A Match Made in Vegas: The Collective Partners with Atomic Motors Event Venues

Why This Henderson Gem is About to Become Your New Favorite Las Vegas Wedding & Event Destination

There are venues, and then there are experiences. My son Benjamin (DJ Benji Blue) and I had the privilege of touring the Atomic Motors Event Venue in Henderson with Trinity, their Event Management Director—and I’m going to be honest: we walked in curious and left completely captivated.

If you’re planning a Las Vegas wedding, corporate event, or milestone celebration and you’re tired of the same hotel ballrooms and generic event spaces, you need to know about this place. And here’s the exciting news: DJ Benji Blue is now Atomic Motors‘ preferred DJ, which means The Collective Las Vegas is officially collaborating with one of the most unique event destinations in Southern Nevada.

Let me tell you why this partnership has us genuinely excited—and why you should be too.

Not Your Average Event Venue

Five Showrooms. Five Acres. Five Decades of Automotive History.

Atomic Motors isn’t trying to be a venue. It is a venue—accidentally, beautifully, and unlike anything else in Las Vegas Valley.

Spread across five acres in Henderson, this automotive sanctuary houses four showrooms filled with classic cars and motorcycles spanning the roaring ’20s through the swinging ’60s and beyond—plus a full restoration facility, fabrication shop, and Dr. Atomic’s Fusion Emporium gift store packed with vintage memorabilia.

When Trinity walked us through the spaces, I kept thinking: This is what people mean when they say they want their wedding to feel unique.

The spaces range from 1,800 to 9,000 square feet, which means they can accommodate everything from intimate 30-person gatherings to grand 200+ guest celebrations. But here’s what makes it special: you’re not just renting four walls and a ceiling. You’re stepping into curated automotive history.

What Makes Atomic Motors Unforgettable

1. Visuals That Need No Decoration

Let’s talk about wedding décor budgets for a second. Couples spend thousands on florals, lighting, and design elements to transform generic spaces into something memorable. At Atomic Motors? The space IS the design.

Imagine your ceremony in front of a pristine 1957 Corvette. Your cocktail hour surrounded by vintage motorcycles and nostalgic memorabilia. Your reception under the gleam of chrome and the romance of automotive craftsmanship.

Your photographer is going to lose their mind (in the best way). Your guests will spend the cocktail hour actually engaged—exploring, admiring, asking questions—instead of awkwardly making small talk while waiting for the reception to start.

• For car enthusiasts? This is their dream venue.
• For couples who want something different? This delivers without trying too hard.
• For Instagram-worthy moments? Every corner is content gold.

2. Flexibility That Actually Means Flexible

I’ve been in the event industry for 25+ years, and I’ve learned that when venues say “flexible,” they often mean “flexible within these seventeen restrictions.”

Atomic Motors is different. Trinity and her team genuinely want to collaborate with you to bring your vision to life. Want a vintage-themed celebration? Obvious choice. Want a modern, sleek aesthetic that contrasts with the classic cars? They’re here for it. Corporate gala? Milestone birthday? Quinceañera? They’ve hosted it all.

They specialize in corporate events, holiday parties, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings—and everything in between, and what stood out during our tour was their genuine enthusiasm for customization.

3. Location That Makes Sense

Located in Henderson, Nevada, just 20 minutes from McCarran International Airport and the Las Vegas Strip, Atomic Motors offers the rare combination of:

• Easy accessibility for out-of-town guests
• Ample parking (because let’s be real, parking in Las Vegas is a nightmare)
• Climate-controlled, indoor spaces (no worrying about desert heat or unexpected weather)
• A Henderson vibe that feels like a destination without the Strip chaos

For destination weddings where guests are flying in from across the country? The proximity to the airport is clutch. For locals? It’s convenient without feeling like “just another Vegas venue.”

4. A Team That Actually Cares

Here’s what I loved about meeting Trinity: she didn’t give us a sales pitch. She gave us a tour. She asked thoughtful questions about what couples are looking for. She talked about the vision for the space with genuine passion.

When you work with vendors who care—not just about booking events, but about creating meaningful experiences—it changes everything. And after 25+ years in hospitality, I can spot the difference immediately.

Why DJ Benji Blue is Their Preferred DJ

(And Why That Matters for Your Event)

Now, I’m obviously biased—Benjamin is my son—but let me tell you why Atomic Motors chose him as their preferred DJ, and why that partnership creates real value for you.

1. He Understands the Space

Not every DJ can read a room. Not every DJ understands how acoustics work in unique venues. Not every DJ knows how to balance energy in a space filled with vintage cars and diverse architecture.

Benjamin’s background includes 10+ years of professional DJ experience at some of the most eclectic venues across the country—from The Sharks Bar in Panama City to Denver’s Your Mom’s House. He knows how to adapt his setup, sound, and energy to match the space and the moment.

At Atomic Motors, that means understanding how to create ambiance during cocktail hour without overwhelming the space, how to energize the dance floor without bouncing sound off chrome and metal in jarring ways, and how to let the venue shine while keeping the celebration flowing.

2. Military Precision Meets Creative Energy

Benjamin is a medically retired U.S. Air Force veteran, which means two things:

• Reliability: He shows up early, prepared, and professional. Every time.
• Attention to detail: Nothing gets overlooked. Timing is flawless. Coordination is seamless.

But he’s also a creative who understands music is emotion. He reads crowds instinctively, adjusts energy based on what the room needs, and creates moments that feel spontaneous even when they’re expertly curated.

For a venue like Atomic Motors—where the visual experience is already dialed in—having a DJ who can match that level of excellence in the audio experience is everything.

3. Seamless Coordination with The Collective

Here’s where the collaboration gets really powerful: when you book Atomic Motors as your venue and work with The Collective Las Vegas for planning, officiating, or entertainment, you get seamless, unified service.

• Your officiant (me), your planner (also me), and your DJ (Benjamin) are already on the same page—because we’re family and we work together daily.
• No vendor communication gaps. No “I thought you were handling that” moments.
• Timeline coordination that actually works because your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception entertainment are all managed by one trusted team.

Trinity and the Atomic Motors team now have a preferred DJ they trust implicitly, which means smoother planning, better communication, and events that flow beautifully from start to finish.
