly magical! Everyone went above and beyond to assure our special day was perfect- the wedding coordinator Kandace was a pleasure to work with. Marina and her staff were always on top of things. The food was fabulous, and on our day everything flowed seamlessly. Things I hadn’t even thought of, THEY did! If you’re looking for a central location in Atlanta with a fabulous atmosphere, this is the spot. Indoor/outdoor venue, very unique, little if any additional decor needed. The place sells itself!
Terry and Ken, Dunwoody whose wedding was June 12, 2011…
The second we walked into La Bam, we knew this is where our daughter’s wedding would be, as she wanted a whimsical/magical wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Marina, Kandace, and the Le Bam staff. In fact, they deserve a 10 STAR rating. Marina and her staff were WONDERFUL and very professional. They were on top of every little detail and provided many great ideas that we would have never thought of. They went beyond “the call of duty.” Kandace was fabulous. She too was on top of every little detail and gave us wonderful ideas. Kandace made sure the wedding ran flawlessly, in fact it was PERFECT. The next day, I received so many phone calls from friends and family regarding how beautiful the wedding and venue was, how delicious the food was, and that every staff member was very courteous. If you want a top notced venue, go to Le Bam.
I just wanted to let you know all your artistry and planning efforts made for my little girl’s dream wedding a reality, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We looked and looked for a wedding venue in Atlanta that would suit us…being the people we are it was tough…We wanted an all inclusive, creative space that would leave as much time for us to enjoy our friends and family and leave stress out of the equation. Since neither of us actually live in Atlanta it was even more important that we could trust the planners and event coordinators…Let me just say that even before we got to the space Kandice and Marina assured us that we wouldn’t have to worry and the telephone conversations that we had left us absolutely assured!
Myself, seeing the venue for the first time on the day of the wedding, I was floored…it was as If my Wife’s Vision had come to life, they blew it out of the water…le bam is a special space with special people. The event itself was flawlessly planned, being the groom I can say with certainty that they treat people with the same special attention my own family would. For instance, after our ceremony a special private dinner was planned by Kandice in a little side room full of romantic energy that I would never even have thought of! After all the hectic photos and ceremony I was so appreciative that she understood our needs. The dinner for our guests was amazing, the catering, the set-up was intimate and tasteful. The photo ops were everywhere and as an artist I marveled at the wonderful environment for special events they had created…honestly, there are doors on the ceiling!!! We spent the last hours of the night lounging in the garden which is magical in itself with its beautiful patina wrought iron railings…the balconies and doorways held our best of friends in sacred conversation never to be forgotten….thanks to all at Le Bam for a magical wedding, I could go on and on…
Thank you for the perfect evening. Everyone had a wonderful time. The staff at Le Bam were incredible. I have never before experienced such service at any venue. Everyone’s attention to detail made it so special. The studio looked gorgeous last night. We can’t thank you enough for all your help, advice and hard work.
Sincerely,
Barbara, Craig, and Caroline Harkins
Marina I want to thank you for doing a FANTASTIC job this past Saturday. My guests and I had a great time! I think a couple of my friends want to plan their 40th at your venue.

We would like to thank Marina and her staff at Le Bam Art Studio for everything they did to make our wedding a success. We had the best time at Le Bam and making our wedding a great experience. Every guest said great things about the place and complimented us in how wonderful the venue was. The food was excellent and Marina helped us stay in our budget! I recommend Le Bam to everyone who is looking to hold an event there, and I will tell them that the experience working with them was excellent!
Thanks again Marina!Monique and Frank

Le Bam is Atlanta’s best kept secret! I celebrated my 40th birthday party there and it was an affair to remember! Marina and her staff were so accommodating to my needs, as well as, to my guests. The ambiance was breathtaking! The venue itself was simply beautiful and eclectic, inside and out! I did not have to lift a finger or worry about any minor details. Marina truly captured everything that I envisioned. My quests were in such awe that they are now inquiring about future events there. I am so thankful and grateful for all that you have done. It will be a memory that I will cherish for the lifetime. Sincerely Danithea Weddington-Ward.
My Wedding was beyond amazing!!! I had been to about a dozen wedding location open houses before I accidentally came across Le Bam. The most breathtakingly unique, eclectic, elegant, place! Marina the owner and Georgette the wedding coordinator are so real and down to earth. I could not get over how inexpensive it was to have both wedding ceremony and reception there, because without a doubt this was the place I really wanted. I booked my wedding the next day. The day of my wedding, I didn’t worry about anything! They really made the place look and feel nothing less than enchanting. The transition from wedding to cocktail hour, dinner and reception were coordinated so seamlessly! I have to say, if you want the most beautiful wedding pictures, this is the perfect place! This place was the place of my dreams, the owner made it even more special, with her fabulous designing; she is so talented! Wow fairytale wedding, 100% authentic!!!
“Thanks so much for hosting our lovely wedding. It was everything I was hoping for and more! It was such a perfect day from start to finish. Charles and I had the best time of our lives that whole day. It was so much fun, and I am so thankful that I came across your place while searching online, it was just what I was looking for and it was perfect!! It was really such a great day! Anyway, thanks again so much…. and the experience at Le Bam was wonderful from start to finish and my BIG day was better than I even imagined!!!” ~Carla and Charles
I did my event on a Friday night and we partied all night long till our feet hurt.We booked all-inclusive package with cake and photographer! I had a Sunday brunch here for my out of town guests before they left and we were still in awe at the place when we went back. The tree still had the crystal beading on it from our wedding and we had tea in the garden with finger sandwiches and the DJ on the patio. I can’t imagine anywhere else to have had my magical day in this hidden magical land in Atlanta.
I did a winter wedding for 60 people and was on a limited budget, so we picked day time option.We were able to do everything for under $4,000 with Le Bam working with our budget. The event manager there was a JOY to work with and even got us a free night stay at a hotel for our honeymoon. I would tell any bride looking for a place to make your wedding spectacular and within your budget, this is the place.
I had my wedding here in the fall and all I can say is WOW. My guests were transported to a magical whimsical place as soon as they entered through the door. I had my ceremony under the tented patio and we had great pictures. The waterfalls inside and out made the extra touches we wanted for our wedding. The staff was great and made everything so easy for us to just show up on our BIG DAY. The food from one of their preferred catering companies was to die for. The price for everything was under what we thought we would have to spend.
Venues like Le Bam Studio come few and far between, even in the sprawling heart of Atlanta, which has progressed as the contemporary, cultural hub of the Southeast. Sure, you can choose from a plethora of facilities to host your once-in-a-lifetime event-some elegant, some rustic, some just plain traditional-but nothing quite compares to the modern-day [...] … more
