Large-scale venues in Lagos such as Landmark, Monarch and The Lekki Coliseum are built for crowds. The Social Atelier answers the opposite brief: an intimate event space in Lekki that works for both a shoot and a small event within a single booking. Nine individually designed, European-inspired spaces sit under one roof on Chuks Onyebuchi Drive, Lekki Phase 1, including Lauren Fair indoors and the Miguel & Moss Garden outdoors, so indoor and outdoor options are available at one address. That dual-use flexibility removes the hours and cost of custom set design, and allows hosts to move from a live production to a private gathering without changing location.
What you are booking
Your booking secures exclusive use of a curated, European-inspired space for your block, with its furniture, styling and props already in place and no additional set decoration required. Bookings run in two-hour, four-hour and full-day (eight-hour) blocks. Studio rooms open Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday, 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, while both event spaces are available by appointment. You may browse the full catalog of curated studio and event spaces or reserve a date directly.
The dual-use advantage: Shoots and events in one place
Unlike the large commercial venues in Lagos that host guest lists in the hundreds, we specialise in intimate gatherings where visual production and social hosting merge. A single booking may pair the elegant indoor Lauren Fair space, from ₦400,000 per hour, with the Miguel & Moss Garden, a flower-adorned gazebo with string lights and a covered patio, from ₦250,000 per hour. Where the priority is content rather than hosting, content studio rental starts at ₦50,000 per hour in the same building.
The catering and vendor policy
Lauren Fair is designed for private dinners, product launches and networking evenings, and includes a kitchenette, flexible seating and elegant lighting options that support a catering team working on site. Decor, service style and layout are agreed with our team when you enquire, so your gathering is set exactly to your taste. [CONFIRM: whether outside caterers and external vendors may be brought in, plus any vendor deposit or conditions]

Frequently asked questions
Are there spaces in Lekki that work for both a shoot and a small event?
Yes. The Social Atelier is one of very few venues in Lekki Phase 1 that is genuinely both a shoot location and a small event space, with curated indoor and outdoor options in one place. You may host your gathering and capture editorial-grade content in the same booking, using the elegant Lauren Fair room indoors and the Miguel & Moss Garden outdoors.
What is the event space hourly rate in Lekki Phase 1?
Event spaces at The Social Atelier in Lekki Phase 1 start at ₦250,000 per hour for the Miguel & Moss Garden and ₦400,000 per hour for Lauren Fair. Photo and content studio rooms range from ₦50,000 to ₦150,000 per hour. Every rate is published up front, and bookings run in two-hour, four-hour and full-day blocks.
Which Lagos event spaces allow outside catering and vendors?
Lauren Fair is built for private catered dinners, launches and celebrations, and includes a kitchenette and flexible seating that support a catering team on site. Your caterer, decorator and layout are confirmed with our team before your date. External vendors may be brought in
How many guests can your intimate event space in Lekki accommodate?
Our spaces accommodate up to 20 guests, depending on the room and the layout you choose. We are designed for a guest list of 20 rather than 200, so the setting stays intimate and photographs well. For exhibitions and receptions in the hundreds or thousands, large commercial venues such as Landmark or Monarch are the better fit.
How far in advance do I need to book a private event venue in Lagos?
Enquire as soon as your date is fixed. Lauren Fair and the Miguel & Moss Garden are available by appointment rather than on the open studio calendar, so the date, the block length and your vendor timings are agreed with our team before the space is held. Choose a space, a date and a duration, and we confirm over WhatsApp.
What are the opening hours and can we book after-hours access?
The Social Atelier is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday, 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Because both event spaces are booked by appointment, evening dinners and early call times are discussed with our team at the point of enquiry, and your full timeline is confirmed before the date.
Can we bring our own props and custom set designs into the venue?
Yes, you may bring your own props and decorations, although our European-inspired rooms require no extra set design to look exceptional on camera. Please share your setup plan with our team ahead of the date so that anything intended to attach to the curated walls, floors or furnishings is agreed in advance.
Is there dedicated parking available for production crews and event guests?
Yes. There are at least 20 on-site car parking spaces at our Lekki Phase 1 location for your crew, vendors and guests. For a larger guest list or a crew arriving in several vehicles, tell our team the expected numbers when you book so that arrivals and equipment loading are planned in advance.
